HOTEL CLARENDON

Dr. and Mrs. Charles b. White OF
New York City arrived on Wednesday
To be present at the opening of the
Hutel Clarendon. Their summer
home is in Brewster. near New York,
and the doctor practices his profess
sion in the city Because of the ex-
ceptionally fine weather DIR. and Mrs.
White did not leave their New York
home until late in December. when
they travelled Ieisurely To Florida Wis
iting en- route friends in savannah.
Ga, and in jacksonville. They spent
week or so at Cocoa. Fla, the cen
ter of the orange growing district. DR..
White was the house physician of the
Clarendon last year and made many
friends during his soiourn. He holds
an eminent and distinguished position
in his professional world.
When asked by News representa-
tive what his opinion was OF the beach
rs a place OF healthful climatic con-
diiion the doctor said
II hardly feel qualified to make a
decisive statement regarding health
condition here. as this is only my sec
ond season, and last Year was an un-
usually disagreeable one because of
the continued rain. Whenever there
asas a blizzard in the North there was
rain here. which interfered to quite
am extent with the pleasures usually
afforded by the place. This year the
climate seems perfect This winter
Ia the North up to this time has been
exceedingly agreeable"
Regarding the so-called crime wave
in New York the doctor said:
ANY crime wave that there may be
in New York at this time is due 10 the
lax and careless police system. Chi
cago has the criminal condition un-
der the best control of any city of
which | know, and her police protec-
ton Is in the best condition. There
they have the criminals checked with
q card system and as well every pa
trolman In the CITY, In this way II a
pairolman's district shows unusual
crimiiiality he is called 10 account for
il and closer watch is kept upon him
and his district In New York they
cannot expect to keep crime and
criminals within bounds ii their best
and most efficient officials are sta
toned out at the Bronx and other out :
lying districts. Naturally in that case
the downtown business district will
snffer.
When it was cited to the doctor that
III many Of the great murder myster-
les no one was arrested or punished.
he said:
While that is true it is rot the
fault OF the police officials. What
complain OF is the continual robbing
and b,irglarizlng in the business sec
ton. 1t ought TO be easy for a well
organized force to lessen these Of
lenses very materially Any one who
is familiar with New York as it is to-
day in these respects and as it was
several years ago will note the differ
ence Four years ago under the
former regime. New York criminal
condition was dealt with about as
Chicago's is today, though the sys-
tenn was not quite so complete AM
well organized"
DR.. White said he had confidence
in he incoming administration; that
The Republicans had promised much
aud that he believed that they would
endeavor Il keep their promises and
thai sine ere effort would be made
~ cut dow the expenditures of tho
government
When Dl White was asked what
ne thought about votes for women, BE
said:
q think the principal thing II will
do will be to add wieldiness to the
already wieldly vote. am. not
against the women voting. but ] think
there should be q qualification for al
voters. both men and women. The in
teiligent people should vote. | be-
lieve many women are indifferent &c
the right of franchise. couple. O.
years ago inquired Of a friend OF
mine IN California whether OF not his
wife voted. TO which he replied: Yes
indeed, Mrs. D. votes because | SEE
to il that she does. but none OF hel
friends do / expect that viii b
the condition in the other states The
women who are housewives are usu-
ally 100 busy to give much considera-
sion TO voting, and the society womer
are too engaged socially or too faz,
TO bother with it. Jury duty is one
thifg that women are going to rebe
against and men are going TO be de
ternlined that they shall perform theil
duty along this line. and in many O
the states the wenen are already be
ing called TO jury service. It is {
duty that most men dislike. for il
takes so much of their valuable time
and they will not be willing to lei
the womea cut on this.
