Washington. - Secretary Garrison
now has the Philippine slavery report
by w. II. Phipps, auditor for the
islands. backing up the startling
charges of Dean Worcester. 1t cites
details of many cases of boys and girls
sold into slavery at prices ranging
from $50 to 800 and that heads of
savage families sell their daughters
and regard the practice as a right.
Il have no hesitancy in saying that
cester that slavery exists in the Philip
pines are sustained" says Mr.. Phipps.
Some Slaves Aged.
The Philippines report is based on
investigation conducted under the di-
rection of the Philippine auditor by
district auditors. 1t was accompanied
by a list of 67 persons held as slaves,
some being held outright and some un-
der the so-called debt SYSTEM" the
fallacy of which Is shown by the fact
that some of the slaves SO held are
more than go years old and have been
held by their present owners since
birth.
"The almost universal report made
to me by each person who has been
asked to investigate" wrote Mr.
Phipps, was that slavery in some
form existed to his personal knowl
edge; with a number it is form OF
peonage, which is the most extensive
form of slavery practiced here; with
many others it will be noted it is the
barter and sale of human beings by
one person to another, who holds sucf
person so sold to him in absolute sub
jugation and they perform duties anC
labor for him without compensation
further than scanty clothing and il
many cases Indifferent food"

Hurried Introduction
To Sidewalk Does Not
Suit Atlanta Woman
Chief Beavers Receives Complaint
About Banana Peels on
Marietta Street.

IT dislike 10 meet the sidewalk in
such q hurry is the significant anG
striking manner in which woman
complainant has written to Police Chief
Beavers to protest against banana peel.
thrown on the sidewalk in Marietta
street, between Spring and Barlow
streets.
The writer intimated that she already
had obtained "a hurried acquaintance
with the sidewalk through an introduc-
ton by banana peel, and asked that
the police take the matter in hand. UNI
der the city ordinance that prohibits
the throwing of peels on sidewalks.
81 don't understand why so many
peels are thrown on this particuia,
sidewalk" she wrote. but it evidently
indicates that people in that section are
endeavoring TO reduce the high cost Of
living by resorting to the banana as a
cheap fuel of life That NAV be all
right, but I don't think these banana
eating reductionists should endanget
the necks of thousands of pedestrians
who have to pass that way every day"
Chief Beavers gave special instruc-
lions that the banana peel law be en-
forced. that there might be no further
hasty meetings with the sidewalk.
