WHITE GIRL SLAVES IN
THE DRESSMAKER SHOPS

Special Gable to The Herald
VIENNA, August 4.-The sensational
revelations of the Illustriertes Wiener
Extrablatt regarding the corruption in
the Viennese police are creating great
interest. The story is almost incredi-
BILE, but the newspaper declares that
it is prepared to prove its statements.
The Extrablatt has made allega-
tions regarding certain alleged dress
making establishments and the terrible
treatment which white girl slaves have
to undergo until they submit to every
infamy. The mother who informed the
Extrablatt and thus raised the out
cry, was able to see her daughter, but
only in the presence of several other
persons. In these circumstances the
girl dared not complain; but a few
days later she secured the services of
new servant, who gave a letter to
the mother. The mother complained,
but without avail, and the assertion
is that the police protect such places.

SOLDIER HAS FIERCE FIGHT
WITH AN INDIAN PANTHER

CALCUTTA, Aug. Am extraordi-
nary adventure in a bedroom with
panther is told by Lieut. Colonel Rum
die. the commander of the Fifth brl-
gade of the Royal Field artillery at
Jubbulpore, in the Pioneer.
One afternoon Mrs. Rumble came out
of a portion of the bungalow that was
seldom used, and said she had seen the
tail of a panther protruding from be-
hind a large coil OF mating IN one o5
the rooms Colonel Rumble supposed
that the animal was tame panther
| and sent for a brother officer to assist
in dispatching it.
| Opening the door enough to insert his
rife barrel, he fired and wounded the
beast. The door swung open as the
wounded animal bounded against 1t. 1t
then sprang at Colonel Rumble. missing
him by about a foot, and bolted.
Colonel Rumble, with Lieutenant Ma
can, reconnoitered each room in turn.
Eventually the panther was found in q
spare room hiding behind a coil OF
mating.
There was a window to this room
about fourteen feet from the ground,
and Colonel Rundle procured ladder,
but before he could get his rifle up the
panther had seen him and sprang
through the doorway.
Lieutenant Macan fired two shots, but
neither proved fatal, and the panther
bolted out of the house and across the
tennis court into the r. A. mess COM
pound.
Here it gave chase to an inquisitive
sweeper, but was too badly wounded to
do more than make clutch or two at
the mans clothes.
Finally it darted into an adjoining
building where it was dispatched

HARTGR0vE MAY NOT

OREGON OFFICER COMES FOR
PAsADENA MAN
Suspect Lies In jail Ten Days on Au-
thorlty Given by Wire and Habeas
Corpus Proceedings Do Not Bring
His Release
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 4.-Frank Hart
grove, the self-confdent young man
wanted at Albany, Ore. on an embez-
element charge, was not released today
by habeas corpus proceedings, as he
and his friends had confidently ex-
pected.
Chief Pinkham took the prisoner to
Los Angeles this forenoon and ex-
planned that an Oregon officer was
momentarlly expected with warrant
for the man and that in spite of the
fact that Hartgrove has now been In
Jail ten days on the mere authority of
a telegram from Oregon officials 1t
seemed certain that no mistake was
made in the arrest.
Judge Smith decided on this repre-
sentation to postpone the habeas corpus
proceedings again, this time until
Wednesday. Hartgrove was returned
to his cell at the Pasadena lookup.
Late this afternoon the much wanted
Oregon official arrived. He is Deputy
Sheriff Frank G. Schumacher, and he
brings the necessary papers and tells
of numerous alleged crimes in the
north for which Hartgrove is wanted
When confronted by the prisoner he
Immediately identified him as the man
he wanted.
Hartgrove called out:
Now, did you ever see me before?''
The officer smiled as he replied:
"If l never have you have double
whom you want to shoot as soon as
you get chance"
The Oregon officer is an old hand at
government business, having been
with the United States troops in the
far east during the Spanish war. He
is anxious to save his state as much
money as possible and Immediately be-
gan to arrange compromise with the
prisoners attorney, Judge Rossiter OF
this city. 1t is believed that nothing
can be accomplished by waiting until
Wednesday and fighting the habeas
corpus proceedings. If Hartgrove is
innocent of the charges against him
he has little to fear from going to Ore
gon peaceably with the officer and
facing his accusers.
1t is believed that an agreement OF
some sort will be reached tonight by
those concerned which will enable the
Oregon officer to start on his return to-
morrow or Monday at the latest, with
his prisoner.

FINE GRANITE LEDGE FOUND
Owners of Quarry Hope to Supply the

Product
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Aug. A quarry of
the finest granite ever discovered on
the Pacific coast has been opened
within two miles of Perris, this county.
Stone Bros. and J. La Borde are the
owners of the deposit, Mr.. La Borde
being the discoverer Of the ledges. The
owners have tract of 200 acres on
which the ledge is located and they
think the supply is practically mex
haustible. The granite is very dark in
hue and it takes high polish. 1t is
believed that 1t will supercede all Ver-
mont granite that now comes into the
state. Eventually the owners hope to
supply the entire west with the pro-
duct. Los Angeles parties who in
spected polished samples at once
ordered three carloads of the granite,
Air compressors and derricks will be
