NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

There seems to be some basis for the
inquiry propounded by The United
States Tobacco. j Journal Are we be-
coming cigarette nation?' The sta
tistics for the first three months of the
preseut year show that the output of
cigarettes in that period exceeded by
more than $4,000, 900 the output of
cigars. The figures are respectively
/, 856, 1863, ,228 and 1877, ,322,8 81. In the
month of March alone there was de-
crease of more than 100000 full-sized
cigars throughout the United States
and an increase of more than 109, ,0O0,-
900 in cigarettes. It is unexplained
whether this condition is a result of the
high prices of food, compelling the ci-
gar smoker to take to cigarettes, or is
burning protest against the legisla-
ton in many states against the paper
rolls. In any event, our industrial
growth along this particular line is not
matter for pride or satisfaction.

 Majors, a scrub and class player of last season, is at guard. Majors laures have already been won by his kicking.
 Lamb and Harman are at tackles. Lamb was with the '0S squad, but was out of college last year. He is power ful player.
 Several lighter scrubs are showing up as formidable contestants for places on the first squad. Cruse, a tackle, has been one of the most aggressive during the last week.
 Maxim, at the other tackle, is another man who has been a big factor in the consistent smashing of varsity plays, as has Melton and Ressijac. Other scrubs, light but aggressive. whose work has elicited attention of the side line college boy critics are Harris, Ellis, Hart and Chamblin. -
 Coach McCrohan, the former Princeton tackle, in collaboration with Gaum, an Auburn instructor and former football player, has in hand the second squad and varsity substitutes. Different sys- tems are adopted by the second and first teams and the practical effect of con tests between strange teams is secured each afternoon.

 Judge Kavanaugh makes 1t clear in his letter to MT. Joseph, moreover, that If the penalty is not paid by Monday he will declare the Montgomery fran chise and its players forfeited and that he will probably call a special meeting of the directors of the league to sus- tain his action. MT. Joseph insists that the fine will never be paid and he ex- presses himself as equally confident that the franchise will remain with Mont gomery for many years to come.

SLAVERY VICTIM?
Rose Davis Tells a Startling
Story Involving A. B. Fryer
and Others.
PLACED IN RESORT HERE
Arrest May Unearth System of Pam
dering by Organized Gang in
the Tri-CitieS.

Through the startling statements
made yesterday at Davenport by Miss
Rose Davis, who gives her home as
Rock Island, and who stated to
County Attorney Fred Vollmer and
Assistant County Attorney Frank
Cooper that she had been made the
victim of the Vaccinations of a gang
of white slave traders and placed in
a house of prostitution in Rock Is
land last August, the revelation of
what is thought to be an organized
system of white slave traffic is
brought to light.
At the instigation of the young
woman, the arrest of A. 8. Fryer of
Rock Island, on the charge of assault
and battery was made by the Daven
port police and he was later released
on posting bonds. The young wo-
man, in making her serious accusa-
tions against others, charged them
with having inveigled her into
house of i'll repute last August and
later of having attempted to take her
to Chicago for similar purposes.
other Arrests May Follow.
The arrest of the accused man, ac-
cording to the story told by Miss
Davis, will bring to light a systemized
chain of slave traffic that threatens
to equal any that has ever been dis
covered in cities where such illegal
operations are known to exist. Ac-
companying Miss Davis to the Office
of the county attorney was David
Brady, who substantiated Miss Da-
Wis statements in each detail. 1t
is thought that as soon as further
developments can be brought up that
other arrests will follow.
In citing the wrong which had
been done her, Miss Davis told a
tragic story. She said that she had
first been made the unsuspecting vic
tim of the wiles of the man who plac-
ed her there and after having been
given a diamond ring to the value of
about $50, she was induced to enter
the house. This was on Aug. 81 of
last year. Since that time she has
been there most Of the time, but an
effort was made to take her to Chi
cago5 but which failed.
Diamond Later Stolen
She further alleges in her tale of
wrong, that one evening about 10
days ago, while out riding with a
Davenport young man, who it is stat
ed, is employed in that city as a
shipping clerk, that Fryer, espying |
her and her friend in a sleigh, ran
out and jumping on the back of the |
cutter, took from his pocket a heavy |
slug with which he knocked the girls /
companion unconscious and later |
grabbing her, took the diamond ring |
from her. This she alleges caused |
her to reveal the condition of affairs |
in which she had been living. The |
arrest of Fryer came after several |
days search, the news of his pres
ence in Davenport being teiephoned |
to County Attorney Vollmer, who i'm
ordered Fryer arrested.
The girls attitude in the matter
Is a complex one, as on one occasion
she admitted to Messrs. Vollmer and
Cooper that she had been party to
