provided for lawyers when the colored janitor
of the building, who didn't know her. ordered
her away. go away" Indignantly replied
Miss Kane, who is quite large and muscular.
You get out, sayr' repeated the jsnitor.
II will not; get away from me-"
At this the colored man stepped to the side Of
the lawyer and was about to take hold Of her
when she drew back and struck him violent
blow in the mouth with her overshoe. Before
he recovered from his surprise he received
another blow in the face, this time between the
eyes. Then they clinched Attorneys, police
men, detectives and reporters jumped to the
rescue and hauled the janitor before his honor,
who fined him So for contempt OF court He
paid it, and was ordered to keep out Of the
court room thereafter. Miss Kane had the
sympathy of everybody who saw the row.
Some years ago she threw glass Of water into
the face Of a Milwaukee judge whose decision

why not remove the statue of Jackson to the
site of the basin in the lawn north Of the execu-

exclusively for the memorial to the French
patriot to be placed where Jackson's statue
now is2
There will be such an incongruity between
the Lafayette memorial and the Equestrian
statue OF Jackson Cor of Washington, ii placed
in proximity, that the effect of both will be
impaired. An equestrian statue in front OF the
