According to reports received the Main
cafe case has not been finally disposed
OF, but that it will go on now from the
court Of appeals to the United States SUI
premc court to determine whether the
federal government is itself right or
wrong In fact the merits OF the case
are being entirely forgotten by the alb
sorbing interest of the legal tangle In
which the government finds itself.
When Inspector Whitfield. representing
the government came here he was given
no authority to open up this case, which
involved the moral standing of five
Greeks who were not as yet naturalized.
He called in twenty girls. all of whom,
according 20 the story. testified to i'm
moral conditions existing there. Whit
field sent in his evidence and secured
pUpers for deportation. Then came the
efforts of defendants attorneys, and they
resorted to habeas corpus proceedings
and won out at hearing at Dubuque.
The question now goes up to the powers
which created it for an Interpretation Of
eminent inspectors.
All agree nearly, tnat tne eNdIllnatlon
made of the twenty girls by Inspector
Whitfield was nothing more than a star

portunity to present their side of the

Thousands OF folks recommend this

moisten a sponge or soft brush with IT,
