Not Infatuated With Dud

JUST LIKED HIM, THAT'S ALL
"Infatuated with him? No, of course
not. I don't care nnythlng more about
John thnn T do about n lot nf boys. 1
ran nwny by myself, and jiMt l'nppened
to meet him. I wanted some excite
ment, that's all."
Thnt was the explanation slven bv
pretty sixteen-year-old Alma Oovle. of
Washington, who wns nrrested here
vesterday with John Dudley Wilson,
twenty, n clerk in the Treasurv re
partiuent nt WashlnRton. The'v had
a Iienr ns this morning in the Mnrnlr
( ourt before .iHilge Oormnn.
Alinn was released in the custodv of
her father, nnd Wilson wns ordered
sent to Washington in the enre of a
redernl ncent.
The Rirl Is rntlier frail ond not
addicted to extremes in dressing. She
wore a brown dress, rather long, blnck
silk stockings nnd a brown hat. Her
hnir is bobbed, ond a multitude of
freckles over her nose ndd to her youth
ful iipprarnncc.
In the courtroom Almn nnd Wilson
did not look nt euch other, and when
they came out afterward appeared in
different. John Thomas Doyle, Alma's
father, who came from Washington,
looked careworn and tired, and admitted
he was torn by the anxiety of a week's
search for Alma. Hp said he had no in
tention of mnkiii2 Wilson mnrrv the
girl, but snid lie would take her home.
Mr Doyle said the girl's mother was
very nngry. nnd had phoned hi in this
morning to tell him not to bring the
"bad girl back home."
The father wns inclined to hold some
vintlicthencfm ngninst the boy, saying
thnt if the two were mnrried, the lat
ter could not he prosecuted, and that
lie desired to make him suffer at least
a part of what he himself had suf
fered. When asked if she was glad to be
going home, Alma tossed her pretty
head and said :
"Oh. very," hut she did not mpui to

Miss Olven stopped her motorcar
across the pedestrians' crossing and
when she refused to move was taken

structing traffic, operating a molorcar
without a driver's license and breach of
peace.
She said today the two men. who
later proved to be Sergennt Cannon
nnd Detective Hnggerty. of the Fif
teenth and Vine streets station, spoke
to her ond treated her as "a little cur
In the gutter."
"Had they addressed me In a gentle
manly mnnner," she snid nt the hearing
before Magistrate Orells when she wns
fined $7.50 nnd costs, "I would gladly
have complied with their request.
As'ted what right they had to tell
her what she could or could not do.
they threw open their coats nnd showed
their pollco badges. Still MIks fllven
refused to recognise their authority and
calmly locked her machine and left.
W'hen she returned the two policemen
were waiting. Still s,hc refused to heed
them when ordered to drive to the po
lice station. She wns about to press
her foot on the self-starter when Can
non reached into the car and snatched
the key from the switch.
Haggerty was by this time sending in
n call for a patrol wagon. Miss Olven
divided she preferred Tier own machine
to the patrol and quickly complied with
the men's request to go to the police
station

BISHOP BERRY ASSAILS IT
The stnte prohibition net of the Leg

Plans mny be mnde to bring pressure
to bear on Governor Sproul to veto tin

The ttev. Dr. Homer W. Tope, state
superintendent of the league, is with

Liquor Men Seem Pleased
While prohibitionists openly show
dissatisfaction Willi tlie Dill, liquor ocni
ers appeared pleased with it. Thomas
,T. O'Connor, president nf the Stnte Fed
eration of Liquor Dealers, called it "a
cominonscnse solution of n difficult prob

The hill wns flayed by Plshop Ilerry,

termed it n nnusentlnir dose and pre

There will lie a day of reckoning

liuve yielded either to the pressure of

Although the federal constitution hns

the Pennsjlvnnia Legislature lias de

for tho most wholesale and unblushing

discount prohibition nnd the theatrical
stage, the motion pictures nnd nfter
dinner speakers strike at the law by
jibes and Jokes.
It could not be expected that tlie
liquor business could bo shut down with
out a determined tight from those profit
ing by it, lie continued. The liquor
habit bos fastened Itself on mnnv per
sons and under tlie circumstances the
acceptance of the new order has been
more general than was expected, net-niu.
Another factor in the tight to keep the
saloon alUe. said Illshop llerrv, is Its
alliance with professional politicians.
Another point is that there are many
persons of foreign birth In this country
who came from countries where there
wns no prohibition sentiment nnd who
look on the lnw as Interference with
personal liberty.
Tlie enforcement law just passed by
the Legislature Is pitiable, Hie bishop
osserted, in tontrast with the New
