ALLEGED NULLITN.
Argument i'm Behalf of Julius Latney
nefOre Court of ApueaIs.

Argument will be concluded Tuesday next
before the Court of Appeals in the case of
Julius Iatney, appellant, against the United
States, appealed from judgment rendered
in Criminal Court No. /. Latney, who is a
Colored man, was convicted in Criminal
Court No. of second offense petit larceny.
The contention of the defendant, who is
represented by Attorney Levi David, is
that the record of the first conviction in
the Police Court was in violation of the
statute and the fourth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States and that
the judgment of that court as entered was
an absolute nullity, and that therefore 1t
was erroneous for Criminal Court No. to
permit the record to be admitted in evil
dence on the occasion of the trial of the
second Offense charged.
1t is stated that the question raised in the
case was passed upon by Justice Bradley
in several habeas corpus cases that came
before him. and upon consideration Of the
matter he decided that the Police Court
had violated the terms Of the statute and
the provisions of the fourth amendment in
the matter of proceeding in that court on
infOrmations similar TO the one involved in
Latneys case.
Justice Clabaugh decided in the Latney
case that the judgment of the Police Court
was valid, differing, it is said, with the
views expressed by Justice Bradley.

A Question of Exposure.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A curious comment on the perversion Of
human nature is the present exaggerated
ering certain parts Of pictures on billboard
posters. The fig leaf incident of Eden is
wildly illustrated in the pasting Of blank
paper over exposed places, the which serves
more to expose the corrupt perversion Of
human thinking than to conceal any real
indecency in the figures themselves. The
human form is the highest and MODEST
expression of creative intelligence and
power. Its nakedness is not in itself in
decent Fig leaves were required only by
the perversion of mans thinking, and not
from any need of the body. The nude
form Is indecent only in the impure
thoughts of those who have made a per-
verified use of the body or are inclined
thereto. Pictures of the body with ex-
posed parts are not necessarily indecent.
They are such only when, by posture and
expression, suggestive of improper use of
the body. The ethics of the billboard
would exclude them entirely. Others would
better be left alone. Fig-leaf patches in
| such cases are more suggestive than are
the original pictures, calling particular at
| tention to the imputed indecency, which
| does not inhere in the body itself. Pure
thinking is not concerned by so much talk
about the indecency Of the body or its eX-
posture. From childhood have been
| brought up to regard certain parts of the
! body and their functions as indecent. Such
| Is gross error, and the average attitude
| of mind Of the present-day generations is
| sad comment on the efficiency of our
| boosted and boastful twentieth century
| civilization. NJ E. SLOANE.

then going from door to door with these

Theatrical Regulations.
Editor Of The Evening Star:


In view of the fact that the question of
regulating the performances at certain
theaters, as to guard against the pre-
sentation of such acts as may violate pub
lie decency, is now under consideration,
the inclosed article written by Sir Walter
Scott in relation to the scandalous char
acter of the audiences of long ago may be
thought worthy of reproduction. l remem-

The following paragraph is from an eX-

from the pen of Sir Walter Scott. The evil
which 1t deprecates, although 1t does not
exist In our theaters to anything like the
London, yet is of sufficient magnitude to
call for censure and reform. The subject

tention. but which we have heretofore for

| ties with which it's discussion is attended.
We are, therefore, glad to have it in our
| power to avail ourselves of the language
of the great man who indited the annexed
| remarks. They are judicious and perth

The decisions of the Supreme court
in the insular cases are practically a
victory for the administration. While
holding that to certain extent the
constitution does follow the flag, the
court establishes the principle that
congress has plenary power to govern
newly acquired territory in such man
ner as il sees fit and that this power
extends even to the levying of tar
i'll on goods imported from it to the
dtates and also on goods shipped from
the states into the territory.
