urday, succeeding Col. Everard E.
Newcomb Of PASSPORT, who held for
the position for II years and who has
rounded out over 80 years of COM
endable service in the National Guard
of the State. Col. Hume has been
identified with the Guard for IS years
or since 1894 when he became the cap
tain of Company l. of Houlton. Dur
ing the Spanish War he commanded
one of the battalions of heavy artil-
lery from Maine which made up part
of the army OF occupation of the island
of Cuba.
The Second Regiment was never in
better condition." said Col. Hume in
the Office of the adiutant general. And
I am looking forward with great
deal of pleasant anticipation to the
tour Of duty which the regiment will
take next month. The regiment will
leave Portland on Sunday morning,
Aug. Il. and will arrive at the rem
devious of the troops at Pine Camp.
in the northern part of New York
state. the following Monday morning
between 6 and I o'clock. Pine Camp
is government reservation and be-
sides the 5000 regulars who will be en-
camped there organizations of. the Ma
tional Guard from Vermont. Massa-
chusotts and Rhode Island will be in
attendance.
THE tour of duty at Pine Camp will
be of great value to the members of
the regiment in getting the actual
work of the field service" continued
Col Hume. During the first part of
the enCampment work will be done in
battalion and regimental drill and in
extended order. but as the men become
hardened practical demonstrations will
be given. Seven hundred men will go
from this State and they will travel
sleeping cars. which is quite an inno-
walton. The regiment participated IN
the mareuvers at Manassas. Va, IN
1904 and in the Portland artillery dis
trict in 1907 The men will do no
shooting on this trip as it is believed
that the field work will be more bene-
fetal to them

no intimation in the article recently given
to the press that he desired to enlarge
the duties of his department to that eN-

such a desirable class however, and the
desire to work in Maine is so plainly
stated. that he is devoting a portion of
his evenings to solving the house-siri

600 intelligent girls in its homes and on lts
farms was sent to SEQ newspapers

are from several states and embrace all

are middle aged women who express the
hope that they may still be included III
the girl class in consideration of their
wider experience and general desirabilty

Gassaway Hotel Manager
Says Story of Cincinnati
Girls is Untrue.
MOTIVE IS REVENGE
Narrowing Tale Tod by Girls
Who Were Discharged is
Without Foundation.

ELKINs. Aug. 6-The Randolph
Enterprise completely exposes a SEN
sational story about white slavery
published by the Cincinnati Post re-
Gently and reproduced here about.
The Enterprise says:
Charging that the story told by
Louise Lutz and Helen Osborne, OF
Garfield place, Cincinnati, o., which
appeared in the Cincinnati papers
Tuesday was cooked up by these
girls for the purpose of revenge be-
cause they were dismisses as
dining room girls at the Hotel
Gassaway OF this city, Henry s. An
await, manager of that hosiery.
this afternoon Indignantly denied
the allegations of the Lutz and os-
borne girls that they had been un-
der duress while here or that they
were brought here for life of white
slavery, a statement reinforced by
what the King girl, who was mem
toned by the Lutz and Osborne girls
as still being held virtually as a
prisoner, has to say.
The conduct of the two girls was
so brazen wherever they went that
they We're requested to leave several
places which they visited after being
dismissed from the hotel, and they
succeeded in making themselves
generally obnoxious by their display
Of vulgarity.
They violated the rules of the
hotel and were finally dismissed by
the head waitress, Margaret Bow
den. last Friday morning for precipi-
tating row in the dining room and
disturbing the guests at breakfast.
Henry S. Anawalt gave his version
of the trouble with the Lutz and
Osborne girls when seen at the
Gassaway Wednesday afternoon:
Gan the employees of the hotel.
and especially the dining room girls,
are expected to be in their rooms by
II o'clock p. M, but in making my
rounds of the hotel last Thursday
night, as is my habit, found that
Louise Lutz and Helen Osborne were
not in and did not come in until
about 1890. They were laughing
rather hilarlously and i think they
were about hal; intoxicated. One OF
the girls, the Lutz girl. was heard to
say that they had been at fiat oc-
cupied by. two friends.
THE following morning before /
was out of bed the day clerk tele-
phoned my room to tell me to como
down as there had been row in the
dining room. 1 Investigated and
learned that the head waitress had
dismissed the Lutz girl for disturb
ing the guests, by telling another
girl TO take the table and go to
the devil with it. AS the head wait
ress has entire control OF the girls
under her charge the incident was
closed so far as was concerned
but on going out into the office I
saw the Lutz and Osborne girls
standing on the front steps Of tho
hotel joking with the people that
passed and attracting unenvlable at
tention to themselves.
Later they came to me and asked
to go back to work, but l told them
that the word of the head waitress
was final. When / refused to re-
verse the decision of the head wait
ress they abused both her and my
self.
"That was Friday. and during the
rest of the day they were out on the

in this city. nor had ever seen Mr..
Anawalt before we left Cincinnati
to come here. so that those girls say
/ what they know to be untrue when
they declare that had been in the
power of the manager of the hotel
for two years.
AT no time have l been under re-
straint or subject to the humiliation
of white slavery, nor did / ever ex-
press desire to leave here in COM
pany with the girls.
"on our way to Elkins the Lutz
girl became very much intoxicated
and was so sick that she could not
hold her head up.
While they were in EIkins and
even while they were In the employ
ment OF the hotel their conduct was
SO repulsive that 1t Is no wonder
they were dismissed.
"All 1 know about these girls is
what they told me and they vol
unteered the information that be-
Efore leaving Cincinnati, they were
being supported by two bartenders
in Cincinnati, who gave them about

the arrangements treatment of me

girls have Jared just as well as
have,

that was pulled away from the
window the last time the two girls
saw me is deliberate falsehood.
Others were standing near the win
dow watching these girls and laugh
ling at the ridiculous figures they
were making of themselves as pub
lie characters.
There must lie some mistake
about a man having tried to gain
access to our room. as know of no
such occurrence.
81 heard these girls make the
boast before they left that they
would pay Mr.. AnawaTt back by sep
arating him and Mrs. Anawalt."
OF the accusations made by the o.
borne and Lutz girls Mayor j. n.
Kochenderfer says: Taking into
consideration the irresponsible char
acter of the girls. l did not give
ANY credence and 1 do not now -
lthe charges made by the girls which
were inspired by the grievance they
had against the management of the
Gassaway hotel for dismissing them,
and an investigation convlnces me
that there is no foundation for the
stories they have circulated of white
slavery. Spite work would seem to
have furnished the motive for the
public charges they have made.
They Threatened just before they
left for Cincinnati to get even with
the management by trumping up a
charge against their late employer.
These girls have imputed to me the
remark that the Gassaway had q
bad name when as a matter of fact
no such statement was ever made by
me. The only part of their state
ment that is true is that at my in
stance they were furnished SIS each
for transportation by the trustee of
the hotel. although the trustee was
under no obligation to furnish this
transportation
No credence is given in any quar-
ter to the assertion made by the
girls of being forced into a life OF
white slavery as these girls were
hardened characters If their general
demeanor is to be taken as any cri-
terion of what they were.
