up the slit skirtss- Judge Dunno
demanded fin turn.
Then things happened.
Involved in the dispute were Judge
Dunno, District Attorney Charles NJ
Fickert: Mrs. Alice Best president
of the woman's committee of jus
tice; Miss Selma Solomons, secretary
OF the woman's committee of Justice;
Mrs. Kate Sullivan. president of the
oceanside <Woman's club; Mrs. Kate
CappIer and Mrs. Meyer. Blum.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
Here are few things that occurred:
1.-The committee demanded TO know
why the grand jury had not prose-
signatures.
2-The committee demanded to know
why Judge Dunno did not appoint a
new grand jury when he explained
that the present one refused to act
because of lack of evidence.
3-Judge Dunno and District Attorney
Fickert were accused of "passing
the buck"
-Assistant District ATTORNEY Louis
Ferrarf announced his intention TO
appear before the san Francisco
Civic Center league and advise the
women 10 take the matter up with
the attorney general and have the
petition thrown out.
BATTLE Is LAUNCHED
Incidentally the conflict is reach
ing beyond the bounds of Judge
Dunne's courtroom and is stirring con-
siderable discussion in other quar-
tiers regarding the tango and the slit
skirt.
Social leaders of the city when
appraised of the statements of Judge
Dunno viewed the matter from differ
ing angles, which may result in
heated controversy.
The committee from the woman's
committee Of justice in appearing be-
fore Judge Dunno succeeded in accom-
plishing a feat that caused no little
surprise around the hall of justice.
They managed to get District At
torney Fickert and Judge Dunno to-
gethe rim an amicable discussion. A
feud of long standing has existed be-
tween the two.
why can't you indict the red light
,forgers?" demanded one of the women
after Fickert was in the courtroom.

but the grand jury threw 1t out
CLASH WITH DUNNE
Why don't you discharge the grand
jury?" was the next demand.
I have the power to do that" re-
piled the Judge, but 1 don't like to
be arbitrary
Here followed a discussion as to
whether or not the Judge had said
he had the power to discharge the
grand jury.
The women challenged his state
ment their anger increasing each
minute. until finally one of them burst
out wit hthe charge that the Judge
was not telling them the truth.
This aroused the Ire of Judge
Dunno and he responded with his ad-
vice regarding the tango and the slit
skirt and dismissed the women.

STOKES WON'T Be

Claims He's Only Receptive
Candidate Declining Clin-
ton Hill Invitation.

Former Governor Edward C. Stokes
will not grace with his presence the
free-for- rail- political bee" to be held
under the auspices of the Clinton Hill
Improvement Association, in Cleve-
land School auditorium, tomorrow
night.
Mr.. Stokes is candidate for Gov
ernor on the Regular Republican
ticket, as others are candidates for
Governor on other tickets.
Governor Fielder and Frank S.
Katzenbach, Democrats, have signi-
fed their intention to be on hand and
speak and to answer questions if nee
essory. Edmond B. Osborne dan
Everett Colby, Progressives, have no
tilted the managers to count them
among those to be at the party, as
have also former Congressman
Charles N. Fowler and State Senator
Franklin B. Pierce. Republican candi-
Aates.
Former Governor Stokes entertains
ideas of his own as to his candidacy,
and the idea Of attending the school
hall meeting. In courteous reply to
the invitation of Theodore S. Fettin-
ger, president of the association, to
attend, Mr., Stokes points out that he
is a candidate in the receptive sense
of the term, not a self-seeking candi-
date for the nomination. His accept

