GIRL WIFE FAINTS
ASHUBBY
NABBED
J. M. Lasky Arrested at Ter
minal en False Pre
tense Charge
SAILOR MAKES COMPLAINT
The desperate efforts ' of James M.
I.asky, thirty years eM, of New Yerk,
te previde for his pretty eighteen-year-old
wife ran afoul last njsht. and the
lrst severe shock iu the gifi-wlfe's year
of martial happiness enme when I.asky
was arrested as hfr, met her at the
Reading Termtnnl.
The arrest followed n wild trip
through Chinatown, en which Lnsky
was entertaining a sailor, who had
asked te "be shown the town." The
unller. Rebert "VTitten, twenty-five, who
arrived en n tramp steamer yesterday,'
charged that L'nsky took $20 from him
le buy liquor, and then fried te escape
with the cash. Lasky was held in $1000
ball by Magistrate"1 Ceward today.
The voting wife collapsed at City Hall
Inst night when Hetectlves began te
question her. She had protested vigor
ously when Patrolman Kelly arrested
her husband at the station.
She was tnken along te City Hall
with her husband and was slated as
"stranded. " Seated In a cell at the
Central Station and with tears welling
up in 'her eye1 she made'n" plea for
het 'husband, -whom she said she had
"never known te de anything wrong
in the whole year that they bad been
mnrried." , .,,
"What did you arrest him for?" she
pleaded. Asked If she was unaware
that her husband was addicted te
drugs and bad been arrested in this
city before, the young wife fainted.
Lasky nnd the sailor met quite by
chance en Market street Inst night. The
acquaintance began when Lasky stepped
te apologize for accidentally bumping
into Wltten.en the sidewalk. Wlttcn
had just come from nn ocean trip and
was glad for some ene te talk te. In
the course of the conversation no sug
gested that he would like te "be shown
the town," he said, and Lasky readily
volunteered.
Thcy went te several amusement
plnccs en Market street, he told policy
and then for a "tour of Chinatown.
When they get te a restaurant at
Race and Ninth btrcets, he snld, be
suggested that they get some liquor
and ngnln Lasky was equal te the
occasion. . ... '..
"All we need is the money." he said
Lasky told him. He gave him $20, he
said, nnd Lasky left the restaurant.
Becoming siiBplcleuH, the sailor fol
lowed, and baw Lasky get into a taxi
cab outside. He get a taxi and fel-
At 'the Reading Terminal Lasky get
out nnd the girl was waiting for Mm.
Wltten summoned Patrolman Kelly,
and a charge of false pretense wus
ledsed agnlnst I.nrfky.
The girl-wife said her name was Ve
ronica, and that she came te this coun
try several years age.
Lasky made an attempt te escape
when the patrelmun grabbed him, but
ended the btruggle when bis wife began
M-reaming und the patrolman clung
tightly te his arm. .

BLACK BAG AND NERVE
START CURB HAT SHOP
"Proprietor" Did Rushing , Trade
Until Detective Get Busy
A Market street' hat store just above
Thirteenth puts all hats bought by cus
tomers in black paper bags, which must
be carried from the store by the pur
chaser. A detective watches the deer
te prevent thefts.
Today a man asked one of the cus
tomers who bad emerged with a new
straw hat te give him the black bag.
Then he walked in the store, picked
out a hat, put it in the bag and saun
tered out.
It was tee easy. Se be sold the
hat for n dollar, acturned and get an
other, nnd sold that. Then he went into
business for himself. He would ask
a passerby if he wanted te buy a hat
for $1. Answered in the affirmative,
he would take the customer te the
show window, make sure of the style,
and then, being told the size, would
Se in, pick out a nice one, come out,
clivcr it, and collect.
When the detective finally, caught en
te the scheme the man was arrested,
arraigned before Magistrate. Cewawi,
and held in $400 bail for court. He
said he is J. W. Melchiree, of Colllngs Celllngs Colllngs
weod, N. J-, and his defense was "tee
much hooch."

MRS. W. H. THOMAS

"Discourteously" Halted Her
Frem Tacking May Day Fete
Signs en Trees, She Says
BUT SHE "PUT ONE OVER"
Mrs. Walter H. Themas, of Wynne Wynne
weed, says that Patrolman Hun", of
Lewer Merlen Township, treated her
"discourteously nnd dlsagreenbly" yes
tcrdny when he ordered her te take down
signs she was tacking en trees.
The signs erected by Mrs. Themas
were te direct people te the May Day
fete nt the Merlen Cemunlty Associa
tion Grounds, for the benefit of the Sea
men's Church Institute.
"I hadnt the slightest Idea that I
was violating n township ordinance by
facking these signs en the trees," snld
Mrs. Themas today. "! think It was
the duty of .the officer te inform me te
that effect politely and net abruptly
like he did. I hope they move him
away from here."
Even though Mrs. Themas wns forced
te take down the signs from the trees
lining the street she "put one ever" en
Huff by immediately tacking them en
trees of property owners ever which,
she trlumifliantly declares, "be had no
jurisdiction."
Following tue wciaeni, ine report
spread that the officer would be moved
te another pert of the township. But
It wasn't true. He's still en the old
beat, apparently unconcerned.
It appears, however, that Huff is
about as popular with the Merlen town
ship women as "Andy" VeUtend Is
with the Kx-Jiurtenuers- union, be nea
better "watch his step."
That's what the wpmen arc think
ing, anyway.
