Appellate Court
Clears I Women
Of Vice Plot
Two Other Hopkins
Institute Defendants
Entered Guilty Pleas

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today reversed the 1914 Dis
trict Colut conviction of seven
women on charges of conspiracy to
violate the White. Slave Traffic Act
In connection with the famous Hop
kins Institute case.
The women who now stand cleared
of the charges are Wilma Graham
and Florence White, each of whom
had been sentenced to serve from
four months to year; Nancy Parr,
Mildred Calls Stevens, Ann Henley
Kay Richards Ferreola and Irene
Vinson, each Of whom was sentenced
In June, 1914, to serve from two to
six months. All of them have been
free under bond.
Two others in the Hopkins Insti-
tute case pleaded guilty both to
conspiracy to transport and trans
porting person for immoral pur-
poses in violation of the Mann Act
and were not, therefore, concerned
in the appeal. They are George
Francis Whitehead, who is said to
have been proprietor Of the insti-
tute, which was operated as a
massage parlor in the 2700 block of
Connecticut avenue NV, and a
colored woman, who is said to have
been manager.
No Conspiracy Found.
The Appellate Court, in ruling on
the case, declared:
In our opinion they did not con-
spire to transport or cause to be
transported"
The opinion, written by Justice
Henry w. Edgerton, said:
1T was proved at the trial that
appellants repeatedly took part,
either as principals or as procurers
in prostitution in Washington. D. c.,
that for this purpose some of them
went and some induced others to 20
from one point to another in the
central part of the city: and that
much Of this travel was done, as
everyone knew, by taxicab. But
there was no evidence that anyone
asked anyone else to use a taxicab
or other vehicle, or asked anyone
to transport anyone else, or paid the
fare Of anyone else.
"As far as the record shows, ap-
pellants' only connection with the
transportation Of women other than
themselves, individually was that
they induced women to keep ap-
pointments a few city blocks away
from their quarters and would have
known from past experience, if they
had thought about the matter, that
these women would probably get
transportation. As far as the rec
ords show, an appellants exerted nc
influence and expressed no prefer
ence In favor Of any particular kind
OF transportation, or even in favor
or some kind of transportation as
against walking. There is no evil
dence that they conspired to do
more than they actually did"
Reasons for Reversal.
The Appellate Court said the con-
vietlon could not stand because:
Il. The indictment does not al
lege in terms or in effect that ap-
pellants conspired to cause any one
to be transported upon the line or
route of any common carrier It
does not mention any sort Of vehicle
or any means Of transportation.
q. Since taxicab does not op-
crate upon definite line of route,
there is no evidence of actual or in
tended transportation upon line of
route Of any carrier 40

Of the Court of Appeals and Albert
Lee Stephens, a circuit Judge, sit
ting by designation, heard the case

krug Will Enforce Ban
AGAINST Beaten Paths
Through Park Grass

j. A. Krug, new Secretary of the
Interior, announced through an aide
today that park regulations already
in force in Washington providing
arrests and fines for beating Short
cuts across the grass and willfully
damaging lawns would remain in
force, at least until he has an op-
portunity to study the matter.
This statement was made in re-
sponse to question asking if a re-
mark attributed to him that he did
not believe in keep off the grass"
signs, was to be construed as a
departure from past park policy.
The aide said that Mr. Krug de-
sired the public to obtain the fullest
possible enjoyment from park areas
but, at the same time. was not in
favor of permitting the public to
beat paths across lawns for the sake
of convenience.
Follows Ickes' Policy.
Park officials today were of the
opinion that this view was not at
variance with the policy laid down
by Harold L. Ickes, Mr.. Krug's pre-
decessor.
Park regulations, they recalled,
were rewritten under Mr.. Ickes i'm
mediately before the war specifying
that wearing shortcut paths across
the grass and willful damage to
grass areas or other planting were
subject to arrest and fine. The reg
ulations went on to say, however,
that "this part (of the rules shall
not be construed to prohibit casual
strolling over park areas"
MIR. Krug indicated today he is
strongly in favor of increasing public
Use Of Washington parks and max
ing local park improvements. He
expressed hope that park expan-
sion and recreation improvement
program could be put across.
Would Return Park Areas.
He was quoted as saying that he
is strongly in favor of returning all
park areas now in use for temporary
Government buildings, including
the Navy and Munitions buildings,
to park use as called for in long
range plans for the Capital.
In recalling Mr. Ickes' position on
the grass question, park officials
said today that when he castigated
Washingtonians in prewar years
Tor walking on the grass and had
park police make arrests and i'm
pose fines of 81, he always had tried
to make it clear that he referred to
shortcuts and willful damage.
His pet peeve, they recalled, was
the way in which Government en-
ployes beat short cuts across the
lawn area Immediately south of the
South Interior Building, overlooked
by the Secretary's Office.
Another area which aroused his
ire, he said, was the Mall, where a
dozen or so hard-packed paths re-
suited from short cutting by persons
not, as he put it, wishing to enjoy the
grass but merely to get some place.
