SEVEN RUNAWAYS AGAIN IN CUSTODY Returned to the National Training School for Girls. WERE AT RIVERSIDE CAMP Thirteen Men and Women Arrested on Charge of Having Harbored the Fugitives. Seven of the eleven white inmates | of the National Training Schuol for ! Conduit and Loughborough who escaped the night of July | 10, have been returned to the school, and eight men and three women have been arrested on complaint of hav- ing assisted in harboring them. Mattie Davis, one of the returned fugitives, | was named in a warrant charging ten persons with being implicated in the affair. but not all the defendants! have been arrested. H Mrs. M. T. Bridwell. members of the | police women! der the direction of Lieut. Min Van Winkle, and Precinct Det: McLucas and Kuehling parti in making the arrests. Two of the returned fugitives told Mrs. Bridwell @ story of river trips and life in a camp on the river, but before their in- vestigation had been finished Mattie Pavis was returned from Richmond, @nd, it is stated, was able to give a more detailed account of what took place while she and her companions were at liberty. Motorboat Vamp Raided. A raid conducted on the Vamp, a motor boat, anchored off the river front, resulted in the arrest of Louis Gramlich, 1213 6th street southwest: Charles P. Rabbitt, 483 E _street southwest: John B. Miller, 620 7th street southwest, and William E. Buckholz, 468 I street southwest. Yesterday afternoon Detective Mc- Lucas swore out a warrant against ten persons, alleging unlawful har- boring of Mattie Davis and several of the ten, and others were arrested last night. Several of them were caught enoying life in Marquise Camp, on the District side of the river between the Aqueduct and Chain bridges. Three girls placed under arrest gave their names as Agnes Alice Shaw, Benning road and 19th street northeast: Katherine Madeline James, Waynesboro, Pa. and Ann Beatrice Pugh, Lynchburg, Va. The men ar- rested last night registered as Jay Franklin Jett, New Cut and Canal roads; Henry Clay Robertson, 120 C street’ northeast; Allen Dunn Porter, 130 C street southeast; Bernard, Zell, 345 T street southwest,'and Courtland el Statements of Fugitives. ‘Written statements obtained from three of the réturned fugitives fur- nished information upon which the police made the first arrests. A num- Ber of the arrests were made without the formality of a warrant, others being arrested on a warrant. It was said by the girls that they motored about the river, some of them going as far as Marshall Hall and others remaining in the vicinity of the city. Bathing suits for several of them were obtained on the Vir- ginia side of the rivef opposite the camp, they stated. and one of the girls told of how male members of the party swam the river as escorts to_them, they being in small boats. Mattie Davis, tiring of life out the city and desiring_to go to the home of relatives in Richmond, Va. was put aboard a_train with two other girls at the 7th and C street station. Her uncle saw that she wa eturned here, but ths ¢ther girls di mnot return, and there are two mem- bes of the quartet still missing. OBJECTS TO IMPORTATION OF COOLIES INTO HAWAII Samuel Gompers Says Legislation Proposed “Involves American Principle of Oriental Exclusion.” Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement characterized the proposed legislation allowing importation of coolies under bond into Hawaii as an issue involving the “American prin- ciple of oriental exclusion,” and the proposition as to whether “America is going to permit the establishment in Hawaii of a condition of serfdom, peonage and bondage, by which the coolies shall be brought to the is- lands.” embers of Congress,” declares the statement, “notably Representative Shaw of Illinois, Representative Free of California, and Chairman Johnson of the committee, have sought to turn the whole hearing into a debate over the Japanese question. It is proposed to establish slavery on American_soil. They submerge the issue and inquire about Japanese, about labor shortage, about all man- ner of matters that tend to take the discussion away from the real issue. here is before the people of the United States a grave issue. Let nof the fact that this immediate resolu- tion applies only to Hawaii mislead any one. It has been shown to my satisfction that Hawailan sugar planters have urged American sugar Erowers to keep silent about this | measure because