THE GIRL IN BLUE ON TRIAL.
A Policeman Initiates the Oriental
Dance In Court.

Mile. De Leon. The Girl in Blue" as
she Is better known, who was arres led by
Sergt Yule Hodges and squad of police
men after the performance at the Bijou
Theatre, Wednesday night, was arraigned
in the Police Court yesterday morning on
a charge OF disorderly conduct. Sergeant
Hodges. the first witness, stated that so
far as he knew the woman bore an excel
lent character. but that the dance which
she performed on the stage was obscene
and vulgar. Acting Lieutenant Jordan
gave an imitation OF the act, and corrobor-
ated the statements of the previous wit
ness.
Attorney Campbell Darlington, who APP
peared for the defendant entered de-
murrer. and moved to quash the infOrma
tion on the ground that under the law no
offence had been committed, but Judge
Kimbsll did not sustain his action, and an
exception was taken. The Government
rested Its case on the testimony of the two
witnesses and a second demurrer was filed
setting forth that the evidence did not
show that any law had been violated. The
decision OF the court on this point was
withheld, and the defendant was placed on
the stand.
Mile. De Leon described her costume;
said that she wore more clothing than any
other professional dancer before the pub
lie. and stated that she had been appear
ing in the dance in the principal cities Of
the country for nearly two years. She had
also appeared privately before some of the
leading society ladies' of the country. and
before a number of the New York clubs
She stated that she was the sole support Of
an aged mother and little sister, that she
had TO put in two hours Of hard work
every morning to perfect herself in the
dance. Witnesses were introduced to tes-
tify as to her good character, and then the
case was continued until today to permit
OF argument on the demurrer. The court
room was crowded when the case was
called, but by direction of Judge Kimball
1t was cleared Of all who were not there on
business before the taking Of testimony
was begun.

CHICAGO, Jan, 2t.-Wheat opened
steady on the ffrmness at Liverpool. which

closed 1-sd higher. Local traders were the
principal buyers, with commission houses

The market declined 1-2c on selling by
the early buyers. The commission house
demand checked the decline. Continental
markets were weak; Paris, 12c lower en-

is very slack.
Corn opened a shade easier and declined
on the local speculative pressure. Several
prominent local floor traders were credit

buying for the account of leading pro-

resulted, closing 1t the same as last night.
The oats market has been dull and tn
interesting. There was a small commits

Provisions opened lower on the weak

were small fluctuations on small dealings
