When She Appears in Knickers
Court Witnesses Aghast as Jurist Declares Feminine
Garb a Nuisance A Masquare, He Calls It.
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 4 (Copyright). "A woman wearing knicker
bockers Is a nuisance."
This was the decision of City Julge Martin A. Fleming when court
proceedings had been Interrupted by tho advent of a figure which calmly
took a scat on the front row of benches. It waa that of a woman garbed
in knickerbockers and puttees, and carrying a derby hat. Prisoners tit
tered, while all eyes ware turned on her, but she was calm and very
much unconcerned.
The Juilcre lookorl her over. a.D-fr
parently at flrat could not believe hU
eyes. Then he frowned and turned
to tho clerk:
k "Make out a warrant for tliatwom
Lh, sho Is creating a nuisance," he
oeclared.
The wojnan, Mrs. Ed Frlddell, hero
In attendance with a street fair con
cession, was amazed and dumbfound
ed. Bho had come to court called as
a witness In another case.
"Madam," demanded the Judge.
"may I ask why you come to court
garbed In such attire?"
"I have no other clothing than
'.these," she replied. "These are wom-
:i'a clothing, ladles' knickers, to be
xaet. and everybody wears them."
(jl'Tou say you have no other
"Nothing else, except two slips and
hesitated to come to court In slips
I can see no harm In wearing knickers
In this or any other court," and she
turned around like a model displaying
a style.
That's enough," hastily declared
tho Judge. "I've stood for this ;ew
freedom pretty long and overlooked n
great many things, but I do want
some mark of discrimination between
a man and a woman retained. There
is u State law in Tennessee ngalnt n
woman masquerading in men's cloth
ing. You are committing a nuisufnc
and are under arrest."
The case awaits final dlsposi'Ion
and there Is warm debate in Chatta
nooga among the women. Mrs. Frld
dell insl&ts sho will wear a slip when
sho return to court.

ever, only a sort of base from which
to start the trips which took her for
blocks around the neighborhood, where
hc was known and petted by the resi
dents. Hess could roam Into anyone's
yard and be sure of having her fore
head scratched affectionately.
It is the opinion of some who wit
nessed the battle between Ress and
her slayers Inst nlffht that the world
or that part of the Bronx she Rtrnyed
about In was hers. Last night when
she round a placo to which she wun
forbidden entrance she could not be
ttevo ft, and for the sake of principle
made an Issue of the point nnd con
sequently a martyr of herself.
The place where Itcss met her death
wns In the yard of nn automobile re
pair shop. No. 31 8 Canul Place. In i
packing case in tho rear of the yard,
which faces on Cnnal Place, live three
doughty canine brothers Pete, Jess
ind Tip large bulldogs and worth
their weight In gold as wntch-dogs.
The gate is not locked at night. The
Intruder may enter If he dare.
Ress, on one of her usual trips about
her little world, came to the entrance
of the yard nnd started to enter. Pete,
who was alone, growled out a threat
No stranger, man nor beast, had ever
come there at nisht nnd, as far an
Tete was concerned, no one -would,
not even Hess. Hut Iless had her
mind made up. Sho went In, Just to
show Pete whew to get off, and the
battle wns on.
Peto sprang at Hess, and tless,
whoso long sharp horns were no mean
weapon, held her ground. The dog
sprnng again and again, Bess's horn.i
drawing blood each time. Round nnd
round her dnshed the dog, trying to
catch her off guard to sink his teeth
Into a throat hold from which the
death of either would be tho only re
lease. Ress, her feet close together,
spun with him, the long horns provid
ing n formidable defense.
Pete nnd Ress's battle-cries could be
heard for blocks nnd brought sleepers
from their beds to watch tho Btrugglo
None dared enter the yard to stop th
combatants. Pete's brothers.'Jess nnd
Tip, on a nocturnnl prowl about the
neighborhood, also heard the sound
of battle and dashed for home, but to.)
Intc to miv Pete. As he whirled about
Ress he slipped. He wns off balance
Just a second, but In that time Ress
stepped In quickly, tensed her body
like a steel spring, nnd drove her horns
with her full weight behind thorn
through Peto's body, killing him In
stnntly. Jess and Tip plunged through the
yard gate at the same moment nnd
flung themselves upon Ress. Tho odds
wore too great. For fifteen minutes
longer Ress fought the two newcom
ers, but sho had only one pnlr of horns,
and one pair of eyes. They pulled hei
down at lait, nnd ns she fell, Still
fighting gamely, they lunged for hor
throat. And tho battle was over In a
few minutes.
Someone had telephoned the Alexnn
der Avenue Police .Station and Lieut.
Cramer sent Patrolman Kdward Vltall
to the battleground. Ry the time
Vltall got there tho excltemont wns
over and tho hundreds of spectators
were returning to their homes and to
bed. Rcss's body lay In tho yard not
far from Pete's, and Jess nnd Tip lay
panting beside her.
Vltall made u brief, cold report of
the incident and turned' it Into his
station for entry on the records,
Tho dogs were owned by Caldwell
