WOMEN TRY TO SHIELD MAN
GIRLS FIGHTING HIM.

Chicago, June 1.-THE trial OF
Evelyn Arthur See, "revealer' OF
the cult of the absolute life" which
is in progress in Chicago is a tug
of war between women and girs,
with three tugging frantically to free
See and three others tugging Just as
frlnjical'y at the rope Of the law to
convict him. See IS charged with
abducting l7-year-old Mildred Bridges,
pretty, immature girl, who was
found living at his flat-with her
mothers consent-when that place
was raided by the police several
months ago
Mildred, with Mona Rees, who also
lived at the flat We're picked by the
revealers to be the mothers of a new
race Of men and women, who would
do away with such mundane things as
matimony and live a free, untram-
meled life.
The peculiar phase of the case is
that Mrs. Sephen Fl. Bridges, mother
OF the young girl, is one of the strong

the cult She. with the Rees girl and
Mrs. Falecia Rees, the mother, are
those on whom See relies TO free
himself from the predicament
On the other side are Mildred
Bridges, Esther Anderson and Flor
once McKeon, the la-ter two Of whom
are said to have been lurcd into
the cult by See.
In the trial, See will be his own
principal counsel, although an at
torney has been provided for him
by Mrs. Bridges. He declares that
his religion will save him from con-
viction and that he has no need for
the weapons of law.

win, of Bowling Green, who has been
sitting i'm the local court of common
pleas during the past few weeks. has
been given in the case of William Mil
Ter against the state of Ohio. II Is a
decision of utmost importance not
only In Marion county but throughout
the state. In this case Miller a driver

B EMMETT STREET TO Be
PLACED IN GOOD SHAPE
County and City to Share
The Expense.
Meeting of City Council and County
Commissioners Held Wednesday.
The Procedure.

At joint meeting of the city coun-
ell ana the board of county commits
sioners, held in the commissioners Of
lice, Wednesday afternoon, the dues-
tion of improving Bennett street from
Davlds street 10 the corporation line
was discussed. The commissioners
showed willingness to have the
county bear part of the expense OF the
Improvement ana it is likely that an
agreement will be reached soon.
Bennett street, I'M it's present condi-
tion. Is almost unfit for travel and
1t is said that many children living
on the thoroughfare are unable to
attend school during bad weather.
The roadway Is several feet above the
sidewalk and viii have to be lowered
and leveled. II is likely that after
being cut down II will be covered
with tar ana macadam. The work
would necessltatc the expenditure OF
considerable money.
Some time ago the city council
passed an ordinances to improve the
street but later it was decided that
the county ought to share the ex-
pense. AS result it was decided to
confer with the commissioners.
1t is claimed by the city authorities
that all streets inside the city that
have no curhinEi are really county
highways. Bennett street has no
Curbing.
In the past the city and county
have concurrci several times in th-'
matter of improving streets and after
ward the county has been prevented
from paying It's share because of legal
objections. The city officials are go
ing to make certain in the case OF
Bennett street that everything is legal
before they proceed.

Tally Ways Entertain a

THREE MORE DAYS OF FUN
Many Forms of Amusement
Running Full Blast.
First Night n Succcss-Crowd Claims
IL the Best AFFAIR OF Its Kind.
Cosnmittcc Are Making Prepara-
tlons for u Larger Crowd This Even
ing-Danclng u Feature.

Pcals of laughter and noise equal
to the thundcrbolts rang forth from
the Tally Wag club rooms last night
indicating that the large crowd which
had entered during the evening was
being entertained in royal style. Trou-
blcs and bothersomc thoughts were
laid aside, those attending declaring
the affair a cure for the blues of the
deepest hue
The club rooms were decorated in
the patriotic red. white and blue.
Three booths of gypsy fortune tellers,
dressed I'm the gay colors of the Ori-
cnt, foretold the past. present and fu-
turc. The Randy Kids had laid i'm an
abundant supply of delicious home
made candy, which found ready sale
among the people possessing sweet
tooth. The old Heidelberg booth at
tracted lots OF attention. This was
presided over by the Dutch Riddles,
arrayed in the picturesque costumes
of the Dutch, wooden shoes and all
that goes with them.
People may cease their mourning
for the Grand this week as an opera
house has been improviscd by the
club members and a troupe Of color
ed singers and dancers entertain the
crowd in a delightful manner. The
country store, where cigars, tobacco,
and all manner of noise in the form
Of squawkers, whistles. rattlcrs. etc,
were handed over the counter. was
fitted up in rustic fashion and attract
cd q great deal of attention. The Jap
anese Girls, dressed in the national
costume Of Japan. served tea through
out the evening.
The Oriental midway was there
with its Hindu barker. Many found
pleasure in watching the wheel of
fortune roll. Other forms of amuse-
ment pleased the crowd. Clowns in
fantastic costumes circulated among
the people and added to the fun. The
two Mr.. Clderbarrclstelns, typical
Germans, sold the beverage their
name signifies.
The dance hall, in which the Me-
Neal orchestra furnished the music,
was well patronized and will be open
the remaining three nights of the
carnival. The committee was well
pleased with the opening night and
is making preparations for larger
crowd this evening. The public is
invited to attend.

ing n delivery of beer to residence
i'm the city.
There is no denial of the evidence
and counsel for the accused practical
~ concedc that the proof is sufficient
save i'm one respect II is urged that
thcre Is no proof that the accused
furnished beer as beverage or TO
be used as n beverage. While there
Is no direct proof that the beer was
furnished for beverage purposes
neither that it was furnished for anv
of the privileged purposes, yet there
are certain facts and circumstances
in evidence which properly should be
considered in determining the pur-
pose for which the beer was being
furnished.
The accused had a wagon contain
ing five cases Of beer. put up in the
form ana style in which il is COM
monty sold as a beverage. He dellv-
cred a full case to Mr.. Marble. This
and manner of delivery tends
to indicate that 1t was for beverage
purposes; and the admission of the
accused to the officer, That he was
delivering beer and that he was
making deliveries all over the city,
accords with the iGca OF furnishing
the liquor to be used as a beverage,
ana Is inconsistent with an inference
that 1t was for any Of the privileged
purposes. II could hardly be con-
ceived that the accused had so many
calls for beer which, under the law,
might be legitimately furnished as to
require the carting Of 50 great
quantity and to be delivered to so
many places in the city in single
day.
The circumstances warranted the
finding that the beer was furnished
for beverage purposes as charged in
the affidavit The court did not err
in overruling the several motions of
the accused nor in any Of the matters
of. Finding no error in
the record the judgment is affirmed
at the cost of the plaintiff in error"

sented by Scoheld and Durfee and

The prospects are that beginning

will advertise for bids on about two
miles of stone sidewalks and several
sewers to be constructed in various
sections of the city. All of thes i'm"

During the past few years the
city council ADOPTING a policy of re-
trenchmcnt in the matter of ex-
penses, has passed few Improvement
ordinances. the desire being to get
the sinking fund in the best possible
shape. Previous to 1908 improvements
We're made on large scale and as
n result the city debt became almost
unwieldy. The present council and
the one preceding practically shut
down on all work of this kind and
as result the debt Is at the lowest
figure shown in many years. Many
new improvements are needed and at
present work will be resumed, but on a
more cautious scale than in former
years.
In 1907 over Sl5O,OOO was spent I'm
