the amateur photographer. What
will happen if I don't pay for
them?"
The clerk replied firmly that in
such a case 1t would be necessary
for the store TO keep the films
and the prints.
In the manner of one who Is

The poisoning of the public mind is
like the poisoning of an individual. We
must recognize the poison. II it is the
business of the press to give publicity to
the views of this woman about marriage,
and the home, and permit her to make light
of the most sacred things in life, it is at
least refreshing to know that something
is to be done to furnish an antidote.
The publicity given to the silly CAB
Of this creature is an Indictment of the
good taste of the American people. The
woman is a silly fool going through but
terfly existence that will be, as it ought
to be, consumed by the fire that attracts it.
But there isn't any question that her
influence is vile-bad. Her gab and gos-
sip Is taken seriously by many young
women. Enough of them are going to hell
as 1t is through just such rot.
Theatrical managers who thus COM
mercialize the vanity, 1oudness and vul-
garities of bad woman, ought to be tar
red, feathered and drummed out of town.
What I would like to say about the people
who attend her exhibitions would not be

The next day the neighbors were
saying that Mrs. zimmerman was
witch and could make fire flash
from her fingers. (This was the
electric flashlight she carried at
night to help her nearsighted
eyes.)
That day, little Winnie Kipp

note on her bureau ordering her
to leave the house. She could not
afford to until the week she had
paid for was up.
Next day she was hooted on the
streets. At dusk she returned to
find her trunk on the porch. She
pounded on the door because she
wanted the trunk key that was in
her room.
The Kipps called the police.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept. a.
The cruel old days of Salem witch
craft were revived here when
Mrs. Meta zimmerman, "a poor
seamstress from New York, was
put in jail, then driven out OF
town. She might have met the
fate of the Salem witches IL she
had not left hurriedly. She left
so quietly, in fact, that many OF
the hard-headed superstitious
people of Allentown are ready to
swear she rode away on a broom
stick.
This is the year 1911 and this
is city of steel mills, trolley cars
and telephones, and yet in the
week she was here. Mrs. INNER
man was insulted and Knocked,
her baggage was thrown out of
her lodgings, she was stoned, ar
rested and jailed.
Mrs. zimmerman came to Allen
town to take the Kneipp barefoot
treatment in the hope of restor-
ing her eyes, almost destroyed by
overwork. She took the treat
ment under John Kloss, who lives
in a hut near town.
The Y. w. G. A. sent her to the
home of George Kipp, Dutch
butcher at 207 8. 18th street. In
the house were also John .Sobers
and his young wife.
Mrs. zimmerman was tall and
hair just shade off red
and her faded gray eyes squinted
through very thick glasses.
On the fourth day, John Sobers
came home suffering from indi-
gestion. He consulted Charles

ALLEGED scRIMINATioN
BY STEAMSHIP COMPANIES
Agents Of United States Investigating
Charges of Merchants.

New York. Sept Agents of the
United States government here and
abroad are investiga ting charges
brought by American merchants. it
was learned today. against three
steamship companies whose. boats ply
between New York and South Ameri-
can ports.
Alleged discrimination in freight
rates is laid at the door of the lines
and suit charging violation of the
Sherman antitrust law may follow
the completion of the investigation,
according to reports which were con-
firmed this afternoon by United States
District Attorney Wise.
The investigation has been quietly
underway for two months along the
lines pursued by Mr.. Wise prior to his
fling suit last winter against the So
called Transatlantic steamship trust.
The existence of an alleged agree
ment or pool of 33 defendants to that
suit was charged in the complaint; the
present investigation has so far failed
to unearth similar document, 1t is
reported but the work of the 1nves-
tigators has been hampered by the
fact that the South American lines
are foreign conipa nies, two of them
having had Quarters in England, and
the third being German enterprise.
