people. Friday they sprung a lot
and the papers printed them.
Her scandal, told in court Fri
day, related all the juicy gossip about
Marshall Field being shot in a South
Side house; about the death of w.
W. KimbaI, millionaire piano maker,
and about the clothes some society
girls wore. which would not keep
their legs warm. The evidence show
ed that the dead lady liked to read
books which were so rotten that the
U. S. authorities had to suppress
them. The Meekers, the Fittings,
and the Keiths, all of whom figure in
the millions, we're mentioned.
But Judge Windes decided that the
vulgar poor had read enough about
the vulgar rich, so he told the law
yeTs they didn't have to read the
spicy letters out loud; they could be
passed over to the jury. Then he
told the newspaper men to LAY of"
the story.
Such is life. No more high-broW
bedroom scandals for the lOw-brows.

NEWS ABOUT THE RICH IS SHUT
OFF FROM THE POOR
When high-brows fall out honest
workingmen get their dues. So, in
the past, it has been. When the
mOney-Oiled wheels of society clog
because Of a 'caumOn quarrel" the
poor fellow has been tickIed all over
= to read in the newspapers bedroom
scandals that prove sassiety as vul-
gar, behind its gold curtains, as ordi-
nary people.
But now we have something diff
ferent Friday judge-Judge
Windes in the circuit court-started
something else. He decided that evil
dence in the Kellogg case-there
were some spicy letters introduced
should not be read out aloud in the
public courtroom.
Oh, no! Nothing doing for the
newspapers which would feed their
millions of low-brow readers with the
truth about the wealthy of the city
So the judge, elected by the poor
folks, pulled a stunt that is seldom
worked. And, in doing so, he denied
those same workers that voted forf
him a peep at the body of society
where it is dirtiest.
Justice, supposed to be blind to
differences between the rich and the
poor, pulled the cloak from her own
body and laid it gently over Wealth
to cover the dirt so that Common
People could not glimpse at it.
The case is the oUtgrowth of a
struggle for a mess of dead woman's
dollars. The woman in her grave
left a half million where she wanted |
it. The daughter comes along and
decides that she wants the dough, so |
she tries to prove that her mother |
was crazy and didn't know what to |
do with her money.
The attorneys for the dead woman |
are trying to show that she had just |
