THE TRIAL is SLATED FOR ST.
PATRICK'S DAY, MARCH II.
To the Friends of the Jeffs:

To the Friends of the Jeffs:
Sometime in next March the Ro-
manists are going to put Mr. Wat
son on trial for exposing their hell
ism. We learn that the trial will
be in Augusta; don't know the day.
Hope the Jeff will inform us on this
soon. Let every friend of Mr.. Watts
son, and every friend of American
liberty show a faithful hand in this
trial. Let us be loyal to our coun-
try and to those who so earnestly
fight the battle to save our people
from. those hellish dragons. Let
people get together at once; let us
have local meetings anywhere we
find it most convenient together for
the purpose of aiding Mr. Watson
in this fight. When the Romanists
halt or call down any Of our leaders
then itsis our duty, as protestants,
to boldly walk up and see to it that
liberty is not trampled under foot.
Let everyone that possibly can be
present at Mr.. Watson's trial. We
must get busy. Talk don't do any
good unless there is some acting
mixed in. We must not act the
traitor, like the Rev. Brantley. Be-
ware of false prophets which come
to you in sleeps clothing, but in
wardly and ravenou1 wolves. Rev.
Brantley can't explain this treach-
cry to my satisfaction. Please don't
call him Baptist any more. You
misrepresent him when you talk
about him that way. You might in
suit his Catholic brethren. Baptist

now? Methodist preachers! What
are you doing these hard times?
Presbyterian preachers! What are
you doing during these trials and
tribulations? II you preachers are
for Christ and humanity get busy
among your flock. Don't be such
towards and so easily intimidated.
Let popularity and nice times go to
thunder. The time has come that
you must exercise your best judg.
ment and actions to save our coun-
try from being cast heIlWard by
these Catholic dragons. Guardians
OF Liberty! Where are you now
adays? What was your purpose in
organizing? Was it only to have
something new to talk about? Was
the purpose to assemble yourselves
together occasionally for social chat
and nice time? I trust that such
is not your purpose, but, on the
other hand, your motto is to guard
our biood-bought liberty, and faith
fully discharge the duties and OBJ
legations that we owe to Christ and
His people. Bear in mind the obli-
cations of the Romanists-that is,
to destroy all who don't bow to
Rome Cor the pope). They have
promised to serve the protestant
world with the leaden bullet, the
poisonous cup, the strangling cord;
also to mail, burn and fay ell people
who don't bow to the ghostly father
You need not be surprised to hear
OF them taking Mr.. Watson's life at
home or abroad, even in the court
room.
And again, it won't surprise me
ii some Of the old cardinals or
priests don't deliver a right down,
nice, smoth sympathetic prayer at
Mr.. Watson's trial, for the court,
jury, and audience, to taste of.
Let's wake up and get busy,
prove our loyalty and love to each
other and fellow man. Hope, trust,
and strive that liberty and true
christianity may be ours.

those accompanying him and ex-
claimed:
''This is crushing the future
motherhood of the country. 1t
must be stopped. It is too horrible
for words"
From the Henry street hall, and
with the girls crowding about and
cheering his departure, the crowd
went to Odd Fellows hall at 81 ST.
Marks Place, where another gather
ing awaited him. The girls here
had not been informed that a noted
man was to visit them and they were
startled at first when the Colonel
pushed his way into the gatherings.
At this place most of the girls could
speak English and the time needed
for translation was saved. Col.
Roosevelt's method Of gaining the
confidence of the girls was the same
as at the other place. He was quite
informal, and soon had the young
women at their ease One Jewish
girl, some Is years old, told the
Colonel that she could earn only
$3.50 week because she could not
work on Saturday. If the strike
was successful she wanted as a con-
dition of settlement that Sunday
should be made a work day.
A story that touched the Colonel
deeply was told by a fifteen-year-old
Italian girl. At the end of her mar
rative she said with a catch in her
voice:
If only they would let us sing
while we work.
The brutes,' Mr. Roosevelt NUT
tered under his breath, 'Fto prevent
them from singing if they can be
cheerful under such conditions
It was here that one girl, when
asked had she used her wages, ex-
planned that $2.75 Of her $3.50 a
week was spent on food, and the rest
provided all other necessities of life.
"You see," she said, 1.-The boys can
go to the saloons and get free lunch
con with nickel beer, out we have
to buy from a pushcart"
When the Colonel departed for his
home he said that he would continue
his investigation on Thursday, his
regular day in town, and that then
he would have more to say about
the conditions under which the girls
labored. He said that he would
speak to State Senator Salant, the
only Progressive in the Legislature,
and ask him to promote legislation
more favorable to the young girls
who were fOrced<to earn their Iiv-
ing in the garment industry. New

and is going to take his time about
getting over it. His latest diatribe
is at all pIutocrats, and he says We
are worse off than Russia, which
proves that man who is not a good
loser has no business in American
politics.

