NOS TAR CHAMBER
SESSION OR COURT
Judge Connolly Orders Negro Editor
To File Publicly ANY Evidence as
To Jury Fixing.

Attorney Francis H. Warren, Negro
editor OF the lnformer, the periodical
published in the interests OF the col
ored people OF Detroit. appeared in
Judge Connolly's court, Thursday
afternoon, in answer TO the court )
summons, requiring him TO make good
on certain insinuations the court
charges him with making against off,
GERS and jurors OF his court. The
article In question appeared In re-
cent issue OF the informer and was
under the caption: Was the Jury
Fixed?"
All the jurors who sat upon the
case, with which the article was con-
cerned, were in court. The session
was marked by lively tilt between
Warren and Judge Connolly
Warren evinced decided unwilling
ness TO make public charges against
any officers of the court or any OF the
jurors. but he intimated that he would
be perfectly willing to file private
charges for Judge Connolly's benefit.
Il don't want 10 do anything in this
court that is not public" declared the
court sharply. Il don't want any Off
Ger accused unless he is publicly ac-
Informer made no charges against
anybody in particular. IL did worse
than that. 1t cast suspicion upon the
integrity Of these II jurors and IL
cast suspicion upon all the officers OF
this court, one of whom has since been
honorably retired. The court itself is
about the only person who was not
put under suspicion by your innuendo,
liz a
which | suppose | should thank you
heartily.
1.-The officers OF this court have all
told me that they want an investiga
ton, and in justice to them. | intend
ITO have q public one. In this case, a
suspicion upon all OF them is more
ldamning than a charge against any
single one OF them
Il do not propose to be led by any
body into secret sessions. If anybody
/ is under suspicion, | want to know
who 1t is and the public has a per-
fleet right to know"
Warren replied that it may be that
the incidents referred TO were inno-
cent. He said that il they were, he
did not want to expose the officers Of
the court TO criminal proceedings. he
said also that the courts attitude
would lead to the belief that the court
had a right TO act as censor OF pub
\ locations.
The court answered that he did not
assume the power OF censorship. but
that he did propose to uphold the dig
nifty OF his court and he said further
that all the officers OF bis court have
signified that they will welcome a pub
I lie investigation.
In concluding the session. Judge
Connolly ordered Warren TO file with
the court any information he may
have involving any OF the officers or
the Jurors in the court.
Warren Immediately moved that the
courts order be vacated. The motion
was denied and Warren announced
[ that he would ask the supreme court
for a mandamus vacating the order
OF the court. The judge gave him one
week in which to file his petition with
the supreme court for mandamus.

one was Booth"

The tragedian was closely followed

Fashion Cameras Designs for Summer Wear

very chic French chapeaux are trim
med directly at the back.
The shepherdess shape which Is SUI
premely simple and sweetly feminine
is the midsummer favorite for garden
party wear with thin frocks. This
shape has a crown of large size but
medium height set on a straight brim
that does not slope downward in a
mushroom fashion, but droops a bit
demurely at front and back. These
shepherdess hats have crowns of flow
ers, small blossoms like violets, roses
or hydrangea flowers being sewed to
a stiff net foundation and sometimes
there are ribbon or velvet streamers,
fastened under the brim of the hat and
knotted loosely just below the back of
the neck. One of these dark velvet
ribbon streamers, drawn forward over
the shoulder in an artlessly careless
way, has the youthful and becoming
effect of a long dark braid of hair
hanging over the shoulder
Lace and tulle are much used with
these wide brimmed hats, and in fact,
lace is a feature of all summer MILL
merry. Chantilly and Brussels laces are
shirred over the crowns and brims and
huge bows of the lace, well wired, are
placed at one side or across the back
of the hat. There are many ways of
applying the lace on the straw, and
one can hardly go amiss. Black chan
tilly on white or cream colored straw
with trimming of pale yellow flow
ers is particularly smart in effect The
white or blonde laces are prettiest over
the colored straws and the flower trim
mings repeat the color effects. Even
a handsome lace veil can be utilized
in this way and many women are u.s.
ing the handsome mystery wells in
chantilly patterns over this summers
straw hats--a vastly more becoming
way of wearing the veil than over the
face itself. If there is any millinery

WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Comparing conditions now and twen-
ty years ago one is astonished at the
number of women engaged in many
lines of business which twenty years
ago were regarded as requiring the
services and business acumen of man
to make them successful. Today wo-
men are invading all fields and dem
onstrating that they are fully capable
of holding their own and achieving
substantial success.
Among the women of our city who
have made a splendid success in busi-
ness is Miss Madeline Daley, who be-
gan in a small way in the music COM
posing and publishing business. Miss
Daley's business has grown until now
she is one of the mot prominent pub
fishers in Los Angeles Her offices
in suite 2O9 Blanchard building are
crowded every day with customers
who have been attracted by her fair
dealing and unqualified success.
Miss Daley is the originator of the
Musical Bit club, membership in
which costs only two dollars a year,
and entities one to fifteen of the mu-
sical-bits as they appear during that
time.
We predict an even larger success
for Miss Daley and her many friends
will continue to watch her career with
interest and pride.

1t would be a hopelessly homely
woman indeed who did not look pretty
under one of the bewitching summer
hats. Never were shapes so graceful
and so flattering; never were trim
mings so dainty and so typically fem
mime as now. Midsummer and mid
winter hat styles are always more pic
turesque than the tailored models which
come out earlier in the season, and this
summer midsummer styles have a
charm and a prettiness unequalled in
years.
And the best of it is the new hats
are delightfully."- easy to trim. Almost
any woman can cover a big straw hat
with lace, twist soft ribbon around
the crown and tuck a rose against the
ribbon at one side. But before these
artfully simple steps are taken one
has to be sure of several things; for
one thing, that the shape is right, that
the brim has the correct droop and
the curl upward is in the right place,
and that the crown is high enough, yet
not too high to accord with the width
of the brim. Then, too, the location
of that rose makes all the difference
in the world One would naturally sup
pose that the left side of the front
was the proper place for a rose, but
as a matter of fact this is the last
place the milliners would think of just
now. The right side, near the back,
is much more desirable from a modish
point of view, and indeed many of the
