CONVICTS AS SLAVESlURGES INVESTIGATION

Agencies Caued Paroled Men To Become Practical Peons, COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING Juliet. 111.. April 1 1. -From prison to freedom - and slavery! That is the path declared to have been followed by many paroled convicts, which (he legislative committee is preparing to trace today. At the end of the search, if the agencies which cause the paroled men to become practical peons, are discovered, and the act is found to be criminal then there will be indictments demanded, and what is declared to be an abuse of the parole law, will be ended. Whether the disclosures will reach any person now in office in connection with the penitentiary or the state board, is not known. Officials of the prison, who admit that many prisoners find slavery, not freedom on their release, declared the fact was accomplished in spite of prison authorities. The committee is in possession of letters containing complaints indicating that small employers in Chicago and elsewhere did not permit conscientious scruples to prevent them from squeezing the last ounce of strength from a paroled prisoner and giving in return practically no wages.

and he is now trying to becure two experienced men w ho can add battin; strength to the club. The bunch of recruits .Jessup now has on hand, appears to be weak in this department of the game. Clark, the big backstop recruit, hit hard yesterday, and threw to the ba.se;: nicely. Undsley also worked well for the colts back of the bat. In the handicap billiard tournament just ended, at the Simmons billiard room. W. C. Hibberd with a handicap of fifty, defeated Frank Braffett for the championship of the city.

County Treasurer Myrick yesterday had the biggest day of the tax paying season thus far. The fact that, under the new depository law the treasurers of all counties in the State cannot accommodate tax payers by holding out r ceipts for persons after the final day for paying taxes, permitting these persons to take such receipts up within a day or so, has been responsible for the rush. Treasurer Myrick regrets his inability to accommodate the tax payers in this respect, but it is impossible under existing conditions and on the day following the first Monday in May, all unpaid taxes will go down as delinquent and the penalty will have to be exacted. From now until the end of April the affairs in the treasurer's office will be. on the jump. REACHED PORT WITH SMALL COAL SUPPLY Six Destroyers Arrive at Magdalena. Magdalena Kay. Mex., Aril s. via San Diego, Cal.. April 11. It dvelopes that when the six destroyers arrived here, some of the ships hail only two tons of coal in their bunkers4. Despite this fact, however, they reached port one day aheaa of time. They got the last coal from the collier Arethusa at Acapulco and1 "just did get in." The ships steamed for days through narrow- channels a thousand miles Ions, piloted by a lieutenant commander of the Chilean navy. Precipitous cliffs rose for thousands of feet and at times it was hard to find ancharages at night. The ships were supplied with meat by hunting parties that went ashore until the ammunition gave out. The Areihusa. "mother ship." could not sail fast and held back the flotilla.

Joimes a HEART BALM ASKED IN A SENSATIONAL SUIT TO BE HEARD (Continued From l'age One.) daughters. Hazel and Mildred. The ladies bore splendid reputations and enjoyed the acquaintance of a large circle of friends. The younger. Miss Mildred. accompanied her mother to this city yesterday and will be an atteindant at the trial. Other friends will be seated beside Mrs. Smith in the court room. While living in Richmond. Mrs. Phelps and daughters made their home over the old Sun-Telegram office on North Ninth street. John D. Vaughan was known to be a visitor at the home frequently.

It is belh'Ved evidence will lie introduced to showthat Vaughan's visits were rather regular. The marital troubles of the plaintiff when slie was Mrs. 1'helps are. likely to be entered upon and it is asserted the name of William Willcutts, who was ai resident of Carthage, when the 1'helps" resided there will be mentioned in court. In its entirety, i; is expected the tiial will prove the most sensational that has been heard in the Wayne circuit court in recent years.
