GIRL ACCUSING COUPLE As
S[AVERS ASSERTS SHE
WAS GIVEN DRUG IN Drink

Shrinking from the gaze of the
crowds that had gathered in the court
of Federal Judge w. T. Newman, An
ME Wooley, a pretty brunette of 10
years, related Tuesday a story of be-
ing drugged and forced into a life of
white slavery.
She pointed out Samuel Stoe and
lis wife, Annie Stoe, the defendants
in the case, as the couple who DELHI
erately had brought shame upon her
and then had taken her from city to
city to profit by her disgrace
She had met Stoe in Atlanta about
a week before the trip was made she
said She testified that Mrs. Stoe ap-
peared pleasant and friendly and that
she had no reason to suspect her de-
signs when she invited her TO come
out to the Stoe house.
Drank Dragged Beer.
Mr. Stoe came for me-" she said
and we started for his home | did
not know where they lived and he
took me instead to a rooming house,
where he had me drink some beer.
The beer was drugged and l did not
recover my senses until the following
morning.
After this / was compelled to go
with them to Birmingham, Montgom-
cry, Tuscaloosa and Admission, Ala.
All of the money l turned over to

Samuel Stoe's case was called first.
About twenty witnesses were in court

Stoe and his wife Of violating the

NEW LOCKER CLUB
LICENSES WANTED

With the prohibition situation in
Atlanta becoming more acute daily,
the Council Police Committee, after
several delays, will on Thursday be-
gin its investigation of applications
of locker clubs for licenses for 1914.
Despite the determined fight of an
organized element in the city against
the clubs, which many claim is back
ed by the recent decision of the Court
of Appeals, some half a dozen appli-
cations for license will be made by
new clubs, and ali the old clubs will
ask that their licenses be renewed.
Chairman A. r. Colcord, of the Po
lice Committee, said Tuesday he did
not consider 1t the duty of the Police
Committee to interpret the Court of
Appeals decision as applying to At
lanta clubs. He said the Police Com
mittee would require obedience of the
clubs to city ordinances, but that if
the clubs did not conform to the law
it was the duty of the city police and
State authorities to make cases
against them.

OTTLEY To HEAD
CHAMBER BANK
COMM TEE
Other Important Chairmanships
Filled by President M. R.
Wilkinson.

Nell r. Wilkinson, president of the

four more chairmen of committees
Tuesday.
These are important committees"

graduating myself on my own selec-
tons. l know what these men can
do, and l know they are going to do
1t. Here are the selections:
John X. Ottley Is to be chairman
of the committee on banking. Mr..
Ottley is as well versed on banking
matters as any other man know, and
he knows how to apply his knowledge.
He is a member of a city committee
which | consider the creme de "a
creme of committees appointed in re-
cent years in Atlanta-the joint COM
mittee from the Chamber of Com
merce and the Clearing House Asso-
citation.
Frank NJ Inman, last year chair
man of the cotton trade committee IS
to head the committee on housing aud
sanitation this year. Those were sep
arate committees last year. but | be-
lieve it wise to consolidate them. Mr..
Inman is deeply interested in housing
problems and brings a wide and prac-
teal experience to the work.
"W, J. Lowenstein is to continue as
chairman of the public safety COM
mittee. l really don't see how anyone
could fill the place better.
"A. p. Coles, vice president of the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
has been named chairman of the COZ
ton trade committee. He is one of the
best posted men in the South on the
handling OF cotton.
81 don't mind saying that | repose
vast confidence in these men. They
will select their own committees, sub
ject to a conference with the Cham
Der of Commerce, in order that the
same members may not be picked to
serve on several committees"
