Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Margaret Wilda, thirty-eight years old, was arrested the other night when a policeman saw her smoking a cigarette on the street. The policeman told Mrs. Wilda her act was a breach of the peace. She refused to put the cigarette out and was held in jail over night. She told Magistrate Tracey in the morning she had quarreled with her husband and smoked on the street “for spite.” The magistrate discharged her.
