SEEKS FREEDOM
BECAUSE OF ACE
TRIES TO AVOID WHITTIER
SENTENCE
PitifuI Story of Wayward Girl to Be
Told in Court on Habeas
Corpus Proceed
ings

Julia Woods, Is years of age, who
was ordered committed to the Whit
tier reform school on March 16, just one
day before she attained her majority,
yesterday appeared with her mother
before Judge Wilbur of the Juvenile
court on habeas corpus proceedings and
asked to be released.
The preliminary steps of the fight
were taken yesterday, but the chief
argument will take place this after
noon and the Woods girl is expecting
her freedom.
Her case has been one of the most
pitiable ones in the history of the juve-
nile court during the past year. When
officers broke in the doors of q North
Main street resort and arrested the
proprietors, one of whom, H. Martinez,
is doing time on the chain gang, they
discovered the Woods girl and COM
panion lying on the floor in a condition
of intoxication.
Matron Holds Girls
Both girls were turned over to the
charge of the matron at the city jail
and it was found that medical aid was
necessary. For several days the girls
did not know or appreciate their sur
roundngs, and that they recovered
from the treatment that had been ac-
corded them was considered marvellous.
One of the girls was placed in a home
of correction and Julia Woods was taxi
en- before Judge Wilbur on March 16
and after being examined she was or
dered committed to Whittier.
The commitment was made out and
signed on March 16, and on March IL,
Just one day later, the girl became of
age and passed beyond the control of
the juvenile court. Had she been COM
mitted on March 16 she would have
been compelled to remain at Whittier
until she was 21 years of age. But in

Another thing is that Summerfeld's s
tastes always run to the deliriously
beautiful, as for instance: Several days
ago when he went to marry a couple
In hurry he had been working away
hard in preparing a decision with his
coat off and his shirt sleeves rolled up.
When the couple entered and wanted
the knot tied in a hurry Summerfleld be-
gan without getting his coat on.
The bride nudged her husband, that
just was, and called attention to the
fact that the sleeves of the Justice s
silk undershirt rolled in with the outer
shirt were of beautiful baby blue color
that his necktie matched, that his
sleeveholders also matched and that
even his hosiery corresponded with the
general color scheme.

Pretty Girl Appears
In Justice Stephens court yesterday
pretty little girl of Is years appeared
with her sweetheart and the Justice
started TO perform the ceremony, call
ing in the court clerk. Now the clerk
had not witnessed one of the frenzied
wedding services before, and he was in
terested. Incidentally Justice Stephens
was highly interested in a little joke.
and knowing the clerk to be a man of
exceptional modesty he suggested when
the services had been completed that
the witness kiss the bride.
The witness first looked for window
to dive through. but none being handy
he faced the ordeal bravely. while the
beautiful little woman calmly puckered
her lips and waited the salute which
tinally arrived. while her husband stood
by and said that since the court had
ordered it he guessed it was all right.
But weddings do not decrease be-
cause of the little difficulties, and the
Justices are preparing for the June
rush.

STREET SIGNS FOR AMERICAS

Athens is having street signs
put up. When the work is com
pleted there will be durable signs
on every corner. The stranger
will then be able to find his way
about and the citizens will have
the satisfaction of knowing that
the names of the thoroughfares
are really matters of fact and not
of fancy.
Americas needs streets signs
badly. Occasionally one can be
found, but it takes pretty vigilant
search to locate it. Signs are not
so expensive as to be classed
among the luxuries of city lite.
Indeed, they are about the cheap.
est necessities of urban existence.
A painted board sign costs but a
few cents, ana metal signs are
not made prohibitiye by their
price.
An appropriation of a very small
amount would go long ways to-
ward putting up signs on all OF
the main highways of Americas.
There is nothing that the city
could do, with the same amount OF
money, that would better indicate
spirit of progressiveness on It's
part.
Let us have the street signs.

The Augusta Herald calls Gov.

for referring to the president of
the United States as one of "the
greatest rulers the world has ever
known" As the Herald says, the
president is not a ruler in any
sense of the word, and the fact
does not want to be lost sight of
by the people generally.