CAM|NETT| PLANS
TO BLAME D|GGS.
The Formers Defense, Which
Starts Today, Expected to
Be on That Basis.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.--The de-
Tense began today It's task of at
tempting to clear F. Drew Caminetti
of the charge of having transported
Lola Norris from Sacramento, Cal,
to Reno, New, for immoral purposes.
1t sought to lay all responsibility for
the fateful excursion on the shoulders
of Maury I. Diggs, who has been
characterized as the leader of the
party, and who has been convicted
of having violated the Mann White
Slave Traffic act in taking Marsha
Warrington on that journey.
When Dfggs was on trial it was on
the slight figure Of the Warrington
girl that his attorneys tried to place
the burden. Caminetti however, an
nounced before his trial began that
he would not pursue q similar course
with Miss Norris, that he would
make no effort to controvert her story
ftheir relations.
throughout Miss Norris's ordeal on
the witness-stand yesterday she gave
no hint of resentment toward the man
whom she said had accomplished her
downfall. She denied that she still
cared for him, but her testimony
INDICATED no desire for any reprisal
She even admitted that she had
made this statement to a friend:
II do not see how any testimony
| could give could hurt Drew, for he
never did anything I asked him not
to do, or that did not want to do.
But previously she had made what
the prosecution regarded as strong
admission in support of the govern
ment: Mr. Caminetti said All that
Diggs has told you is right. All four
of us will have to CO.,
The defense today tried to empha-
size piggs's leadership in the esca-
pade, to make it appear that Camin-
etti was merely a plant, passive fig
ure in the incidents and discussions
that led up to the trip.
1t is expecter that the defense will
rest it's case tomorrow, tand tina
Caminetti's fate fill be with the jury
by Friday evening

EXPLAINS ENGLISH
Church CONDITION
Abbot Gasquet Denies State
ments Bearing on the An
glican Faith.

Exception to statements credited to
him in interviews was taken today by
the Rt. Rev. Francis A. Gasquet,
head of the international commission
for revision of the Vulgate, who is
making st. Mary's Abbey. in this city,
his headquarters during his stay in
this country.
The exceptions were based on ref
erences to religious conditions in
England, his home. Abbot Gasquet
said today:
II am represented in several inter-
views as saying that outside of the
Catholic Church the condition of re-
ligion in England is deplorable.' This
is altogether far beyond what I either
said or thought.
rThere Is much good work being
done by the various religious bodies
in England, but the inroads of inf
deity are becoming very obvious in
bodies other than the Catholic.
Further, j never could have said
that the Anglican bishops are frankly
free thinkers for it is most certainly
not the case. They are earnest, good
men, and, as far as I know, anything
but free-thinkers.
THAT they have not full authority
over their clergy is the fault of the
system they administer, where wide
differences on the most essential
points of Christian teaching exist
among the members of the Estab-
lished Church, who are nevertheless
in full communion with each other"
Sixty lantern slides to be used in
illustrating lectures by Abbot A. Gas
uet are being held up by the customs
officials of New York, and the pre-
late today attempted to recover them.
He brought the lantern slides with
him when he arrived in Hoboken on
Monday, but the customs authorities
refused to admit them into this coun-
try free of duty pending further in
uiry.
The slides are to be used to illus
trate the lectures on the work of the
revision commission.
when l came to this country nine
years ago. said the prelate, II also
brought number of lantern slides
with me. At that time the customs
people declared the slides were sub
ject to duty, but upon protest to the
collector of the port they were adj
mitted free. l have no doubt that
when / explain to the authorities to-
day the purpose of bringing the slides
here L will be permitted to take
them"

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. g.

Xxi, s years old, of 800 Warren street.

with stealing the biscuits, but he
came on the other lads when they
were in alot in Warren street near
the warehouse, and was permitted to
share the feast.
Monday night when he was taken
Ill he told his parents of having eaten
the biscuits. Yesterday morning the
little fellow was In agony. His father
then ran to the City Hall and had
the police send physician, DR.. Ack-
erman, to his home. But by the time
the doctor got there the child was
dead.
The police befan an investigation
and gained an important clue when
11-year-old Stanley Kavaloski, of S12
Sixth street, was taken to st. Fran
cis's Hospital in condition that in
dictated. last night, that he had little
chance for his life.
Stanley said thai he and some
other boys had made their way into
the Butler Brothers warehouse and,
finding box of biscuits on win
dow sill, had taken them. They went
to nearby lot, and he said that he
and at least five other boys partook
freely of the biscuits. He said they
had tasted a little queer
By the time he had told this much
his condition became SO dangerous
and his agony so great that the po-
lice had to abandon any further at
tempts to question him as to the iden-
tity of his other companions
