BRYN MAWR GRADUATE
TRAPS WHITE SLAVERS
Mrs. Joseph A. Bryant Rouses
Court With Story of De-
tective Work

Mrs Joseph A. Bryant, of Boston, wide
Unknown sociological investigator and
graduate OF Bryn Mawr College, startled
even the hardened hangers-on of Gem
eral Sessions Court in New York before
Judge Mulqueen, yesterday, by her de-
scription Of how she posed as the keeper
Of disorderly house to trap white slave
operators.
With Detective Enright, head of the
ntted up iat. She went into Harlem's s
Little Italy as Madam Wallace" and
there met Ralph Guarano, Joseph Spotta
and George Spicca. By arrangement the
three met her later at the fiat. Mrs. Bry-
ant painted the detectives eye black and
he told them he had been in a fight
Cigarette stumps were scattered about
the floor, together with empty wine
bottles. Mrs. Bryant told the white
slavers she wanted to buy some girls.
She testified that the three accepted $50
IN marked money after bringing five girls
to the fiat. Spotta and Spicca confessed
and pleaded guilty when confronted with
the evidence. The trial of Guarano. who
pleaded not guilty. Is continuing today.
Since her graduation, Mrs Bryant has
been student of sociology. She has done
considerable work for the Federal au-
thorities In connection with the white
slave investigation in Porto Rico and
elsewhere Deputy Police Commissioner
Lord engaged her last May to collect evil
dence against the white slavers OF New
York.
It was denied at Bryn Mawr College to-
day that Mrs. Bryant had ever attended
that institution. The secretary of the col
iege said that the lists of married alumni
did not contain the name of Mrs. Bryant
she also said that the lists were complete.

DAY OFF ENDS IN HOSPITAL
Man Gathers Mushrooms" Eats EN-

william Brester spent a delightful day
in the country. He frolicked among the
woodlands and, as the poets say, drank
in with rapture the inspiring autumn
breezes. Incidentally. William picked
mushrooms" He Is now doing nicely

Brester, who is a trolley car conductor.
living at 6653 Woodland avenue, got tired
of car bells and nickel fares and decided
to spend day gathering mushrooms.
Through the hills and dales of Darby
he gamboled, picking the innocent mush-
rooms hither and thither. They grew
few and far between and he returned
home at night tired and weary. His
mother cooked them for him. and three
quarters of an hour later he was resting
on a comfortable hospital cot, suffering
from toadstool poisoning. Doctors said

there. Sir William says, nothing grew in
the garden except date palms, vines and
alfalfa.
They subsisted on dates and everything
went along happily until Eve found how
to make wine out of the grapes. and then
she wasn't satisfied until she had Adam
drinking It. He grew dissatisfied with
dates as soon as he became addicted to
drink, and 1t is Sir Williams idea that
Adam and Eve left the garden to try to

sion in the desert into q lake. The ancient
Egyptians built an enormous dixie from
the lake to the Nile. which, made the en-
tire country fertile. but the dixie became
the cause Of constant strife between the
kings Of upper and lower Egypt.
Joseph. who had been Imprisoned BY
cna Of the pharaohs Of lower Egypt. was
more intelligent than his captors and
realized that eventually feet from the
upper Nile would come down and cut the
dixie. The water would all dow into the
great dspressions and . loas famine
would result.
Joseph figured that the upper kings
couldn't get their fleets ready for the
successful attack for seven years. and
upon his urgent advice his eaptors began
storing mp grain against the evil day when
the famine would come. His words were
prophetic. and whGd the dixie was cap
tured ana cut and the famine came the
people Of lower Egypt were ready for Il.

Of the Garden of Eden were true neither
Adam nor Eve would have left 1t.
The flood. which made Noah's repu-
tation as the first skipper, has been du-
plicated often in the Mississippi valley,
Sir William says. Furthermore. the ark
never rested on top Of Mount Ararat. The
flood story and many other biblical tales
which Sir william thinks are far from
the truth have resulted from mistakes
by the translators in trying to decipher
languages that had long been dead when
the first books Of the Bible were written.
Sir william believes that the translators
were entirely honest in their Intentions.
but because Of their mistakes the world
has been grossly deceived.

Mesopotamia Sir William discovered the

and Inundated the valley in which Adam
lived. All the settlers for many miles
around hurried over to Noah's to take
refuge in his ark and when the floods
receded the ark remained In the valley.
Sir William claims that the ancient
food sufferers really thought the inunda-
tion had covered the entire world, and
they commenced building high towers to
escape future foundations. The Tower of
Babel was one of the first Of these. and
while It was under way the people from
the snrfeunding countries al rushed
there for safety In case Of another flood.
Naturally there were, many languages
spoken and confusion of tongues was
the result. This led the tower builders
to believe that God had sent q confusion
Of tongues because he was angry over the
penetration Of the towers into heaven.

Sir William believes that one of ths

was to have Moses leading the children

all his forces. The fight was short and

land.
Botha made himself conspicuous for

territory was taken over by the South
