Si heard that New Yerk's ordinance

ii unjust discrimination.
"Smoking, whether In public or else

women smokers licrV. no mutter what

net mean that women smokers are nt

1 A,sl"tant Director of Public Safety
Tempest made both points quite clear
thiffvmernlng.
"Most well-bred women," lie said,
"would net think of smoking anywhere,
Itt alone in public places. Personally, I
im opposed te women smoking. Of
Bclallv, I can de nothing.
''Women have the right te vote,
therefore they have the right te smoke.
If hotels de net want women te smoke
In their dining rooms or elsewhere, they
can easily enforce no-smeklng rules re

Mayer Jehn F. Hylan, of New
Yerk, before returning home nt neon
today after three days spent as Chi-
'cage's guest, en being informed that
Police Commissioner Ktirlglit hail
rescinded his elder of yesterday
prohibiting women from smoking In

"I make It a policy In my ad
ministration," the Mayer com
mented, "never te Interfere with the
ladles for they will de as they
please anyway."

PUBLIC WANTS FACTS
CuiHnnrd from Pnae On
n1y New Yerker discoverable today
who seemed te regret its passing. ,
It was his pet. He had introduced
It twice, tcarcely hoping it would see
even twelve hours of life. And lift
night when the tidings were borne te
him that the ordinance was actually
Mm? enforced bv the police, he worked
himself gradually from incredulity te
delight. ...
Expanding his chest he announced
plans te Introduce a sister ordinance
in the next two weeks closing all res
tmiiaiits and cabarets nt midnight.
Most of them run new. until the sinful
hour of 1, while some "dancing clubs"
In the. Hreadway zone are alleged te
keep open all night.
Aside from Alderman. McOulnncss,
however. Commissioner Knrlght's blue- ;
rented enforcers of the nntl-smeklng
found scarcely a friend.
Flappers Are Scornful
Flappers and ex-flappers, who were
might In the act last night by en
forcement squads nnd ordered te threw
nway their fags, told the uncomfortable
policemen everything they thought they
ceunld say and still keep out of durance
Tllf.
Itcstnurateurs nnd cabaret keepers,
when served with notices against the
new "crime," spluttered nnd swore and
t(kcd about going te the courts te
kneek the "outrageous" ordinance In
the head.
Prominent women, many of whom
personally abhor the smell of a ciga
rette, rose te champion the rights of
their smoking sisters, denouncing the
measure ns n terrific blew at personal
liberty and predicting It would result
only In a greater wave of smoking by
women Jut, they said, ns tne prom prem prom
hltlen law had started people te drink
ing who never drank before.
Whether or when Alderman McGuln
ness will reintroduce his ordinance
could net be learned today. He was
(no busy deploring the fate that had
given and as quickly snatched away
enforcement of his late lamented blue
law.
Frenzied Puffing Results
i The mystery grew apace last night
after the police department, pursuant
te an order Issued by Commissioner
Knright, had visited the public amuse
ment places In Greenwich Village, Har
lem, the Iirenx nnd nleng Hreadway,
and had informed managers nnd propri
etors they were subject te a fine nnd
Imprisonment if they permitted women
te smoke in their establishments.
Thereupon there was indignation nnd
frenzied puffing, while a flood of de
rision was aimed at the Alderman and
the Mayer. There was an Inclination
en the part of feminine smoke te
laugh,
"(ioed-by, sweet Micam","' sighed
en bobbed -naii' eung women, an she
blew a smoke ring into the fnee of a
detective and flipped her cigarette ever
his shoulder. "What jevklller Is re
sponsible for this? Ami mc with a new
geld-lined fag case worth ?S5."
In tlin luxuriously furnished women's
Hacking room of a theatre en Hroad Hread
way. the announcer of the order 'received
what the flappers call "the raspberry."
Tlie loungers blew smoke in his face,
gave him three rounds of sarcastic ha
lm's nnd chased hlin. He brought back
njpellceman and the manager nnd the
women were convinced. '
Henln. the "cigarette girl" of Green
wich Village, curled her lips scornfully
when she heard the news.
"Piffle," she said. "Might as well
try te step us, from using rouge It's
a habit."
Women's Leaders Denounce It
Many well-known men and women
of the city denounced the ordinance as
"unconstitutional."
Their opinions fellow :
Mrs. L. 8. Gabriel, lawyer and He
publican leader "I don't smoke, be,.
cause I'm just old fashioned enough net
te want te. Hut I oppewe every Infringe
ment en the rights of men or women.
This ordinance is worse thnn tc Eight
eenth Amendment."
Mrs, Nellie Heebe, political lender In
Brooklyn "It's a geed law If they can
enforce It. Hut it will make women
smoke all 'the mere just like the Prohi
bition Law made men drink all the
mere."
Lillian Sire, Democratic leader "1
think it an outrage. I believe the law
will be repealed."
Miss Mary Weed, president of the
Stnte Republican Vv6men's Association
"Perhnns they will have te wipe out
women altogether after a while in order
te remove all temptation, 'ine most rep
resentative and intelligent women
smoke. This ordinance would make them
all criminals."
MAYOR MOOREJMPROVES
Grip Will Keep Him Frem Office
for Several Days
Mayer Moere, who is. confined te his
home, .'ill) Carpenter lnnc, suffering
with a touch et. tne grip, is reperieu
te be somewhat Improved today. He
will Me unnblc te attend his official du
ties for several days.
The Mayer was 111 en his return from
Washington. Sunday night. He had
nnt heen feeline well for several days,
hut headed a committee which went te
Washington en Saturday te appeal te
Secretary Denby te keep the Xnvy
Yard open.
United States Attorney Celes' state
ment that he Is "tee busy" te discuss
charges made by hit former assistant,
T. Henry Walnut, relative te the de
lay of the McConnell liquor scandal,
will "net satisfy an aroused people,"
according te n statement Issued today
by the Law Enforcement League.
The League formally called en Mr.
Celes te submit te an impartial Inves
tigation by the liar Association, nnd
suggests that this organization, te
which nil the lending lawyers of Phila
delphia belong, take the matter up In
the Interest or the legal profession
generally.
The League tleclar.es tnat tt is "up "up
te Mr. Celes te defend his position te
thn public whom he represents."
The League states that "net many
people deny that liquor has been ns
free as water te these who desire It
nnd have the courage te pay the high
price of purchase.
Has Support of Public
"The Grand Jury Is conscious of nn
aroused people, and Is willing te give
Its full co-operation and assistance,
knowing that It has the moral Support
of citizens, which has net been se ap
parent te previous Grand Juries."
The leiisue's statement refers te Mr.
Walnut's address at the City Club as
follews: v ....
"Thd wonderful address made by Mr.
Walnut nt the City Club was given
without maltce or hatred and was but a
presentation of facts and figures with
which he was personally working these
mnnv mentui pnst. wntcn, it net irue,
can be disproved by Mr. Celes. They
certainly call for a full explanation, nnd
we consider that the mere statement
that he is tee busy will net satisfy nn
aroused people, who regard Mr. Celes as
their efficlul and who nrc entitled te
real facts regardless et whom it may
Involve. ... , .
"The old saying, 'Murder will out.
seems applicable te this ense, and the
neople w II net accept the Indictments
by1 the Grand Jury, as Mil 'Celes' reply
te the serious charges made public- by
t W.l.n, In 1.1. n.KlrCU If) WhlCU It

the public at this time clearly shows its

''If Mr. Walnut had done otherwise
than make a. frank statement, he would

reputation given him by' his superior
effUera in their endeavor te explain
why he hadbcen removed at such a.
timely moment, also saying that-bVhad
