WANTS MORAL BILLB0ARDS
President of w. C. T. U. Asks for ordi-
nance Prohibiting Posting of Inde-
cent and Suggestive Pictures

Mrs. Hester S. Griffith, president of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. presented petition to the coun-
Gil yesterday asking that an ordinance
be passed prohibiting the posting of
indecent and improper pictures on the
billboards.
Mrs, Griffith stated, in her petition,
that many of the billboards were
with pictures that had a tend
ency to corrupt the public morals and
that she had consulted the city prose-
cutor on the subject, but had been told
that the present ordinance could not
be enforced against the persons res
ponsible for posting the bills. The
petition was sent to the Legislative COM
mittee.
The police commission several weeks
ago asked the council to pass such an
ordinance, but the request was re-
ferred TO some committee, and has not
since been taken up by the council

could be sentenced Rogers appeared in

the girls father, that although he had
testified at the trial his daughter was
under the age of consent that he had
not been sure of the fact and that she
might have been over sixteen years of
age. In the affidavits it was further
stated that Rowland had not sworn to
the charges against Hazard until he
had seen some pictures of his daughter
alleged to have been shown about by
Heard. These pictures represented
poses by Miss Rowland in the nude.
Rowland was then arrested on a per-
jury charge but as the case against
him was very weak he was released
and the charge dismissed, Since that
time people have been waiting expec-
family for the settlement of the case
and after nine months of litigation 1t
was finally closed yesterday when the
charges against Hazard were with
