Police Court Trial.

The p!tiful story OF lone girls bat |

uphill struggle to support herself. an
invalid mother and two little sisters
from the meagre earnings eked out
by a clerkship in a large department
store, and OF her subsequent self
abandonment to a life OF shame as
the easiest way" was unfolded IN
police court yesterday afternoon. when
Ethel Hicks, caught in the red light
raid Of Thursday night was arraigned
on a charge Of disorderly conduct
Ethel was thrown upon the mercies
of the world at a tender age by the
death of her father, who left a sick
wife and three little mouths to be fed.
The girl left her home In COlona for
the city, and there found employment
in a large department store. There was
but slight Joy In life for the little
maiden, who, alone in a great city,
faced the many snares and pitfalls
which beguile the unwary, with a
brave heart and an ambition to do"
From early IN the morning until late
at night, she stood behind the counter.
When the bell rang for the closing
hour, she was often so weary, foot
sore and exhausted that she could
scarcely drag herself TO her small and
uninviting hall bed room. Her wages
amounted 10 but $500 a week, and
this sum was insufficient TO provide
for her own wants. 70 make no men

At the close OF her story, the girl
collapsed. and sobblng and laughing
In turn, became hysterical, 80 that 1t
was necessary for the court TO take
a recess OF several minutes before the
hearing could proceed further.
The girl Was taken from 219 Twen-

but three others. Col Joseph r. Baldwin,
David VI. Newbold. jr., and William AL
len. have steadfasuy refused to get off
the ticket. and will be deposed by the
convention. which will be controlled by
the regular republican organization.
Although it is expected there will be
some Roosevelt delegates in the conven-
tion the progressive leaders say it is
their desire that the supporters Of Col
Roosevelt should not attend. as they
contend that the convention is illegal.
They argue that under the law vacancies
among the electors can be brought about
only through death or resignation, in
which event the vacancies may be filled
only by the state central committee. The
progressive leaders will hold conference
next Monday and adopt plans for the
nomination of eight Roosevelt electors by
petition.
