SCORES GRETNA GREENS
FOR MANY GIRLS RUIN
ELOPEMENTS ARE WHITE SIAv
ERY'S fAVoRITE RECRUIT
ING DEVICE
Many Girls lured Into Runaway
Marriage That They May Be Sold
Into Lives of Shame.

Chicago, March 13-"Summer re-
well advertised as Gretna Greens and
as places where the usual legal and
official formaiities preliminary to re-
spectacle marriage are reduced TO a
minimum are star recruiting stations
for the white slave traffic." is the
declaration made by Mrs. Ophelia l..
Amigh, superintendent of the Illinois
State Training School for Girls. who
speaks with the authority of one who
for years has dealt with the effects
of white slavery, in fact has sent
twelve white slavers to prison. In
an article written for the Woman's
World of Chicago in its campaign
for suppression of the traffic in
daughters of American homes, Mrs.
Amigh denOunces the gretna greens
and runaway marriages, giving, from
her experience, startling explana-
ton. Il earnestly urge all mothers
never to allow a daughter to go to
one of these places on an excursion,
or under any pretext whatever, I'M
less accompanied by some older
member of the family" she says,
and even then there is something
unwholesome and communicating in
the very atmosphere of such a place.
DO you think that ! overstate the
perils of places of this kind? OF
these gay excursion centers, these
American Gretna Greens? / hesitate
to say how many girls | have had
under my care who were enticed
into a runaway marriage at these
places-and then promptly sold into
white slavery by the men whom they
had married, the men who married
them for no other purpose than to
sell them to the houses of the red
light district and live in luxury from
the proceeds Of their shame
Let every mother teach her
daughter that the man who proposes
an elopement, a runaway marriage, is
not to be trusted for an instant and
puts himself under suspicion of being
that most loathsome o. all things in
human form-a white slave trader
Mrs. Amigh mentions some of the
innumerable cases which come under
her personal observation where the
startling fact was made plain that
trains to Chicago and other cities and
the city stations are worked as
for the girl victims for
white slavery as they are for the bus
and transfer companies.

with what seems to be a definite
understanding that if he signed the
bill Mr. Windsor must be appointed
or the council would refuse to ratify
the bill. 1t was this high-handed
sort Of law-making that reused the
Indignation of the Woman's club, the
members Of which feel that the ae-
ton is arbitrary and unfair in the
extreme.
1t so happens that the women Of
Arizona, as represented by the Ari-
iona Federation Of Woman's clubs
and the local clubs have been awake
to the need Of adequate historical
work and the preservation of objects
of historical interest for a decade
past, and with the assistance and CO.
operation Of clubs and Federation,
nearly the whole field of early Ari-
iona history has been covered in the
most pains-taking manner and with
out expense to the territory. This
material is almost ready for mould
ing into shape for publication and II
has been gathered and prepared with
the intention of producing a thor
oughly accurate and reliable history,
as well as a work Of attractive liter
airy quality and permanent scholarly
worth.
NO appropriation or public assis-
lance has ever been asked for in
any part of this work, but the club
women who have followed its growth
with closest interest feel that if the
historical needs of Arizona are 10 re-
ceive recognition at last some at
tention should be given to the re-
search already made: and especially
that sufficient consideration should
be given to selecting the official
writer of Arizonas history"

Hateful SINNER FOR MERMAID
Romantic story of Famous Hope Dia-
mOnd Reported Lost in
China Sea.

From Singapore in the orient comes the
story that the fateful Hope diamond has
found it's ultimate resting place at the
bottom of the China sea. Partisan jour.
nalists substantiate the story with details
concerning the last possessor Of the stone,
Selim Habid, a Turkish collector who was
lost with the French mail steamship
Seyne when it went down on Malacca
strait.
The one thing certain in the long tradi-
lions of the mighty gem, says the New
York Evening sun, is hat no one has ever
denied that IT eXerted a malign influence
on the fortunes Of it's owner. Since the
time when its meteoric blaze first dazzled
Christendom It has belonged to Louis
XIV, whose power waned abruptly, and to
Louis XVI, whose head was chopped off.
The mysterious Jewel passed out of sight
for half a century, and no one knows what
a trail of blood and disaster may nave
marked it's course until II reappeared In
the hands of the Hope family in 1880.
Henry Thomas Hope, a London banker,
acquired the great blue diamond from a
dealer who had purchased. II from a
stranger. Nothing more could be learned
Of its late history. The duke Of Newcastle
married Hopes daughter, and their son,
Lolu t1enIy FRANCIS rope lnnerlled II.
After his marriage to May Yohe the dia-
mond was seen on the stage. The mar
riage proved unhappy, and when Lord
Hope had obtained a divorce he disposed
Of the baneful gem to Simon Frankel, the
New York jeweler.
A report that Frankel Brothers were in
financial difficulties gained currency
early in 1908. Soon after it was apparent
that their fortunes were retrieved, and it
was said that they had let the Hope dia-
mond pass to Selim Habid, a wealthy
Turkish merchant. Selim Habid was I'M
derstood TO be an agent for the sultan.
Abdul Hamid, whose throne tottered and
fell within a twelvemonth. Now comes
word that the great blue stone has re-
turned to the east forever.
selim Hsbid paid S4OO,O 900 for the dia-
mond at the Frankel sale. The stone is OF
a beautiful sapphire-blue color and in its
last form weighed 44% carats. II had
sixty-four facets and is Of the form
known as "cushion shaped" Despite its
color 1t had all the sparkle OF the white
diamond. This combination OF luster and
rare color is what gave II It's immense
value.
Hope paid about $4,000 for Il. When
brought from India for Louis XIV its
weight was l12 s-16 carats. It was first
cut to STA carats, and after its disap-
p~earance it was recut TO its present size.
The diamond was stolen with other Jew
els OF the French crown.
The only circumstance tnat casts doubt
on the report that the great blue diamond
has found its final resting place and will
no longer bring dissensiols and bloodshed
among the sons OF men is the statement
that Selim Habid disposed Of Il to an un-
known purchaser az a sale In June last.
The stone which he sold at that time as
the Hope he parted with for $50. 200

