whose name is withheld by the officials of the Department of Justice vlsiteo Attorney General Moody yesterday and laid before him important information relative to the practice of peonage in Florida that will be rigidly investigated by the officers of the departmentdepartment The Attorney General Informed the President of what he had learned and the President expressed the hope that the inquiry into tbeallred conditions would be speedy and searching The story told by the departments informant shows the existence ot slavery in Southern Florida below Tampa where it claimed hundreds of men both white and colored are held In bondage 1 It Is claimed that those responsible for this condition of affairs are mostly Northern men and companies engaged In the turpentine and lumber business and In mining phosphate Sheriffs Are in Collusion It is further alleged that the sherins in the various counties in the southern1 part of the State are parties to the enslaving Of the negroes in the phosphate mines turpentine farms and Jumber mills Large numbers of these negroes ere said to be from Georgia and art kept In barracks practically as prisoners andj not allowed to escape They have been enticed from other States and put to workJ In such a way that they must remain under their overseers Indefinitely Among these victims of peonage are a large number of native ewhlte men who are said to be treated with the same harshness as Is visited upon the coloredslaves The United States attorney for the Southern district of Florida Is unable to dealTviUi this situation as he has no money at his disposal with which he can employ detectives or other persons to ferret out the facts and gather the evidence upon which to proceed In the courts May Send Man to Florida It is probable the Department of Justice will send some of Its own agents Into that territory to assist the district attorney The President and the members 6f his Cabinet were shocked at the information given fbem and should the department agents unearth the facts all the power of he government will be exerted in bringing about a proper punishment of the men who have been guilty of these violations of law ii ii HELD AS SLAVE
