one of these now out but gives
thanks to God and the good Samari-
tans who interested themselves in
their welfare.
These Roman prisons that have
been reared largely by generous do
nations from thoughtless Protestants
who imagined they were aiding in
a work Of Christian charity are but
one Of Rome's widely ramiied
agencies for papal enrichment and
the furtherance Of papal power.
The hour has struck for sane,
governmental action which shall
prohibit officials condemning youth
full delinquents to any prison re-
formatory not owned and operated
by the state. This, it seems to the
writer, is imperatively demanded.

that a doctor living in Toledo by
the name Of Christ knew the girl
and that she had worked for him
in his hospital. The doctor was
called up via long distance and re-
quested to come to Detroit, to which
appeal he consented.
Upon the arrival Of DR.. Christ
the party again visited the institu-
ton and demanded, through the
little window with iron bars across
it where the face of a pious sister
appeared, the right to see the girl.
After quite a lengthy parley DR..
Christ was given permission to see
Miss Moor, but he must come in
alone. In the presence of a guardian
sister she told him that she wanted
to get out very badly. He told her
that she could come with him then
if she wanted to, but the watchful
sister protested that such a hasty
departure was wholly uncalled for
and most unusual; that it would be
impossible to get the girl ready be-
fore the next day.
Falsehood and Treachery
The doctor being compelled to
return to his business, made ar
rangements for Mrs. Schilling-..t to
call for the girl the following day.
On the stroke of the hour
agreed upon Mrs. Schilling and her
friends reached the place in Mr..
RosenthaPs automobile. Mrs. Schil-
ling asked for the girl, but the
sister in attendance advised them
that Cora had changed her mind
and decided that she did not want
to leave.
During the discussion and the
insistance Of the party to get from
Miss Moor herself the statement
that she did not want to go with
them, a taxi-cab drove up and a
woman got out. She went into the
building and in a few minutes came
out of another entrance with an
other woman or girl heavily yelled.
The two women got into the cab
and drove away.
The girl with whom the woman
came out was Cora Moor, who, not
knowing Mrs. Schilling, was told
that the woman she accompanied
was the lady who was to come for
her. She was hurried to the inter-

urban station and rushed away to
Toledo.
The determined patriots, not to
be foiled in this manner, employed
the services Of an able attorney who,
through court procedure learned
that Miss Moor was in Toledo in
st. Vincenfs hospital working as a
servant or menial about the place.
How ROme's Slave Was Rescued
The party of patriots arrived in
Toledo late in the evening at q time
when very few persons were about
the hospital. Cora was found
scrubbing floors and before anyone
could interfere they walked out of
the place without stopping to secure
trunk, baggage or even change of
clothing, Of which Heaven knows
the poor girl had little enough at
best.
Here we have a startling example
Of Rome. The "pous" sisters not
only deliberately falsifed, but re-
sorted to shameful act of treachery
so that the "holy church" might con-
tinue to enjoy the benefit of this
slave labor Of one illegally detained.
How H. o. G. S. Educate
Upon the return of the party to
Detroit Miss Moor went to the home
of Mrs. Schilling where she re-
mained for several weeks after which
she went to the home of RoSenthaPs,
where she remained for some time.
HER EDUCATION HAD
BEEN so SLIGHT DURING
THE FOURTEEN YEARS SHE
HAD BEEN AN INMATE OF
THE HOUSE OF THE GOOD
SHEPHERD that she scarcely

spent fourteen years under tho tuts-
lage of the sisters in the slave-driv-
ing sweat shops Of the Roman Cath
olic church, would indicate that the
school facilities Of the Houses Of
the Good Shepherd are somewhat in
adequate.
Among the patriots sufficient
funds were raised to send the girl
away to the Spring Arbor Seminary
in order to save her the embarrass-
ment of having to attend the public

her with punishment if she neglected
the work to which she was assigned.
Mrs. Helen Jackson
Shortly after the agitation had
reached a high pitch, due to the rev.
elations brought out by patriots and
rescued girls, Mrs. Helen Jackson
of Toledo, Ohio, an ex-nun and a
former inmate of this same House
of the Good Shepherd on Fort
street, delivered a series of lectures
in the city. Her simple story of
facts as she knew them stripped the
mask from the hypocritical pretenses
of this un-American sweat shop and
held it up in all Of its ghastly naked
ness that the world might see its
grim reality.
Mrs. JackSon's revelations were
of such a nature that they stirred
the entire city to its very founda-
ton. She convinced those who
heard her that the House Of the
Good Shepherd in Detroit had held
girls against their will without re-
regard for law, in open violation
of it And that they were doing the
same thing at that time.
Earnest patriots interested them
selves in these statements and began
to investigate. They soon learned
that her charges were true. Then
began an aggressive campaign for
the release of such girls as were be-
ing detained without warrant of law
and against their consent.
Among the first SO rescued
through the efforts Of Patriots
Rosenthal, Frank De Long and
Others was a girl by the name of
Mary La Matre. Through her it
was learned that Others were illegal
ly detained and robbed of rightful
freedom for which they passionately
longed.