the trip at the request of Miss Made
line G. DOty, Secretary of the Child
Welfare Committee of the Progress
sive Service, who last Saturday went
to Oyster Bay and told the Colonel
that most of the girls employed as
kimOno and wrapper makers were
not more than Is years old, and
were forced to work at starvation
wages for overlong hours.
Miss Doty and Miss Gertrude Bar
mum, an organizer of the Interna-
t;omHl Garment Workers Union, &C
c.. 2nied. Col. Roosevelt. The par
ty 0crarted from The Outlook office
in a taXicab at o'clock in the after
on and went to a hall at 40 Henry
Street where between 500 and 800
girl strikers had assembled to meet
the man who Miss DOty told them
was parsonage" She had not re-
vealed the Colonies name. When
those in the hall saw the Colonel in
the taxicab they ran to the street to
greet him.
Shaking hands with them as he
walked toward the entrance, and,
with his hat pressed under his ell
hall. Inside there was no attempt
at Formally. Col. Roosevelt marched
to the front of the room, but instead
of standing on the platform, he
leaned against desk and waved his
hand for silence.
'NOw, young ladies'" he began,
ST want to know all about your
aives; how you work, and how you
manage to be cheerful. Just gather
around me and tell your stories"
When this had been translated
into Spanish, Italian, Turkish, and
Greek, the girls, ranging in age
from Is to IA years, formed close
circle around their visitor. He sat
on desk swinging his feet, and
Miss Doty took down his questions
and the answers.
CHOW, tell me all about YOURSELF"
the Colonel said, pointing to a tall
and misunderstanding Spanish girl,
seemingly some Is years old.
Through an interpreter the girl
said she had come to this country
when she was IA years old. She
started at once, she asserted to
earn her living as a wrapper maker,
and had been employed at that work
ever since. She went to work at 8
O'Clock in the morning, quit at
O'Clock at night, and earned between
Sc and 81 a week. She made SO
kimonOs a week at 4 cents each, she
said For the machine on which she
did her sewing in the factory and
which was owned by the company,
she had to pay $32, she told the
Colonel, the price being taken out of
her weekly wages. Her father had
been i'll in the hospital for a year,
and all her wages went to the sup
port of the family.
The Colonel could hardly wait till
the story closed to express anger at
such conditions. The smile Of greet
ing which he had worn on entering
the hall had by this time completely
disappeared, and in it's stead was an
expression of anger mixed with SYM
pathy. He next heard the story of
Esther Bella, II years old, of 1O4
Allen street, who had been forced
to pay $32 for machine which her
] employers owned. Her wages were
Sc a week, from which she had to
pay all her living expenses. The
stories poured in upon the Colonel,
girls pressing forward to take the
places of those who had finished
their recitals. No hesitation was
shown; only eagerness to gain the
ColonePs attention.

May Put a Stop to Bonds for

From now on County Attorney Will

judges to impose the nlaximum Jail
sentence provided by law on convicted
began this morning by asking Judge
George H. Whitcomb to sentence J.
H. Stout, convicted on two counts, to
six months in Jail on each count. The
court increased the length of the SEN
tence, sending Stout to Jail for 60
days on the first count and 80 days on
the second count.
Atchison's idea is not to increase
the time of the service of the violators,
but to provide a club over their heads
in the future, and also to provide for
summarily putting stop to jointists
re-entering their field of work after
they are liberated.
"I want these people sentenced to
the maximum penalty provided by law
in the way of Jail sentences" Atchi-
son said. Then when they have serv-
ed the time that would ordinarily be
imposed upon them, L shall ask the
court to parole them and hold the re-
mainder of their sentences over their
heads to insure further compliance
with the law
Atchison believes that most of the
violators will be slow to go back into
their violations If a penalty remains
to be served, and also that he will save
the county the expense of future trials,
as all that will be necessary will be to
prove to the satisfaction or the court
that paroles have been violated to
have the violators returned to Jail.
Atchison is fighting the prevailing
custom of jointists securing bond when
arrested and going back to selling
liquor pending their hearing. He also
intends to do away with appeals to
the supreme court that result in stays
of execution, and permits violators
libertv and the possibility of still
further violating the law while their
cases are pending in the higher court.
He believes he will be able to accom-
plish his purpose in the way he out
lined to the court this morning.

TO TRY MARRIAGE
Girls in New York Given a
Chance to Test 1t.
Ii Not Satisfactory, Annulment
Is i'm Order.

