GIRL BARES
NEW VICE
SYSTEM
Young Woman From the Country
Says She Was Lured to Re-
sort on Peters Street.

AS a result of a sensational story
told in police court Monday morning
by Ef1e Drummond a 2O-year- old
country girl, who was arrested Sat
urday when the police raided the
boarding house of Mrs. Lulu Bell, at
Fair and Peters streets. Chief Beav-
ers at noon issued a general order
for the arrest Of Joe North, named
by the Drummond girl as a white
SLAYER"
The girl charges that North, after
he had promised to marry her, lured
her to the Bell woman's place, and
after giving her liquor until she was
stupefied, forced her into the COM
partnership of men whom he and the
Bell woman had brought to the place.
Chief Beavers thinks the testimony
of the Drummond girl forms an i'm
portant link in the chain Of evidence
he is weaving around members Of
the vice ring said to exist in At
lanta-
The testimony Of the girl indicates,
the police believe. that North merely
was the agent Of men higher up. and
that he acted on their instructions
in Turing the Drummond girl. and
possibly others, to the Bell womans
place.
Tells All to Court.
The Chief has announced that ev-
cry phase OF the girls story will be
investigated thoroughly. Some of the
things she has told dovetail into
statements made by other girls who
have been lured to ruin by the band
which is alleged to have it's head
quarters in Atlanta.
The story Of the Drummond girl
was one Of the most astounding and
dramatic told since Chief Beavers
started his vice probe. She laid bare
the workings Of what the police be-
lieve is an organized gang OF white
slavers."

Flames Destroy
Home; Fire Chief
Hunts Incendiaries

Fire Chief Cummings is investigat-
ing a fire which destroyed the resi- :
dence of w. n. Smith, No. 344 Myrtle
street and damaged the home of L.
w. Laudrick, No. 34s Myrtle street
Leading to the belief that the blaze
was of incendiary origin is the fact
that the members of the Smith family
all were away from home on a vaca-
ton. The interior of the house was
afiame when the department arrived,
and efforts to check the fire were flu
tile.
The Laudrick family were aroused
from their sleep and were driven into
the street in their night clothes.

He spoke particularly of one great

over two thousand others were pres

yesterday swept West Virginia and
portions OF Ohio and Pennsylvania,
today continued uGabated. Transpor-
tation was considerably crippled and
the wire service seriously retarded.
The blizzard seems to have picked
up a smaller storm, and the two COM
bined early today were headed to-
ward Lake Erie.
From ten to sixteen inches of snow
was reported this morning, and it is
still falling. The local weather bu-
reau reported that this is twice as
much snow as ever before fell for the
whole month of November,
It will be several days before the
train service will be restored TO its
normal condition.
Being still in the grasp of the biz

this city, Pittsburg today is almost
cut off from the outside world, fioun-
dering in foot of snow. The worst
of the storm today centered around
the lake region, and left large piles
of snow that halted trains. and did
thousands of dollars of damage.
Cleveland is isolated. so far as tel
egraphic service is concerned.
There have been no serious acci-
dents reported to lake ships. but
many scurried into ports seeking
safety.

OUR APPROACHING MUNICIPAL
ELECTION

So far as we know no other than
white candidates have been named
for the offices to be voted for in our
approaching municipal election.
The present mayor only announced
his candidacy for reelection, we are
informed, after several representa-
tive citizens were approached and de-
clined the use of their names for the
mayors office on the ground that
they had not the time to devote to its
duties.
After Mayor Robertson's petition
for reelection had been numerously
signed and duly filed in the office of
the city clerk he was endorsed by the
Young Mems Democratic Club, and
of course that organization is pledg-
ed to his support.
\ petition was also put in circula-
tion and afterwards filed with the city
clerk nominating Mr. Martin j. Ro-
ess and Mr. Clifford NJ. Livingston for
the office of alderman at large. Both
names will appear on the official bal
lot unless they request that their
names be withdrawn.
Mr.. Roess has been endorsed by the
Young Mems Democratic Club, and
that organization is standing behind
his nomination.
Mr. w. A Knight has been solicit
ed TO become a candidate for alder
man from the first ward. and he is
likewise the candidate of the Young
Mems Democratic Club.
Messrs Emmett Robinson and John
Taylor have been nominated by peti-
ton for alderman from the second
ward, and the former has received the
endorsement of the Y. NJ. d. C.
Messrs. J. c. Smith and H. A. Fau-
sett are the candidates for alderman
from the third ward. There are two
vacancies in this ward and both of
said gentlemen have been endorsed
by the Y NJ. d. c.
In the fourth ward Mr.. J. VI. Tolar
and Mr.. A. ]. Leavengood are the Pc
tition candidates and the former by
endorsement of the Y NJ d. c.
Unless these gentlemen voluntarily
withdraw from the race their names,
under the law, will appear on the of
fetal ballot, so it occurs to us that
if the white primary nominates other
candidates than those above named.
and the negroes have any disposition
to put ticket in the field, which We
are loath TO believe, this movement
at this time will complicate matters,
and it is possible for it to defeat the
very object it has in view by put
ting two white tickets in the fled
thereby splitting the white vote.

output valued at more than six hun
dred and twenty-five million dollars.
the cotton mill industry in 1909,
among other big industries in the
United States. ranked third in the
number of persons employed, and
seventh in value OF goods produced.
The above figures, as compiled by
the census bureau, were made public
today
A striking feature of the report was
the discovery that the increase in
manufacturing was much greater in
the south than in the north. The in
dustry is confined almost wholly to
the states east of the Mississippi,
there being only twenty establish
ments reported west or the river.
Massachusetts is considered the
most important state in this indus
try, with North Carolina second
South Carolina third, Rhode Island
fourth. with Georgia. Pennsylvania
New Hampshire, Connecticut and AL
ALBANIA ranking in the order named
The states next in rank in three
states are Alabama. North Carolina
and South Carolina.
OF nearly 10 per cent. OF all the
employees under sixteen years OF age
in the New England states the bu
reau found the percentage of womer
employees much greater in the south.
