WHITES SOLD AS
 MOROCCO SLAVES
While Cases Are Few, A. P. Man
 Finds Report Is True

Melilla, Morocco, April IS, (By the Associated Press)-Slavery and trad ing in slaves still flourish in the un- conquered districts of both. the French and Spanish zones of Moroc- co. There have been stories that some of the slaves are white people but these reports are not borne out by inquiry.
 Threats by the turbulent Moors of the Riff coast to sell into slavery Spanish sailor boy. Francisco Sallud, unless his father with whom he had been wrecked and captured paid a ransom of 4,000 pesetas, led The As sociated Press correspondent to make an inquiry into the question of the existence of enslaved white people in northern Africa.
 The result of his inquiries shows that of recent years instances of white" people being sold into slavery have been very rare, but there are slave markets for the sale and pur- chase of colored people in the dis tricts to which French or Spanish rule have not reached
 The traffic varies according to the economic situation or the tribesmen who. when they are in funds, do not hesitate to give high prices for slaves to be used as servants Slaves so pur- chased become personal property of the family into which they are bought and are disposed of by testa- ment when the proprietor dies. !
 However. it is customary for the purchaser to make a formal agree ment before competent legal au- thority to grant his slave lis liberty on his masters death. when the heirs have to give up all claim and at the same time to allow the liber- ated slave to live. on and a cultivate any portion of his dead masters land which may have been left to him as one of the family.
 slave-owner may give his slave wife from among his other slaves bought in the same way and the chill dren of these marriages become slaves of the same owner unless he has signed the agreement already men toned in connection with their par ents.
 The prices paid for slaves vary con- siderably. Generally the age is the chief consideration but, girl slaves, beauty cdlIS TOT the nlgneSt prlCeS. Seven hundred and fifty pesetas (about s100 at the present rate of ex- change) is about the maximum fig-, ure ever paid-and this only in the case of very young and handsome girl. Should the human merchandise have passed the age of 35 or 40, the price paid is around about 400 peso tas, never more.
 All purchases> are made condition ally on the slaves proving satisfactory. A close examination is made of the slaves mouth to see whether he or she possesses complete set of teeth. Proofs are required that the slave is neither weaksighted nor deaf and dumb, while limbs are tested and muscles tried and every part of the body subjected to minute inspection in order to discover physical de- fects. le
 For women slaves three days trial of their domestic aptitudes is demand ed before the purchase is completed.
 Such are the conditions of the slave trade in Morocco at the present day. and this is the fate from which Francisco Sallud escaped, probably by the payment of part of the ransom demanded, although exact informa- tion as to the transaction is unavail- able.

mans relatives and the manager OF the
firm by which he was employed spent
the day yesterday assisting in any way
which they could In aiding the authorities
in the search, but no amount of effort
seems to make the mystery which sur
rounds his disappearance any clearer.
The bottom of the bay around the
wharf near which the car was found was
dragged yesterday. the officers thinking
perhaps that the body of the man could
be found If he had met with foul play
and had been thrown into the bay, but
nothing could be found.
The police have checked up every
movement OF the man from the time he
left the Georgia city and have exercised
particular diligence in tracing his move
meats while in the city and are hoping
yet to clear up the situation.
The strange actions of the two men who
were with Rogers when last seen and
also their sudden disappearance are be-
ing closely followed up by the authorities
but they cannot be found. Developments
proved that they had arranged for rooms
at boarding house on East ZarTagossa
street. but that after arranging for the
rooms they left with Rogers and have
not been seen since. or at least so far
all efforts to locate either of them have
been in vain.

UNKNOWN MAN ROBS
EMPLOYEE
&. A. GuIliott Is Held Up and Relieved
of $500 Yesterday Morning.

An unknown white men held up e. A.
GuiIlott, a postoffice employee, yesterday
morning on Gonzalez street, as he was
on his way to work, and robbed him of
SIS in currency and about 81 in small
change. Mr.. Guillott said he was walking
along not thinking of anybody attempt
ing such a thing when a man appeared
from behind a tree nearby and ordered
him to put up his hands, but thinking
probably he might make the fellow
change his mind told him that he did
not have time. But evidently he had to
take time for the man drew gun and
repeated his request. Guillott complied,
instantly, 80 he said.
The hold-up first made his victim turn
his back to him and after ascertaining
that GuiIlott carried no gun, went
through his pockets with the above mem
toned result After having procured the
cash the man made Guillott hold up his
hands until the street car was within
about a block and then ordered him to
catch it. He was at work on time. At
the last account no arrests had been
made.