if coolies in peon- age can be secured for Hawaii now, they may later be had for American planters on the mainland. “To their credit the American planters on the mainland have not fallen in with this treacherous sug- gestion. But, nevertheless, the possi- bility remains. And. no matter what the prospect in that regard. it is none the less an act of shame and disgrace for any American to advocate peon- age. bond labor, slave labor, any- where under the American flag. Hawail is American soil and it must be given the benefit of every Amer- ican principle of freedom, democracy | and justice.” —_— NINETEENTH BABY NAMED. Georgia Architect’s Suggestion Is Accepted by Lynchburg Parent. I Special Dispateh to The Star. & LYNCHBURG, Va.. August 4.—When ! F. O. Shaner. a merchant here, asked | several weeks ago for the people of | Lynchburg to 2id him in naming his nineteenth baby, a boy, he did mnot think he would be besieged with let-| ters from all parts of the country, because he did not know several press associations would carry the story under a Lynchburg date line. It resulted, however, in letters from | all parts of the country, and the dis- | tinction of naming the baby has been given to an architect, M. E. Stewart i of Cairo, Ga. who suggested the name “Stewart.” after the old English family which settled in this country 300 years ago and later went to Geor- gia. Mr. Stewart has been asked to supply the middle name for the child. EXECUTED FOR MURDER. NASHVILLE, Tenn.. August ‘Taylor Neal and C.

DISCREDITS TESTIMONY IN HONOLULU-LABOR CASE Chairman Johnson Puts Japan.ie Appeal for Funds in Commit- tee’s Record. A translation of a Japanese appeal for funds to send representatives of organized labor to Washington t0|Myy Only Be Officially Worn i protest against temporary admission of Chinese coolies to Hawali, as published in the Labor Review, Honolulu, placed in the House immigration’ com- mittee record ‘oday by Chairman John- son. It was sufficient, Mr. Johnson said. to discredit the testimony of George W. Wright, editor of the Review and president of the Central Labor Council of Honolulu, concerning agricultural labor conditions on the island. Previous testimony had shown that ‘Wright and Wilmot Chilton, treasurer of the union, had been sent here on funds supplied by the Japaness in the islands. “We believe the Secretsry of- Labor is standing on our side and if such a bill passes Congress he will never put such a program into practice,” the translation said. As to the “capability of Wright and Chilton, who are ai- ways of our friends,” it added: s the situation of the coolie bill does not allow us to hold optimistic feeling, we are sending Wright and Chilton’ as the yepresentatives of the Central Labor Cluncil to present évi- dences of facts to the Washington authorities to block the - tredehérous plot of importing coolie labor. The expense of sending delegates is de- frayed by raising money from every organization: as_well as contributions from persons- who belong to our-class. ‘We hope as many persons as possible' will contribute.” HE LESSONS OF ECONOMY that one- may have learned are oiten the greatest of blessings, | for they tend to put one.on guard against adverse circum- stances.

Marvin, chief of the ‘weather bureau, in which the latter is quoted as saying that he was dublous about the success of the “prime object” of his proposed -air expedition to the north pole,.in a statement today said: “The prime object of the polar flight is not local weather condition observation in the Arctic. One of the objects is to determine the general course of the circumpolar winds and to learn by actual flights the.course of these winds around the north pole. To explain: The fact that a southeast storm may strike Bismarck or Duluth does not affect the great fact of the ‘prevailing westerl. of the North American continent. “We do not intend to ‘measure air currents on the ground,’ except at landing places. This is a flight we propose, not a surface expedition. "If we are successful we are apt to get more data of value actually travers- ing the Arctic region: ble, theoretically fro; base. “In answer.to the other statements that no planes now in existence carry fuel for such a flight, let me say that it is quite some time since the first | twenty-four-hour continuous flight was made in Europe, and there has been consideruble development in air- craft design and aviation since.
