cred outside the gate to wait for the re-
turn of the machine When the machine
and the photographer returned they
rushed the ''freshies,' thinking that they
were the ''sODhs. After an explanation
the 'freshies' returned to the flag pole,
where they had their official picture
taken.
The trouble, however, was not over, for
while the pictures had been taken, the
plates had not yet been developed, and
the ''sophs" again rushed the pho
tographeT with the hope of destroying the
plates. At this point President ]. T.
Kingsbury, fearing trouble, went to the
scene and ordered the crowd to dispense.
The freshmen went to the edge of the
campus and were about to disband, when
they heard that the sophOmOres had
taken the street cars and intended to cap
ture the photographer while on the way
to his studio In order to make the pic
ture d sure go, the entire freshmen class,
marching with the photographer in a hOl-
low square, conducted him in safety TO
his studio.
When the crowd reached the Brigham
Young monument they again lined up for
picture which they might keep as a
memento of their efforts to get into the
year book.
During the first attack A. Sorenson, a
sophomore, was captured by the lower
ciassmen and given haircut. 1t is prob
able that other haircuts and some more
disturbances will result from the trouble
of Friday.

NEWTON HITS BACK
At CITY ATTORNEY
Ayers That Office is Trying to
Force Change in Prose-
cutting Migrants.

The strength of Salt Lakes vagrancy
law as a weapon in the prosecution of
macquereaux occupied several hours
OF the attention of Judge J. NJ. Bow
man in police court yesterday after
noon. Arguments between J. p. Daily,
assistant city attorney. and William
Newton, counsel for the disgusting male
element. were fiery, and once the long
row of macquereaux burst into APP
plause as their legal representative
contradicted certain interpretations of
the vagraney law.
In an answer to arguments present
ed by Mr., DAILY, Attorney Newton
opened charges against the city attor-
ney's office, in which he limited that
DAILY was attempting to force Judge
Bowman to accept the Interpretation
of the vagrancy law as DAILY saw 1t, in
view of bringing about prosecutions
Then waving his hands and stamping
his feet Newton began an attack upon
Judge Bowman
You cannot change your attitude to-
ward the vagrancy law as regards its
validity in the prosecution of those
represent You have on various occa-
sions been confronted by situations just
like this one and you have invariably
held that q man alleged to receive
money from a lewd woman cannot be
convicted of vagrancy"
Judge Bowman made no response.
With numerous citations from deci-
siOns and interpretations of the vag-
rancy law handed down by the SUI
preme bench on various occasions, At
torney DAILY attempted to Show that the
macquereaux was the very lowest type
of a vagrant, in that he secured his
liyeliho God at the expense of an unfor-
tunate woman. AS he continued he ex-
planned that the macquereaux caused
the community much trouble.
Judge Bowman announced from the
bench that the hearing of the macquer-
eauX was set for Monday.

to get their official class picture taken.
After they had been in place several min
utes and the photographer was about
ready to do the final stunt, some of the
sOphOmOres threw d sack of flour from
a top window and the picture was
spoiled.
Wednesday afternoon the freshmen
again lined up for their picture with the
assurance from the faculty that the
'sOphs" would not interfere. The girls
in their best gowns and the boys with
bright and smiling faces were again ready
for the official snap when the -sOphs
rushed them and the picture was again
spoiled.
In desperation the freshmen decided to
make sure go of the picture Friday aft
ernOOn. They secured a photographer
and an automobile and started for the
campus The "sophs' had in some way
secured the tip and when the machine
appeared at the campus gates they rushed
it with the hope of destroying the pho

The driver of the machine saw the trOu-

yesterday afternoon when the train was
ten miles out OF ogden bound for Salt
