NILE. De LEON IN
JAIL at MONTREAL

MONTREAL, May 14.-Mlle. de
Leon, who was arrested at the
Theatre Royal for an alleged in
decent performance, was sent to
jail by Recorder Dupuis.
She gave her dance in a modi-
fled manner, being out on bail.
The recorder evidently feared
that she would run away and
therefore confined her to the Gus
tody of Governor Payette.
The performance which has got
her into Jail was a combined mus
Gle and Salome dance, but it was
done entirely in full dress, no
flesh showing except at her throat
and ON the upper arms.
What caused the recorder to be
so severe, no doubt, was the fact
that it has leaked out that either
she herself or some other per-
former like her has been giving
private Little Egypt" perform
ances in the altogether" for the
last month, once each week in
Maisonneuve, one of Montreal's
eastern suburbs, to select COM
pany of local sports" 1t Is as
serted that the night after her ar
rest she attended a stag" supper
in which she danced on the table.

there has never been a standard
thread. The chief has been work.
ing to get the couplings standard

Chine that will do the job.
The defense took up only about
10 minutes. Lawyer Coiner then
wanted to deliver an Grafton but
the council was tired and consid-
cred he had had enough time, SO
the members called for the ques-
Ition.
Instead of putting the question
on the charges, President Haw-
thorne waited for motion. Haw-
| ley moved the charges be not sus-
tanned. Bell, Hawley, Wilkeson,
Chapman, Giblett and Stewart
supported the motion. This
showed six votes for McAlevy.
The rest voted against him. 1t
takes IL to GUST him, however,
and his opponents had but 10.
President Hawthorne, however,
declared the charges still before
the council and formal action Vill
probably be taken to throw them
out at the next meeting of the
council.
Says Charges Are Frivolous.
Bell, in explaining his vote, said
he considered the charges all
frivolous, excepting the Hardin
charge Of graft, and that this had
fallen fiat and Hardin had not
made good. He therefore voted
to retain the chief.
May Call Others on Carpet.
Incidentally other firemen may
be hauled on the carpet. William
Bercher, another enemy of Nc
Alevy's, who Is still in the depart
ment, in trying to make as bad a
case as possible for the chief, ad-
mitted he had been violating rules
himself by drinking and taking
| liquors into the fire house.
He had also refused to tell the
chief when asked concerning in
fraction of the rules. He said an
other fireman named Hardgrove
and Harry Pentland and N.
Trosper at No. had all been
drinking in the fire house.
| Councilman Wilkeson, who has
become tired of this attempt to
GUST the chief by stirring up strife
in the department, took the names
and the fellows may be brought
to book.

"the whole gang should be hanged for such an
outrage"
To the surprise of three prisoners, Reilly made
a motion TO his followers and they slowly with
drew to the outer car, taking the captured porter
with them. All took seats save one who posted
himself in front of the door, which he care
fully locked and which he stood guard to

the berths ready for occupancy. The prisoners
went to rest guarded by men whom they feared,

They were aroused by the porter who a few

opened wide as If confronted by
an army of enemies. There was
a moment when the car seemed to
palpitate with enmity.
Reilly slowly advanced down the
aisle, steadying himself with hands
on the section divisions. He
stopped but a few feet from
Barnes, and spoke:
"Mr. Barnes, there isn't a man
here will raise a hand for you.
When you get hoarse or tired,
you'd better go back to the state

There was another wait while
Barnes glared at his captor, and it
was so intense that above the hum
of wheels and roar of flight the
insistent drumming Of a furious
spring rain could be heard dashing
on the car roof, along its sides,
and spattering the windows with
windy gusts. Barnes hesitated

for a weapon, but his arms were
promptly seized and held against
his sides, until a revolver was

and clutched the air line, but in
spite of his jerks no slowing down

voice Of the spokesman continued.
"The forward door has been
locked. The porter is resting
quietly with handouts on his
wrists. You can save yourselves
a lot of trouble by doing what 1

Barnes was not of the kind to
submit tamely to anything so pre-
posterous, and he was unafraid.
He grew red in the face, then
white, set his teeth and made n
lunge at the spokesman. Pearson
renewed his struggling. but was
deftly tripped and thrown to the
floor, where pair of sharply

JUDGE WILL DEFEND
SON AT MURDER TRIAL
Young Man Charged With KILL
ing Negro Adversary on Ship

Every effort within the law will be
made to save young ]. f. Gardner,
the son of Judge D. w. Gardner of
Kentucky, when he is called to face
a murder charge in Judge de Havens
court March 1S. While in the northern
seas on the whaler Bowhead August
80 of last year Gardner got into
quarrel with a negro named Joseph
CORDOBA and killed him.
According to the story told by ship
mates CORDOBA irritated the young
Kentuckian with foul ephitets, struck
him, threw him to the deck and
jumped on his chest. Arising to his
feet, Gardner seized a piece of scant-
ling and struck his negro adversary
on the head.
Gardner is under age. He ran away
from home while in his teens and,
being without funds and unwilling to
ask for money from home, shipped on
a whaler for the Arctic regions.
Not only has his father, Judge
Gardner, determined to conduct his
sons defense, put his uncle, Supreme
Justice O'Rear of Kentucky has also
interested himself in the boys be-
half.

and it aspired to become the worst in
the world. The plan was to enlarge
the brothel until it should house 1000
fallen women. This place was run
by one Emil Kerlein and q partner
named Valentine.
The militant priest began the fight
by calling to his aid the decent citi-
zenship of the city. With Father
Caraher in the forefront of the fray,
while standing shoulder to shoulder
behind him ranged many ministers of
other denominations, the lash of public
opinion was welded across the bare
backs of those responsible for the
situation.
Protests against the unspeakable
conditions on the Barbary coast were
forced on the city administration and
made public through the press. The
police were goaded into action by law
yers employed by the reformers to
compel the guardians of the public
peace to do their duty.
AS a result it was not long before the
two proprietors of the Nymphia were be-
hind prison bars. They We're tried before
Judge Graham and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment each. On a tech
nicality they appealed and their appeal
was tried by three superior judges sit
ting en- banc. One of these was Carroll
Cook, who was later to became Father
Caraher's arch enemy. Through flaw
in the law found by Cook the men were
permitted TO go free on payment of $3.50
fine each.
But the Nymphia was closed. and a
new resort was opened. Once again the
militant priest leaped into the arena of
combat, and once again he won.
