TO SMOKE ON TRAIN
SO She Got It-sLong nnd Delightful''
Journey In Smoking Com
partment

CINCINNATI. Aug. Miss Hester
McCay. daughter of Chicago con-
tractor, likes to smoke cigarettes and
makes no secret of it, The fact be-
came known today when a ticket
seller told of recent experience with
her.
Business was dull, when the young
man was startled by the strange re-
quest Of the Chicago girl to sell her a
ticket to the Pacific coast including
the right to use the smoking compart-
ment at Will.
II want that privilege because like
to smoke a cigarette occasionally
said Miss McCay. TT will be a long
and delightful journey. The smell of
the smoke of q fine cigar or good to-
bacco is pleasant to me and ] have
just that much American independence
to know that only gentlemen travel in
buffet compartments and sensible ones
at that.
I'm not In the least afraid to go in
the compartment and I enjoy a. smoke
and feel that I can do so without the
least embarrassment, for men are not
like women. Men keep their opinions
to themselves. You know what tar
get women travelling companions
would make of me with their saucy
f1ings.'
Miss McCay secured her ticket just
as she wanted 1t.

physician and surgeon. was arrested
and locked up in the Hyde Park police
station until her friends came and
bailed her out Yesterday, because she
refused to wear the skirt of her flannel
bathing suit while swimming at Jack
son park beach.
Doctor Ladova, according TO her
friends, is an expert swimmer and is
In the habit of wearing a heavy two
piece flannel bathing suit while taking
her morning dips
Yesterday morning, after swimming
for a short time, the skirt OF my suit
hampered me, so 1 decided to discard 1t.
and left 1t at the waters edge" said
Doctor Ladova last night.
"As I was clad IN heavy. full bloom
ers, did not consider that l was en-
croaching upon the public morals by
leaving it off
when I had been in the water a
few minutes one Of the lifeguards told
me to go in and put my skirt on.
I told him that as soon as I came out
of the water I would put IL on, but
that I couldn't swim comfortably as
the skirt dragged me down.
The funny part about 1t was that
the guard wore an abbreviated cos
tune. I was entirely covered from
head TO foot.
When I refused to put on my skirt
he called a policeman. who arrested me
when / came out of the water. I was
held until the patrol wagon came and
then was taken to the station. where
I was booked on charge of violat-
ing the bathing ordinance and was
locked up.
IT teiephoned to Dr. l. Brackett
Bishop Of the Chicago Beach hotel. who
signed my bond, and to Alderman Will
lis o. Nance, an old friend"
Doctor Ladova's case Will come UP
today at / o'clock, when 1t is her in
tention TO contend that she was not
in the slightest degree dressed immod-
estly.
II am going to show them the fool
ishness of making women dress the
way they do while the men run around
in shocking bathing suits" she said.
The mistake is with the system. Men
and women should be provided with
separate bathing places and little
common sense should be used in the
enforcement Of the ordinance"

LIVE SKELETONS

Bulgarian Blouse Effect
in Evening Clothes

NEW YORK. Aug. s.--"You under
stand me. judge, you can't make It a
dress suit fit for asliving skeleton like
other folks, when he, stands a different
way every time I give him try-on.
He is so narrow, believe me, that there
is not enough space around him for all
the seams which coat has got to

This was the answer made by Isaac
Jacobs before Magistrate Geismer in
the Coney island police court. whore
he was summoned by Edward Masher.
a professional thin man employed at
Coney island. Masher, who is feet I
inches high and weighs 81 pounds, COM
planned that he paid 50 deposit on a
suit of evening clothes and that the
suit, when completed, fitted him like a
mother hubbard. He wanted his
money back.
An attorney for Jacobs tried to
rattle" the skeleton, but he stuck to
hts story that the suit appeared more
like a Bulgarian blouse than evening
dress. The magistrate appointed a
committee Of three mutual friends of
the contestants to weigh the merits of
the case and report back to him today.

GEM TH|EF's LOOT
BURIED IN PARK
Police Find $500 Of Udall &
Ballou Jewels in Cache
Near Street Entrance
Convicted Clerk, Warned by
Court, Confesses All the
Stones Recovered

NEW YORK, Aug. e.-There had
been a quantity of the loot stolen in
the Udall & Ballou 100000 jewelry
robbery missing since the theft was
cleared up Most Of 1t had been re-
covered in the lot found in the Penn
syIvania station checking room about
the time of the arrest of William Beck,
the young repair clerk who finally
confessed to the robbery, but nine rings
and pair Of cuff buttons. containing
altogether about Is diamonds and val
ued at $28O0, were not found.
When Beck was arraigned in general
sessions on Friday before Judge Fos-
ter sentence was deferred one week
owing to statement made by William
Barthman of the jewelry firm that the
hiding place of some of the loot still
remained unrevealed. Judge Foster
thereupon gave Beck warning that it
would be better If he made clean
breast OF the whole affair.
Since that time Inspector Faurot and
Captain Jones of the detective bureau
had been trying to persuade Beck that
it would be to his best interests to
tell all he knew about the robbery.
He persisted, however. that Everything
he had taken had been returned and
remained firm in his attitude.
Yesterday, according to the detect
ives. he changed his mind and decided
to make full confession. He told the
Inspector where he could find the miss
ing jewelry. and described just how 1t
could be recovered.
The inspector and Captain Jones,
with Detective Woods. went to spot
described In Central park. near the en-
trance at Eighth avenue and One Hun
dred and Tenth street. Beck told them
he had carefully measured the distance
around the hiding place Of the missing
foot so that he would have no trouble
In recovering it,
Following his directions they counted
8 stones of a particular row of blocks
on the inside of the park wall until
they came to a spot where small
bush grew about 10 inches from the
wall They dug around the roots of
this bush and six inches under the
ground they found the missing stones.
They were wrapped in an old pocket
book that Beck had owned.
He said that he had buried them
there the night following the robbery
of the firms safe in the store at 574
Fifth avenue. He had spent that night
wandering in Central park and got the
idea that Ii would be wise to bury part
of the loot III the park where he could
recover it when the proper time came.
1t lis said that the recovery of the
stones found yesterday makes up In
full the 100000 worth Of jewelry
stolen.
