Modern Fashions for
Women Blamed by
Judge as Crime Cause
Clothing Designed to Display
Feminine Charms Open Invi-
tation for Insult, He Says.

MILWAUKEE, WIS. July "a
Womens clothing designed to display
feminine charm are the cause of crime
and are an open invitation for insult,
according to Judge Backus, Of the Mil
waukee municipal court. The comment
was called forth by the statement that
the murderer of Julia Corners in New
York was driven insane by beautifully
madeup women.
These dresses" said Judge Backus,
ARE an invitation to men to accost
the wearers. Girls initiate their elders
and | often sit and hear testimony in
cases where these girls are involved
and wish we could get back to the
days Of hoop skirts, when such a dis
play of form was unknown l thor
oughly believe 1t may be true. as the
New York youthful murderer declared.
that he was led to his crime by the
passion inspired by modern immodest
clothing"
