HELD AS SLAVES.
Skilled Workmen on Island OFF Floridl
Coast.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. Mass, November 1s-A SEN
sational story has just been made public
that some 800 worsmen. mechanics of all
trades, held as white slaves on an
island in the Gulf of Mexico off the Florida
coast, somewhere within reach of Key
West. They were shanghaied from Kings
land, n. J., whence they were lured on the
promise of receiving from So to So per day
as skilled workmen. On this island they
work as laborers at road-making, being
nomirally paid S1.25 per day, but boarding
themselves. the company in charge fixing
unheard-of prices for everything. Armed
guards patrol the shores of the island and
there is no possibility of escape. All the
men are over ears in debt to their en-
ployers and are becoming desperate.
The news of this white slavery was re-
ceived in letter from Michael Brannick,
a union bricklayer who was one of those
Shanghaied from the New Jersey rendeZ-
vous. He managed in some way to SNUG
gle through a letter, which was posted from
Brannick of No. Crimmins place, Charles
town, and who communicated Immediately
with the bricklayers' union. Brannick says
he was offered So per day by an employ
ment agent to work in Florida for the win
ter. On leaving Boston he had an agree
ment to work for Connors Brothers at
Kingsland N j. some boiler work. 1t
was from that place he disappeared with
the employment agent. Officers of the union
will see Senator Lodge and Representative
Sullivan to ask for their Intervention and
investigation of the matter.

NEW |ND|C MEN rs
Against Greene and Gaynor
Returned in Savannah.
FOUR CHARGES IN ALL
FOR WHICH THEY WILL BE
BROUGHT TO TRIAL.
Alleged to Have Received Money
Known to Have Been Embezzled
Accused Men Present.

SAVANNAH, Ca, November 1S.-Two ad-
ditional indictments, charging embezzle-
ment and receiving the money Of the United
States that was known to have been en-
bezzled by ex-Capt. Oberlin M. Carter, were
returned in the federal court tonight
against Benjamin D. Greene, John F. Gay
nor, William T. Gaynor and Michael A.
Connolly.
The two former indictments against the
prisoners were for conspiracy to defraud
the United States and for presenting false
accounts. They were covered by the ex-
tradition charge designated in the treaty
as participation In fraud by an agent"
Other Charges.
The defendants were also extradited from
Canada on the two other charges, which
were participation In embezzlement and for
receiving money that was alleged to have
been embezzled. AS they had not previ-
ously been indicted upon these charges.
Special Assistant United States Attorney
General Marion Erwin thought 1t wise to
fortify the position of the government by
presenting the accused on the two addi-
tional charges. They now stand charged
as follows:
FirSt-Conspiracy to defraud the United
States government.
Second-Presenting false accounts.
Third-Em bezzlement.
Fourth-Receiving money that belonged
to the government, knowing 1t to have been
embezzled.
A feature of the proceeding was the pres
ence in court during the afternoon session
of Greene and Gaynor, who were brought
from the jail under guard. With them were
P. w. Meldrlm and A. A Lawrence of coun-
sci for the defense.
Just as the jury was about to retire after
having been charged by Judge Emory Speer,
Col. Meldfim stated that he did not wish
1t to be understood that the defense waived
their right to object to the poll and the
array. Mr.. Erwin replied that the time had
passed wherein the defense had a right to
object and Judge Speer said that 1t was a
matter that could be determined later.
No Local Man on Jury.
Not Savannah man was on the grand
Jury. ALI the Jurors were drawn from other
counties of the district than this, q plan
that was followed in drawing the grand
fury which originally indicted the defend
ants.
The new indictments were not returned
against Carter. Those against him the
first two charges appearing above still
stand.

dition 10000 shares, worth S75O,OO0 for the

THINK he IS COMING
SENAToR-ELECT LA TOILETTE OF
WISCONSIN,.

The fact that Senator-eIect La Toilette of
Wisconsin has been making inquiries about
real estate in this city is taken to mean
that he proposes to relinqush his guberna-
torial chair and attend the session of the
Senate Mrs. La Toilette was down a few
days ago dickering for $4,000 piece of
property on Grant avenue, In Mt. Pleasant
The deal was not completed, however, and
SO far as known the governor senator has
not yet located.
Wisconsin people in town think that he is
surely coming. They say the governor Is a
little bit perpleXed with a surplus of official
riches. 1t is case of how happy he could
be If t'other dear charmer were away, for
he has difficulty in making up his mind
which ''yob'' he prefers. 1t is said that his
main trouble is that he would have to turn
the governorship over to lieutenant gov
ernor of whom he is not certain that he
will stay put in the La Toilette column
The governor would like to keep the line
of succession in the La Toilette faction II
possible.
His Seat All Ready.
His seat is all ready for him in the Senate
where Sergeant alarms Ransdall has To-
Gated him over in the Cherokee strip"
section on the democratic side Of the cham
ber, along with young Senator Burkett,
young Senator Brandegee, Senator Warner
ana some Otner new ones. lher0 was tdlK
awhile back that Gov, La Toilette might
decide to remain in Wisconsin and, upon
resigning from the Senate appoint former
Representative Isaac N. Stevenson, the man
who Is said to have financed the last La
Toilette campaign, but it Is considered very
doubtful If the Senate would accept such
an appointment In the circumstances.
Senator La Follette's salary has been ac-
cumulating since March last, but he prob
ably will not draw 1t. 1t will be recalled
that David B. Hill of New York held on to
the gubernatorial chair after he had been
elected to the Senate, in order to shut out
a lieutenant governor, and when he did
come to Washington declined his salary and
some So, 600 was covered back into the treas
ury.
An Interesting Sight.
If he comes to the Senate it will be an
interesting sight to see his collea que, Sena-
tor Spooner, escorting him on his arm to
have not spoken to each other since Sena-
tor Spooner was reelected to the Senate,
and are about as congenial as oil and water.
The governor-senator is peppery indi-
vidual and he may do as did Senator Clarke
of Arkansas with his colleague. Senator
Berry, in similar circumstances-fervidly
consgn him under his breath to warmer
cline and stalk down the aisle alone, which
probably would not hurt Senator SpoonerS
feelings even little bit.
President Roosevelt will have a nice lit
tie problem, too, to decide the distribution
of Wisconsin patronage, so, all in all, the
probable advent of the wisconsin Is
looked forward to with considerable inter-
est as likely to add materially to the gay
ETY. of things in the Senate and the admin
istration.

CANNES, France, November 1s-The dis
graced Grand Duke Cyril makes no secret

whose detestation of the former Grand

THE emperor himself said Cyril, would

Is a man of exquisite goodness of heart,
but the czar is spoiled by his wifes infiu-
ence. The emperor had no-right to de-
prive me of my title and rank as grand

could only be legal If pronounced by the
entire council of grand dukes. Grand Duke
