OLD MORMON ELDER
LOSES YEAR 0lD6lRl

A press dispatch from Washing
ton, dated yesterday, says: Com
missioner General Sergeant of the
immigration service today recciv-
ed a report in the case of Susan
Henry, the 11-year old Scotch girl
deportcd after being brought to this
country by Elder Emmanuel Bach
man, of Shelley, Ida. The report
shows that Bachman had not legal
ly adopted the girl but attempted to
bring her in under bogus adoption
papers. Her parents are Mormons
and Bachman says he has their
written consent to bring the daugh-
ter to this country, though he had
known them only two months. The
girl when first landed said she came
willingly, but when cross-question-
ed alone cried to be taken back to
her home, saying her father had al
ways supported her and could do SO
still. She said Bachman father

When Backnan first took charge
of the girl he promised to give her
a good home and educational advan-
tagess sand promised to let her play
on his fine 500 piano, but his
cruelty began when the ship clear

After investigation the inmigra-

home because she was not icaglly
adopted and because it was evident
Bachman would illtrcat her and,
because of her tender years, it was
thought she would be better off with
her parents. Technically she was
returned because "'1ikely to become

Commissioner Sargent says the
Mormons have been operating ex-
tensively throughout northern Eu-
rope and in the British Isles, anc
have made many converts. They
have been bringing these people
here in parties of fifty, many men,
but more particularly attractive,

mere fact that these proselytes are

to debar them, and unless it car

CHAUFFEURS OLD AND NEW

A WORD of French origin that has lately
n been Incorporated into the English
language has derivation little known. This
is the word chauffeur, applied to the driver
of an automobile. The word comes from
ehanfer, furnace, and originally meant
fireman or stoker.
Only close students of French history prob
ably remember that during the Reign of Ter
ror there existed dreadful band of outlaws
in France, called Chauffeurs. These had their
headquarters in the woods near Chartres at
first. but later extended over other parts of
the country.
The tales of the atrocities committed by
this gang would be beyond belief, did not all
human history go to prove that the foulest
deeds whereof imagination can conceive can
not equal the wickedness that man can actu-
ally do. They strangled to death whole families
for the sake of plumber, and it was common
practice of theirs to torture their victims with
fire to make them reveal the hiding place of
money or other treasure. 1t was not. how
ever. as has been grimly supposed, because of
this hideous practice that they were given or
chose to assume the name chauffeur, or burner,
but from the fact that for disguise they plas-
tered their faces with SCOT, or wore black
masks, thus giving themselves the appearance
of stokers
With the invention of the automobile, the
name chauffeur was given in France both to

the driver who operated the carriage and the
mechanic who looked after the machinery
used these two were combined in one indi-
vidual, and the name travelled to Great Brit
ain and thence to America, and indeed, to all
parts of the world. The chauffeur is as much
in evidence in the settled parts of Australia as
in the Northern United States
There is movement on foot for the intro
duction of course of training for chanfeurs
