BABY BLUE RIBBONS
PROVE COMMANDING
ARGUMENT IN COURT
Judge Relents at Sight of ArtisticalIy
Bedecked Instructions Submitted
for Consideration by Woman
Attorney

She is a young woman attorney a
familiar and always welcome figure in
the many court rooms of Los Angeles
Her client in this instance was charged
with assault but a jury was called
to decide on the mans mental condi-
ton. All the evidence was in.
You will return a verdict" said
the court, turning to the twelve men,
finding for the defendant"
But, your honor" interrupted the
young woman, II have prepared in
structions which L believe you should
have"
mo Instructions are necessary in a
case of this kind" replied the court,
and again began the interrupted SEN
tence. Again the attorney interposed
an objection.
II have the instructions here, your
honor, and really l think you should
have them"
mot in this case, was the retort
"Well, what shall 1 do with them,
your honor?" she persisted. .
"Oh, 1 don't care; you may began
the judge, with some show of irrita
ton. Then he saw the papers in the
young womans hand. They were of a
baby blue tint, fastened together at
one corner by q narrow ribbon of the
same delicate hue and tied in a dainty
bow.
The judge hesitated retrospective of
countenance. Perhaps it was the MEM
ory of bygone days when other taper
fingers had woven affection into soft
shades.
"You may file the instructions with
the clerk for record" he said AMI the
baby blue papers were made a part of
the archives of the county.

MUCH DAMAGE FROM
4 MYSTERIOUS RLAzE
DENOUNCE CRITICS
OF ATLANTIC CITY

There was deep drawing OF
breaths when Salus went to that ex-
tent in his remarks, for while many
we're willing to say almost anything
to his neighbor that was uncompli-
emntary, few had the temerity to
stand before a large gathering of
more than a thousand persons and
give utterance to any such words.
Joseph A. McNamee, treasurer Of
the Marine Trust Company, was made
chairman of the meeting. One of the
speakers was Elijah Chandler, Esq,
who said he believed 1t was high time
that the people of the resort should
condemn the use of the structures up
on the name Of the resort, whether
they were applied by private citizens,
governor or president of the United
States. He said that Atlantic City
was no worse than any other city in
the country and not anywhere nearly
as bad as many which he knew He
could not see where Atlantic City
was immoral nor where the laws were
$3.50 badly violated He said the peo-
Pile of sister states should know how
the people of Atlantic City felt about
the matter.

boardwalk shooting mystery today
indicates that when the true facts
are revealed, the rottenness of Dem

be put to shame. The facts were

declares that the manager of the

Cured on Tuesday night, instead OF
Wednesday, ana that the shooting oc-
Cured in sight-of the Savoy theatre,
instead of in the isolated spot first
designated. It is alleged that the
hotel men of Atlantic City, fearful
of undesirable publicity which the re-
sort might be given by the celebrated
shooting, influenced the local news
paper men to cover up the affair.
When outside correspondents of
New York and Philadelphia papers
unearthed the facts, the police were
stirred into activity. A clash result
