CHICAGO, March l3.-"There amt
no justice in the world" This was the
plaintive cry of Carl Settley in Judge
Morgan's court this afternoon after he
had been fined So and costs for gazing
too long and intcntly upon fair young,
lady's knees.
Last night settley embarked on an
elevated train for his home on the
North Side. He had just settled down
to read his evening paper when his
gaze happened to stray across the aisle
There sat Mrs. Mabel Walleck and her
twenty, and Miss Molly Walleck, sew
cnteen. After DISCOVERING the trio
across the aisle Mr. Settley couldn't
again bring his attention back to his
paper. He discovered that the young
ladies, who wore knee-length skirts,
also had 'em rolled down.
But Settley gives his version Of the
story like this:
II noticed that the women were
making remarks about me-" He looked
down, he says, and saw that ono OF
his pants legs had crawled up about
half an inch over the contact point Of
his rubber grips" Mrs Waleck
chded him, he says, for exposing him
self in such manner.
I'm sorry he said "but # you will

That ended the argument, At the
next station Mrs. Wallcck caught d
