MUSHROOM, May 10. GAN
P)-The northern Transvaal Sec
tor of the country has been visit
ed with a large scale brutal traf-
fic in human lives which is caus-
ing a reign of terror and defying
efforts of South African police to
quash, it was disclosed here re-
Gently. The traffic in slaves,
characterized by kidnapping, vio-
lence, assault and murder, is be-
ing carried on by Highveld gangs,
known as "blackbirders", in a
manner reminiscent of the old
slave traders on the African coast.
These blackbirders seize, wan
dering natives and sell them as
laborers to the highest bidders.
Native farmer workers, migrants
from Central Africa, all fall vic
tim to the depredations of the
slave tradeds and their runners. :
In the MUSHROOM magistrates
court, there are records of cases
in which migrants have been way
laid and placed in makeshif camps
on the border under threat of vi
olence; incidents where runners
and blackbirders impersonate po-
lice and take documents and mon
ey carried by natives, and also
cases Of straightforward robbery.
The methods used by the black
birders are described as being
crude, cruel and violent. Trickery
and bluff form a large part of the
technique. Usually, the blackbird
ers approach native farm hands
or migrants with a plausible offer

For the second time within a

taken Dayton women for a ride

cording to Mrs. Elnora Stone, 1852
w. First St., who yesterday amid
tears and worry told the police
how she was taken for a ride in
the oldest o game of the ages.
According to the victim, she was
in the vicinity of Third and Main
st. yesterday, when she met a
woman who called her attention
to a man in the act Of picking up
a billfold. The new acquaintance
urged Mrs. Stone to go and see
what the man had found as he
attracted the attention of the pair

was in the pocketbook, replied.

A super smooth sales package,

television sports contracts of all

reason that Chicago was chosen
as site for the Ezzard Charles-Joe
Walcott heavyweight title fight

the international Boxing Club
chose Chicago for the simplest of
reasons-namely: that it couldn't

Century and CBS-Tournament Of
Champions held sway.
But new developments have in

Hen House"
Through contact with authorities
of American folk tunes, including
Duncan Emmerich, of the Library of
Congress, the author learned the fid-
die tune was unknown to the various
official collections, indicating the
tune was native to Garrett county,
and particularly to Meadow Mountain.
Rev. Robinson explained that the
ballad in connection with the pageant,
is to function in the original Anglo
Saxon way Not only the Minstrel
narrator, but the chorus, the dance
ensemble, and the instrumental en-
semble combine to tell the story.

intimate association with world per-
sonalities who have lived here as
migrating birds during the summer
season. Oakland's history is of
variegated hues, and filled with dra-
