fire into the cable cutters, and at one
time Captain Young. who personally
commanded one of the cutters, was
in the midst of a veritable rain of
Spanish bullets. One ripped his
sleeve and another touched him
lightly on the shoulder.
An experience of different nature
which brought Lucien Young into
the public eye occurred at the time
of the revolution in the Hawaiian
islands. The insurrectionists had
deposed Queen Lilioukalani and had
raised the American flag at Honolulu.
Their American war vessels had ar
rived In the harbor under the COM
mand of Admiral Erwin.
The latter ordered Young to go
ashore and haul down the flag.
Young declined. He told his superior
officer that he would submit gladly
to courtmartial, but he never would
have ii said of him that he hauled
down his countrys flag.
He was not courrmartialed
After the Spanish war Commander
Young was made captain of the port
of Havana and while stationed there
had an escape which is not chron-
icled in the official records. He was
returning to his vessel in the har-
Dor one evening. after a day in town.
AS he was about to mount the ladder
from his small boat, being a heavy
man and the light not very good. he
swayed backward and plunged head
forward into the waters of Havana
harbor.
His bullics caught him by the
heels as he went down and pulled
him back into the tender.

One evening in the late fall the

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July PA
black-eyed, black-haired baby girl
has been installed as the mascot of
the Louisville team. She is Edna
Woodruff, the 2-year-old daughter of
Orrville Woodruff, third baseman of
the Hopefuls.
Woodruff is a model domesticated
ball player. He loves the game, but
when the last inning has been play
ed, he rushes to the club house, and,
after getting into his street clothes,
joins his wife and baby, who wait
for him at the exit. Woodruff goes
to morning practice, wheeling the
| little one in her gocart, and she COOS

AS a mascot, the little girl has
proved a success. Louisville was
playing Toledo recently and, after a
game, uphill struggle. tied the score
in the ninth inning. With two men
out and a man on third, Woodruff
came to bat.
The little girl, leaning out on the
arms Of her mother, who was seated
in the grandstand, cried out a greet
ing to her father as he stepped to the
plate. Woodruff hit the first ball
pitched to right field for clean
single, and won the game.
Her latest feat as mascot was

Fascinated me. He followed me
home. He talked nice to me and
told me l was very pretty, which
made me like him a little. He said
he would be my friend and after a
few weeks he said that he would
marry me and we would go away OF
to America where we could live in
happiness and he would make much
money.
Il believed him and trusted. My
mother would not listen to our plan
Then We ran away. He brought me
to New York. 1 asked him to keep
his promise and marry me. He
laughed and told me that people did
not get married in America. Then
he became harsh and cruel and l
was very much afraid of him. One
day he struck me in the face. Then
I trembled all of the time. 1 was
afraid he would kill me-
HE turned me out on the street
at night and told me to bring him
money. When l did not bring
enough he would beat me with his
fists until l wanted to die. Some
times l would bring him S. Then
he would pound me and tell me that
he would choke me to death if l did
not bring more. When l brought $40
he would not say much, but he would
treat me kindly if l brought him
more.
'He took all. He bought me what
wear He wore the finest clothes and
went to fine hotels and restaurants
and bet his money at the race tracks.
He drank wine all of the time.
TT was about a year ago that l
discovered that Gerdron had other
white slaves. He abused them, too.
His men associates were doing just
the same. There are many of them
in New York. They have club.
Il tried to get away from him
many times. But he knew always
where I would go, and he said he
would kill me. 1 was afraid. l told
the police that l was afraid and
showed them the marks where he
had beaten me. On the night that
they arrested him I went identify
him in a crowd. When he cried out
before them all that he would kill
me for what l had done, l knew that
he would carry out his threat, so I
took a pistol from my dress and
killed him. o, Gerdron, you are dead
and I am glad"
The girl fairly glories in her act
She does not weep. Her father and
mother, the former i'll, came to New
York a few months ago to attempt
her rescue. They failed because she
feared death at the hands of her
master.
Stirred by the story of this I'M
fortunate girl and by the revelation
of this horrifying condition, several
hundred women have banded them
selves together to raise fund with
which he may be defended in the
courts and be saved from paying the
penalty OF death in the electric chair
at Sing Sing.
Several womens clubs have taken
interest in the case and are using all
of their influence to stir the police
to action to stamp out the hideous
evil of the Gerdron vampires. Mrs.
Charlotte Smith, president of the
Women's Rescue league. in a letter
to the French ambassador asked
that the French government take
some action in behalf of her defense.
