GREEK BOYS SOLD.
Michigan Cities Have White slave
BootbIacks.

BootbIacks.
White slavery is being practiced in
Kalamazoo and other Michigan cities.
The escape recently of a 13-year-old
bootblack from his master, Anthony
Demers. owner of a Greek shoe shin
ing parlor, at Kalamazoo, and Demers'
anxiety to recapture the child, reveal
ed the methods practiced. Every year
boys are being picked up on the streets
of Greek cities and sold into slavery
in this country. Inc purchasers are
Greeks, who pay. from $50 to SIS for
a 5 or 6-year-old boy for the first year.
The second year the price is advanced
SIS. Each succeeding year small
advance is made until the boy is of
age. Then the "boss" must take his
chances with his protege.
Nicholas Demoggeor was shipped
from Greece IL months ago, to Kala-
mazoo, and, after suffering many in
dignities, escaped. Peter Sarantos, a
Greek rs years old, who has spent
the greater part of his life as shoe
sinner without compensation, took
pity on the youngster and ran away
with him.
Anthony Demers and his brother,
| Alexander, are at the head Of shoe
shining organization which operates
"parlors" at Kalamazoo, Battle Creek,
jackson, South Bend, st. Joe, Benton,
Harbor, Detroit and Chicago. With
possibly two exceptions the work OF
polishing shoes is all done by little
Greek boys. whose ages range from
5 to Is years. Practically all are be-
lieved to be slaves.
The matter came to the attention of
Kalamazoo authorities when Demers
reported that Sarantos and Demoggeor
had run away from him. He said he
bought both boys from their parents.
The case has been referred to the
United States immigration commits
sioner and Demers is under arrest.

CAME TO BLOWS

There was mix-up last night on the
free-for-all political stand at the corr
ner of Hotel and Bethel streets in
which couple of the Home Rulers who
essayed to talk to the crowd, got the
worst of it. CaypIess departed from
the lively crowded section with a
bleeding nose, and John Wise. the a6
to 1 Democrat-kuokoa-H Home Ruler,
found the wisest course to be to take
to his heels and repair to a place less
dangerous to his features. Caypless
went on the stand and in his argument
challenged any Republican to refute
his statements. Birbe accepted and

up Birbe and began dealing in person.
alities.. When they became unbearabie
Birbe passed the lie and Caypless slap
ped his face, and was knocked hard
by Birbe, blow on the nose unloosen-
ing the claret. The police at once
rushed forward. and Caypless gave
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth the defy,
which resulted in Caypless taking a
tumble from the stand in a heap. John
Wise then mounted the platform,
abused the Advertiser and vaunted his
physical powers. In some way he
countered Pinkerton, the herculean
motorman, and in an instant Pinkerton
made rush for Wise Had the two
come together Wise might have been
subject for the coroner. Chilling
worth grasped Pinkerton, but was
thrown off, when McDuffie. Pinker-
tons old "bunkie." came to the rescue.
Wise took advantage of the situation
to make hurried exit to a near by
saloon. He remained there until
favorable opportunity came TO slip
away.

suggestion of Admiral Beckley, who
with r. T. Guard, a member of the

piled by E. D. Baldwin, a traveller over
the identical route during the eruption

As proven by the vain attempts made
to reach the eruption from other direc-

which the lava is generally expected to
overflow from the crater.
The trail, over which horses, with
due care in the higher attitudes, may

Generalization Ia the spot position in the

corded a decline OF TO II points on de-

OF weekly weather report answered the
expectations OF those builishly inclined

followed, prices here improving some II
points from the lowest point reached dur
ing the early trading hours. Liverpool
must await the result Of our markets ac-

this market has gone into the control OF
the leading bulls the weight on this mar
ket can be considered as lifted and prices
allowed to take their natural course

to the end of the season will have to
close up inasmuch as they cannot OBJ
tain any supplies now worth mentioning.
It Is believed that the bureau OF the

true baekwardness of the crop; hence
the uneasiness on the part of shorts who
were responsible for the unexpected rise
of today by their propmt covering. Late
Liverpool cables say that the closing OF
mills will have the effect of stiffening the
cotton goods market.
