THE END OF THE STORY OF "BESS" THE GIRL
WHO WAS TRAPPED By WHITE SLAYERS


automobiles. He had none. They in
vited him to bring his girl friends
along for Joy rides. He did so.
They didn't get all the girls. They
just got one. After she had disap-,
peared the boy began to get sus-l
picious. He began to use his brains.
He was dangerous. Well, through
the sIaVers he had grown to be a
"roUnder," and one day the mother
of 12-year-oId girl, who looked five,
years older, got an anonymous letter
giving some facts about her daUgh-.
ter and the boy.
She had watched that girl all her
life. She was the pride of her heart
and she couldn't believe it. So she
questioned her. 1t all came out then.
The boy was arrested, pleaded
guilty and got seven years.
That's how they get rid of people
that might talk. After the "peacher''
is arrested he can talk his head off
and get laughed at.
Lots of the procurers work at the
beaches in the summer. That's where
they get respectable girls. Often the
girl is afraid to go home afterwards
and then she's an easy victim.
A girl in the juvenile hall escaped
from slavers who got her at a re-
igious revival One of the recruiters
mingled with the crowd every night
and prayed and shouted like zealot.
He made friendly overtures to the
girl and one night when the services
were on he touched her and said he'd
been suddenly taken sick and asked
her to lead him out quietly
Down at his tent, where she took
him, he mixed a medicine and took
it and then asked her to take a dose.
1t was all foolish, child-like fooIing,
but she took it. That was the last
she remembered until she came to IN
a strange room. Her clothes had
been taken away. She cried and
screamed. but it was no Use.

WHO WAS TRAPPED
BY Evelyn Nesbitt.
Chapter v.
Bess heard them telephOning for
the police. Maybe you can imagine
what her feelings were. She was a
good girl.
Before the police came and while
a couple of store detectives were
guarding the door, the woman began
to cry. She was so sorry for Bess,
she said.
Now let me say right here that
lots of customers wouldn't have been
so successful as that woman was.
But she was a heavy buyer and the
management didn't want to offend
her.
Finally madam told the manager
she'd taken a fancy to Bess and
couldn't bear to see her 60 to prison.
Then she repeated her offer to take
Bess home, saying she would give
her a good place and drop proceed
ings.
Bess didn't have long to mediate.
1t was Jail for grand larceny or go
home with~the woman. So she took
a chance and went home with
Madam.
That was the end of Bess.
Irecently heard Of her in round
about way. She's in Chicago now,
that's a favorite clearing house. She
doesn't want to escape, because es-
cape would only mean arrest and the
WOrkhOuse.
Was it Bessie's fault?
What store girl is safe?
Woman who work as recruiting
officers are terrible creatures, but |
there is even a worse procurer than
she. He is the young man who
"chases" with girls of his neighbour
hood. Often he's used as a tool by
the sIaVers.

The entertainment offered by the
Lawrence College Glee club atthe First
Methodist church Friday evening was
a thoroughly enjoyable event. A large
and sympathetic audience gathered to
greet the young gentlemen and it is
safe to say that no one was disap-
| pointed. The program was a varied
one, all of the numbers being given
with true artistic appreciation and
finesse. The demand for encores was
generously granted and an atmosphere
of genuine enjoyment on the part of
audience and entertainers characterized
the evening. The reader, Howard
Watson, is to be commended for the
beauty and truthfuiness of his inter
pretations which were no less enjoy
aole than the musical numbers. The
audience was especially enthusiastic
over "The Kinder Symphony Or
chestra", "The Sparrow's Twitter"
by Otto, "Silent Night, Hallowed
Night" Becker, and the reading OF
"Cyrano de Bergerac" which Mr.
| Watson gave with keen apprecia-
ton. This is the second time the

may be with us again next season.
The club came under the auspi ces

the officers of the league, was most
active in providing the excellent
entertainment.

ID DESIGNATE B|G TRACTS FOR
 HOMESTEADING
Secretary Lane Rcvcrts to Earlier Practice Wit h Relation to Lands Subject t. Entry Under Enlarged Homestead Act
Especial to The Republican,


 WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug. 10.- For the last year or more public lands in the Western States have been desig- mated by the Secretary of the Interior las subject to entry under the so-calIed enlarged homestead act, or the 320- acre homestead act. only on petition of those who desire to avail themselves of the provisions of this law. This procedure was an Outgrowth Of the desire of the Department to designate no lands which were not actually en- terable under the law in question. In order to accomplish this end the status of each tract had to be investigated to determine whether it was already en- tered, was a school section, was in volved in a state selection, or for any other reason had been taken out of the class of ppropriated" public act. This search meant that with the meager force available to the Depart ment only slow progress could be made in the designation of lands for entry under this law.
 Soon after the passage of the act lands had been designated for entry under it in a body without regard to their status. the only questions deter mined by the Department prior to des- ignation being that the lands were sur Veyed. unreserved. and nonrrigablc- Under this mode of procedure designa- tions can be made with comparative rapidty, the availability Of the lands for entry being determined by the ap- plicant when he visits the local land office to file upon his claim. After the abandonment of this early procedure the law was extended to apply to North Dakota. The rule of designation by pc tftion has been followed in that state. and the resulting delays have proved embarrassing both to the Department and to the citizens of North Dakota. as well as to those of other western states
 At the suggestion of Senator Gronna Secretary Lane has recently decided to revert to the earlier practice and des- ignate the lands in large bodies after it is determined that they are nonirri- gable, as required by the law. He has accordingly issued appropriate instruc- tions to the Geological Survey. which is charged under the Department with the preparation of the lists of lands enterable under this law, This change will have the effect of greatly expedit- ing the designation of lands under this law.
