Thomas and his “Itty Bitty Lady” in Court Today.

Federal, state and city authorities will be in the Morals court today when Dr. W. I. Thomas and his “itty bitty lady,” Mrs. R. M. Granger, the wife of an army officer now in France, will be arraigned on charges of disorderly conduct. The authorities consider the case a test as to the possibilities of suppressing vice by prosecuting on disorderly conduct charges following false registration at a hotel.

Under the motherly care of Mrs. Thomas, the professor’s wife, the health of the pretty wife of the army officer is said to have so improved that her presence is expected in court.
