The docket containing 1900 city tried in the criminal division of the circuit court with Judges H. P. lief lin. ". E. Fort, Dan A. Greene and J. Q. Smith. all sitting on the bench this week, is being rapidly cleared
 The appeal cases of Mrs. J. C. Bristol, and Henry Young, which came up for trial tho past week, were found guilty by jury and heavier fines imposed upon them than they had received In the lower court.
 A large number of the cases com ing before each of the judges are being nolle pressed. According to Assistant Attorney Robert J. Wheel CT, who Is in charge of these city appeal cases, 60 per cent of those being nolle pressed are dropped on an order through his office to the city comptroller, where the previous fines are paid. and when the cases appear on the docket of the circuit court. they arc nolle pressed on pay ment of the costs. The majority of tha remaining cases are nolle pressed on account of being so old the witnesses have either moved away from this Jurisdiction. or have forgotten the evidence In the cases.

Made Shop Exclusive
 Mrs Hurley did not make tho mistake of starting a common or garden variety of shop. She wanted to make real money. She knkew how to design accessories of dress, how to combine colorings. So, from the the first her little "conservatory'' was executed as an exclusive place framed to suit the fancy of wom- en with taste and bank accounts.
 And here day after day, an enor- nous trade seeks her out, samples of her artificial flowers and per sonally created accessories being shown by appointment only.
 Mrs. Hurley's establishment she located up town at 54e Twenty-third street west. Over her door she placed this trade legend: Creator of Classic Accessories for Hata, Gowns and Wraps"
 Everything she makes is as nearly perfect as magnificent material, col- brings, and artistic. unhurried fash long can Insure, And how lovely are the corsage bouquets, flowers for enormously expensive or simple hats. and shy boutonnieres One flower alone will enhance any costume.
 It was through the courtesy of my friend, Mrs. William Youngblood, that I had the pleasure of peeping one day upon veritable flower garden, In a Hurley box, shortly from New York. There nestled yet lifting petals that actually seemed touched with dew-were softly shaded poppies, morning glo- ries. thistles, lemons, grapes, calla lilies of gold and midnight blue, and other creations almost too perfect to have been constructed by just hu- man, clumsy fingers.

He said it was not an or ganization outside of the law, but within the law, and it's purpose was to assist the officers to enforce the law by lending them financial and moral aid and physical aid If neces- sary.
 "This law enforcement drive Is not a crusade for duration of 30 days; 1t Is going to continue for a long time, at least until the crime wave is checked" he declared.
 The speaker stated that tho league had appointed committees to keep in constant touch with the sheriff and the chief of police, and render to them any aid that they thought best. We have also enlisted men," he con- tinued, "who will be deputized to en- force the law"
 The speaker requested the club members to assist the league In It's work by joining the organization. The requirements to become member are that each individual will be a law abiding citizen and one who will take orders and help execute them
 During his entire speech Colouel Smith had the undivided attention of his audience.
 The meeting was presided over by w. H. Saddler, Jr., president. and much routine business disposed of.
