LISP BETRAYS GIRL WHO
HAD DRUG UNDER TONGUE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.-When
matron searched Lillian Kane at city
hall she could find no trace of cocaine
or morphine which Policeman HICKS
lad asserted would be found on her,
The girl explained with decided
lisp. that her arrest was a mistake;
that she had just happened to be
coming down the steps of house on
Watts street, north of Race, believed
to be a rendezvous of drug users
and peddlers.
Where do you live?" was asked.
"At IA Providenth court the wo-
man replied, lispingly.
How old are your"
twenty-five yearth."
The lisp sounded suspicious, and
the matron examined the woman's
mouth. She lifted her tongue and a
package of cocaine was found un-
der it,
But she still lisped, and then an
other package of drug was found in
her mouth.
In consequence the girl was held
under $500 bail for court by United
States Commissioner Long, charged
with having the drug illegally in her
possession.

SUES HUSBAND WHO
INSISTED On HAVING
RED-HA|RED CHILD

NEW YORK, Dec. 2. - John Ross
Stuart, a mechanical engineer, en-
ployed by the American Steel Foun-
dries company, was sued in the Su-
preme court today for separation
by Mrs. Evelyn M. Stuart, who al
leges that since their marriage in
Michigan City, Ind, in 1911, her hus-
band has been uniformly unkind and
cruel One of the charges of cru
city is that he insisted on having
red-haired child.
Mrs. Stuart says her husband had
an ungovernable temper and "wlies
into angry RACES" She says one OBJ
lection to him is that he had the
mabit of coming home from his trips
unannounced
When they were living at 100 RIVER
side Drive, in 1912, Mrs. Stuart was
out one evening and when she re-
turned she found her husband in bed.
He abused her and insisted on know
ing where she had been.
Says Husband Was Cruel.
She named two restaurants she had
visited with friends. On the following
night her husband took her to these
places to her great modification he
led her before the doorman mad head
waiter in each place and esked if she
had been there with another man the
previous night.
Mrs. Stuart said that in 1918, when
she and her husband were passing a
Broadway restaurant with members
of her family, he stopped and said 20
the other, "She knows too much
a. out these places"
While they were living at the I'M
perial hotel, in the fall of the same
year, she says he told her tc go to her
home in Chicago because he had and
engagement to take another woman
to the Army and Navy football game.
The plaintiff alleged that at the Ho>
tel Chalfonte, in Atlantic City, last
year, her husband told her he was
through with her, and in April last,
while they were leaving the apartment
house at Convent avenue and One
Hundred and Forty-ninth street, .>er
husband suddenly turned and ran
back to the house, saying he in
tended to leave her.
She followed him and when he
locked the door with the chain she
tried to open it. He caught her arm
in the door and injured her so seri-
ously she tainted.
When Mrs. Stuart expected an heir
luast April she alleges that her hus-
band said: eff that baby has not got
red hair / won't have anything to do
with it." In July, when they were
living at 1872 West End avenue, Stuart
is alleged to have said: "Ill change
that smile on your countenance. I'll
smash your face and spoil your pref
ty blue eyes"
Mrs. Stuart says her husband told
her he would rather cut his throat
than live with her longer and openly
boosted of his attentions to a Chica-
go woman, who he said was more in
telligent than his wife.
