docks, opened fire from his car
Tuesday evening, shooting di

strikers.
That Seegars' bullets did not
Btrike any of the occupants of the
pursuing car was probably due to
the rocking motion of the speed

Naked Art of
Turtle Lady',
Stirs Chicago!
It nll-.l l'ri-»« l.eaard Hlri-.l
CHICAGO, Sept. 27. —Is the
painting of a nude woman watch- .
lug a turtle naughty or not?
Chicago, which started "Sep- •
tember Morn" on her way to
fame, eagerly debated the ques
tion today. Incidentally all Chi
cago that had lime rushed to the
display window of the Artist
guild.
Neither the turtle nor the lady
have any covering other than that
provided by nature. Arthur Bur
rage Farwell of the Law and Or
der league objected to the dis
play. Bolton Brown of New York J
Is the artist.
Club women, who failed to de
fend "September Morn," rushed
to the defense of the "Turtle I
I.ady." "September Morn" was
looking at nothing except her
public hath, but the turtle Is evi
dently a student of nature.
"Having painted the nude my
self when I was ahroard, 1 would
be the last to object to it," said
Mrs. Harlan Ward Cooley, presi
dent of the Chicago Woman's
club.
