WINE ROOM ARE:
JAILED BY.POlICE
Authorities Are Also On Lookout for
Joy Riders" of the Wee
Small Hours.

The police department Is waging
vigorous campaign against women
frequenting wine rooms in saloons
throughout the city.
Last night three were arrested as
they were leaving down town re-
sort over a saloon, and a charge will
be preferred against them this
morning in Judge Lutzs court
Within the past few days many
women and men have been arrested
for the same offense in an effort to
break up the custom, or curb it as
much as possible. This applies to
blacks as we'll as whites, a whole
sale raid being made several even
ihes ago on certain negro joints
resulting in the falling of about 25
men and women and their subse-
qucut fning the next day.
The police are looking out for
10y riders who make it a prac-
tice to go Summing in the red light
district and then take the women
riding about the streets in small
hours Of the morning.
A number Of these parties have
been run IN" lately and the par

UNHERALDED BUTNOT UNSEEN
DOES REAL SLIT SKIRT COME

The extreme slit skirt, the lat
est conceit of Dame Fashion. has
arrived in Cairo.
Whatever objection has been
brought against it. whatever char
acter of praise has been said for 1t
or whatever doubt existed that such
fashion would not prevail in this
city, has been put to rout by a
stern reality, for the very thing in
question was visible on the streets
yesterday.
The wearer was chic looking
blonde. with one of those large
picture hats, French heel shoes, a
smile and of course the skirt in
question. Some one ayered that it
was a debatable question whether
or not it could be called skirt.
Be that as it may, one could
hardly resist describing the crea-
tion, fact of the matter is, the de-
scription fingers.

DEFENSE: TAKES
up IT'S PART
IN FRISCO TRIAL
To Prove That Defendants Did Not
Make Reno Trip for I'm
moral Purposes.
WIVES OF TWO MEN
WILL GO ON STAND.

San Francisco, Aug Ia Maury
l. Diggs got into fresh trouble to-
night and out of 1t.
Leaving the federal building by
the side entrance, to shield his wife,
his mother ana three aunts from
public curiosity he was ambushed
by squad OF newspaper photog
raphers, The women tried to run
but the photographers kept pace
with them swapping them with
their cameras as they ran.
Somebody snatched camera,
somebody punched a photographers
face, bystanders joined in and in an
instant there was free for all
fight
In the center of the whirling
crowd Diggs was swept into the
vortex and began to struggle with
The rest,
Soon squad of police bccame at
tracted to the melee and the whole
crowd was bundled up into a patrol
wagon and taken to the police sta
ton
There ii developed after much ar
gument that one photographer had
been hammered over the head with
something hard, by whom he could
not be sure. A reporter said the
photographer had been smashed in
the face with his own camera.
AS the upshot of the whole affair
Diggs was released and his friends
were charged with battery.
In the more serious trouble that
Just now engulfs Diggs, the govern
ment rested it's case at noon. and
the defense took up the burden OF
proving that Diggs and S. Drew
3amnetti did not transport Marsha
| Warrington and Lola Norris from
Sacramento to Reno for immora
purposes in violation of the Manr
white slave act.
So far as the opening statemen
of Attorney Jeylin for the defens,
indicated, no attempt will be mad,
to show that the girls did not ac
company the young men to Reno
that Diggs did not buy the tickets
that Caminetti did not draw tn,
money or that their relations dil
not fall within the statutes.
The counsel for the defense an
nounced tonight that Mrs. Digg

of the defendants would take tn
stand for their husbands and tha
