GEORGE DECLARES
He is A VICTIM OF
UNSCRUPU PULOUSFOES
Founder of George Junior
Republic Denies Charges
Against Him in EN-
phatic Statement

New York. December 19.-To radical dif-
ferences of opinion between two hostile
factions. William r. George attributed
this afternoon the recent recommendation
of the state board of charities that he be
removed from all active participation in
the affairs OF the George Junior Republic
at Freeville. N. Y, founded by him more
than 10 years ago. Mr.. George asserted
his innocence of all charges made against
him
1T is maddening,' he said, after hav-
ing established in the world a reputation
for good character and service, to have
my name dragged in the mire as a de-
baucher of womanhood. Those who know
me need no reinsurance from me that l
am perfectly innocent, but my tortures
begin in earnest when think of the tens
of thousands of people to whom l have
spoken on public platforms and that they
may be saying, 1t is true after all that
Daddy George is a lying hypocrite and a
villain in Disguise
Two Hostile Camps
''rhe seed of the whole trouble is rad
ical difference of opinion between two
hostile camps: Those who believe in the
self governing principles of the junior
republic as the best means for training
boys and girls for good citizenship anu
those who believe in paternalsm and dis
cipline from above and institutional
methods.
Now, what about this miserable stuff ::
A six-year-old charge, long ago investi-
gated and discredited. even repudiated at
one time by the one making it, has been
dragged out with the iGea of diserediting
me-
Finally in 1912, at my insistenee, the
National Association of Junior Republics
appointed a joint committee to investi-
gate everything about me from my BIRTH
My entire life has been one Of sexual
purity. and certain persons have found
out this to their chagrin All my life has
been in Freeville and New York city, ard
every little nook and Granny of my ex-
istence has been combed i'm vain. And
the committee in order to settle this thing
once for all, secured as judges Joseph H.
Choate, Samuel Seabury and Miss Lillian
Wald to read all the testimony and give
"a verdict. The committee has spent
months in going over my entire life.
1--WE We're all led to believe that the
state board would take no action until
the committee. headed by Mr.. Choate, re-
ported. They suddenly and without war;
ing the state board give out report
carefully convieting me by innuendo
though in so many words. This seems TO
me to have been done in an effort thor
oughly TO diseredit me and my associates
in the work for fear / shall be vindicated
by the official investigating committee
which has gone so intimately into my
whole life and my whole work.
IT want to say right here to my friends
and supporters that the republic cause
will continue just as 1t has in the past 1t
will weather this effort to ruin it, just as
1t has weathered similar though less spec
tacular efforts in the past. Its cause is
a just and righteous one and around 1t 10

CRIMINAL BAND PASSES
Michael Sage Aged Criminal Picturesque and Last Of Famous
Sal]ie Mott Gang, Which Terrorized Chicago Twenty
Years Ago, in Tolls of the Law

1 won't mind a year; am more at home
in prison than out anyway"
The Mott gang of pickpockets, thieves,
burglars holdup men and general utility
thieves 20 years ago lived the scenes that
usually are found In dime novels. and no
member of the gang was more resource
full in crime than Sage. Mollie Mott, by
her beauty and personality, led the gang
and was the cause of more than one af-
fray between jealous followers.
The gangs success bred emulation and
other criminals formed themselves into a
band known In police annals as the Shev
lin gang. The gangs fought the police
and each other until Mollies charms
conquered one of the Shevlin gang and
brought the two tribes under her harmoni-
Gus sceptre. Reentness war with the
police. disease and prison cells in the
succeeding years broke up the band and
its members for the most part are dead
or at least passed from the ken of tho
local police. Sage Is the last one they
know of and they fear him no more

The reorganization plan originated with
the COMPANY. although It followed many
reports that a suit against 1t might be

striking indication offered in decade
that big business has come to the con-

The plan met not only the approval
of the Attorney General and his chief

of the subsidiaries of the combine but
was heartily approved by President Will

President expressed his admiration for
the attitude of the telephone company

OF the department OF justice took on an
added significance and some officials
went so far as to express the opinion
that it Indicated that Legislation to ae-

ton at the present session.
In brief the agreement provides that:

that thd plan gave the government ev-

Nicksburg, December ia wOm-
an was brought into the trial today of
state Senator G. A.. Hobbs, charged
with soliciting and receiving a bribe
from Stephen CasfIeman of BeIzoni,
Miss. In outlining its case TO the court
the defense maintained that Hobbs and

fiuenee favoring a new county bill in

maintained that Bilbo and Hobbs had
heard Castleman offered to Mrs. M. L.

their only business with him was to
force him to say that he had done this.
That was the reason Hobbs met Castle

Mrs. Turnage is the editor of two news
papers in Mississippi. and postmistress of
the house al the last session of the leg
islature 1t was because of her alleges'
illness at this time that the defense wa

overruled and the trial proceeded

Many. Sides Discussed
Many angles OF the case have been
discussed generally over the state since

this one came as genuine surprise.
While Hobbs and Bilbo will be tried
separately they were jointly inulcteu anu
1t is believed much the same testimony
will govern both trials. This resulted in
much comment here upon the similarity
of this plea, and that of Bilbo in 1910,
when he was charged with receiving a
bribe. : He was a member of the house
then and admitted receiving $64o, but said
he took 1t from l.. C. Dulaney to catch
Dulaney in bribery. He was exonerated

Senator Weeks, one of the leaders on
