Special 10 The Tribune.
OGDEN, Jan. IA decision 20 in.

troversy. Mrs. Sarah \. Nicholson, the
mother, or Mrs. Ruella r. Curtis, the
grandmother and also foster-mother,

tody Of the two minor children, was
the action taken by Judge y. J. Harris
today in the habcas corpus proceedings
for possession Of Ruola Victoria and
Albert Bolander Curtis.
The hearing was entered upon this
morning after 4 supplemental writ of
habeas corpus had been served upon
Chief of Police w. |. Norton SO that
he could bring Mrs. Curtis and the chill
dren into court, and was continued TO a
later hour in the day. When it was
necessary to drop the hearing in order
to take up another case, Judge Harris
continued the matter until next Tues
day. He ordered that Mrs. Curtis be
returned TO the city Jail, where she is
held pending trial on a charge OF petty
larceny and that the children be placed
in the care of Mrs. Hagbart Anderson,
matron at the city jail. The children
objected strcnuouslv to being parted

the children Mrs. Alice Chandler, pro-
prietor of the Colonial rooming house,

the children have lived since last fall,

HObbLE SKIRT IS
SCORED BY JUDGE
Immoral, Danger and Menace
to Health, According to
Volney c. Gunnell.
Special TO The Tribune.

Specini 10 Ine Trfbune.
OGDEN, Jan. 17.-Decrying the ten
denotes of present-day fashion for WON.
en-, Judge volney C. Gunnell of the ju-
venile court Of Ogden City, has threat.
ened campaign against the hobble
skirt On the pronounced grounds that il
is not only wicked and in some instances
unlawful, but that il also places tho
wearers In the light of "heing so ridic-
qqlously hobbled as to make them OBJ.
lccts OF pity as well as ridiculous. ~
Judge Gunnell bases his arraignment of
the tight-ftting skirt on the assumption
that II comes within the scope OF his
supervision of matters pertaining to the
welfare Of girls and young women.
The Juvenile judge does not hesitate
to declare that the hobble skirt is be-
ing carried to extremes. There is not
day while he is going TO and from his
home that Judge Gunnell fails TO notice
high school girls, according TO his own
statements, trying to "make' the
bench hill with their legs dangerously
and evidently painfully bound and made
nearly useless by tight skirts Also,
in the words of Judge Gunnell:
1t is p common thing to see
young girls trying to get over ice
or through snow and mud so ridic-
ulously hobbled as to make them
objects Of pity as well rs ridiculous.
Even if the girl avoids falling on
the icy sidewalk she is denied the
benefits of the healthful exercise
of walking naturally and grace
fully.
Another and very important
point is that If girl or young lady
is not lost to all modesty she must
feel deep shame and sorrow over
being observed by many as thing
to be laughed at and by others as
creature deserving OF pity and
needing assistance.
II Is serious question whether
the Juvenile officers should permit
this sort Of thing to continue. It
surely is actual abuse of the child
to either cause or permit girls to
be so dressed, even if they are so
enslaved to the prevailing fashion
rs to desire It.
Tho parents come in for their share
Of censure under Judge Gunnell s view
point, the juvenile court official believ-
ing that the mothers should exercise
moro thought in the matter of seeing
that the girls are comfortably dressed

WOMEN FLOCK 70 PRIMARIES

Through a cold drizzle that carried
threats of pneumonia, suffrage work
ers motored and tramped today all
over the city in a final effort to swell
the registration of women voters be-
fore the city elections on April Z.
Today was the second and last reg
istration day. Mrs. Harriette Taylor
Treadwell, president of the Chicago.
Political Equality League, predicts
that $4,000 more women would reg
lister before night, raising the total
registration of women in Chicago to
243,000. At the first registration day

RRIcKMAKERs ON sTRIKE

The brickmakers of Chicago struck
yesterday as result of the arbitrary
attitude of the brick manufacturers.
The move of the workingmen may tie
up all Chicago building industry.
One result of the strike was shown
last night when 200 bricklayers emf
ployed on sewer work were laid off
in addition to 200 teamsters. The
brickmakers want an increase of s.
cents an hour. They have not had
an increase in four years. +
Peter Shaughnessy, president of
the Bricklayers', whose organization
was the first to feel the effect of the
strike, is trying to bring about media

tion," said Merriam, land if nothing
has been done l want to find out
why"
Merriam said that if the recon-
mendations still applicable had not
been acted on they should be imme-
diately. This action will mean that
Chicago will again become the scene
of vice investigation.
Merriam also wants to know what
the health department has done to-
ward checking the growth of vener-
cal diseases. At the time the COM
mittee made it's report conditions in
that regard were alarming.
Another recommendation which
has never been carried out was for
municipal lodging house for wo-
men. Municipal court judges have
long complained of the lack of such
a place.
Right now in Chicago there is no
place for woman without money to
go unless it is to jail If woman
finds herself late at night without
money with which to rent a room
there is no institution to which she
can go. This fact has been proven.
Besides these, there were many
recommendations that ought to be
revived and something done. Now
that women are full-fedged citizens
there is chance for action, for they
take more interest in vital social
problems than men do.
And they are not afraid to tackle
the problems that staggered the Chi
cago Vice Commission.
