THE HEARING LAST NICiHT Grrl Granted Her Freedom But Strong ly Advised by Court as to Her Conduct Didn't Want to Re- turn to Immoral Home. In interesting and rather sensation al habeas corpus proceeding growing cut of the detention of Lula Taylor, the 15-year-old factory girl from Fay etteville, a mention of which was made in these columns yesterday morning, took place last night at 7:30 o'clock before Judge E, B. Jones," in the ofilce of the clerk 'at the Court House. It appears that the girl did not want to return home to her moth er and during the day, through friends, she employed Woodus Kellum Esq., as counsel, and petitioned for habeas corpus proceedings, reciting the rather sensational charge that she was imprisoned and restrained of her liberty at the City Hall; that the ca-use or pretext was that she was being held for an officer to come from Fayetteville and take her back for the purpose of forcing her to live at a house which was not a "proper one for a girl of her age ; that the action was without warrant of, law and that the aid of the higher court was invok ed to secure her from the unlawful restraint. The summons was imme diately served on the proper authori ties at the City Hall and the hearing was had in the evening as stated. It will be recalled that the girl was detained as the result of an indict ment of a man named Archie Turner, who nad been charged in Cumberland with abducting the child. Turner rep resented to the Mayor that e had come to Wilmington and found the and was endeavoring to return to Fayetteville tirher niut order to clear Sis' "own name. Upon this representation Turner was releas ed and the girl was held at the re questd? the chief of police in Fayette ville, who was acting for the mother. The arrest of Turner was at the in stance of a young and rather good looking cotton mill operative named Marion Williams, who openly express ed his purpose to marry the girl. The child was kept in custody at the City Hall Sunday night but on Monday night the local Salvation Army Corps took her in charge and kept her until last night as an act of humanity, no place for the detention of such pris oners being provided at the City Hall. It was to the wife of Adjutant Yates that the girl confieded that her home was no place for. her to live and the action for habeas corpus was made with a view of providing for her re lease and her assignment to some good home where proper influences would be thrown around her. Judge Jones heard all the facts ob tainable last night, the Mayor stating the case as it had come to him, all of which was approved by Judge Jones. A statement was then heard from the young man, Marion Williams, upon whom the startling fact was de veloped that he had now a living wife. Williams, however, protested that he had a divorce from the wife and but for the fact that he had lost thcm, he would have the papers from the court to show for the same. On the stand he dramatically declared his purpose to marry the girl regardless of the consequences. Judge Jones took oc casion, on the other hand, to remind him of the age of the ciild and to warn him that if he did he would subject himself to the law and that if he was not sure of his divorce papers he had better go slow sure enough. The girl, upon hearing the facts as to the other wife, said she would scorn Williams but she said that she would not go home to her mother. She wanted to stay and work in the cotton factory here, but Judge Jones said that he would not jermit her go ing under the influence of Williams and others in the factory settlement. Deputy Sheriff Pate of Cumberland, county, who came for Turner and found that he had been released and who waited over in an effort to induce the girl to return to her home, in the absence of any better disposition of her case, was present and made a statement as tb the disappearance of the girl from the Holt-Morgan mill at Fayetteville and stated that he was waiting the action of the court He could 4 not give the best character to the girl's mother and told of a crimi nal charge against her grandfather. Her ancestors were found by the court to be of rather unsavory repu tation but nothing could be done oth er than grant the habeas corpus. The MACHINISTS HERE . Delegates Representing Unions of In ' ternational Association Over At lantic Coast Line System Ban quet in Their Honor. . A committee from the International Association of Machinists, embracing all the shops of the Atlantic Coast Line from Richmond, to Tampa, Fla, are in the city for the annual confer ence with; the officials of the road anl for a meeting of the several local unions for discussion of the better ment of the condition of the members of the trade. The delegation Is herd ed by Mr. J. P. Flagg, district presi dent; Mr. F. R. Kent, vice president, and Mr. T. P.. Spencer, secretary and treasurer, while a distinguished vis itor is Grand Vice President J. D. Buckelew, of the International Asso ciation. Messrs. J. w! Copeland, W. M. Mechie, and W. H. Buchanan com pose the executive board while the entire delegation is composed of Messrs. J. F. Aylfward, E. G. Galla gher, M. G. Patterson, G. A. Harper. T. W. Meuney, T. H. McGhee and H. P. Hill! They are all guests of The Orton and expect to remain in the city several days. It is understood that the men are asking now only a change of conditions without regard to wage scale and that the conferences thus far with the Atlantic Coast Line have been very satisfactory. The boiler makers on the system are also here for a conference with the officials of the road but have .about concluded their conferences very satisfactorily. The visiting machinists were most elegantly entertained last night by Local Union No. 589, of Wilmington, at a banquet at The Only Restaurant, where a delightful menu was served and a number of interesting addresses were heard, notably by Mr. J. A- Lock fa w, of Wilmington; District Presi dent FIgg, National Vice President Buckelew and others. The committee in charge from the Wilmington local was composed of Messrs. J. W- Curtis, J. W. Morris, M- M. Parker, J. A. Lock fawand D. W- Ketghtley. Mr Lock- preaOded and 1e meetinx was both instructive, and ntertainiiig...The Wilmington machinists did themselves proud. THE EAGLES' CARNIVAL. Week of Gayety About to Begin Popular Voting Contests The Eagles' Carnival will be on in all of its glory next week and already great preparations are under way for that big event with such a large num ber of the people of the city. The shows of the Barkoot Amusement Co., which will furnish the attractions' are at Orangeburg this week and are re ported to be giving fine satisfaction. More extended reference will be made i to these later. Chief interest will center this weelc in two popular voting contests tnat will be inaugurated today one for the most popular young lady to whom a diamond ring now on exhibition at Huggins' jewelry store, will be pre sented and another for the most pop ular candidate for Mayor, to whom a $250 horse now on exhibition at Brice stables, will be presented. The votes in the ring contest will be one cent each and in the mayoralty race five cents will be the charge. The boxes for the votes have been placed as fol lows: Bellamy's Drug Store, Hall's Drug Store, Gem Cigar Store, Cres cent Cigar Spre, Gerken Tobacco. Co., and at J. A. Smith's Drug Store- Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night. ' Carolina Aerie, No. 1171, Fraternal Order of Eagles, at an enthusiastic meeting last night elected the follow ing officers 'for the ensuing term: Past Worthy President John J. Fur--long; Worthy President, William J. Bellamy; Worthy ice President W. S. Bellamy; Worthy Vice President W. S. Coleman; Secretary J. K. Crump; Treasurer, S. K. DeVaney; Worthy Conductor, Gordon Johnson; Inside Guard T. Shepard; Outside Guard, W. B. Brice. Trustees S. Mitchell, T. D. Lovfe and Julius Weil Judge, however, ordered that the child at Jier consent remain in charge of the Salvation Army people and that if she evidenced a desire to go to her home", he would communicate with the clerk of the Cumberland Court to see what could be done toward bind ing her out to some responsible per son at Fayetteville. The girl last night said she would go home thig morning with Deputy Sheriff Pate, but it is more probable that she will remain in the hands of the Salvation Army Corps here and that a good home will be found for her. , v The girl has rather pretty features and is exceedingly -bright for one of her years, displaying a. knowledge of humankind and the law and rights of persons that made her case an ex ceedingly difficult one to handle.
