ARREST ALLEGED
 WHITE SLAVE" MAN

Tampa, Fla, September 16.-On tho charge of violating the new white slave" law, a man named Lathanasaw was held for trial today in the United States com nlissloners court as the result of the story told by a young girl named Agnes Couch. Iathanasaw was proprietor of resort known as the Imperial theatre, which was ordered to close. He was re- leased under 5000 bond to appear at the next term of the federal court.
 The girl, who is from Louisville, testi- fled she came here in response to an ad- vertisement for chorus girls only to find that the place was not respectable.
 Two women have been arrested on a similar charge and are out under bond. They probably will be given preliminary hearing by the commissioner shortly.
 No further arrests have been made to- nay, but United States District Attorney Cheney is still Investigating the whole sale white slave trafficking in this city.

office of the secretary. It is his business to keep the price up to the highest possi- ble point Nobody wants to buy mem bership at the quoted figure and there is an unlimited and unknown number who would be glad to sell out if they could get anywhere near $75,000. A member of the exchange told me a few days ago that to his personal knowledge 12 mem bers had offered their seats for sale with out being able to find buyer or to get any satisfaction from the secretarys of- flee. It Is generally conceded that not more than 50 per cent of the members of the exchange have been making enough the last year and half to pay expenses. A great percentage of the members have been running behind.
 If there could be such thing as an open market for seats on the exchange, the price would no doubt slump to S50,O00 or under. Possibly. however there would be no more buyers at that price than at

75Ooo. So what's the use of letting down

$fo,OOO. 50 whats the use of letting down the quotation? A few years ago when Charles G. Gates decided to leave the exchange he tried to find a buyer for his seat at the approved figure. about $S0,O00 He found hollow market for mem bership and in violation of the unwritten law he proceeded to offer his seat down until somebody came along and bid him $5l,o0q which he promptly accepted. The act made him decidedly unpopular on the exchange and created great sensation among the inner circle. The members arr gued that by breaking the price of the seat to s51.000, he had made a market which represented total loss on the thousand memberships of about s3,000,000 What did he care?

The greatest of all the causes of un- certainty in the stock market and busi- ness situation is the chaos that rules with
 regard to the status of hundreds of in dustrial corporations. The supreme court decisions in the Standard oil and To- bacco Trust cases have been construed as applying to a very great majority oi the incorporated industries of the land. Their representatives by the score have visited the department of justice at Wash ington and tried in vain to obtain from the Attorney General some general plan by which they could conform to the law without being compelled to go through the ordeals of litigation MT. Wickersham has prepared or approved of a form under which Standard Oil will dissolve as a trust and he is at work on a plan for the Tobacco trust. His experience with these two corporations makes him fear full that 1t will be impossible to get Up plan that will fit the hundreds of other incorporated combines that would seem to be in violation of the ant-Sherman law. This leaves the organized industries of the country in a state of uncertainty as to what they can do and just what they must do to get themselves within the law. As matters now stand, they feel that they are virtually outlaws and liable

The New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad is another New England in- fliction at the present time. A few years ago the stock was selling around 250 and was looked upon as better than govern ment bonds. About six years ago James J. Hill handed New England Mellen which has turned out to be a very sour lemon. He bestowed his Mellen (Mr Charles S) and another lemon by the name of Timothy O. Byrne, upon the then prosperous New Haven railroad. The two came in the same basket. They took charge of the New Haven system and were going to show the 12,000 New England stockholders how railroad should be run. When they took charge New Haven stock was quoted around 200. The bonded indebtedness was next to nothing. Under the Melen- -Byrne man agement the railroad system has grown from about 200 miles to about 5000 miles, and has increased the capital liabilities from around $1O0,O00 00,O00 to $394,000.000. It's stock has run down from 200 to less than 130.
 amount of it's per cent dividend and the air is full of talk about a cut to per cent and the resignations of both Mellen and Byrne. All of these reports meet with official denial and the minds of men are befogged and confused with the un- certanties of the situation. The original report of the Mellen resignation was traced directly to his personally conduct ed news bureau and when his denial was published the weak explanation was made that the whole thing was one of Mellens jokes. The grim New Englanders who have seen the value of their New Haven stock cut down 50 per cent are regarding the wild western invaders, Mellen and Byrne. as a joke of the ghastliest de- scription. They are in mood at present to chuck the joke into the deep waters of Boston harbor. Incidentally, the New Haven incident has been proving one of the bear Features of the New York stock market And the end is not yet

