COUPLE ARRESTED

Philadelphia.-SOulful kisses. ex-
changed by a Philadelphia couple at
the front door of the young lady's
home, when the street was dark and
conditions opportune, might have end
ed right there, had 1t not been for
Frank Neese, who wears the badge of
the vice squad. Vice was o ramp
ant. He saw the kiss and stopped. He
watched and drew out his watch. The
second hand passed round and round
again. Still they fingered, lips cling
ing, like a pair of figures on a maya
zine cover.
1t was too much for q mere vice
squad. That's why "breach of the
peace" and kiss" became synonymous,

DEATH TOLL OF so OR so
TEN KILLED AND TWENTY IN.
JURED BY EXPLOSION IN
PRUSSIAN PLANT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Jan. 23.-The death roll OF
Friday nights explosion is now be.
tween fifty and sixty, according to
Lloyd's Weekly News. In ten hos
pitfalls on Saturday twenty-one per
sons died, and there were 112 pa
tients receiving treatment, the week
~ adds. In addition, 2G5 persons suf-
fering from lighter injuries were
treated. There is no evidence that
the explosion was other than the re-
suit of a fire, such as that to which
any factory is subject. The central
point of the volcanolike upheaval was
in the heart of the working district
OF a suburban town. AT GAS p. III. a
series of explosions suddenly rams
formed the works into a fiery furn-
ace, and great masses of burning
liquid and timber and red hot iron
were hurled high in the air.
Mingled with the d~eafening crash
of beams and girders were cries from
the working people. An adjoining
flour mill, in which women and girls
were employed, was engulfed.
An official announcement in regard
to the explosion was given out:
"Thc explosion appears to have in
volved practically all the explosives
in the factory, which was itself com
petty destroyed. Fires were caused
in neighboring warehouses and fac
tories, one of the largest of which was
an important flour mill. The explO-
sion was felt for a great distance.
Three rows of small houses in the
immediate neighborlGod were practi-
cally demolished and considerable
damage was %occasioned to other prop
erty.".
What was yesterday a busy subur-
ton, looks today as though it had
been bonbarded by a mighty fleet of
Zeppelins."
The Woolwich arsenal is situated
on the south bank OF the Thames, ami
before the war was considered
one of the most imposing establish
ments in existence for the manufac-
ture of materials of war.
The arsenal proper covers an area
of about 1885 acres, but a consider
able territory around the central
plant has been dotted with number
less workshops.
1t is understood that $1,000 male
and female workers are employed in
the arsenal proper while the factories
in the neighborhood employ an add
tional 10000 hands, mostly women
1t appears probable from the Off
cial statement in regard to the dis
aster, particularly the reference to the
mill nearby, that the explosion
not occur on the grounds of the
old Woolwich arsenal proper, al
the factory destroyed may
have been one of those established in
the vicinity.
Friday nights explosion was not
only heard within a radius of many
miles from the zone, including Lon
Ion and suburban towns, but shook
buildings and broke windows a long
distance away.
Ten persons were killed and TWEEN
y injured by an explosion in a NUM-
ions laboratory at Spandau, Prussia,
according to a Berlin dispatch for
to Reuters, via Amsterdam.

COURT RETURNS HER PIPE
Negroes, Smoker of Opium. Is Re-
leased and Regains Confiscated
Smoking Outfit.

Inability of the municipality to
make a case caused the court yester-
day afternoon to discharge Ethel
Mimm, negress, arrested on charge
of vagrancy following the filing of
complaint by IA white man that she
had robbed him of $50
Detectives Lewis and Blaine and
Patrolmen Kopplin and -Cleaver made
the arrest at 3 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing at 305 East Archer. When the
officers looked thru a window the
woman was smoking an opium pipe.
Seventy-two dollars in money was
found when she was searched at the
police station.
Following the dismissal, counsel
for the defense recited recent supreme
court rulings relative to opium smok-
ing, showing that 1t was not unlawful
to smoke opium and asked the court
to return the smoking apparatus to
the defendant. This was so ordered
by the court. Perhaps at no time in
the history of the court has such an
order been given.
