irish GIRLS
~. z
Are Sold for $45 Each by
Montreal immigration !.
Agency ::

Belleville, Ont, March 3.-Conclu-
sive evidence that hundreds OF young
Irish girls are yearly brought to 1ais
country by an immigration agency in
Montreal and sold into slavery, was
revealed yesterday by investigators
working in an effort to clear up the
mystery concerning Ella. Gingles, the
Irish lacemaker, who was found bound
and gagged, her body slashed with
knife wounds in the Wellington hotel
in Chicago.
1t developed during the Investigation
that the Gingles girl herself. with
two hundred other Irish lasses, was
induced to leave her home near Bel
fast, Ireland, bv promises of lucrative
employment in America. Arriving
here, the girls were forced to work
for pittance under a peonage sys-
tenn, held as slaves, as few of them
have been able to reimburse the COM
pany. The immigrant agency ped
died them out to employers for $45
each, which it is asserted, was the
amount of their passage money. .
Evidence was obtained also tend
ing to prove numerous points in the
girls story, which had been discred-
tied by the police and federal author
tiles. I.
It developed that the amyythist neck
lace and lace, said by Miss Agnes
Barrett to have been stolen from he--.>
were in the girls possession before
she left Beneville to 60 to Chicago,
and belonged to her. Mrs. David S..
Thornton, 1913 Bridge treet, said she
had written the letter of recommends,
ton found among he girls belong
ings, which Postofice Inspector Stu,
art pronounced a forgery. Y
The Gfngles girl, the investigators
discovered, was brought from Ireland.
by the immigration agency fourteen
months ago. David S. Thornton ac-
knowledged that he had paid $45 for
the girl, and had her taken to his
home to serve as maid. She was
requested to work for nothing until
he had been reimbursed for the mon
ey advanced.
Che worked five months under this
system, and for the remaining three.
months she was with the family she
received $42, which was placed by;
her in the Bank of Montreal. !

ONLY GIRL
In World in Charge Of Wire
less Station Has an
Experience

New York, N. Y, March 3.-To be
a girl, wireless telegrapher, and in
love, are three distinctions that belong
to little Miss Anna Nevins, wireless
operator at the Waldorf-Astoria no.
tel and the only professional woman
wireless operator in the world. Away
up in the airy perch where she has
her office, on the roof of the Waldorf
Astoria, Miss Anna tolls all day, hand
lingall the commercial business of the
busiest station in the entire service
Of the United Wireless Telegraph
company.
Naturally this girl of % is entrusted
with some of the most important and
interesting work. When seen while
she was on duty Miss Nevins was
willing to talk about it.
II am just perfectly crazy about
it," she said. 1T is so interesting,
and meet with so many experiences
that are amusing and otherwise.
The work isn't hard and work
only in the daytime. 1t is a distinction
to be the only woman wireless opera
tor in the. world and am pleased
about it,
. When the reporter remarked that
he had heard that there was another
wireless operator deeply interested
in Miss Nevins, she said: "'>
~ guess that's all talk-and-well,"
she finally acknowledged, there is a
young mana very, very nice young
man, and just terribly clever-and-
there another blush)-he and I are
interested in each others work, and
well-in ourselves lot, too. But he
went away yesterday-(with a sigh
and he won't be back for thirty
days. He's on duty on one Of the
Hamberg American lines southern
cruises, and yesterday he sailed on
the ,Oceana, 1t goes to the West In
dies and South America. Just the
same, I can get him by wireless or
he can get me for a good part of the
time, so itreally isn't so bad"

Takes 1906 Volts Without
fIhlc / Some
l. Strange Stunts

New York, N. y. March AT a
private exhibition Yesterday in a small
room at 1916 Broadway, Charles Quill
a man Of % years, allowed himself tc
be strapped into an electrical chair
similar to the one in Sing Sing pris-
on, and direct current of electricity
drawn from a nearby feed wire. was
turned into his, body to the amount
of 1900 volts. 49,.
This is 100 more volts than are used
in executions at the prison. +. Quill
seemed to enjoy it. He endured this
huge voltage for FULL minute. Dur
ing that time, his assistant touched
various pars of his body with an al
cohol soakedd handkerchief which i'm.
mediately burst into flame.
Quill asserts that electricity will
not kill unless 1t. burns and he, ex-
plains his immunity by the fact that
his body contains an unusual amount
Of carbon. '~'- W.
Yesterday he played with electric
uy as though it. were the most harm
less thing in the world. With 1900 volts
sizzling into one hand he would light
a,5candle, or set aglow an incandes-
ent light with the other. He applied
a piece of carbon, held between his
teeth to similar piece attached O
another wire and supplied a perfect
arc light. He drew forth current Of
such intensity with one finger that he
lighted a cigarette from the heat.