the courts of this county. Prosecut-
ing Attorney G. w. Clark late Satur-

GOVERNOR SPEAKS
AT DARDANELLE
DEFENDS REVENUE LAW
DONAGHEY REFUSES, HOWEV
Err, TO ENTER INTO POLIT-
ICAL CONTROVERSY.

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-Attracted
by the possibility of some political py-
ortechnics, quite little party of Little
Rock politicians left this morning for
Dardanelle to attend the speaking at
that place today. Gov. Donaghey will
address the citizens of Yell county at
the opening of court this afternoon,
upon the Turner-J acobson revenue
bill. Attorney General Norwood ex-
poets to follow later with an attack
upon the measure, in which he will
answer Governor Donaghey.
As soon a sit was announced that
Governor Donaghey would make this
speech, Attorney General Norwood
asked for division of time, which
was refused by Governor Donaghey,
who said he was going as a state Of
fetal, to explain the measure, and not
as a politician to discuss political mat
ters. Attorney General Norwood then
said he would go and speak when Gov
Donaghey gets through. Gov. Dona-
ghey expects to talk about and hour to
the people gathered at the courthouse
in Dardanelle, and then leave in time
to get an afternoon train back to Lit
tie Rock This will give Attorney
General Norwood ample time to make
his address before the farmers are
forced to leave for home.
Gov. Donaghey stated before leav-
ing this morning that he would not
announce himself as candidate for
third term as governor during the
speech he viii make at Dardanelle.

CONDEMNED BOY SAYS HE
WOULD PREFER GRUB

Little Rock, Sept 11.-"Wouldn't a
feller have a time up with folks what
treats you so nice" is the comment of
Earl Gilchrist, the negro youth under
sentence of death in the Pulaski coun-
ty Jail, for the murder of another boy /:
II sho would like to go to see som of
them fine folks who have spent so
much money asking Gov. Donaghey 70
let me go. They is plum crazy tho,
cause I amt dead yit, en- thay aint a
goin ter hang me. If l get out I am
goin to git some of the names and go
en- see en-"
Gilchrist, whom the whole country
seems determined to prevent being
hanged, is a ginger colored negro boy,
apparently 20 years of age, though he
claims to be but Is. He laughs long
and loud when he is told Of the eff
forts being made by the northern
press to free him from the hangman's
moose. He seems to enjoy the notorie-
ty, and willingly submitted to sittings
for photographs to appear in the
northern papers, but the Pulaski
county officers played mean trick on
the negro when they stood beside him
when the photograph was taken, in
order that the readers might see the
murderer is as alrge as any of the Of
ficers.
Couldn't some one change that tel
egraphin' to sum thing to eat?" asks
Gilchrist between laughs, ''cause
shore would rather have somethin'
fine ter eat than ter have all their
sympathy. l amt goin' ter hang, and
| knows that, but while they are
thinEin' about me, they might make it
good for me too"

TO PUT C0NViCTS
IN COTTON FIELD

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-Before the
end of the next week, Supt. James A.
Pitcock of the Arkansas Penitentiary
will begin to call in the negro con-
victs which are now being worked un-
der contract on the railroads and they
will be sent to the state farm, there to
be worked at picking cotton. Supt.
Pitcock says he will need at least 300
of the 400 men now on contract work,
and probably will take even more
when the frost falls. After frost
many of the white convicts will also
be taken to the farm to be kept there
until the entire crop is gathered.
Supt. Pitcock says the worms are still
damaging the cotton, and the indica-
tions are they will remain until the
frost relieves the situation. Supt.
Pitcock reports that the convicts at
the farm are spraying with paris
green, which has kept the worms from
making much headway, even though
they refuse to be routed entirely.

four acres to make bale in that sec
