HIGH HATS-Columbus O., March
25.-The Fosdick bill to prohibit the
wearing of high hats by women in the
theatres was passed in the house last
night after a lengthy debate. The bill;
nearly passed two weeks ago, under
suspension of the rules, but was pre-
vented from going through with a
Whlrl by Mr.. Stewards amendments
adding six months Imprisonment to
the penalty of fine. Mr.. Stewart
since withdrew this amendment.
Mr.. Boster thought the women ought
not to be fined for wearing the hats, but
that the managers of theatres who
permitted his patrons to wear such OBJ
structions should be fined and more
over, there should be some way of en-
forcing the law. He accordingly Of
fered an amendment making that
change, filming the manager of an opera
house or theatre $40 for permitting a
person to wear an obstruction in the
shape of hat or headgear, and the
amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Stewart made an exceedingly
serious argument against the bill He
thought the bill ought to be fixed to
give women protection against men
who go out between acts to the great
annoyance of the women. Mr.. Stewart
proposed to amend the bill, making it
tween acts for drinks: also requiring
the governor to annually appoint a
chief inspector of hats, he to appoint
deputies In all cities They would seize
all the hats worn in violation of the
law. These amendments were disa-
greed to.
Fosdick said his bill was temper
ance measure, as high hats drive men
to drink between acts.
representative Star, of Williams
county, quoted scripture in support of
his stand, and related an experience
he had in trying to see the preacher
over sky scraper in such a few days
ago.
The bill now goes to the senate.
