the act is billed. and those who saw
the clever little animals perform ap-
plauded them very heartily. All this
week this new feature will go on at
$3.50 in the afternoon and again at s:3C
at night.
Even the threatening thunder showers
failed TO keep the crowd away from tI-s
park, and hundreds watched the motion

COUNCILMEN ATTEMPT
TO BALK PROSECUTOR
Anxious To Learn Lines To Be
Followed In Detroit
Cases.

DETROIT. Mich. Aug. 0.-That the
eighteen councilmen accused of bribery
and corruption would interpose every
possible obstacle in order to draw the
fire of the prosecutor and thus learn as
much as possible of his probable line of
action was evident from the preliminary
moves of lawyers for the defendants
when they were arraigned today.
The nine men arrested a month ago
for grating were to nave their prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Stein, on
charges of bribery, and then the re-
naming ten, arrested later were to be
arraigned on similar charges.
Alderman Tom Gilman announced
that he would demand a separate hear
ing of the charge that he accepted a
1000 bribe and would fight the case on
every angle to the end.

Fashion Designers Put
Ban on Tight Skirts
Fall Styles Include Long, Loose Draperies With Just
Sash About the Hips, and Very High
Collars

Whether or not the women's organiza-

not known, but fashions barometer
points just now to a more modest type
Of dressing. With a sigh Of relief, old
fashioned people exclaim its high
time
The low-necked, short-sleeved, narrow
skirted, in-stockinged girl of the
spring and summer of 1872 will have
become ancient history within few
weeks, IL fashion manufacturers have
anything to say about it, and the girl of
the fall and winter of the approaching
season will be more modest in every
way.
Her collar will cut her ears, it will be
so high.
Her skirt will almost trail upon the
ground.
1t will be wider. too; not the scanty
thing of this season.
Her hat will be tipped up in the back.
instead of saucily displaying her face
by its upward curve in front.
He sleeves will be long and lace ruff
fies will almost conceal her hands.
Her ankles will be covered and her
shoes will be high.
Sash Is In Favor.
Only a sash draped about the hips and
knotted in front, such as we have seen
Oriental dancers wear, will dipslay her
figure.
All of the deformities which have
nasqueraded as style for the past six
months will go the sward. along with
the hobble skirt. and will be carried
from the scene to slow music.
Perhaps the most startling innovation
in the matter of style will be the collar
which the fashionable girl of the fall
and winter of 1928 will wear. While it
will be as high as the length of the
neck will permit, 1t will not in any way

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

withstanding an injunction by Judge
Mckinley prohibiting interference
with the regular party machinery
Judge Owens said when called before
Judge Mckinley that as county Judge,
he was supreme in matters having to
do with election machinery and that
the superior court was without juris-
diction
In his statement today when he i'm
posed fines, Judge Mckinley scaid:
When Judge Owen left the bench
and went to the convention hall he
ceased to be court and became an
individual His participation in the
violation of the Injunction was as an
individual
The court raped the police for
their part in forcing the doors of the
convention hall
Concluding his statement, Judge
Mckinley said: The judiciary of this
country is now on trial. The result
of that trial depends largely upon the
obedience of one court to superior
one Imprisonment in this case
would tend to disorganize and de-
moralize our government"
AS to LAWN and Malone, he excus-
ed their part in the door-breaking in
cident by the fact that they were act
ing upon the advice of counsel and
upon orders from their superiors. All
the men who We're fined filed notice
immediately of appeal to the supreme

SIR COSMO DUFF-GORDON
ON THE WITNESS STAND

There were no other passengers Wis
ible on deck at the time, Sir Cosmo
said, and It was his impression that
the others were to follow in other
boats.
In answer to questions, Sir Cosmo
said that in the lifeboat in which he
left the Titanic, there was no room
for others, unless the mast had been
thrown out.
Henry G. Duke, NJ p. counsel for
Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff-Gordon, in a
preliminary statement, said that Lady
Duff-Gordon could not have done any
objecting because she was sea-sick.
Sir Cosmo confirmed this.
Henderson, the White Star sailor,
who was in the boat with the Duff.
Gordons. repeated his testimony, and
when cross-examined reiterated his
charge that the Duff-Gordons had pro.
tested against his returning toward the
sinking Titanic when the cries of the
victims were heard.
sailor Symons, who was In charge
OF the lifeboat carrying the Duff Cor
dons, was the next witness, and he in.
sisted that he had not heard either
Lord Or Lady Gordon make anything
in the nature of a protest against go
ing back to the scene of the wreck.
He said he did not return because he
feared that the boat might be swamped
II 1t got into the group of floating vic.
Tins. He said he had used his own
discretion in refusing to return to the
Titanic and that nothing had been
said to him to influence him. symons
admitted. however, that some one
representing the Duff-Gordons' inter
viewed him after HIS return to Eng
land.
