ance which requires such an agent to
pay the city $1,000 for license.
The arrest was made just before the
steamer City of Montgomery sailed
from the Ocean Steamship terminals
for New York. Nineteen colored boys,
who claim to be college students, were
held by the police as witnesses. The
boys were taken at the terminals just
as they were about to board the ship.
Ten others had gotten aboard before
the police arrived on the scene.
Butler was bailed out in the sum OF
S1,500, of which $500 was fixed for
the state offense and $1,000 for violat-
ing the city ordinance. The bail of
each of the nineteen boys was fixed at
800 and was secured by James A.
Martin, pastor of st. Paul's Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church. Buffers
case will come up in police court this
morning.
Sheriff Merritt w. Dixon was called
in consultation by the police author
tiles when Butler was arrested and
will be in court this morning whei
the case is called.
Butler claims to be the agent of the
National League on Urban Conditions
among the negroes and he explains the
contract which the negro boys signed
while students at various colleges in
this section. OF the nineteen boys
subponead by the police three are
residents of Georgia, coming from Ell
berton, Atlanta and Kelly. These
three are students at Paine College in
Augusta. The others come from Allen
University, the South Carolina state
college at Orangeburg, and from Bene-
dict College.
The boys were to be taken from New

the tobacco fields of the Connecticut
valley from Suffield, Conn, to Wheat
ley Mass. They were to be paid So a
day for work and on piece work they
were told they would make form $1.75
t. $1.25 a day.
The league claims that it will give
employment to the boys until October
1, after which it will see that they get
transportation as far south as Norfolk.
1t is proposed to get this money for
transportation by taking $5 out of the
first weeks wages, four dollars out of
the second and thre dollars each
succeeding week until the required
amount is collected

negro farm hand to the city Saturday

the man, and furnished an intelligent
description.
Reports from over the county indi-
cate that the parties have been operat-

will soon need every available la
borer to help gather the cotton crop.
Hints of violence have even been
suggested in certain quarters in the
county, if the party is caught.
The police are working en- situa-
tion which Chief of Police Johnson de-
sscribes as more difficult to fathom
than blind tigers" The silence of
the negroes adds difficulty to the
struggles of the officials in an effort
to apprehend the parties responsible.
Several negroes who have returned
from Tennessee and South Carolina
tell stories of situations very different
from the tales being told by the agents
One negro stated that he went to South
Carolina on a promise of wages of

"DABY CARRYING

rier" business between the United
States and Japan. The essence of the
idea is the bringing to japan of jap
anese babies born in the United Sta
ties in order that they may be brought
up in this country and receive their
education here.
Over three thousand babies, it is
estimated, are born every year to
Japanese families In California. Many
families r anxious to have their
children reared in Japan but are H.
~nancially unable to bring the babies
home. Consequently hundreds of
babies are brought here by carriers.
On each trip the carrier-a Japanese
man or a Japanese man and his wife
brings from five to fifteen babies,
and distributes them in all parts Of
the empire, usually at the home of
the grandparents. Masumi YOshimi,
one of those who conceived the car
rier project, says he does not find
the work troublesome. On arrival
at Yokohoma he engages a sufficient
number OF nurses to look after the
babies in the train and then follows
a carefully prepared itinerary. "The
only danger" he said, "is mixing up
the babies, but | have solved that by
keeping an Identification card con
stantly tied around the neck of each
child"
