DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 24. - (AP) - Police and the courts of this city are bearing down on the reading of tea leaves in tea rooms.
Mrs. Emma Libson, 48, and Miss Margaret King, 31, were before Judge Edward J. Jeffries Tuesday on fortune-telling charges preferred by patrolmen who visited a tea room.
The policemen said that they paid $1 for a cup of tea and a sandwich and that their "fortunes" were read in the cups.
Judge Jeffries adjourned the case two weeks, and told the women: "If you don't get out of this business it is going to be too bad for you."
Tea rooms where a "reading" is thrown in with the refreshments have been a fad with many persons here for some weeks.
