28 DANGER WILL TELL HER ATTACK STORY Girl to Take Stand Today to Accuse Pantages in Courtroom. i By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 4.—Eunice Pringle, 17-year-old dancer, today is to tell from the witness stand the prin- cipal story by which the prosecution hopes to convict Alexander Pantages, multimillionaire theatrical man, of stat- utory assault. ‘The young university student with as- pirations toward dancing fame, was called by District Attorney Buron Fitts, chief prosecutor, five minutes be- fore the close of yesterday's session of Pantages’ trial, but questioning was postponed. Mother Backs Prosecution. ‘The girl was called after her mother, Mrs. Lou Irene Pringle, a school teach- er, had substantiated many of the prosecutor’s contentions. The woman testified her daughter was a little over 17 years five months old on August 9, the day of the alleged attack in the theater man’s private office, and de- scribed the girl's condition that night at police headquarters. Mrs. Pringle also identified torn clothing as that her daughter had worn the day uheéowent to interview Pantages in an effort to obtain & booking for her dancing act. ‘While the State piled up its evidence against the theater man, a woman from Pantages’ past came into the courtroom —Kate Rockwell—who staked him to a dance hall in Alaska in 1898 during the hectic gold rush days. The woman would not discuss her mission at the trial, but Fitts intimated she might be called to testify against Pantages. ‘The appearance of Miss Rockwell re- vived memories of a trial in Washing- ton State courts in 1906, in which she sought an accounting .from Pantages, then just launching the theater career which was to carry him to the head of & $15,000,000 chain of show houses. Tells of Staking Him. Miss Rockwell testified then that she owned the dance hall in which Pan- tages worked as a waiter, but staked him to the house because he promised to marry her. Pantages denied the promise of matrimony, but admitted the association with the woman. After the trial, Miss Rockwell went to a homestead in Bend, Oreg., where she has lived since. H. E. Hollum, manager of the theater firm which bought Pantages’ properties here, late yesterday was sentenced to 24 hours in jail as the result of a con- tempt judgment following his object’~ 1« to a visit of Superior Judge Charles Fricke and the jury to the scene of the alleged attack. ‘The court adjourned to the building to familiarize itself with the detalls of the location and arrangement of rooms. Hollum, stepping from his office, ac- costed a juror and Judge Fricke.

I think New York is one of the most interesting cities I have seen and find a tremendous lot of character in the development of its architecture.” Mme. Filipowicz has arrived in this country with the deepest enthusiasm for the progress made by the American people in the facilitation of housework, by our modern methods of electrical cooking, cleaning and laundry work, as well as the co-operative hotels and apartments built with the idea of simplifying, as much as possible, the work of the housekeeper and the con- sequent dispensation with servants, “The domestic problem in my coun- try, like everywhere else in the world, is becoming quite a serious one,” said Mme. Filipowicz. “Women and girls no longer care to do domestic house- work, so it is a matter of greatest im- portance to Polish women to find ideas which will lighten the old ways of housekeeping.