New York, April 4.-Tria1 marriages
for young women under Is years of
age are legal in New York according
to a decision yesterday by Supreme
Justice Cohalan. If she marries with
the consent of her parents, and leaves
her husband before she attains that
age, the present law in effect permits
her to come into court and obtain
a decree of annulment as a matter of
course, he declared
This is to all intent and purposes
provided in such cases of trial mar
riages," he said 1T is a contention
the remedy for which lies with the
legislature and not with the court"
The decision was in the case of Mrs.
Ivy Mundell Coster, who sued to annul
her marriage with Norman B. Coster,
The justice found that although Mrs.
Coster's mother had consented to the
marriage the daughter was only II at
the time and was entitled to maintain
an action for annulment.

King of Montenegro Is Game
TO the Core.
He Will Hold Scutari and Make
1t Capital.
DEFIES THE FIVE POWERS
Big Nations Combine and Send
Ships to Bully.
Austrian Press Hysterical Over
Affair.

London, April 4.-King Nicholas
of Montenegro is determined to cap
ture and hold Scutari, says a dispatch
from Cettinje, which gives the follow
ing statement from the King:
''I assure you that and my people
mean to keep the land we have re-
taken during the war. We mean to
take and keep it. This is the dominat-
ing impulse of the Montenegrins who
know too well it is far better to die
fighting than to go on living as we
are doing now
The king pointed out that the pos
session of the fertile lands of the Zeta
death to his country and that his peo-
pie were prepared to defy the will of
Europe and fight for victory or ex-
termination.
@@Scutari will be my capital in the
future declared the king.
Five Powers Will Send Ships.
London, April 4.-Instructions were
wired today to ships of the five Euro
pean nations joining in the naval
demonstration against the kingdom of
Montenegro to proceed at once to the
scene and establish a blockade of the
Montenegrin coast.
Final details with regard to the
demonstration was settled at a two
hours meeting of the European am
bassadors in London today. Although
Russia has been unable to send a ship

Austria Is Hysterical.
Vienna, April 4.-Little Montene-
gro's defiance of the powers is the
subject of a series of hysterical out
bursts in the newspapers here. There
are indications, the Austrian editors
believe, that some of the powers are
not supporting the program agreed
upon for the coercion of Montenegro.
The finger of suspicion points particu-
larly at Russia.
All the papers print today an appar-
emily inspired declaration announcing
that Austria-Hungary expects to act
independently against Montenegro, in
case the naval demonstration by the
powers is insufficient.
One editor adds that ''the city of
Scutari must belong to the future
state of Albania with or without the
consent of Europe
The Reichs Post declares that if
Russia prefers to see things otherwise
arranged, the whole work of the am
bassadorial conferences in London will
be null and void.
1t is stated here that during the re-
cent fighting in the vicinity of Scutari
the Montenegro and Servian besieg-
ing armies lost 1000 killed and the
same number wounded.

Free Wool and Low Duty ON
Sugar Is Result.
President Wilson and Congress
Leaders Make Plans.
BIG LOSS OF REVENUE
New Rates VIII Take SSO.OOO,.
900 a Year From Z. S.
Income Tax Schedule Also An
nOunced Today.

Washington, April 4.-With Presi-
dent Wilson and Congressional lead
ers practically agreed upon free wool
and very low duty on sugar event
ually to become free, the ways and
means committee today began draw
ing a report on the new tariff bill,
estimating the loss of revenue from
the new rates at sSO,000,000 a year.
The revenue from the income tax
will be estimated all like amount to
be derived in this way:
Incomes of $4,000 to $4,000 one
per cent; $4,000 to $4,000 two per
cent; $4,000 to 100000 three per
cent; all over 100000 four per cent;
flat tax on corporations two per cent.
The exemption now stands this way,
and is not expected to be changed.
Among the numerous additions to
the free list will be steel rails. Cuts
will be made all along the line on the
metal schedule. After the senate fl
nance committee reviewed the bill to-
day a subcommittee went into con-
ference with Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee.
Three Years Too Short for Sugar Men.
Col. Sol exler, a banker of New
Orleans, told the president today that
the sugar planters of Louisiana could
not adjust their business in three years
to compete with Cuba and the rest of
the president must have been misin-
formed if he believed it could be done.
Col. Wexler went away from the White
House with the distinct impression, he
said, that unless the Louisiana people
accepted the compromise the president
would urge free sugar in any event.
There is now believed to be a gen.
eral agreement all around. The pos
sibility of a compromise on sugar
makes it apparent that there will be
less difficulty than at first expected.
1t appeared certain after the meeting
that free wool would be retained in the
measure. Senators Simmons. James
and Hughes were appointed commit
tee to confer at once with Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee. TIE cabinet discussed the
sugar compromise and the whole tariff
bill sitauiton at the regular meeting
today. 1t was said there were no diff
ferences of opinion among the MEM
bers or with the president.
