SOCIETY FAVOR|TE RIDES
IN PATROL ON ARREST
Accused of Refusing to Pay
Taxi BiII-HuSband Comes
to Rescue.

An elegantly gowned young woman,
said to be a social favorite in the north
west section OF the city, had the novel
experience last night of riding in a patrol
wagon and being cared for by a physician
at Il police station following her arrest
for refusing to pay for taxicab hire. She
for several hours. and was released when
her husband called at the first precinct
police station and deposited $40 collateral
for her appearance in the Police Court
tomorrow.
She told the police her name was Mrs.
Caroline Smith and named prominent
Pennsylvania avenue hotel as her resi-
dence. The police learned. however, that
Smith was not her name and that she
does not live at the hotel in question.
Taken to Station.
Mrs. Smith was taken to the third
precinct station. The chauffeur said she
had refused to pay for the hire of the
machine, which amounted to about $40.
The charge of refusing to pay cab hire
was placed opposite her name.
From the police station she was re-
moved to the house of detention, but, be-
cause Of her condition, IT was deemed ad-
visable to first take her to the Emergency
Hospital for treatment. From there she
was taken to the first precinct station
and placed under the care of the police
matron.
During conversation with the police,
it is stated, Mrs. Smith said she had
dined at prominent cafe with friend
of the family, and said she later became
ILL., She did not have $40 with her, the
amount of collateral demanded, and 1t
was therefore necessary for her to re-
main in custody until her husband called
and deposited that sum.
