cold you imagineyo are residing at the
North Pole. The sir is cold and crisp and

along when out doors. The next day Or

shout without an overcoat. But the kind
OF weather we have been having is the

cold, but care should he exercised that

TWO SIDES TO THIS STORY.
A Widow, Charged With Assault. Tells
of PrOmissOry NOtes Unnaid

of PromissOry Notes Unpaid.
MRS. Addie Perkins, widow, of No. oS7
Dekaib avenue, Brooklyn. was arraigned in
the Long Island City police court yester-
day ON two complaints. Col John B.
Tracey OF No. 1929 Boulevard Long Island
City, charged the woman with assault. and
John X. Vernam Of the same address
charged her with disorderly conduct Mr..
Vernam is Col. Traceys father-in-law.
The woman called at their home Friday,
and Mr.. Tracey went to the door, and, ac-
cording to the woman's story, she wanted
to see him. and, fearing he was not goi,fs
to stop at the entrance, she grabbed him by
the coat Mr.. Vernam alleges that the
woman continued to ring the front door
bell and pound on the windows with her
cnncned nsts and otherwise acted in a dis
orderly manner.
The comp!ainants would not tell the OBJ
1ect of the woman's visit, but the latter
said that she loaned Tracey $500 some
time ago, and took promissory notes as Sc
curity for the loan. When the notes fell
due, she says, they had to be renewed, and
recently they fell due second time. Mrs
Perkins says that she left the notes with
Tracey upon his promising to send her new
ones, and not receiving them she called at
his house Friday to learn the reason why
they had not been forwarded as agreed
Justice Ingram held Mrs. Perkins in 500
bonds for trial next Thursday. She said
In court that If the charges against her
were pushed she would bring several letters
to court that would tell sensational story.
Not Yet Returned.
A reporter of The Star visited the office
Of Col. Tracey this morning to interview
that official, but found the office closed
No one knew anything of Col Tracey's
whereabouts and did not know where the
clerk had gone.
Col. Tracey's attention has been called
to this matter, however. before, and to a
reporter of The Star he made a sweeping
denial of all the charges. He said the
woman was not of sound mind. That he
had assisted her financially in the past,
and she had strange hallucination that
she had some claim upon him. He had
never borrowed one cent from her.
