How can the women assist him? By

Howell sentenced a man Tuesday to

punish in the same manner every other
man accused of this misdemeanor, he
says.
'sThere isn't a fine heavy enough for

TWO YOUNGSTERS
John Garrity's Home, on Hart

SEMI-CONSCIOUS BOY OF
FIVE CARRIED TO SAFETY
Good Mornings Work by Walsh
and Huebner, of Fifth
Precinct.

Daring rescues were performed by
Policemen Walsh and Huebner, of the
Fifth Precinct, in an early morning
fire at the home of John Clarity, u
Hartford street. A lamp in the kitchen
on the second tloor ear exploded, and
when the fire was discovered the room
was ablaze.
While Walsh turned in an alarm,
Huebner rushed into the burning
building, closely followed by Walsh.
The former found 5-year-old James
Clarity asleep in a room adjoining the
kitchen.
He was in a semi-conscious CON
dition when the policeman carried aim
to the street.
Helen, one of the ether children of
Mr.. Clarity. was safely taken out Of
the house by Walsh.
Clarity was slightly burned while
extinguishing the blaze. The depart
ment was not called upon to use its ap-
paratus.

This matter has often been discussed
by club women, but no step has ever
been taken to come to the rescue OF
these women. When seen this morning
Miss Harriet Stryker Pitman. 'secre-

also in the cars. They will insist on
sitting opposite women and flirting
with them until it is unbearable, and
what is the poor woman going to do?

rushed off to take his cue and play a
love scene with bewitehing Frances
Ring. He gave me time to think before
I had a chance to continue by interview.
And how this handsome actor can play
love scenesl There wasn't a woman in
the house who didn't follow him word
for word. Before / knew it, l found
myself wondering what he might be ike
in private life. When men, and partic-
ularly actors, are as handsome as he is,
they are apt to be vain and self-cen-
tered, but 1 did not find Mr.. Johnson so.
He has many interests outside of his
profession, for he told me so.

scene.

should not try to deprive them of some
thing we want ourselves n cannot
get along without. 1 say this because
IbelieVe very few women will want to
have such a privilege accorded them.

very few would take advantage of such
a habit should it become a custom"

Howell was called to the courtroom,
where many cases were awaiting his
attention.
And so Judge Howell is going to pro-
tect the women of Newark when walk
ing the streets. 1t is dreadful to think
that young men should SO far forget
themselves and annoy young m
l can almost safely say that most of
these men have sisters, and probably
wives at home. What would they say
if these women were similarly annoyed
by young men? Would they stand by
and say nothing?
Men have said that young women
who do not fiirt are never annoyed. In
argument to this l might cite the case
of the young man whom Judge Howell
sentenced Tuesday. The young women
did not look at him until he boldly
stared at them. The ticket agent of

liar vein on the topic, Optimism told
his hearers to "play fair" Other

ganization to be known as the New
