REFUSES TO REPLY TO WOMEN'S CHARGE OF SMOKING
CINCINNATI, Aug. 9—Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth refuses to dignify the charge that she smokes cigarettes with a reply. The agitation, which was started by some women's clubs of the east, has spread to all parts of the country, and it is said that a committee from the National Anti-Cigarette league will call upon the former president's daughter to urge her to deny that she smokes or quit if she has already indulged in smoking. "I just can't think of denying or affirming the story that I smoke cigarettes," said the young woman. "I can neither deny nor affirm any stories that are in circulation about me and will never under any circumstances grant an interview," persisted Mrs. Longworth.