lnventS Devices Which viii
Make Newspaper Pub.
fishing Easy

Chicago, March 1.-TWO devices that
may revolutionize the production OF
newspapers are shown at Chicago's
annual business show at the Coliseum.
One of the devices IS Ddison's new
universal motor used in connection
with the business photograph. This
motor has just been perfected by the
great inventor, and will operate on
either the direct or alternating current
and on any voltage. 1t is a marvel
and a wonder to engineers, and as the
business phonograph is Mr.. Edlson's
device he has reserved its use for
this machine.
Another inventor has perfected a
matrix paper scheme to be used in
connection. with, the typewriter and
which provided for all sorts of changes
Of type, faces, so that with the gen.
eral adoption of these two advanced
ideas a reporter or writer will die
tate from, this. Thus the linotype
operator and the printer will be elm
mated and it will be possible to pro-
duce newspapers in much less time
than it now requires. i + : Il

SUN MOTOR
Boston Man Harnesses Sun
and Gets Cheap Elec'
triCity Plant

Boston, Mass, March. 3.-That he
has successfully solved the problem OF
storing up the suns rays and convert
ing them into electrical energy, is the
claim made by George S. Cove, and
he demonstrates the success of his
invention by lighting his workshop
at @4S6 Somerville avenue with cleo
tricity generated from simple ap
paratus on the roof.
Nm electric wires of any sort en-
ter his buildings from outside lighting
sources, yet the incandescent globes
twinkle merrily day and night and
electricians from the institute of tech
nology who have watched his expert
ments with interest, have declared
themselves enthusiastic over the sue
cess.
Sbve says his machines, which can
be built at cost of 500 each, when
incased in glass, will last for ten
years without repair or alteration.
:
Coye's invention consists of a frame
work to be placed in an opening
where it will receive the direct rays
of the sun. Short plugs of metal
composition are set into this frame.
The framework is of thin steel divided
into squares, each one foot square,
containing sixteen plugs. The plugs
project from the cement in which
they are set and come incontact with
thick glass which the sun strikes.
In the whole frame there are 976
plugs, Filled in around these plugs
is q body of heat absorbing material.
The plugs. arc about an inch apart,
and are connected in series by strip
of metal.
The difference Of temperature of the
two ends of the metal plugs, one be-
ing u the sun, the other in the open
with circulation Of air around 1t,
generates the current Of electricity.

organized, while it adjoins the Tintic
Standard territory on the east.
X. A. Barney, president Of the com
pany, stated Thursday morning that
this organization was in good shape for
energetic development, and work was
now well under way. The shaft has
been driven to a depth Of sixty feet,
and 1t is figured that the ovcrlying
porphyry zone in which the shaft now
stands will give way at any shift to
the typical eastern Tintic limestone in
which the resources are expectSd to
make. There are portions Of this pop
crty at which the lime outcrops, but
for convenience sake the shaft was
started in the porphyry. The company
intends TO maintain a steady season of

COLUMBUS MINE NOW
IS CH0KEO WITH ORE
Company Trying to Increase
Number of Teams Hauling
Resources Down.

The officials of the Columbus ConsoIi'
country for ore teams. so great is
the pressure TO relieve the property OF
its accumulated shipping grades of
rock. General Manager Tony Jacobson
spent the past two days al the mine,
and on Thursday he stated he had
promises OF four teams. which would
bring the available number up TO
thlrty.scvon. but he had work for forty
teams continuously, and is in hopes OF
securing that number within the next
week or ten DAYS.
Every available space ~ Alta is
filled with Columbus Consolidated ores
which ought TO be brought TO tho local
market. Development work on the
new west orc shoot on the I00-foot
level is being retarded because all the
'chutes aud bins arc overlooking with
rich rock. SO even this happy state
of affairs has its responsibilities, but
they are responsibilities willingly as
sumed by those in charge of the COM
pany's affairs. Nh jacobson says that
two men per shift can break down more
of this ore than the present number of
teams can handle.
When asked regarding the develop.
meuts on the fourth level east of the
shaft. he SAYS that there has been no
decided change In the past few days.
The management still keeps breaking
down lunches Of silver and copper ore
of fine grade. but no permanent body
is expected until the drift has gained
the contact. Work on the No. assure,
close to the mouth Of the main tunnel,
is getting into shape. and this drift is
making for the contact also. at the
present time presenting face of
milling ore.
Things are looking bright at tho
South Columbus. also. The company is
sinking IN ore from the lower tunnel
level. The winze is down sixty feet,
aud 1t is the plan TO drift both ways
on the orc body when the l00-foot level
is reached. Mr.. Jacobson SAYS that
this will make into one of the most
generous resources of the South
Columbus. This company will be a good
shipper of ore during the summer
months.
