DANCES OF TODAY ARE

Boston Physician Gays Present FASH
ion Profane Our Civilization.

Atlantic City, July 6.-"The hope Of
America lies in the renaissance of
home life and the awakening of wom-
an to the grandeur of her mission to
mother this very weary nation" said
DR.. Frank c. Richardson of the Boston
University to the American Institute
of Homeopathy at its convention.
He condemned the feminist move
ment because it leads woman to take
up the vices as well as the manners OF
men," The modern fashion he char
acterized as designed for the Paris
demi-monde" and leaving little to
the imagination" The new dances
are social ulcers in his view.
Does it not seem that a repressive
legislative campaign might reason
ably include the suppression of the
present dress fashions, which profane
our civilization and are an indecent
assault upon our common sense?" he
asked. "There seems to exist rivalry
as to how far the female form may
be publicly disclosed without infring
ing the law against indecent ex
posure."

PREVENTS
FIGHT IN COURT
Officer And Prisoner Engage In Hot
Dispute.

A clash in the City Court today be-
tween Officer Moore and Henry De-
Witt was prevented by Judge Batson
only by the threat Of heavy punish
ment unless order was restored at
once.
Dewitt made the charge that he was
being prosecuted instead of prosecuted
and that Moore was drunk at the time
he arrested Dewitt for exceeding the
speed limit. Officer Moore resented
the charge and there were threats of
violence made.
Dewitt was found guilty of exceed
ing the speed limit and fined $3.50.
The arrest was made yesterday at the
corner of Eighth and Bouie streets.
Dewitt said he was riding a motor
cyle and had young lady on behind.
He narrowly escaped an additional
fine for contempt of court.

gaming and fined IS each. The game
was 'Skinning, which seems to be sup
planting the once popular game of
Craps.
Bob Butler, negro, was fined $3.50
for assault and battery on Julia Mitch
ell. The trouble started, she said, when
Bob wouldn't pay his board bill, which
was $3.50 per month and long overdue.
William Reed. charged with ma
licious mischief, was dismissed be-
cause no one appeared to prosecute
him.
Judge Batson dismissed half dozen
messenger boys who were arrested on
charge of fighting. He gave them a
solemn warning not to let it occur
again, but there was a twinkle in his
eye when he inquired who won the
fight

TO JAIL CASTLEMAN
Governor Brewer Will Be Witness In
RebuttaI For Satellite Chance
That Case Will End Before Close
OF Week.-Mrs. Matte Plunkitt
Still Missing.
(By Associated PresS.)

Jackson, Miss, July 6.-The defense
in the case of Lieutenant Governor
Theodore G. Bilbo, charged with ac-
cepting bribes, closed its case today.
The defendant was his own final wit
ness.
The direct and cross-eXamination Of
Bilbo lasted only thirty minutes and
consisted OF sweeping denial of the
evidence offered by the state.
Bilbo admitted going to the hotel
on the night of January 80 of last
year knowing that Hobbs had an ap-
pointment with Castleman, but he said
it was his purpose, if Castleman Of
ferred him bribe, to put him in Jail.
He denied emphatically that he had
told Hobbs to take any money from
Castleman.
The state then presented several
prominent citizens of Greenville and
| Washington counties who testified Cas-
tleman has a good reputation for truth
y and veracity
Will Last Through Week.
There is little reason to believe that
the trial can be concluded before the
close of the current week. The state
has large array of witnesses in re
buttal. Governor Brewer will prob
ably be the first witness offered. The
character of his testimony is well
known, as it will no doubt closely fol
low the lines of his evidence in the
Hobbs trial at Vicksburg.
Interest in the states rebuttal large
ly centers on Ira Sample. 1t was Sam
pie who arranged for the placing q
detectophones in the rooms of the
Vicksburg and Jackson hotels.
Already attorneys for the state and
defense are engaged in preparing the
instructions they will ask Judge Teat
to present to the jury.
1t was currently reported around the
court room today that when the argu
ment stage is reached Bilbo may plead
his own case before the jury.
Miss Matte Plunkett, state librari
an, summoned as witness for both thu
state and defense is still missing.
