FIVE NEGRO GIRLS
SENT TO COUNTRY
FEAGlN WILL TRY THEM
ON PROBATION PLAN, AND AR.
RESTS WILL BE STILL FUR.
Their DECREASED.

The first little negro girls to be placed
on probation by Judge Feagin were sent
to the country yesterday. There were five
OF them in the party and they were sent
to various places in the state where they
will be cared for by negro farmers.
The system is practically the same that
Judge Feagin tried on the negro boys,
and that worked so successfully. The first
time little negro girls are arrested and
placed on probation. Their names and ad-
dresses are procured by Probation officer
jackson, negro preacher, and he
watches them to see that they behave
themselves.
The girls are required to report regu-
larly to the police court, and their actions
are watched very closely The second
time they are arrested they are sent to
the country to the farms. where they are
required to work around the house.
Just as In the case OF the little boys,
number of negro farmers are anxious
to get hold of these little negro girls and
use them on the farms. Judge Feagin
requires the farmer who gets one of the
girls to write him at least once week
telling him the condition of the girl and
how she is getting along.
In the last seven months about sixty
five of the little negro boys of the city
have been placed in the country by Judge
Feagin, and the plan has succeeded so
well that Judge Feagin will try the same
plan with the negro girls.
In all probability there are about $50
negro girls In the city who can be put
out on this plan, which Will rid the city
of one Of its worst nuisances. These little
negro girls loter about the streets and
are frequently caught in petty thieving.
Members of the police department state
that they will certainly be glad to get
these girls off the streets.
When the boys were taken in charge
by Judge Feagin the police had a big
burden removed from their shoulders,
and the number of arrests were reduced
at least 100 month by the absence of
the boys. The decrease will not be as
marked in the case Of the girls, as there
are not as many of them.

the strike situation rests. As yet there is

"The force of men at our mines is grad

the sloss-Sheffield company last night,
and we are so encouraged at the outlook
that we are going to open up our Coal
burg mine Monday. This mine usually
turns out about 500 tons of coal a day.
I'VE are going to give our old men an
opportunity to return to work. said Mr..
Maben when asked as to new miners"
and if they do not accept our invitation
we will get men from other states. You
can rest assured that we are going to op-
crate our mines. We already have num-
erous offers of men to come here and
work. but we have been giving the present
men an opportunity before bringing 9TH

This statement by Mr.. Maben practical
ly covers the position of the other oper-
ators. They all express themselves as sat-
isfied and encouraged.

President Flynn and other officials of

Situation in tennessee.

The convention may hold another ses-
sion at later date" said Mr. Farley,
FOR the purpose of coming to an agree
ment with the operators. Up there the
scale is not based on the price of iron as
1t is In Alabama. In fact the anthracite
region and the Alabama district are the
only sections in the country that have the
sliding scale. In Tennessee the miners are
asking for 5SA cents per ton for mining
coal on fiat basis. The operators say
they cannot afford to pay this price and
the matter is ret in allegiance. Another
meeting will probably be held in a few
weeks to try and adjust the differences.
NO do not know the situation as has
been developed in Alabama during the
past few days." said Mr. Farley when
asked about the Alabama strike "Al 1
know is what have seen in the newspa-
pers and am not prepared to give out
statement. 1 will say. however, that I
sincerely hope the strike will soon be
settled"
1t Is probable that Mr.. Farley will at
tend the meeting at Sayreton this after
noon.

Anecdotes of Hall Caine.

Stories about Hall Game, the Manx
author, always show interesting phases
of his personality, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. The last time I
saw Sir Gilbert Parker, he said:

in Paris one day, when my progress
was arrested by a dense crowd in front
of an art shop. Evidently, thought l,
there is an extraordinary picture on
exhibition. The canvas was a remark
able idealization of the Savior-a thin,
strong Hebraic face with closely crop
ped red hair and beard.
Suddenly the crowd parted to admit
a man who approached with bowed
head. 1t was Hall Caine. He stood
before the portrait with folded arms,
gravely studying the face and pose
of the figure on the canvas. The SIM
ilarity of the portrait to the man stand
ing before it was very striking.
"Caine turned to go, but, seeing me,
came to my side.
- Say. did you notice how the
crowd parted to admit me?" asked
Game.

And do you see how these people
make way for me as go away?'
