Char Wichita Woman,

The action OF a lone woman in
wrecking the bar in the Carey Hotel
at Wichita. Kas.. Is reminiscent OF the
so-Callcd Ohio crusade. during which
a number OF saloons were invaded by
women. whose zeal In a good cause
sometimes led them or their sympa-
thizers TO destroy property and other
wise break the laws of the state. says
an exchange. The experience of tn q
Kansas reformer Ia also an illustration
of the advantage OF being woman
when work Of this kind Is to be under
taken. II a man. for instance. had en-
tered the bar of the Wichita hotel and
had begun to throw stones through
valuable mirrors and paintings he
might not have been shot but he GER

1t was. the attendants were so start
led by the sight OF well dressed w1-
man doing such damage that they
stood silent until the damage had been
done. Then they called the police, at
whose polite invitation the crusader
finally consented to accompany them
to Jail. There she was visited by a
band of sympathzers. who appealed
to Governor Stanley to appear and de-
fend her
