PRESIDENTS NIECE,
INSULTED IN STREET,
HAS MAN ARRESTED
Then Pleads in Court for
Leniency for Flirt, But DR..
E. c. White Is Sent to
Workhouse for Ten Days.

NEW YORK oct. 20.-Mrs Geors
Howe, niece Of President Wilson, was I
complainant in the Night Court, last night
against DR.. ERNEST C. White. late Of th'
faculty Of the American School Of Osteo
pathy, who, she alleged, followed her fol
20 blocks on Broadway and attempted tc
| hirt with her.
Doctor White was sentenced to 10 days
in the workhouse, though Mrs. Howe
| pleaded for leniency.
| Mrs. Howe. whose husband Doctor
Howe, is head of the department Of
Latin at the University OF North Caro-
lima, said that Doctor White began fol.
lowing her as she left the Hotel Astor
about o'clock.
She continued down Broadway, stop
ping at several stores to make purchases,
and reached Broadway and 2ith street
at 7:30 There some one grasped her
arm She turned and faced Doctor White.
TAKE your hand away" said Mrs.
Howe Indignantly. As the physician
greeted her with "Hello!' Mrs. Howe
screamed and attracted Policeman
Kaplan, of the West Seventeenth
street station, who arrested Doctor
White.
In Night Court Mrs Howe was a
vision of lovellness. She wore a white
silk dress, white satin slippers and a
white picture hat trimmed with long
white veil. She was still indignant but
pleaded with Magistrate Breen to be
merciful, as she believed Doctor White
was sorry for the annoyance he had
caused her.
"Why did you follow and speak to Mrs
Hover" asked the Magistrate.
Doctor White who is a big, handsome
fellow, said: II thought 1t was. perhaps,
the custom here to do so. For the last
seven years 7 have been in Paris There
1t is usual for men to speak to a coquette,
and / thought perhaps, this lady was a
coquette. / did not hesitate to speak to
her because 1t Is not considered an Of
fense to speak to a woman in the streets
of Paris without an introduction.
Besides continued the physician,
warming to his subject, II was strongly
attracted to this lady. l first saw her
white veil fitting in and put among the
crowd. Then / caught a glimpse of her
face-a pretty face. So I thought would
speak to her.
Don't you really know that here in
America 1t Is not customary for man
to speak to a woman he does not know?"
asked the Magistrate
Doctor White inflated his chest and re-
piled: DO l look like man a woman
would be annoyed at because I spoke to
her?'
This angered the Magistrate, and he
sentenced Doctor White.
Mrs. Howe Is living at 1872 East 10th
street. She has appeared on the stage
under the name of Miss Margaret Vale.

MUNICIPAL ICE BOX
Cold Storage Cleveland's New Blow
at High Cost of Living,

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2o.-Cleveland has
developed new municipal quirk to re-
duce the well-known high cost OF living
It's the municipal Ice box, a huge refrig-
Grating plant at one of the city-owned
markets. Cleveland housewives can now
buy fruit, vegetables and eggs at summer
and autumn prices. At very small cost
these commodities can be stored in the
municipal ice box, and when midwinter
finds prices of food stuffs almost to the
sky line, they can be taken out just as
good as new.
The municipal cold storage Is new idea
originating with j. NJ. McCurdy, superin-
tendent of the plant. Many housewives
have formed clubs to take advantage of
the city's offer.
