The Devil Ruled at the Devils Ball
And Two Persons Went to Awful Death
Special Correspondence.
BY JACK JUNGMEYER.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. July Tt
took the death OF two persons to
shock California into a realization OF
the frightful effects upon its young
girls Of the chicken dances and
rag orgies heretofore easily toler-
ated by the general public and its
officials.
The awakening came a few days
ago with the notorious devils ball'
at Mills Station on the Folsom road.
where after a night OF riotous aband-
on in which young girls and older
women yielded themselves TO what
Dist Atty. +. :. WachhOrst charact-
cried as shocking indecencies, one Of
the dancers, Miss Grace Benson, flung
a laugh at her gyrattng companions,
went out into the starlight and drank
q vial Of poison.
She and Guy Pierce, the man who
attempted 10 get her 10 a physician,
had their lives snuffed out when the
machine in which they were speed
ing drove over an enbankment.
All the brazen abandon, which the
affair was TO encourage, was put into
the name OF the event. The devil
ball." the promoter, Blackie Thomas,
called il. where everything went"
No worse. essentially, than scores
Of other dances Of the same charac-
ter that had been held from time
10 time throughout the country, feed
ing the NAV OF white slavery, this
debauch with its tragic ending, reused
the fathers and mothers 10 a furore
OF indignation. Subsequent investi-
cation showed that - of every 20
cases of youthful delinquency in Sacra-
mento alone We're attributed by
Juvenile Judge ]. w. Hughes TO road
house dances and joy rides.
Wipe out these orgies that are
communicating the youth Of both
sexes came the peremptOry demand
Of aroused citizens. Devils balls
are claiming too heavy a toll in
wrecked lives"
The result viii be that Sacramento
will enact an anti-ragging ordinance
and that her example must be follow
ed by the entire state.
"Blackie" Thomas, who promoted
the DEVILS ball." is undergoing a 90
day sentence in the county Jail, fol-
lowing his plea Of guilty 10 a charge
OF outraging public decency.
His case marked the first invoca-
ton of a law which had been lying
innocuous in the code for years. 1t
has sounded the death knell for the
rag" in California. in the belief of
the Sacramento county officials

cipal address was made by Mayor

first mortgage bondholders Of the At

several holders of the bonds, who had
not yet done so, to agree to turn in
their bonds on the purchase of the
north end of the road. e. II. Messenger,
of Linden, presided.
AS a result OF the meeting, all the
bonds will be delivered to the trustees

who was one of the three trustees,
leaves but two trustees in office, G. H.
Messenger and S. c. Peterson. A reso-
luton was adopted, empowering these
two to act.

commission has now entered its decree
IN the first case involving the use OF
the new law for condemnation of
transmission lines for electric power.
II was announced some time ago that
the commission had decided il has the
authority to order condemnation over
the Indian lands Of the Sac and Fox
Indians in Tana county. The decision
sets forth the acts of the legislature
and congress making the reason plain
for this right. The right of condemna-
ton is given for a strip twenty five
feet wide thru parts of Tama and Mar
shall counties, and thru Montour and
LeGrand and in parts of Marshalltown
and Toledo and Tama. The decision
sets forth, also. that the construction
shall be in accord with specifications to
be adopted by the board.
The commission has also filed its
decision in the Dubuque excelsior case,
which has been pending long time In
this the commission orders reduction
cf the excelsior car load rate from 16h
cents to IA cents from Dubuque TO
Council Bluffs, with a carload mimi
mum OF 10000 pounds. This was really
fight between St. Paul and Dubuque,
as the railroads had made rate from
St. Paul to Council Bluffs of IA cents
and the distance is about the same.
The carriers resisted the reduction
across Iowa on the theory that it
would be in effect a regulation OF IN
terstate commerce and would compel
revision of interstate rates west
Grain Rates Advanced.
The commission has also received
notice thru the interstate commission
of an advance in grain rates from ST.
Paul and Minneapolis to many Iowa
points No action has been taken on
this as the rates are now in effect
Notice has been received, also. OF
proposed advance in rates on iron and
steel. and on wrought iron or steel pipe
from Chicago. ST Louis and other
main dis =; buting points TO about LOO

crease in rates which the railroads
have proposed and the commerce
counsel has taken up the matter and
filed with the interstate commerce

sion of the rates pending investfga-
