NO COMPLAINT HERE
High School Girls Not Over Aztec
tionate in Schools.
NOT LIKE THE CHICAGO GIRLS
e.omments Of Local High School
Principals ON Recent Order
of Chicago Principal.

Minneapolis teachers and scholars have
been much amused by the report from
Chicago that the Lake View high school
girls have been forbidden by their prin-
cipal to 20 about the halls with their
arms linked together or to kiss each other
in the building. The pupils were assem-
bled in the different classrooms and the
In Its place." said the professor, but It's
place is not In public. Public displays
must STOP ut is a bad practice eX-
planned one of the men teachers, and
Is continued for one of two reasons.
Either it is done to tantalize the boys, IN
which case 1t must stop, or 1t IS zone 10
show affection for each other, and that
I Doubt
The new rule was received with open
rebellion and girls who had never thought
OF slipping their arms around each other
did so before the principal. who STOOD
Aghast at their defiance.
Minneapolis Girls Different.
Minneapolis high school girls are not
like those In Chicago, and Professors
Greer, Hobbs, Ozias and Webster state
that they have never had occasion TO
reprimand them for an undlgnlhed puDllc
display of their affection
The girls of Minneapolis must be OF
q different type from those in Chicago,
said Professor Hobbs. 1T is seldom that.
those of the North high school are seen
walking with their arms intertWlned!
4 have never seen girl stop to KISS an
other In the hall and from an experience
OF several years I can truthfully say tnat
the girls carry themselves in dlgnlned
manner"
Position Demonstrated.
Professor Greer of the Central high
school agreed with Professor Hobbs. He
~ ohor of he school
deavored to create home atmosphere IN
the building and that girls were not IN
the habit of walking round their nome
with their arms about each other, ana
consequently they did not do 1t in the
school building. Hey gave practical
illustration of his statement by taking
the reporter into the hall where the
pupils were passing to and from their
classrooms and in the dozens and dozens
Of girls who passed in couples and IN
groups not one had her arm about an
other. Strangers have always com
mented on the ladylike manner OF the
girls and the gentlemanliness OF the
boys" remarked Professor Greer as ne
watched them.
Professor Ozias admitted that occa-
sionally two girls might be seen in the
South high school, arm on arm, but as
they were usually sisters and their az
lection not to be doubted, they had never
been corrected. ut Is but the express
sion Of an honest affection" he explained,
land has never been offensive in any
manner"
When Professor Webster OF the East
high school was asked for his opinion, ne
gave 1t frankly. II don't see why they
shouldn't walk with their arms around
each other II they want to. 1t is custom
of girls and one that has never been
questioned before. In my opinion 1t is
ridiculous to discuss It.

RECEIVERS APPOINTED
To Look After Affairs of Steel Cut
Cereal Company.

James c. Hood, through Attorney w. c.
Lester. today petitioned the Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia to appoint a
receiver to take charge of the property OF
the Steel Cut Cereal Company. 1t Is as
serted that unless the court appoints re-
cenver to take charge Of the assets of the
company and preserve the same for the
benefit of the creditors a race between the
creditors to realize upon the assets, which
has begun, will be continued and Its credi-
tors and stockholders will lose money. and
the assets will be wasted and frittered
away. The company, 1t Is stated, is insov
ent and without sufficient property to pay
its debts. The complainant says he is a
stockholder and creditor.
In an answer filed by the company.
through Attorneys MackaI and Maedel. it
is set forth that 1t will be greatly to the
interest Of the creditors and stockholders
that receiver be appointed.
The matter was called to the attention OF
Justice Bradley. who appointed Wharton
E. Lester and julius A. Maedel receivers.
stipula ting that they furnish bond In the
sum Of $4,000.

MOTHER ENTITLED TO CHILDREN
Ruling Of Justice Bradley Sustained in
Habeas Corpus Case.

AdOCaS SoA puo SdoO.
The Court Of Appeals has handed down
an opinion, written by Mr.. Justice Shep-
ard affirming the judgment OF Justice
Bradley of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia in the habeas corpus
case Of Rachael A. Beall and Jessie H.
Oelrich, appellants, against Minnie B.
Bibb. Justice Bradley ruled that Mrs.
Bibb was entitled to the custody Of her
twin daughters. who were at the time of
the hearing before him last summer eleven
years Of age.
Mrs Beall is the grandmother and Mrs.
Oelrich the aunt of the little girls. The
father of the latter is dead and their moth
er has married a second time. 1t seems
that the children. have been with their
grandmother and aunt who are, respec-
lively, the mother and sister of Mrs. Bibb.
for number of years. Upon the REFUSAL
Of the relatives mentioned to surrender
the custody Of the children, Mrs. Bibb Pc
titioned the court for writ Of habeas cor
pus, which after long hearing, was
granted The children did not hesitate to
express their feelings. which were against
their mother, when informed OF the effect
of the courts action, that episode causing
Justice Bradley to enlighten them In posi-
tive terms concerning their conduct.
In disposing of the matter the Court OF
Appeals remarked that the record in the
case presents the pitiable spectacle of
divided family.
..There is nothing in the testimony" so
the court holds that would justify US In
reversing the judgment"
1t is understood that counsel for Mrs
Beall and Mrs. Oelrich will take further
steps in the matter The children are still
in their care, and counsel are at loss to
know how they can be actually compelled
to stay with their mother IL they continue
to refuse to do so.