schools where her size and age and
ignorance of school work would
make her the brunt of ridicule
among the first and second reader
tots with whom she would be asso-
ciated.
1t seemed, however, that misfor-
tune relentlessly followed in the
wake Of the poor wretched girl.
Shortly after her admission to the
school she became ill and had to
undergo an operation. After this
ordeal she returned to her friends.
In a short time she found a pleas
ant position in the home Of DR..
Hamilton on the boulevard where
she was employed in doing house
work.
Wanted To Find Sister
During the underfed, dwarfed
and tragic life Of this pathetic child
she had seen her only sister but
once. She had understood that she
was an inmate of one Of Rome's
institutions somewhere. She called
up the House of the Good Shep-
herd here in Detroit upon various
occasions and endeavored to learn
her sisters whereabouts. Upon each
occasion she was urged to come and
see the sisters at her former prison
but was warned by her friends to
never risk returning alone.
Re-taken by Rome's SIavers
On a warm Sunday the past sum-
mer she disappeared from the home
of DR.. Hamilton and when night
came she failed to return. The next
morning a search was made and
she was located in the House of
the Good Shepherd, the institution
where her life had been wrecked
and ruined.
Mrs, Rosenthal and daughter,
Ruth, with many misgivings i'm
mediately visited the place. Upon
seeing their friendly faces the eyes
of the unfortunate victim filled with
tears and she requested them to
please get her released. They as
sured her that they were there
for that purpose and that she could
accompany them if she wished.
She was then led away by one Sis
ter Theresa, ostensibly to get her
hat. Within a short time she re-
turned to the barred window and
with the sister standing beside her,
as is always the custom, she re-
tracted her words and told them
she preferred remaining there for
the present.
Saddened and sorrowful the two
earnest women, mother and daugh-
ter, took their departure and from
that day to this not one of them
has heard a word from or seen the
unfortunate, helpless orphan girl,
Cora Moor. Several later attempts
were made by patriots to rescue her
without result.
Upon one occasion, Mr.. Rosen-
thai and wife, Mrs. Schilling, Mr..
McCorkindale, two others, and o.
Hansen, equipped with a special
deputy sheriff's commission, visited
the institution with the avowed in
tention to taking the girl by force
if opportunity offered. This was on
July 22nd, 1916. They were met
in the lobby of the building by
armed Romish defenders and Han
sen was forced to draw his pistol
for protection.
The attempt at rescue failed and
Hansen and RoSenthal were arrested
for disturbing the peace which con.

Cora Bell Moor

Particularly was this true of a
girl named Cora Bell Moor. Getting
all the information from Miss La
Matre available, committee made
up of Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Schilling,
De Long and Rosenthal, visited the
place and inquired for the girl.
They were denied an interview on
the grounds that they did not know
Cora Bell Moor, nor she them.
From some source it was learned

There is probably no more rigid
form Of servitude in America than
that which is suffered by these help
less child inmates of the House of
the Good Shepherd.
Since the agitation against this
institution began in 1915 which
forced a whitewash investigation by
the State Board of Corrections and
Charities giving to this House of
the good Shepherd through Rom
ish membership and influence, a
Clean bill Of health, there have been
at least a dozen illegally held in
mates rescued. The place has also
improved somewhat in its treatment
of the girls, although at the present
time there is not a laundry, factory
or prison in Detroit which is not
preferable to life in this institution.
The sole reason for the improved
conditions is the wholesome fear of
a real and thorough Investigation by
tho aroused Protestant element in
the city.
Miss Julia Kucharske
Miss Julia Kucharske, who was
known in the House Of the Good
Shepherd as "Julia Baker," having
recently secured her freedom, in
formed the writer that children and
girls in this institution have no
privacy and are herded together in
large rooms like sheep or cattle
where they sleep on cots, fifty to the
room. They are never permitted to
step outside of the grounds of the
institution. Inmates who were il
legally held have been taken out
who, during their imprisonment of
five, seven and ten years, have never
been outside Of the grounds.
One woman, forty-two years Of
age known as Louisa had been
in this Fort street prison for 21
years. She had forgotten her name
and didn't know what a pet house

not knowing the difference between
pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
She Was not an idiot or imbecile
and wouId have been an intelligent
capable woman had she been given

The Miss Kurcharske, above re-
ferred to, used to iron all day at a
large table over which she was COM
PEELED to reach and stretch until it
seemed that the very bones and
muscles would be torn from her
body. She pleaded with the SISTER

work for short time at least as
her feet were blistered and she was
beginning to have hemorrhages. The
"gentle and meek" sister accused
her of being lazy and threatened

Rosenthal was found guilty but
sentence suspended.
Other attempts have been made
to get in touch with Miss Cora but
up to the present time they have
been without avail. The heroic and
splendid efforts Of these patriots to
rescue from the tolls Of Romish
tyranny this long suffering and
helpless orphan child have noty
however, been without results. They
haze awakened the people to the
&ormity in a part, at least, of Whdt

herd"
1t is said that Cora Moor is at
present confined in a sanitarium for
the feeble-minded somewhere in the
state. Patriots who have interested
themselves in the cases would not
be surprised if they should find
ample proof that such is the case, es-
pecially since she has already suf-
fered so grievously. Their search for
her, however, has not been abandoned
and it is still the hope of some that
she will at last be rescued and saved
from her terrible condition Of servi-
tude.

INVESTIGATE
 ING SUSPICIOUS FIRES

Little Rock, July 25.-Bruce Bull lion, state fire marshal, reports that H. M. Blumenthal, of Forrest City, a chiropractor, was bound over at Wynn on charge of arson. It is alleged that he burned building which he used at Wynne as a residence and office when he was in that city. Court will convene in September, at which time the case will be called.
 The department has completed 12 investigations of suspicious fires up to the present time, and has three more cases in progress. While it is difficult to secure direct cases in arson cases, strong circumstances have en- abled the fire marshal and his assist ants to clear up several cases. Last week at Hot Springs, six cases of arson and one of murder were brought against white man, and one case of arson against a negro, indictments being returned by the grand jury.
 Whenever a request is made by the prosecuting attorney or other proper authorities, an investigation is made of any suspicious fire.
