innovation at University Club.
The University Club has Started
something that will be a real privi-
lege to those who wish to avail them
selves of the club facilities. The
ladies reception and luncheon rooms
have been refurnished and redraped.
New and handsome hangings have
made the rooms decidedly attractive.
TIE innovation is this: Afternoon
tea will be served daily between 4 and
6 o'clock to members wives and
their guests. This will indeed fill
long-felt want and the kindness of
the University Club members in pro-
yiding for their women folk is deep
.ly appreciated Much advantage will
be taken of the privilege. The rest or
reception lounge room is very charm
ing with its brown and tan willow
furnishings, its restful window seat
and artistic hangings. Nothing in the
room jars; harmony is the keynote;
dainty squares Of damask cover the
tea tables, while the regulation club
or cafe napkin is relegated to the
linen closet and dainty hemstitched
and monogramed tea napkins are
served each guest. In the dining room
the same color scheme is carried out
After the luncheon the white cloth
is removed from the table and the
artistic table runners" in natural
browns greet ones eye. The tea ser
vice is in green china, as is the flow
er holder provided for each table
Charming rustic cake and sandwich
baskets with dainty doilies are used
and an altogether honey" atmo-
sphere perYades the club rooms.
Mrs. z. NJ Watson has had charge
of this task and we'll has she done
her work, for the result is delight
fnl 1t is safe to say that the rooms
will hardly be large enough to ac-
commodate all who win avail them

CLAIM NEGRO BOY
HAD AFFINITY FOR
FORD JOY RIDES

Riley Jones, aged II years, negro, was
arrested at Eighth avenue and Twenty
first street, north at 10 o'clock last night
by Officer Edward Burgess, on three
charges of using automobiles without the
owners consent. He will be transferred
to the county jail
Yesterday morning Jones is alleged to
have stolen a five-passenger Ford auto
mobile of A. J. Gufenkamp, 5z5 Jefferson
County bank building, which was stand
ing on Twenty-first street and Second
avenue, north. 1t is claimed that he
rode in the machine to Second avenue
and Sixteenth street, where he left it. 1t
is charged that he came back to town
and stole five-passenger Ford automo-
bile of c. NJ. Edwards, 800 Eighth ave-
nue., north, which was standing on Eight
zenith street, between Third and Fourth

Third avenue and Earl station, where

ger Ford automobile of r. HI. Morton
2127 Twelfth avenue, north, which was
standing on Third avenue, between Eight

Echo of Frank Case
Heard in Highest Court

Washington, September 2S.-A brier
attacking the constitutionality of the
Atlantic City ordinance requiring the
licensing of private detectives operat-
ing in that city, and incidentally re-
opening some of the legal issues in
volved in the Leo NJ Frank case, was
filed with the United States supreme
court here today by Dan S. Lehon,
former district manager for the w. J.
Burns Detective agency in New Or
leans.
supreme court on an appeal from a con-
viction and will be heard during the
coming term.
The brief filed today holds that the
ordinance in question Is unconstitu-
tional in that it requires all private
detectives shall be Georgians with IL
censes approved by the Atlanta chief
of police. 1t raises the question OF
Franks constitutional right to have
received aid in preparing his defense
from agents not under supervision OF
the Atlanta police.
1.-THE only intent and purpose of the
ordinance" Lehon's brief declared, was
to drive out of business all detective
agencies which would not cooperate
with the police of the city and do the
bidding Of the police authorities; also
to exclude all nonresidents from the
business. And the evidence discloses
that in practical operation they were
given that effect"
Lehon contends that he was not en-
tirely engaged in private detective
work, but was the district manager in
charge of agency operatives.
