ARTISTS DRUG SIX
 YOUNG GIRLS
LYNCHlNG IMMINENT AT MA RlETTE, OHlO-MEN RUSHED TO JAIL BY ENTIRE POLICE FORGE.

Marlette, O., March 3.--A lynching seemed imminent here early this after noon when large crowd of people sur rounded the city jail where Walter w.. Savage of Syracuse, N. Y, and his ac- complice, Andry Coruthers, were impris- oned
 Savage is an advertising sketch artist, and has been here about3 a week occupy ing window in the Dimes Savings SO ciety building. He has made speciality of getting young girls to allow him to make their pictures.
 About 1 o'clock this afternoon he had six young girls between the ages of F and II years of age in his room and gave them whisky, wine and beer, and admin istered some kind of drug. At o'clock this afternoon the police discovered that something was wrong and upon investi- gating found all six of the girls uncon- scious, lying on the floor. The girls and the two men, Savage and Coruthers, hay ing been found in the room, were taken to the city jail. Physicians were sum moned and made an examination or the girls and administered remedies which caused them to vomit and at ! o'clock they had partly regained consciousness. The girls claim that the men forced them to drink.
 The physicians are convinced that two of the girls are the victims of an at tempted assault, and at this time are in doubt as to the others as they have not as yet completely recovered from the ef- fleets of the drug.
 Under guard of the entire police force the men were rushed to the county jail, which is on the fifth floor of the court house building The sheriff and his depu ties assisted bV thp DOlipp. are guarding the two prisoners, and at this time it seems that Q lynching will be averted although the feeling of the popuace is very intense.

 ITO the Editor of the New York Times:

Reason for Conferences.

Today''s conference grew out of a
request to that end made by Mr.. Hey
ward. who with Mr.. Watson, is about
to start for Europe to make an ef-
fort tn secure permanent establish
mcnt of a line Of steamers which the
North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany has been operating to Charles
ton with Il view to turning the tide Of
immiWration southwark. The opinion
of Attorney General Bonaparte rend-
cred last week on the immigration
question, they feared, was calculated
to upset their plans and the former
governor requested that all action in
accordance with the attorney gencr-
5 opinion be held in allegiance un-
til mcctin" could be held. The
president promptly granted the re-
quest for a conference. At the meet
inc today the entire matter was re-
viewed carefully and Mr.. Bonaparte
explained the exact meaning of his
opinion. Mr. Hayward and Mr.. Wat
son explained that the state did not
wish to Il" anythin" not absolutely
LEGAL in Sccurin" immigrants needed
in South Carolina.
Hayward is Pleased.
Former Gov. Hayward said re-
"ar,lin~ the conference:
"Thc construction of the law rs
given by the attorney general today
is absolutely satisfactory to the move
mcnt for immigration to the south. IT
has never been the purpose Of this
movement to bring in contract or
cheap labor. The question Of the
rights and powers Of The states as to
prepayment Of the passages of i'm
migrants will doubtless be set forth
later by the attorney general. 1t
seems certain that the new law will
not deprive the states of any rights
conferred he the former or present
laws. was very much gratified at
the interest shown by the president
and all the officials in our movement
to upbuild the south on practical
lines and felt that they all have a
clearer idea of its economic value to
The entire country.'
Mr.. Hayward. who is prevented
from accompanyin" him by the SER
iouS illness of his wife, will join Mr..
Watson later.
The South Carolinians express the
opinion that it will not be necessary
t" rrs"n1 to The cXpcdicnt Of assisting
immigrants 10 come South 20 the en-
tent of more than three or four ship
loads. After The line to Charleston
IS permanently established there and
the immigration station authorized by
the last congress established, they
say Immigration will drift to Charles
ton Just as naturally as il does 10 the
Northern states and be distributed to
the states further south.
