DEPARTMENT STORE
WASHERS" RA|DED
New York Police Suspect Eleven
Taken in Waiting Room of
White Slavery.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA thorough
roundup OF "mashers" who have been
frequenting department stores. in the
belief that they may be agents of a
white slave ring, was promised by
the police here today. No mercy will be
shown men caught in the net Three of
eleven men arrested yesterday in the
waiting room of Sixth avenue depart
ment store started serving sentences IN
the workhouse today. Two were SEN
fenced to thirty days Imprisonment and
the third to twenty days. Eight others
were to be arraigned and sentenced to-
day, and were expected to be given
terms equally as long.
Numerous complaints have reached
the police recently of men loafing in
the waiting rooms of stores and flirting
with young girls. Many young woman
clerks were approached.
Lieutenant Costigan, in charge of the
squad of fifteen detectives making the
raid. said he believed they were agents
seeking to entice the young women into
leading immoral lives.
The raid was planned with the utmost
care. -Four salesgirls volunteered to aid
the city detectives. In addition, several
women detectives and the matron from
one of the police stations went to the
store. The salesgfrls went to the watt
ing room, and within a short time the
young men who were suspected had ap-
preached them When the entire eleven
were engaged in conversation with the
girls and women detectives, Costigan's
men swooped down and bundled the
suspected slavers into a patrol wagon.
Those not Immediately sentenced were
released on s, 900 bail. but the police
started q thorough investigation into
the records of the young men, IN an ef-
fort to learn whether they are working
in connection with any of the white
slave" rings known to be operating In
the city.

Substantial Pledges
Made For Hospital

Pledges Of substantial amounts were
made by practically al who were ap-

campaign for funds is now in progress.

the train pulled out Evington was In
the throes of a feud as to which of Its

Different At College.
At college and in college atmospheres,
however, the President loses his ordi-
nary austerity and actually beams. At
Princeton, where he went to cast his
vote in the primaries. he wandered
about the college, acting as guide to
the party. and explaining the build
ings and the treasures In a loving sort
of way. He dragged his foot as he
went toward his train, and he re-
mained on his car platform as long as
he could see the college buildings. At
Swarthmore College, where he went to
deliver an address, he warned his
hearers that he would have hard time
keeping away from regular lecture on
discipline and behavior, and then
launched into a discourse on those
very subjects. After 1t was through,
though it was dark and very damp. he
insisted on strolling about the campus,
talking over college matters with the
president Of the college, DR.. Swain.
He isn't very fond Of having delega-
tions greet him when he is on train.
The formality tires him. All formality
does. He has abolished uniforms on
his aides; he carries with him only q
stenographer to take his speeches; he
never writes out speech beforehand.
He rarely even divulges what he is
going to talk about.

WILSON D|SL|KES
CROWDS AT TRAIN
Would Rather Be "ConfidentiaI
President" Than to Talk to
Waiting Throngs

Up to the present time President VII
Son hasn't learned to enjoy addressing
| crowds. Which, in these days of persist
ent Presidential travel and insistent in
habitants, is somewhat amazing. Presi-
dent Wilson, if he followed absolutely
is own wishes and desires in the matter
which he doesn't-would very rarely,
II ever, give rear-platform talks or make
campaign speeches. What he'd like to
do, would be to tackle his job of being
President, and with the exception Of a
game of golf now and then, let nothing
else Interfere or draw him away from
his desk. He would much prefer to be,
as some local newspaper wag said some
days ago. a confidential President" and
let his work and results do the talking
to the crowd for him.
President Wilson actually quivers
when delighted constituency in oyeralls
and coal dust, leers UP at him and cries
out, What, no, Woody Old Scout" or
"Hooray for Woody" He's ready and
willing always to shake hands, particu-
lar!y with the ladies, for the President
probably Is the greatest example Of cour-
tesy extant today, and many times the
Chief Executive has sent shivers-of ap-
prehension cavorting coldly up and down
the spines Of the Secret Service guards
who accompany him en- all trips, by in
sisting on leaving the platform to wade
into a crowd to shake hands with some
woman who is waving an index finger in
the air and exclaiming that she wants
to grasp the Presidents hand Crowds
and the bonhomie which all Presidents
must assume bother him. His mind, as
he once wrote to Colonel House, his
friend, IS "single track mind" that
loves to grapple with great problems,
but hates to detach itself and come
downstairs, where airy persihage holds
forth.

The Queen of the celebration Miss
Mary Ella Turner, was most beauti-
full to look upon and was a repre-

to witness Miss Turner is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James l..
Turner, one of the leading younger
families in Hopkinsville. The Queen

values. Along with the 1000 brick
yards specified, let the colored youth
learn to lay brick, to do carpenter
work, to paint, plaster, paper and do
plumbing Instead of 1900 shoe
stores, let them start few shoe fac
tories, and industries of this charac-
ter.
They are great cooks and fine
housemaids when they can be relied
upon; let them be trained for this
work and have the value of neatness,
promptness and dependability ground
into them.
That store business seems to be
about the worst idea Washington ever
put into the Negroes head
This is queer reasoning. Negroes
have been charged with slothfulness
in business. They have been given
to understand that if they want the
young educated men and women OF
the race to have respectable occupa.
tions they must provide such for
them. DR.. Washington is advising
the Negroes to go into business OF
every kind, and especially those pur.
suits that are closely allied to the
soil. But the Democrat objects to
Negroes running saw-mills and con
Quoting stores and running brick
yards, but suggests that they have
shoe factories instead of shoe stores
The objection to the saw-mill is that
it requires too much capital, but a.
the same time it is suggested that
shoe factory be started instead of a
shoe store. The Democrat is so IL
logical in its advice that it is not
worth while to discuss it. We wish
to urge Negroes to take advantage OF
every opportunity that presents itself,
with the assurance that every attempt
to do business of whatever nature
will be encouraged by the best white
people of the South, the objection of
the Democrat to the contrary notwith'
standing.

We are trying to express through
he columns of The Globe our most
sincere gratitude to the many
friends who have been SO kind, help
full and sympathetic to us during our

No balm is more soothing to the
bleeding heart than an encourage
ing word, sympathizing tear; a
balm that can only be applied by
true and loyal friends.

assail;

us,

Queer Reasonlno.

Commenting on DR.. Booker T.
Washington's advice that Negroes
take advantage of the business oppor-
tunities of the South, the Democrat
of Wednesday morning had the fol.
lowing to say:
The colored educator undoubtedly
knows the Negro better than we do
and his travels may have afforded
him better opportunity to have ac-
quainted himself with the needs OF
the South. At the same time his
catalog of enterprises seems so lop.
sided that it invites comment and
criticism
Take the item Of 1000 sawmills
Where is the timber for the opera
ton? How is the Negro going to
come by tracts that are ready to BE-
worked, when it takes hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to handle such
propositions?
The suggestion of 10000 new stores
is something preposterous. There
may be a demand for a few such in
communities where the Negroes con.
stitute large part Of the population,
but any such number as herein men.
