OBJECTED To BARE ARMS
SENT WOMAN FROM COURT
Philadelphia Judge Refused to Hear
Woman's Cause Until She Retired
and Covered Bare Arms and Short
Sleeves With Coat.

Philadelphia. Jan. 17.-Judge Breezy
in court of Quarter sessions today
declared against women wearing
short sleeves in the court room.
Hereafter women will think twice be-
fore appearing before him with such
a liberal display of charms as Mrs
Wilson Jackson essayed. Today 5
session was for the hearing and dis
position of the complaints of the az
grieved and deserted Whether Mrs.
Jackson was deserted or merely ag-
grieved will not be known for several
days as her case was postponed as
the result of her appearance. She
was dressed in a black skirt and a
light white waist with sleeves that
exhibited her arms bare nearly to
the elbows. Judge Bregy looked at
her intently for moment and then
said; Have you coat?'
Yes Sir"
Then put it on and don't come be-
fore the court in that way
The woman returned to her seat
and then presented herself at the
bar wearing a coat.

Everett Morse, Fireman, Pain
fully Hurt, and Engineer
Brown Luckily Escaped.
SWITCH WAS LEFT OPEN
TWO CARS OF THE PASSENGER
WERE OVERTURNED AND EN-
CINE WAS BURIED IN MUD-oc-
CURED YESTERDAY MORNING.

When Panhandle passenger train
No. 10 pulled into Richmond several
hours late yesterday afternoon from
Cincinnati, it carried a number of pas
sengers badly bruised. Fireman Ever
ett T. Morse, who had his ankle
sprained and was badly hurt about
the shoulders, and Engineer Elmer
Brown, who though not injured, was
pale as death and still nervous from
his miraculous escape.
The train, or rather what was the
train before the accident, ran into an
open switch at Red Comb junction,
just this side of Cincinnati and col
lided with switch engine. Two cars
were turned over, and it was thought
for time that the passenger engine
would topple. AS it was, the engine
was deeply buried in the mud. En-
gineer Brown jumped, escaping in
jury, but Fireman Morse, who also
jumped, was not so lucky. The two
members of the train crew hurt the
worst, were o. NJ. Poland, baggage
master, and o. X. Elliott, express mes
senger, both of whom were in the bag
gage car, which was overturned.
Switchmen who were getting cars
off siding had left switch open,
thus causing the accident The water
is very high at Cincinnati now and
they were getting the cars to place
where they would be out of danger if
the water covered the sidetrack. En-
gineer Browns presence of mind is all
that prevented more serious damage.
Seeing that the switch was open, he
put on the brakes, thus slowing down

CHARLES F. GULLY
HAS DISAPPEARED
Left His Home tuesday Even
ing and Has Not Been
Heard from Since.
HIS WIFE is FRUSTRATED
GULLY WAS EMPLOYED AS DRAY-
MAN AT THE STARR PIANO
SPLENDID CHARACTER.

Wife desertion and abandonment Is
the only plausible explanation for the
unaccountable disappearance from
his home last Tuesday evening OF
Charles F. Gully. of 412 Pearl street.
Mr. Gully, who was employed at the
Starr Piano works as drayman,
up his horsees as usual. He went
into the house but left Immediately
afterward and has not been heard
from since. He gave no hint as to
why he left nor where he was going.
Mrs. Gully never III very good
health is prostrated by the perfidity
of her husband She said that what
ever his reason for leaving his home
it was not because his home life was
unpleasant She had accorded him
the best of treatment. Heretofore
there had been no trouble between
them. Mr.. Gully had not been des-
pondent but had acted usual that ev-
ening.
While there is little possibility of
Mr.. CulIy's meeting with foul play
OF any kind his disappearance is at
tended by SO few facts that there
might be an explanation of this char
acter.
Gully was employed regularly and
was man of splendid character. He
was not addicted to the use of liquor
and his disappearance cannot be ac-
counted for in that manner.

Senator Wood Would Place
School Improvements Un-
der Councils Care.
KIRKMAN is VERY ACTIVE
INTRODUCES RESOLUTION ASK
ING THAT INDIANA GO ON REC
ORD AS FAvoRiNG POPULAR
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
(By Demas S. Coe.)

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 17.-If a bill
which Senator Will r. Wood introduc-
ed today, should become a law, the
school board of Richmond. and those
in every other city and town in the
state, would be unable to improve an
old school building, build a new one or
make appropriations of any nature un-
less the city council ratifes such ac-
tion. Senator Woods bill seeks to
amend a section of an existing law
which requires that the city controller
penses of every municipal department
at the end of each fiscal year, for the
ensuing year The council shall pass
upon the estimate. The only change
is the placing of the school board I'M
der the bills provisions. on the
ground that the school boards should
have no greater power than other de-
partments of a town or city. 1t is al
legged that the Indiana mayors lobby
favors the bill. 1t will have tough
sledding if it becomes a law, and there
is likelihood that it will be defeated.
Senator Kitsler today introduced a
bill for the repeal of the metropolitan
police law. 1t differs from Repre-
sentative McCullough's bill introduc-
ed in the house Tuesday, in that it
provides that boards of police commits
etc ~ha7 he into hyr fx-
councils. The Mccullough bill pro-
poses that the mayors shall name the
boards. Already the forces that will
oppose the bill are lined up for the
battle. The supporters of the meas
ure also expect to get into the run
ming, and will have a strong lobby in
both branches. The claim is made
that the brewery interests are behind
the movement to repeal. The repre-
sentatives of the breweries deny the
charge, however, and say that there is
no reason why they should be inter
ested for or against metropolitan po-
lice departments. Richmond and La
fayette are two cities where it is be-
repeal will be SO strong that formal
protests will be made to the general
assembly.
The anti-lobby bills of Senator Slack
and Senator Farber were advanced to-
day in the senate, both beinig reported
for passage and they will come up for
third reading next Monday or Tues
day There is strong probability that
one or the other will be passed.

HEALTH OFFICER ACTS.

Considerable apprehension is felt
by the patrons of the Starr school
and especially those who have child
rem in the third grade, owing to the
fact that that class was yesterday
dismissed for ten days pending the
development of the symptoms of scar
let fever, to which disease it is re-
ported all the children have been ex-
posed. Sylvester Craig the small
son of John Craig of North 18th
street has the disease and a brother
of the afflicted boy was allowed to
go to school. This became known
to the health officer, DIR. Charles S.
Bond and after consultation with the
school authorities it was decided to
suspend school in the one affected
room until it was certain that all
danger was over.
strict quarantine will be placed
over the homes of the children. in
order to take all possible precau-
tions against the spread of the infec-
tuous and dangerous disease. Yester-
day afternoon the school room was
thoroughly disinfected.
In speaking of the matter last night
DR.. Bond said that the spread of the
disease would be fought to a stand
still, and he did not think that it was
necessary to close the entire school
as only the third grade pupils stood
in any direct danger of catching the
disease caused by. the boy attending
school,
There are several cases of scarlet
fever in Richmond but the majority
of these are located north of Main
street. 1t is not thought that other
schools Will have to be closed as the
result of the spread of the fever.
