TOLD OF
HORRORS IN
the CONGO

The meeting in behalf OF the Congo
State mission which was held in Sayles
hall last evening was attended by a fair
sized audience. Bishop McVickar pre-
sided and opened the meeting with a
few remarks He said the meeting was
the result OF a letter received about
week ago from the Congo Reform asso-
ciation OF Boston, asking 10 call together
a few representative men In behalf Of
outraged Congo people. He added that
the advertisements of the meeting had
been received kindly by all with the ex-
ception Of the cynical Providence Jour
nal
Bishop Mcvickar then introduced Rev.
Thomas r. Barber, secretary OF the
American Baptist Missionary society. He
spoke OF the relation OF the Congo gov
eminent with the other governments, es-
pecially with the United States. The
United States was the first government
to recognize the Congo government and
its conduct throughout has been consist
ent.
Rev. j. n. Harris. who with his wife,
has spent seven years I'm the Congo re-
gion, was next introduced. He said the
defenceless people OF Congo are under
control OF armed black men known as
sentries, who are hired by white men en-
gagged in the rubber business The natives
are compelled TO bring In great quantities
OF rubber and IL they fail to bring In the
required amount they are chained or
thrown I'm prison, while some are killed
outright. chief and natives prefer death
so the perpetual terror and place them
selves I'm the way OF death lie cited in
stances of atrocities and raids In the
Congo region. Women's feet are cut of
In order 10 get the ankets which they
wear. while babes have their brains
dashed out in the presence OF their moth
ers. The condition Of affairs beggars
description.
Mrs. Harris spoke next and described
narrowing scenes which were attendant
on some Of the raids which occurred IN
their district.
Rev. Thompson OF Boston closed the
speaking with an earnest appeal for sup
port and sympathy. He said the watch
word should be reform. But who II TO do
the reforming? King Leopold says that
ne is the man for this duty But he Is
the author OF the abuses and Is nothing
more than a murderer. II Is hardly prob
able that a man II years old will be the
-eformer. The speaker expressed the hope
hat the United States Will take the lead
N this matter az 30 great importance
After q collection was taken. a series of
resolutions were read and unanimously
adopted. invoking government interven-
tion. after which the meeting adjourned.

There was a very good attendance OF
the commissioned officers Of the brigade,
all appearing in dress uniform, without
side arms, as the order issued from the
adjutant generals office provided.
Mai Charles w. Abbott. who is a re-
tired army officer. commenced with the
organization OF the various divisions OF
the military bodies, explaining that of
the squad, company, battalion, regiment,
OF brigade "A corps and army, and then
touched upon the officers and the make
up Of the stan required.
The dry facts as given in the regula-
tions took on new meaning as explained
by the major and the members Of regi-
mental and brigade staffs were able TO
get many new points.
Under the heading OF orders, variety
OF forms were quoted and the need for the
forms explained, and then some sample
orders for the sake Of illustration were
issued
What is needed for the subsistence Of
an army and its various parts, such as
food. drink and forage was next spoken
OF as well as the problem Of getting am
munition and maintaining proper sup
ply at all times no matter how extensive
or apparently trivial the operation to be
undertaken.

Julia Sylvester, a T-year-old girl, lived
with her brother on the fourth floor. He
had gone out and taken the key, so she
could not escape.
She threw up the window and stood on
the ledge. The crowd below saw her.
Don't jump" they cried. Stand SIN
till the hremen help YOU"
But the girl had no intention of jumping
or OF standing still either. There was an
electric wire alive but insulated running

Protecting herself from the clouds OF

enough TO enable her TO get foothold

She carefully balanced herself on the

view OF the crowd below by clouds OF
smoke. Twelve feet beneath her was the
coping OF the porch.
II was only four feet wide and many
an agile man would have hesitated
at the jump But the plucky girl did not.
She guaged the distance, then swung cas-
lly off the wire and dropped.
The crowd yelled itself hoarse when II
saw her alight Oh her feet on the roof
OF the porch. The rest was easy. she
opened the window In front of which she
had dropped. and entering the house de-

STABBER OF
WOMEN

81. Louis. Jan 26.-The known victims
OF Jack the stabber. the young degener-
atS.who has created terror on the streets
OF ST. Louis, now number fourteen.
The list OF victims and how injured is
as follows:
Mrs. Martha Young. left leg
Miss Lydia Heddesheimer. left thigh.
Miss Rosa Keringer. abdomen.
Miss Amelia Meusei. right thigh.
Miss Katherine Freemeier, stomach.
Miss Rita Martin, left leg.

Miss Clara Won Behren, left thigh.
Miss Maud Hall left hip
Miss Laura Marschel, right thigh.
Miss Marie Kratser. left thigh.
Miss Jennie Sharp OF Belleville, Ill, left
hip.
II is believed by the police that there
are other victims who have RETAINED
from reporting their experiences. Several
OF those named said yesterday that they
would never have said anything about
their injuries but for their desire TO aid
in the capture OF their assailant.
WOUNDS NOT SERIOUS.
The experiences OF the fourteen women
were so similar and the nature OF their
wounds was so remarkably alike that
there is no doubt that the same man at
tackled them all.
In each case slight young fellow hur-
ried up 10 or passed the victim on a run
or a rapid walk and jostled her. A slight
blow from his hand was all they felt. and
not one OF them knew she was cut till
several minutes later. None OF the wounds
is deep or serious. and II is evident that
the nend did not mean 20 injure them
seriously
