BREEDING OF HUMAN RACE
Stock Raisers at Chicago Propose a
Censorship at All Mar
riages.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Wedding bells
will ring only for those happy young
inspection test, if the ideas Of the
American Stock Breeders association
are carried out. The association has
turned for the moment from the con-
sideration of cattle. sheep and hops
to the culture Of humans, and it will
be the ultimate business of the COM
mittee of eugenics, just appointed, to
keep an eye out for ill-mated pairs.
A marriage censorship may result if
the inspection idea proves practicable.
Professor Charles r. Henderson, Of
department, is a member of the COM
mission, of which DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell is chairman. Other members
appointed by Secretary William M.
Hayes of the stockbreeders' associa-
ZION, are Dr. CnarleS woodruff, y. W..
Ward Of New York, and Rev. ]. E.
Gilbert, of Washington. To improve
the quality of human beings is to be
the task Of the eugenics experts.
The immediate object Of the COM
mittee, as explained yesterday by
Professor Henderson, is to spread in
formation in regard to the ill effects
of the marriage of defective persons,
including "imbeciles, idiots and feeble
minded" insane persons, confirmed
drunkards, and rural degenerates
would ultimately be restrained in col
onies and kept from marrying.

BRIDE IS Thirteen AND
THE HUSBAND nineteen

ASHvILLE, N. c., Nov. 2.-Nine-
teen-year-old Harley Lee Young and
his thirteen-year-old bride Of four
days. who was pretty Addielee Warren
of George vanderbilt's Biltmore estate
have disappeared.
Addielee's father has had George
Soutner, aged eighteen, who procured
the marriage license for Harley and
Addielee, arrested, and in default Of
a heavy bond sent to prison.
Her parent has given notice that he
will begin a suit against the Register
of Deeds, A. B. Fortune, for issuing
the license, and against the Rev. A. S.
Whitaker, Of Biltmore, who tied the
nuptial knot.
Souther swore that Addielee was
nineteen and Harley was twenty-o,.e.
When Addielee's father went in pur-
suit of the youthful couple for the
purpose of bringing his daughter
home, on the following morning after
"she and Harley had been married."
they refused to be separated from
each other, and when her father
threatened to use force Harley fired
several shots at him. The enraged
parent went after a policeman, and
the bride and groom escaped.
The father of Addielee is B. w.
Warren, prominent citizen of Bilt-
more, and says he is determined to
find his daughter and bring the BRIDE
groom to justice. The bride is IN
short dresses.

HORRIBLE TALES OF CRUELTY
TO SLAVES FROM THE
INTERIOR.
WORK "BlAckB|RGs" ON PLANTATION

CAPE TOWN, Nov. 2.-Mr. Pienaar,
VINO was formerly a commandant with
the Beers, and subsequently settled in
Angola, is contributing a series of ar
ticles to the Cape Times, descriptive
of his experiences in Portuguese West
Africa. He declares that a system Of
slavery exists in all the Portuguese
West African islands, and also on the
mainland.
Men and women are brought from
the interior, shackled together in some
instances by wooden shackles, in
patches of four, being driven like cat
tie for weeks in this position without
any consideration for age or sex. They
are brought in this way to the coast,
where a certain formula is gone
through to legalize this vicious trade
in human flesh. A Portuguese official
gets upon a box and reads a paper
to these poor creatures. When he has
finished they are told to say Yes He
then testifies that he has read con-
tract binding them for certain period
to the islands of the cocoa plantations
for a certain remuneration. They then
get little tin box containing a copy
of the contract, which is tied around
their necks.
This document appears to be In or
der and according to law, but the
cruelty is that the men and women do
not understand single word of what
is read to them nor is it intended that
they should.
81 have mad hot arguments about
this matter, and have been told that
the negroes are free to return to their
native country at the expiration of
their contract, but 1 am quite sure
that you can not find half a dozen
who have actually returned"

DEMOCRATS TO
MEET sept. 20
COMMITTEE NAMES DATE FOR
COUNTY CONVENTION
Effort Is to Be Made, With Assurance
Of Success, to Induce Mr.. Bryan
to Visit Los Angeles
This Fall

At a meeting Of the executive COM
mittee Of the Democratic conuty cen-
trail committee yesterday it was de-
oided to call the county convention
September 20.
The meeting win be held in Elks'
hall. Some opposition to the choice OF
this hall was manifested on the
ground that it was not large enough to
accommodate the delegates ana the
crowd that is expected to attend, but IL
was pointed out that this was prac-
tically the only available place In the
city. It is desired to hold the conven-
ton In Los Angeles and just now con-
vention halls are very scarce. There
will be 765 delegates to the county con-
vention, and the chances therefore are
that EllSs' hall will be somewhat
crowded.
Primary elections In the country dis
tricts to select delegates to the county
convention and who will also serve in
the district assembly districts were
called for August is at 2 o'clock p. M,
the places for holding these primaries
to be fixed by the committeeman Of the
various precincts.
To the State Convention
District assembly conventions for the
purpose of selecting delegates TO the
state convention will be held August
25 at 2 O'Clock. in Elks' hall.
The committee appointed at the re-
cent meeting of the county central COM
mittee to arrange for a Bryan celebra-
tion on the same day that banquet
is to be given in honor of Mr.. Bryan in
New York suggested that for various
reasons the plan be abandoned. and
that instead an effort be made to in-
duce Mr.. Bryan to come to Los An
geles later in the fall.
1t was announced that there was
good reason to believe that the pres
ence of Mr.. Bryan could be secured,
and after some discussion the recon-
mendation was adopted.
