Judge Angered by Attempt of the
Defense to Squirm From Un
der the Charges.
SAN FRANCISCO, Auk 80.— Attor-
neys for F. Drew Caminetti, charged
with being a white slaver, have made
no apparent headway In their effort*
to put the blame for the elopement
to Reno of Maury Diggs, already con
victed on a white slave charge; Mar
sha Warringtoji, Lola Norris and
Caminetti upon the shoulders of
Diggs.
Questions purporting to show that
Diggs was the moving spirit in ar
ranging and mapaging the trip from
Sacramento to Reno aroused Federal
Judge VanFleet until he asked At
torney Howe:
“Is It your theory that Caminetti
was aleo abducted and taken over to
Reno?”
When court adjourned last evening
until next Tuesday, Marsha Warring
ton had finished her direct testimony.
She will be recalled by the deefnse’s
attorneys.
The surprise of the trial came yes
terday when Thomas H. Warrington,
father of Marsha Warrington, testi
fied in place of his daughter. White-
haired, clean-shaven, kindly faced, he
testified that F. Dn. Caminetti, the
defendant charged with violating the
Mann white slave traffic act. called
frequently i his house for his daugh
ter under the name of “^Jr. Whit
man." Mr. Warrington supposed
“Whitman” was an honorable suitor
for his daughter's hand.

Court of Appeals Rules State Law
Was Usurped in Fining of
Atlanta Man.
An Important decision affecting the
city’s right to regulate gambling was
handed down by the Court of Appeals
Saturday In the case of T. C Alexan
der vs. the City of Atlanta.
The Appeals Court ruled that it
was not in the power of the Munici
pal Court to punish Alexander, for
CM KMOQ tha - the ofEtllM of gam
ing is covered by the State law.
Judge George L. Bell, of the Fulton
County Superior Court, who over
ruled the certiorari and affirmed the
Judgment of the Recorder fining the
defendant, was declared in error.
The trial of Alexander under th»-
city ordinance was a test case to de
termine the city’s jurisdiction in of
fences of this sort. He waa brought
before the Recorder on the charge of
having slot machines in his near-beer
saloon in Decatur street. He was
convicted, took a certiorari to the Su
perior Court and was overruled.
It was shown that the slot machine
gave a package of gum for every
nickel that was deposited, and thaf. in
addition, twenty beer checks occa
sionally formed the reward for the
fortunate players of the machine
This last feature introduced the el
ement of chance, according to the
Court of Appeals, and placed Alexan
der under the definition of a “keeper
of a gambling house." whose punish
ment was aolely without the jurisdic
tion of the city and within that of
the State.

In her honor
In an Interview in which she ex
plained why she will become a nun,
Miss McCall likens the sacrifice of
friends and happiness she will be
compelled to make to the sacrifice of
a soldier who gives up his loved ones
to fight for the honor of his country.
"We must sacrifice ourselves for
a principle," Miss McCall said, “the
soldier sacrifices his home, his loved
ones, everything that is dear, for a i
principle—for the honor of his coun
try. The same reason stands him
in good stead when death comes, and
he smiles and passes on gladly, giv
ing his life to service.
“My sacrifice will be to give up the
things I have always done, my friends,
the gayety and charm of society; to
give lip dancing, sinking and playing,
which as a girl I love.
"I ha*ve been loved all my life. 1
have been shown every luxury and
have been showered with attentions
and blessings. Yet through *it all 1
had a feelirg that it was not right—
I had an Indescribable desire to give
myself to God while I was young and
fresh, keen and warm-blooded. God
does not want the useless husks—
people who have know n pleasure and
life and turn to Him merely because
they seek a new diversion. He wants
youth and talent, fresh, young peo
ple who will give their lives to him
through love of service.’
