'ElOPERS FIGHT
WHIT rSLAvELAW
De|iIah BTad|9y Te''..s Of Love
For J]aI Foster.
WON'T TESTIFY AGAINST Hill
Society Hostesses In Mobile, Ala,
Were Shocked to Learn Their Guests
Were Not Man and Wife.


Shocked as Mobile, Ala, society was
to learn that the "Mr. and Mrs. Eos
ter" it had entertained lavishly were
a girl stenographer and her married
employer, it was even more agltated
to learn the more startling details OF
the romance.
With Joel NJ. Foster, forty-two years
old and wealthy, held for an alleged
violation of the Mann white slave act,
and Miss Delilah Bradley, seventeen
years old and pretty, under guard IN
her fashionable hotel as a material
witness, many a fashionable hostess
in Mobile fears she may have to ap'
pear when Foster is brought to trial.
When Foster and Miss Bradley ar
rived in Mobile his evident wealth and
the girls good looks and refined man
ners completely clouded any suspicion
they were not desirable acquisitions to
the citys society.
With the arrest of Foster for a
technical violation of the white slave
law, the story of their elopement from
Pemberton, N. j., came out.
After his arrest both Foster and
the girl admitted that they were not
married, but intended to be as soon
as the man could be divorced. Both
have so far maintained a defiant atti-
tude.
Reports that neighbors of the girls
parents in Pemberton had made a
threat to tar and feather Foster when
he returned to that own did not seem
to disturb him, and the girl declare
she would stand by him no matter
what happened.
While Foster is out under $4,000 bail
until Jan. IA, the date of the first hear
ing, the girl is under guard at the
fashionable Cawthorne Inn under $500
bail as a material witness. She has re-
peatedly refused to say she was un'
duly influenced to elope from her
home.
81 loved Mr.. Foster the first time l
saw him." she said, "and knew just
as soon he loved me. | was happy
when l was with him and utterly mis-
erable when l was away from him.
Even in my home was longing to be
with him. We couldn't live as we
were in Jersey, so we ran away. He
has been loving and kind and l shall
remain loyal to him no matter what
happens" She says she will not tes-
tify against Foster.
Foster has retained two Of the best
lawyers in Mobile and will make a de-
termined fight. He maintains that the
Mann act applies only to so-calle
white slavers," and that as he eloped
with Miss Bradley, simply because he
loved her and without any attempt to
profit from his acts, it is improper to
accuse him under any such law.
1t is said he will test the power OF
government agents to arrest any man
under the Mann law, unless they can
prove the suspect is actually a white
SLAYER"
Foster and Miss Bradley eloped
from Pemberton early in December,
where the girl was Fosters stenogra-
pher. He was the general manager of
one of the largest chicken farms i'll
the world there, and his father Is the
head of the Scranton, Pa, correspond
ence schools.

all three escaped without serious in

His wife, carrying the baby in her
arms, groped her way through smoke

march doing their cooking and dress
ing their wounds after the battle. It.
is a strange chaotic muddle of broken
precedent that has been precipitated
in this country by the wanton spill
ing of blood
Mexican women have always been
enslaVed by conventionalities. Their
lives were spent largely at home.
They are excellent cooks and take
great pride in preserving the recipes
handed down by their mothers. Their
social life, apart from their husbands,
consists chiefly in formal calls.
When not in a convent or a girls
school the Mexican senorita sews and
embroiders, dreaming always of the
time when she will have a lover.
When she sees youth haunting her
window she puts on her most beau
tiful dress, powders her hair and pins
a flower in her hair and stands by the
window pretending not. to see her
sutton.
This is a true Mexican cOurtship.
If the young man is accepted by the
father, then the girl, guarded always
by a servant or sister, prepares the
rousseau for which the prospective
bridegroom pays.
By virtue of custom it is quite i'm
possible for girls of the rich. class to
work. The women of the poorer class,
however, may gain their livelihood as
stenographers, saleswomen, seam
stresses, nurses, washerwomen or.
servants. They are paid poorly and
work from 10 to II hours day.

EVANS farmer RECALLS
HISTORIC Custer MASSACRE
BY The United Press.

DN INt 1ulltu AANoos
EVANS. Ind, June 26.-Thirty-
eight years ago today General George
A. Custer and 500 of his heroic COM
mand were slaughtered by ten times
their number Of Sioux Indians under
the terrible Sitting Bull. The event
was recalled here today by George
II. welch, 50. formerly an Indian
fighter. now a farmer living two miles
west OF Evans. "Under Captain T..
r. Weir. we were ordered to the rear
by Custer, said Welch. There were
three commands out to round up Sit
ting Bull, who had led his braves OF
their reservation and was causing
trouble Custer miscalculated and
was triclxed into an ambuscade that
left him surrounded by 5000 blood
hungry Indians. The terrible thing
was that we could see the plight Of
Custer and his band, but could not
even help him. After the massacre
we held Sitting Bull on the banks
of the Little Big Horn until rein
forcements came from Ft. Lincoln
Because the Indians held Custer In
such reverence-they called him Big
White Chief-Custer was the only
member Of the band who was slain
that day who was not scalped OF
: otherwise mutilated. One man who
participated in the battle with Gus
ter, alone survives. He Is Curley the
Grow, one Of Clusters scouts.
