CRISP BRIDGES TO BE
CONSTRUCTED OF IRON
Commissioners Announce Timber Does
Not Last Long Enough.

Cordele, Jan. 15.-The Crisp coun-
ty commissioners at their recent meet
ing, made known that they will col-
struct iron bridges in as many places
in the county as funds will permit.
Their plan is to build the new iron
bridges as fast as the old wooden ones
wear out. The cause of the plan Is
the inferior quality of timber that is
now obtainable in the county for the
purpose of constructing bridges.
The first stream to be bridged with
iron is Gum creek, on the Cordele and
Vienna road just north of Cordele. 1t
requires one of the longest bridges in
the county Bids have already been
opened for it.

ROCKEFELLER TO AID
MAYNARD WOMEN
Idea Springs From His Study
Of Slave Traffic

Washington, ID, c., January Is. -
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has set aside
$10,O0O,000 in bonds, title of which has
not passed as yet, for the purpose of
establishing the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, a charitable institution, the one
and only object of which will be to re-
claim women of the tenderloin, give
them good homes and place them in
honest and lucrative positions where
they will be self-supporting.
Stanley o. Finch, chief of the Gov
ernment's Bureau of Investigation,
will be in active charge of the entire
work with the exception of the financ-
es, which will be under the control of
Mr. Rockefeller and his associates.
According to the present plan, the
headquarters of the foundation will be
in Washington, but only the admins
tration of its affairs will be conduct
ed from there. Scattered throughout
the country will be erected or pur-
chased numerous buildings, one in
nearly every large city, in which these
women will be given home. &,
Home and Positions.
They will be allowed to come and
go as they see fit, will be charged no
board until they find positions or posi-
lions are found for them, but will be
under the eye of specially appointed
investigators at all times. When posi-
tons are found for them and they b.
come self-supportihg it will be sug-
gested that they find homes with some
respectable family, but they will be
asked to keep in touch with the Foun-
dation.
Another feature of the plan calls
for the establishment of home TO!
consumptives at Denver, Colo. To this
home not only consumptives but wo-
men weakened by other diseases, will,
be sent until they are cured or die
The cities in which the homes are t,
be established have not been named
with the exception of Boston and Phil
adelphia, where it is virtually certain
large homes will be established.
So far has the plan progressed thai

suppression and investigation of the

Investigators in his department in an
effort to pick out fifteen of the best OF
them, who will be put in direct charge
of the investigating end in the cities
where the homes are to be establish
ed These men first will investigate
the qualifications of the women who
will be taken from the resorts and
placed in the homes.
According to persons who know of
the aims and ambitions of Mr.. Rookie
Teller, it is not his idea that the red
light districts can be stamped out en-
tirely, but he believes they may be
contracted considerably. Mr.. Rookie
Teller got his idea after close study,
following the time when he was fore
man of the New York grand jury,
which investigated the white slave
traffic. He has come to the conclusion
that the white slave traffic can not be
stamped out unless some provision is
made for the women of the tenderloin.
