Washington, May II. - The depart

received indicating that hundreds OF
negroes are held in servitude.

Some of the stories told are sensa-
tional in the extreme, and if their
truth is established the department
will vigorously prosecute the offenders.
Judge Mcdaniel and Marshal Hanson
of the Southern Texas district have
made some investigations, but have
been unable to accomplish anything
tangible because the places in which
the negroes are said to be held in
bondage are far out of their jurisdic-
ton. In addition to the charges made
by negroes, the Texas officials have
forwarded the statement of a white
man living in Houston, who has made
several trips through Northern Louis.

Saturday night and moved to Mime

so large business asst expected, owing

cleared up enough money so as to leave
the members of Co. q share for the
latter's work in getting concessions. A
number of the shows given by the
company were worthy attractions,
while the balance were of the ordinary
type-nothing Objectionable or bad, but
just ordinary. The only bad feature
was the large number of cheap jewely
and other takers following the show,

with the show proper conducted them

lot of show people were ever in the

are injurious to business and take more
