On the following day they went to the
hotel, the woman was i'll in bed with a

cried and begged one Of the girls to
stay with her, saying she felt so for

ner and to the theater, and refused to
stay, but offered to get a trained
nurse. The physician replied that it
was hardly a sufficiently serious ILL
ness for nurse, but that she really
did need friend and urged the girl
to stay with her. The girl did not
stay, but later in the DAY called at the
hotel to inquire how the sick woman
went up and returning, said he guessed
she must be better, as they were
laughing and talking in the room. The
following day the girls went to a
picture show and as they came up to
the window to buy their tickets, they
met the woman CD face to face,
dressed in mems clothes and unques-

girls and knowing that they recogniz-

crowd. A few minutes later in the
lobby Of the theatre they met the
"physician" who also did the vanish

ito the mayor Of the city and to the
Y. M. G. A. secretary, who reported it
to the police. The investigation which
followed proved that these men were
in the white slave traffic.

A MOVEMENT to establish a
central State University at Little
Rock or in some central Arkan-
sas County is now demanding
consideration. The idea is for
Pulaski County or any other
central county to vote upon
themselves a bond issue of from
a million and a half to two
two million dollars for the pur-
pose of building and establishing
the University and presenting il
to the State free of charge as a
Central University. On the
face of it, it sounds good.
