Alleged white slave operations in
open court have put a girl in Jail and
caused the citing of two men before
Judge Bowles. The affair may result
in some long Jail sentences.
The following story told by Asst
States Atty John Herren reads like
fiction.
Mrs. Lucille Special was convicted
several months ago in Judge Bowles'
court for larceny. She got six
months in the Bridewell.
Chas. Kreten, bailiff in the court,
showed a great interest in the wo-
man during her trial. -.
A month after the sentence he told
the Judge that he had found Henry
Huerckes, 1904 Ada street, the wo-
mans uncle, who would take care of
her if she was freed.
They were given a hearing, and,
according to Herren, .Huerckes said
he was the girls uncle.
The story sounded good to the
Judge and she was paroled.
On Aug. the woman was taken

in a raid on a disorderly hotel. She
told Chief Justice Olsen that when
she was paroled to HuerCkes through
the work of Kreten, the bailih, she
was placed in a rooming house on w.
Madison street, where HuerCkes Wis
tied her often.
She denied all this at first hear
ing yesterday and was charged with
perjury by Judge Bowles.
Huerckes and Kreten viii be sum-
moned for contempt.
That similar practices are common
in the criminal courts is the charge
of Judge John w. Houston, head Of
the probation Office.
Such conditions are the result of
mixing politics in the criminal
courts said the Judge. MANY bail
ifs have been doing favors for long
time by getting prisoners of on pro.
baton or seeing to it that they are
released with a light fine. This is the
result of a political regime in the
courts. Many of the bailiffs take
money for these favOrs and such
practices are criminal"

MRS. v. N. FLEMING
DIED LAST THURSDAY

Mrs. w. Nj. Fleming passed away
at dawn last Thursday after an i'll
ness of five weeks She was only
20 years old and was Miss Eliza
beth Hardeman, the third daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. j w. Hardeman.
She had been married only three
years and was fair and girlish and
seemed sweetly sleeping as she lay
in her white casket, robed in SOFT
white silk and clasping white flow
ers in her hands. She had known
only the beautiful May days of life
and has been spared the evil days of
sorrow that often come with passing
years.
All her dear ones comforted her
and attended her constantly during
her illness and everything possible
was done to relieve her suffering.
The funeral service was conduct
ed by her pastor. Rev G. w. Duval
at the Methodist church Friday ut
2 p. m. Mrs. c. p. Stephens was at
the organ and the singers were Miss
Mary Atkinson, Miss Allene Fields,
Mr. Hugh Manning and Mr.. George
Byerle. The hymns were "In the
Christians Home in Cory, The
Lord is My Shepherd, Sometime
Wen Understand" and abide With
Me-.
She was laid to rest in the city
cemetery, the second one of the fam
lily, and many beautiful flowers in
various designs covered the grave.
The pall-bearers were N. J. Horn.
Guy Roberts, Dempsey Medford, Her.
bert Clay, Howard Northcutt and
Harold Hawkins.

The Journal feels that the Ameri-

before, will be able to meet the situ-

urges every farmer, working man,
merchant and banker to attend every
meeting in his neighborhood rela-

must be faced alike by everybody
and to do what they can to help
themselves and their country.

EVERYBODY INTERESTED
IN COTTON SITUATION
President Wilson Joins The

Movement.

There is no fixed market for cot
ton on account of the exchanges
and markets being closed because OF
the war in Europe. All over the
South various plans are being inaug-
urated to help dispose of the crop.
NO definite plan has yet been de-
cided upon by the banks and mer-
chants Of Marietta. The situation
will be taken up at meeting which
has been called by Judge ]. NJ. Gam,
at the request of a number of par
ties interested and which will be
held at the Court House here at 10
o'clock a. m. on Saturday, Septem
Der 18th.
The call is as follows:
ITO the People of Cobb County
BY request of a great many citi-
zens, l hereby call a meeting of the
farmers, merchants, bankers AMI
others interested in the present crop
of cotton, as we'll as the curtailment
of that of next year. Said meeting

purpose of discussing the conditions
that confront us at this time. Let

The movement that is probably
creating the most interest and which
is apparently meeting with some sue
cess is the Buy a Bale of Cotton
plan started in Atlanta. The idea is
for every one who is able to buy a
bale of cotton at ten cents a pound
and hold it until it will either bring
that amount or more Hundreds of

Des Moines, Nov. 16. - Information
reaches here from Hardin county that
representatives of the county account
ing division of the state are again in
that county making final check up
on the business methods CT the county
officials and board = of supervisors
with a view to determine what shall
be done to straighten out the tangle
due to carelessness in handling the
county business. A representative Of
the attorney generals office has also
had hand in directing what shall be
done.
1t seems that the leakage In county
funds has been due to continuation Of
the old slipshod methods which pre-
vailed in almost every county formerly
but which have been abandoned under
the new and mort stringent laws. The
county board has allowed bills without
having them properly verified and
without any knowledge Of their cor
rectness. In some cases bills were al
lowed in lump sums for alleged work
without indicating where or when the
work was done, but merely on the re-
quest of some one. Another thing that
was done that has caused much of the
trouble has been the habit, which is
contrary to law, of having bills allowed
payable to the county engineer ostensi-
bly, to be paid over to workmen. but
without any detailed information as to
who should get the money or for what
reason. 1t has been found, for instance.
that bills were allowed at a rate Of IS
day when the workman actually re-
ceived a less sum. or at least that
seems to be the situation. Then it Is

FAIL TO AGREE ON LAW CHANGE.
Merchants Of State and Labor Unions
Not in Accord.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 16.-It is learned
that no agreement was reached at the
important conference held here last
week between the representatives of
the labor unions Of Iowa and the rep
resentatives Of the retail merchants
association in regard to bill for a
change in the law as to exemption Of
wages from attachment for debts.
The merchants want all exemptions
to be removed from wage earners.
Various bills have been prepared and
have been placed before the legislature
looking to wiping out the present
wage exemption. Always these bills
have been defeated because they dis
criminate against wage earners and
leave exemptions on many others.
The representatives of organized Ia
Dor have signified willingness to have
the wage exemptions wiped out pro-
vided all other exemptions from exc
cution are abolished. They say they
do not want the wages of the poor
man to be subject to attack while the
money or the property of rich man is
exempt from such attack. If an agree
ment can be reached for the abolition
of all exemptions of every kind it is
possible the next general assembly will