Packers Are Busy on Breaks.

lLlNeSlOCk w OTlu.
Ever and anon packers effect a
break in hog values. but as often as
they do they check the movement. On
such declines the market invariably
develops activity Buyers for the big
houses will lie around several days
picking up few hogs here and there
to tide them over, but the minute a
l0d15 cent decline is effected they
become as busy as bees and it is on
such sessions that a clearance is eff
fected. A heavy stale stock constant
ly does not mean that hogs can not
be sold, as country shippers have a
fashion of wiring their selling agents
to lock up the stuff unless they are
able to realize a stated price or bet
ter. These stop orders have held hum
dreds of hogs under lock and key sew
eral days in succession recently. The
country is fighting declines as hard
as killers are resisting advances and
the grower has the satisfaction of
knowing that when a killer can put up
a drove of hogs 10 cents lower than on
the previous session ne spends his
money without stint. Hogs are now
only about 81 per cWt higher than a
year ago, the recent wide difference
having been cut in two, but supply is
so much lighter than at that time and
stocks so attenuated that last years
prices are impossible.

BIG YIELD OF CROPS.
Total Value of Farm Products In 1904
to Pass $4,000, ooo, 900 Mark.

to Pass $S,Oo0,0O0,OOO Mark.
Basing their opinion on the govern.
ment crop report for July, Wall street
experts in New York recently declared
that the total value Of farm products
Of 1909. for the first time in the Unit
ed States, will pass the $4,000. 600 900
mark.
The government report has been
awaited with great interest in Wall
street. not only because Of the impor-
tant influence the harvest will have
on the general business revival, but
from the fact 1t is the earliest report
which can be regarded as fair fore
cast of the ultimate yield.
The conditions shown in the report
indicate satisfactory conditions Of all
crops. Even winter wheat, which had
in an earlier report shown serious de-
terioration. showed an Improvement
Of over per cent at the time Of har-
vest and turned out to be substantial
ly better than the corresponding crops
Of 1908 and 1907.
The corn crop WILL be the largest In
the history of the United States, while
the average Of other crops shows the
total yield of grain in the United
States in 1909 will be abundant. The
averages point to total wheat crop
Of 663, 100000 bushels and corn crop
Of 800, 100000 bushels as compared
with 2.66S. 651 600 in 1908. The corn
crop is the greatest money producer.
Wheat comes next.
The prices of grains are abnormaily

DON CARLOS is DEAD.
Pretender to Throne of Spain Expires
al AL

Pretender to Throne Of Spain Expires
Suddenly in Italy.
Rome, July 19.-Don Carlos of Bour-
bon, the pretender to the Spanish
throne, died Sunday at Varese. in Lon-
hardy. He had been i'll for a long tim.
and the latest reports indicated that he
was suffering from apoplexy, with the
accompanying paralysis.
Don Carlos. Duke Of Madrid. who
claimed under the Salic law of success
sion established by Philip V. to be the
legitimate king Of Spain by the title of
Charles VII, was born at Laybach,
Austria, March 30, 1S4S. His father. Don
Juan, was the brother. of Don Carlos,
who claimed the crown under the title
claims the Carlist risings of 1913, 1855
and 1850 We're organized. He was
known as Count de Montemolin
The Sale law was said aside in 1884
by Ferdinand VII in favor of his in
FAINT daughter, Isabella. Had the cid
law stood Ferdnand's brother Carlos
would have succeeded to the throne
The present king is descended from
Isabella.
AS Charles VI died in 1851 without
children. his rights devolved upon his
brother. Don Juan. who had married
the Archduchess Teresa of Austria
Their son. Don Carlos, married on Feb
4. 1867. Margaret de Bourbon.
In October, 1868, Don Juan abdicated
in favor of his son. whose standard was
raised in the north of Spain in 1872 by
some of his partisans. Don Carlos him
self. after addressing a proclamation tc
the inhabitants of Catalonia. Aragon
and Valencit, calling upon them to take
up arms in his cause, made his entry
into Spain July Is, 1879. announcing that
he came for the purpose of saving the
country. Then followed the -four Yeas
war" which ended in January, 1876
when Tolaso, the last stronghold of the
Carlists, fell and its defenders sought
refuge on French territory. In the
meantime the republic came to an enc
and the eldest son of ex-Queen Isabella
returned to Spain as Alfonso XII.
Alfonso XII. died in 1885, and tn

tween Marie Christina of Austria, thu
widow Of the late king, and Don Car
los. The post-humous birth Of tn,
present king in 1885, however, kindlct
in the nation a feeling of loyalty which
has continued to exist up to the present
time.
| Within recent years there has beef
a recurrence of the Carlist agitation il
Catalonia and other districts which
was attributed to the influence of Dol
jaime, the only son of Don Carlos, bu
these movements have proved to be OF
little Importance.
