EMPLOYS WRIT
TO REVERSE PLEA
AFTER SENTENCE
Judge Montgomery Sets Hear
ing for Application for
Wednesday Afternoon.

Everett Wallace, who pleaded gull
~ in superior court 70 a charge OF
grand larceny on July II. and who
was sentenced by Judge Montgomery
TO the Indiana reformatory, Tues
day began an effort to secure a va
cation of the judgment and a trial
by jury, using proceedings for a writ
OF error, coram nobis. as the basis.
Wallace, through his attorney, sets
forth that at the time he entered
the plea OF guilty he was not able
TO think clearly because he was
nervous and afraid, never having
been in a court room before. except
the city court here. He further says
that he was unable 10 realize what
he was doing. He asks that the
judgment be set aside, and that he
be given an opportunity TO withdraw
his plea and change IL TO one of not
guilty, so that he may have a trial
by jury.
Is Common Law.
The coram nobis proceeding is a
matter Of common law, since the
Indiana statutes do not cover the
subject. This is the first case within
the recollection of local court Of
ficials in which this method of pro-
cedure has been used here.
Hearing on the application for the
writ will take place Wednesday at
1880 p. m.

1T is the mission Of America to

America is the only nation in the
world with liberty as the basic
thought, although the idea has been

States is marvellous because of it's

~. We have our president who heads
the affairs OF the nation. and the po-
litical life of the nation is maintained
with unusual unity of spirit. Every
square mile is suitable for habitation
by the white man. The poor are
provided for as no other country
provides for them. and the per capt.
Ia wealth is greater than in any 9TH
er nation.
America. also, is remarkable for
its growth of civilization. 1t is a ma
ton of machines. Chicago has more
telephones than all the nations of
Europe combined.
America will save herself indus

Woman, in Fight for Man,
Causes Riot of Nudity
A TALENTED BRIDE-TO-BE

LONDON, July 20.-What is the
meaning of the riot of nudity into
which the world Of womanhood has
plunged so frantically? Here l touch
a very dangerous subject-woman.
Nearly everybody who touches her
burns his fingers. After thousands
Of years man knows very little about
this battling and elusive creature,
and what he thinks he knows is in
variably wrong.
The war has profoundly disturbed
the feminine mind. Many millions of
young males have been slaughtered,
mutilated or deranged. There is a
world shortage OF males. The strange
herd-soul of woman. moving in the
mass. has taken fright at the SEN
tence Of celibacy which has been
passed upon her. There are not
enough men 10 go around. Before
the war the rivalry of women was

and reticenses. All is fair in love
and war. and the herd-soul OF wom-
an is resorting 10 the most auda-
ciOus devices in order &c captivate
and capture the surviving males.
The vogue of the jazz dance is one
symptom of this frenzy The violent
outburst Of colors in feminine raj
ment is another. The hysterical &c
centriCity of feminine attire is an

tom is the absolutely braZen display
of feminine charms. l have always
suspected that man is the shy sex
