with benches on which wealthy mer-
chants and dealers sit and make their
bids when the human auction begins
Auctioneers, known as dilals, take
their places in the center of the in
closdre, aud the proceedings are OPP
ened with prayer to Allah to give
buyers and sellers prosperous trans
actions and length of life.
When the prayer is ended each auc-
tioneer hurries to the particular pen
along the wall where the slaves he is
to sell are herded. He marshals his
slaves into line and walks them
around. When a buyer sees any slave
he wants, re points her out and the
dlckering begins. Slaves in Moroc-
co, being from $40 to 500 apiece,
shrewd Turkish dealers frequently
visit the market to secure bargains,
which they ship by way of Bagdad to
Constantinople, sure that they can
double their money here.
European residents familiar with
Mahomedan life have long known of
the secret traffic in slaves. but less
and less concealment is now practic-
ed and the African atrocities neces-
sary to keep up the supply increase
in number and horror.

part of Pennsylvania officials and

heavy wagons Numbered through the
streets at breakneck speed, mothers
screamed and ran in search of chill

 NEEDS MONEY
Members Now Pay for Privilege of
 Protecting Property of Others.

ne NOBdlcS PiIc DcPdiIHhchC was freely discussed at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Board of Trade Tuesday nig.at. The subject was brought up by MT. J. F. Brady, who attended the meeting as representative of the firemen. MT. Brady informed the board that the departmen: has been recently re-organized and is now more efficient than heretofore. He stated that as the members of the department give their services free to the town. and as a majority of them are young men who own no property, they believe the people of the town should furnish the money to meet the necessary X b n of maintaining the organization.
 Mir. Curtis, who besides being vice. e-president of the Board f Trade is also chief of the Fire Department, also spoke on the same subject. He stated that the expenses of the organization are very light, ,'but light as they are he thinks it unjust that the members most of whom have no property interest in the town, and all ot whom serve the town without pay, should be expected to pay out of their own pockets the expenses at tendant upon the work they do for ! the protection of all. All the directors present appeared to be of the same. opinion, and as result of the discussion, the following res olution, submitted by Mir. Clag- gett. was unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, The Nogales Fire Department has been recently re- organized and is now more efficient than heretofore, and better fitted for fighting fire and protecting the property of the town; and
 WHEREAS, The organization has heretofore been supported for the most part by monthly payments made by the members, therefore bt 1t
 RESOLVED, That the Board O Directors of the Nogales and Santa Cruz County Board of Trade urge the business men, property owner and citizens of Nogales to provide by subscription or otherwise func for the payment of the necessary expenses of the organization.
 A letter, which also had bearing upon the subject of fire protection was read to the Board. The let ter was written by Mir. Alexander Field, manager of the Board O Fire Underwriters of the Pacific, t, Mayor John T. Brickwood, who submitted it to the Board as d mat ter of public interest. In the let ter Mir. Field stated that in view of the pending settlement of the controversy between the Nogales Water Company and the Nogale' Town Council, the Board of Under writers will for the present take n' action affecting the fire insurance on property in Nogales.

RAPKO CASE
CROWS WEAK
Examination of Konfal To
morrow May Result in
His Discharge.
WIFE PERFORMS BADLY
Said to Have Made Charges Against
Her Brother Because of His
Opposition to Suitor.

The charge OF murder against Steve
Konfal of S444 Superior avenue, South
Chicago, who has been held at the
county Jail without bail on a continu-
ance taken by the South Chicago po-
lice, pending the elimination Of the
body of Joseph Rapko. Konfars alleged
victim, and investigation of the cir
cumstances by the coroner's Office, will
come up tomorrow before Judge Good
now, who will sit as examining mag
istrate.
Detective Skiba, who has been work
ing en- the case, visited the states at
torney's office yesterday and arranged
TO present what evidence is in the
hands of the police TO the grand Jury
should Konfal be held to the criminal
court. The police side OF the case COW
ering the facts OF the assault on Rap
ko by Konfal and Rapko's subsequent
death will be shown by three wit
nesses, including Mrs. Susanna Rapko,
widow of the dead man. and Pete
Hlwaco, whose attentions to Mrs. Rap
ko are alleged to have complicated the
case.
Coroner Holds Evidence.

following its disinterment from the St.

mond is in the coroners office and
Will be presented to the grand Jury
in case it is wanted by that official
Since the disagreement of the coroner's
jury sitting on the case Wednesday at
West Hammond, interest in the case
has been on the wane, and it is hard
ly believed that a conviction of Konfal
can be had even IL he is indicted by
the grand jury. The whole case now
rests upon the proof that Konfal as
saulted Rapko with sufficient violence
on Sept "a last to cause his death on
Oct. l.
Widows Conduct Criticized.
Friends OF Konfal are indulging in a
little talking now that part OF the ex-
citement has blown ever, and they
make a strong point OF the fact that
DR.. Lenard who attended Rapko dur
ing his illness. certified to the grand
OF health that the mans death was
due TO liver complaint. They also allege
that Mrs. Rapko's charges against Kon-
fal, who is her brother, grew out OF
Kcnfars interference in her love af-
fair with Pete Hlwaco, the star board
er, and the delay in making the charges
is evidence of their weakness.
Boarders in Mrs. Rapko's home, who
were witnesses to the quarrel between
Konfal and Rapko on Sept. "a, and
who have observed the progress of the
affair between Mrs. Rapko and Hlwa-
co, have stated to disinterested parties
that the assault was net OF the ag.
gravated character that it is alleged tc
have been, and that Mrs. Rapko's state
ments against her brother we're coloret
