Manhattan Motion Picture Co., of New
York City, arrived in the city yester-
day to complete the final arrangements
for the taking ond making of two
reel motion pivcture, "The Trans
gressor," which will be shown at the

A lot of interest will be centered

hundred or more people used in the

"The Transgressor" is a strong
melo- dramatic movie with a clever

Turley, who has pleased the entire
world with her clever movie stories,
which most all of you have seen on the
screen.
In completing arrangements with the
Manhattan Motion Picture Co, to
make and stage a picture here, and
then exhibit it to his patrons, Mr.. Dud-
ley is offering the city treat, one
which should be appreciated and well

it to the public at very slight adj
vance in price in addition to his regu-
lar program.

FULTON WILL NOT
APPROPRIATE MONEY

ATLANTA, Ca, April 29.-Although
Fulton county, through appointment by
Judge Ben H. Hill, of Fulton Superior
court, has furnished Victor E. Innes
land his wife two of the ablest lawyers
An the state of Georgia to defend them
in their trial on charges of larceny af-
ter trust in connection with the mys-
ferrous disappearance of the helms
sisters, the county will not appropriate
money to bring evidence from Texas
or Oregon for the purpose of estab-
fishing an alibi for the defendants.
Approaching the fact that they will,
iii sense, be accused of the murder
of Beatrice and Eloise helms, though
nominally on trial for larceny after
trust Innes and his wife have planned
to make the defense that Innes knew
Eloise helms only as her lawyer in the
state of Utah while securing her d.
vorce from her husband, and that he
mad absolutely no dealings with her
after the divorce verdict was obtained.
In order to support this contention,
it was the plan, it is stated, of Innes,
to deny that either himself or his wife
were ever in Atlanta previous to their
present sojourn here, and to deny that
either Of them ever had any communi-
cation with Eloise helms or Beatrice
helms, after the divorce suit in Utah.
To this end, it is stated, Innes in
tended to attempt to establish an alibi
by showing that he was in Oregon, or
Texas, at the time he is accused of be-
ing in Atlanta, and owing to his i'm
poverished financial condition it was
necessary for Fulton ciunty to pay the
iexpense of securing interrogatories, re-
cords, etc, if such evidence were to be
introduced
1t was made known yesterday, how
ever, by the board of county commits
sioners that they will make no appro-
priation for such an expenditure.

India Receives Intention
Of Viceroy With Pleasure

DELHI, India, April 2S.-The Gov
ernment's announcement that it in
tends to abolish the system of Indian
indentured labor, made through the
Viceroy few days ago, has been re-
ceived with great satisfaction through
out India. The announcement applies
to the large shipments of coolie labor
which are annually sent to Jamaica,
Trinidad, British Guiana, Fiji, and
Dutch Guinia.
Indian feeling on the subject has
for many years condemned the in den
ture system. No argument as to it's
possible economic advantages weighed
against the feeling of educated Indians
that it degraded India in the eyes of
the world. Recent reports showing the
social degeneration caused by the pau
city of women emigrating and also the
number of suicides among the coolies
have caused painful impression.
Students of Indian conditions have
long maintained that there is abund-
ant scope in India for all available la
Dor, and emigration is no longer one
Of midas necessities.
How soon the governments promise
of abolition will be put into effect is
yet a matter of doubt. The Viceroy
stated that the existing system of re-
cruiting must be maintained until the
new conditions could be worked out
and reasonable time had been given
the communities which depend on this
labor to adjust themselves to the
change.
''No one who knows anything of In
dian sentiment can remain ignorant OF
the deep and genuine feeling to which
the continuance of the indenture sys-
tenn has given rise" said the Viceroy in
his announcement. Educated Indians
look on it as slavery or serfdom. This
will soon be removed forever, and it
is source of deep satisfaction to me
that one Of the last official acts 1 shall
have to perform in this country is to
tell you that | have been able to do
something to ensure that Indians who
desire to work as laborers in tropical
countries may do so under happier
conditions, and to obtain from His
Majestys Government a promise that
iii due course the whole system which
educated opinion in India has long re-
garded as intolerable, will be abolish.
