NEW YORK, Oct. 21.--Are girls
safe on Broadway at night?
Mrs. Genevieve Thomas, a young,
goodlooking business woman. who
caused the arrest of an alleged
masher, told Magistrate Oberwager
they were not.
The judge Immediately came to
the defense Of the world-known
thoroughfare and termed her
opinion absurd"
The complainant said she had been
accosted by strange men several
times before and had to resort to
police protection.
Yes" she continued, probably
so per cent Of the times that have
been on Broadway unescorted. No
woman can walk on Broadway at
night unaccompanied without being
annoyed and accosted."
Magistrate Oberwager protested at
her statement, declaring:
Il have lived In New York city for
forty years and I believe It to be
the best governed and best regulated
city in the country. Broadway Is
no different from any other street"
However, the alleged masher,
Samuel Simon, q dress manufacturer,
was held in $500 bond for further
investigation. Simon denied the
charge.

public" Skvirsky said.
THE Japanese having already set
a date for the evacuation OF the

bloodshed before they leave-they
supplied their hirelings with arms
