ELEVEN ARRESTED.
The Hatpin Ordinance in the City Of
New Orleans.

New Orleans States April 2: Miss
Edna Lichtenstein of 1904 Caronde-
let street bears the distinction of be-
ing the first defendant under the
Newman hatpin ordinance. Wednes-
day morning, acting upon instruc-
tons of Superintendent of Police
Reynolds, Corporal Eugene Casey
and Patrolman Claverie made affida-
Wits against six women who wore
hatpins that projected. Five others
besides Miss Lichtenstein appear as
defendants in afiidavits in two
courts, the First Recorders and the
Second Recorders.
The horror which the women be-
lieved would be experienced by be-
ing subjected to arrest seems to
have been dissipated during the first
mornings work of the police.
Instead of being subjected to hui
initiation, those who fell victims be-
fore the scrutinizing gaze of the cor
poral and patrolman, were made to
feel, owing to the respectful manner
in which they were approached
that they need fear nothing. How
ever, the policemen had large
crowds following them as they
worked.
But Corporal Casey, in most
dignified manner, took every pre-
caution so as not to leave the i'm
preston that it was a joke, at the
same time being careful not to af-
fend any of the women he ap-
lproached.

the other from Chicago, and as the
visitors knew nothing of the law
they were cautioned and permitted
to go.
At no time during the mornings
work of enforcing the Newman ordi-
nance was any unpleasantness ex-
perlenced. The women resigned
themselves to their fate smilingly.

The FullilOve Ordinance.

The citizens of Shreveport who
favor law and order have heard with
satisfaction the views of Judge L. +,
Bell of the District Court, over the
issue involved in the injunction
pleading of H. Dehan, convicted re-
Gently in the City Court, Judge L. C.
Blanchard, of violating what is
known as the Fullilove ordinance.
Dehan's contention abbreviated is
that the ordinance is arbitrary, OPP
pressive and unconstitutional and
disputes the right of the police to
search his premises for intOxicants.
In a well digested opinion, sup
ported by ample legal authorities,
Judge Bells opinion is that the ordl-
nance is constitutional, that it is
good law, and can be enforced by
the police of the city.
In a review of Dehan's pleading to
enjoin the police from searching his
premises for intoxicants, Judge Bell
made clear the main points of the
complainant.
First, that the blind tiger ordi-
nance is legal.
Second, that what constitutes the
evidence of guilt, the finding of in
tOxicants in the premises, is not in
volved in this injunction and there
fore is delayed for future reference.
Third, that the police have the
right to search premises, as neces-
sary to enforce another law.
Fourth, Dehan's contention is that
if the court of the city has the right
to order a search, it could not en-
force this search in order to get evil
dence for a violation that was not
against any State or Federal stat
ute. Judge Bell held that to this
combination of contentious, abiding
in the petition of the defendant, he
had already expressed an opinion
which would apply here.
The finding Of liquor by itself is
not prima facfe evidence that it was
kept for illicit sale, but must be
provable, by evidence, on the trial
of the accused.
The injunction against the city's
right to search premises suspected
of violation of the blind tiger ordi-
mace was dismissed. The decision
sustains the right of the city to en-
force the blind tiger ordinance,
which is patterned after the Ruston
ordinance, which the Supreme Court
of Louisiana has decided to be good
law.
The case will follow to the Su-
preme Court.
The city is represented by Hall &
Jack, and Dehan has for counsel
]. M. Foster, w. H. Scheen
and R. D. Webb.
In the court room when Judge
Bells opinion was submitted was
Commissioner Fullilove, whose face
beamed with rejoicing.
Judge Hall expressed himself as
being we'll pleased with the opinion
and is hopefully confident that the
Fullilove ordinance will be sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.
1t is true the ordinance is in
sense arbitrary, but an ordinance
less vigorous and far-reaching
would operate as a mOckery against
the individuals who assume the
right to disregard the laws which
they disapprove.

The Hobson club of Beat held a we'll
attended meeting at Fairview last night.

the club. presided over the meeting. Mr..
Tharpe expressed great satisfaction over
the status of the campaign. Il have
never in all my life said Mr.. Tharpe,
"seen such personal enthusiasm and In
dividual effort as are being exhibited by
the Hobson men in this fight. Our club
now numbers 446, and L find that this
spirit exists all over the county. With
us Hobson is a household word. We have

+ The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
'The daily press is recognized as the
greatest agency for moulding public opin-
ion. The interest of the owners of a.

"On the other hand, the news columns
are the property of the subscriber and
the public, in which they have the un-
questioned right to expect and demand
true and correct accounts of current hap
penings, and items of news. The prejudice
or bias which the owners or proprietors
may entertain on public issues should
not be permitted to exist in the repor-
torial staffs 1t has been common com+
ment that Capt. r. P. Hobson and his
candidacy have not had a square deal
in the news columns of some of orr Lead
