Marriage Law Is
Scored by Judge as
He Frees Child Wife

Declaring the marriage laws in
stead of the divorce laws of Georgia
were in need Of a radical reform, SUI
perior Judge George /. Bell directed
a jury Monday morning to find a YER
dict in favor of pretty Mrs NJ. S
Stevens, a 15-year-old bride of a
year ago, who asked a divorce, aIleg-
ing cruel treatment.
Judge Bell charged the jury:
Gentlemen. this is not case for
moralizing This young woman is
entitled to a divorce. It is not the
divorce laws that need reforming, but
the marriage laws. There should be
some way to prevent people marrying
at the age this young woman did,
and there should be some way for
both parties to determine the kind of
proposition they are taking on for
life"

Victim Tells Beavers Names Of
Women and Man Engaged in
Traffic in Girls.

4 new and sensational expose
of vice conditions said to be
prevalent in Atlanta was made
Monday morning by Hattie
Smith, pretty 17-year-old girl,
who was arrested in hotel
which was raided Sunday night.
If the statements of the Smith girl,
who made a confession of her own
guilt to the Chief, are true. Atlanta is
in the clutches Of one of the best
organized vice systems in existence.
Certain downtown hotels. the girl
claims, are the rendezvous Of women
procurers who go out on the streets
and entice young girls in where they
are provided with every comfort and
convenience. in addition to being car
ried out on long automobile rides by
strange men.
Gives Chief Names.
The names OF at least one OF these
procurers has been placed in the
hands of Chief Beavers, who will
make an arrest before night, it is be-
lieved. The name of prominent
citizen Of Atlanta also has been given
to the Chief, in addition to the names
Of several women involved in the
traffic, it is said.
Hattie Smiths story Monday morn
ing was dramatic in the extreme. She
told Chief Beavers how she left her
home last Wednesday; how she met
the woman procurer; how she was
enticed into the hotel in question, and
then the other details Of her shame.
Her confession was complete.
She admitted her guilt and then
upon the query of the Chief told all
she knew about the conditions, which,
she says, she saw with her own eyes.
Tells Who Entieed Her.
In the course OF the conversation
the girl gave the Chief the names Of
several parties, including one or more
prominent men Of Atlanta, in addi-
ton to the name Of the woman who
enticed her to the hotel.
The arrest OF a negro elevator boy
In downtown hotel shortly after
noon was the first step taken by
Chief Beavers in the new probe. The
boy is believed to have knowledge Of
many Of the denizens of the vice ring.
Additional information was furn-
ished the police chief by the Rev.
Hugh Wallace, of the Jones Avenue
Baptist Church, who called at the Do
lice station following publication of
the new charges
A number Of downtown notels are
said to be booked for the police drag

PREVENTING CORN SMUT.
F. S. of Potters County makes the
following inquiry. 81 have corn from
a field that vas badly infested with
smut. What must I use and what
method must l employ in order to
kill the smut and not injure the
corn?" 3
Answered by Prof. A. N. Hume,
State College.
There Is no practical method of
preventing smut In corn by seed
treatment. The amount of smut
which you will ind appearing in corn
fields from year to year depends APP
parently upon seasonal conditions. In
this specific instance, while l would
not ad wise anyone TO try to get the
seed corn from q field where smut
was especially bad, l would, neverthe-
less, not fear to use the seed if it
seems to be good in other respects.
About the only method for prevent
ing, to some extent. the increase in
amount OF smut In corn, is to gather
and burn the smuted stalks before
the smut spores become ripe in the
fall.

The State Legislature
Our Special Correspondent at Pierre Writes EntertainIngly

ing the 1rst part OF the session but
this week was brot forth and Is now
being pushed vigorously. Each de-
partment will go thru a rigorous ex-
animation and the report must be
made by the fifty sixth day of the
session, tho there was an endeavor
made to have it indefinitely made,
but as this would be a political play,
the definite day was finally set by
those really wishing the investiga-
tion results announced now.
A very drastic law, requiring every
state officer, from Governor down to
make an absolute accounting Of every
bit of public property in his posses
sion each year and to file such report
with some officer, has been passed and
failure to observe and follow il is a
misdemeanor. South Dakota has not
before had a republic accounting law
and 1t means a great deal Of work in
the invoicing each time, but will
keep tab on all officers and depart
ments.
1t Is certain that three initiated
measures will be voted upon at the
next election, and perhaps Others;
these being n by the liquor interests
providing that a majority Of r the
votes cast on the question and not a
majority Of those cast at the election
shall decide the license question in
any towns; another repeating the
existing law oh1biting Sunday
amusements and the third being
Richards information bureau porposi-
tion which he tried to launch in this
legislature but failed to do.
The Saloon bill of EIDE Of Beadle
came up for passage this past week
bat was deferred until later, there
being a great fight on the question Of
| saloon to 1000 people.
Some memorials that have been
passed ask congress to limit the
jurisdiction Of the federal courts
from enjoining the enforcement of
state laws: to modify the laws relat-
ing to the lease Of Indian lands; to
make Fort Meade a brigade post: to
make homesteads 800 acres and to
have Presidential primaries. ut
least two constitutional amendments
will be voted on at the next election,
being the suffrage amendment and
one upon the issuing of special irriga-
tion bonds, which interest all persons
west II the Missouri particularly.
Kerr's bill prohibiting the payment
for names signed to initiated or re-
ferred measures was lost in the
Senate, but one has passed making it
necessary to take oath of such sigma
ture, which may meet defeat in the
House.
All members Of the legislature have
been much excited this week over the
fiEding of a plate deposited by Veren-
drye, the French explorer, at Fort
Pierre in l741, when this region be-
ionReu to France and perhaps the
state will purchase the valuable relic
from the finder.
