Stage authorities greeted official thou-shalt-nots with the claim that the fickle bright light district is re- forming itself, stage nudity is losing favor, revue producers assert, and draped figures are returning to popularity. Revues and night present risque entertainments, how- ever, were also placed under the police ban today when Acting Mayor McKee gave orders that places fea- turing nudity to an extent which police might consider should be raided.

Since the move for the appeal was made the story that Leopold was connected with the escape plot has dgflin been told to authorities by the | six men. the originator of the plot and that his money, given to the guards, cleared the way for the escape. One of the convicts told authorities that Leopold even sto! sugar to get himself placed in soli ry confinement, so access to the rden's office, through escape was made, would be easily obtained.
