ONE DOLLAR
The Amount OF an Ohio Woman S
Damage Claim.

Washington, Feb. 5.--Secretary Gage
has recommended to Congress that it
insert in some appropriation bill an
item to pay Mrs. b. n. Reuter-, Of
Pomeroy, O., 81 for damages to her
house, due to blasting conducted by
the United States. This is one of the
smallest, if not the smallest claim ever
presented to Congress. Mrs. Reuter-
occupies house in Pomeroy, near the
place where the army engineers were
blasting out some rocks In making a
harbor of refuge for river craft. One
day a piece of rock was blown through
the window of Mrs. Reuters parlor
smashing pane of glass and damag'
ing the curtain, A glazier replaced the
glass, and Mrs. Reuter- repaired the
curtain, and sent in the bill. AS II
was thought hardly worth the while tC
have a special bill passed to pay Mrs
Reuter-, the Secretary advised the item
'be inserted in an appropriation bill.

After Being Jeered For the
Failure of Her Crusade.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 5.--(Spl) Mrs.
Nation yesterday afternoon met the
first defeat in her saloon-smashing ca
reer. Later, at the police station, she
Iaughingly declared that it was by
no means her Waterloo, and she
would soon again be at her chosen
work.
With six women, each armed with
new hatchets, she had started out at
3 o'clock to wreck restaurant in
East Sixth ST., that also dispensed
liquors. Before she could WELD her
hatchet she was disarmed and free
for all struggle between restaurant
people and wreckers was begun. The
greatest excitement prevailed for q
time, during which numerous eyes
were blackened and many noses bled.
Mrs. Nation herself, unable to accom-.
plish anything, shouted orders to her
followers to reopen the onslaught, but
the hatchet brigade had been stam>
peded and not another hand was rails,
ed against the obnoxious restaurant.
Mrs. Nation was led away to the sta,
ton on a charge of disturbing the
peace, and was followed by jeerlng
crowd. She took her determination
to raid the place very suddenly. A
group of women had gathered in the
United Presbyterian church to plan
for a raid tomorrow morning when
Mrs. Nation decided to so out imme'
dlately and show how she could
"smash joint" At meeting of the
"hatchet brigade" in the United Pres
byterian church in the afternoon she

DIVIDED
Is Sentiment at
Arlington
Regarding the Keller
Shooting Affair.
Many People Sympathize With
the Minister.


New York, Feb. 5.--Blinded and suf-
fering mental torture even more ex,
quisite than bis physical agony, the
Rev. John A. Keller, rector Of the Holy
Trinity mission, in Arlington, n. j.,
protested his innocence of the crime
charged against him by the man who
attempted his life.
Cool and collected, showing no trace
of the frenzy under which he labored
Sunday morning, Thomas Barker re-
fused to see none of his trends who
called at the Arlington, N. j. jail yes
terday to see him. He expressed sor-
row only because he had failed in his
effort to take the life of Mr.. Keller,
once his intimate friend, the man who
he believes violated his home by means
of brute force.
Mrs. Barker bears up well under the
weight of anxiety that oppresses her.
Only once did she give way to hysteria,
that occasion being her parting with
her husband, whom she visited in his
cell. At her home she was visited by
few, the women of Arlington not hav.
ing determined where their sympathy
should be bestowed.
There are those who believe that of
the three principal characters in this
remarkable life drama, the Rev. John
A. Keller occupied the best position.
His injuries, though of a serious ma.
ture, are not necessary fatal. He
will not pass the danger point for sew
eral days, but his condition pleases
and encourages his physicians.
Mr.. Barker was charged with afro
cious assault and battery on the Rev
John A. Keller, vicar of the Trinity
Mission, Protestant Episcopal church
of Arlington, and secretary of the
Episcopal diocese of Newark. The
complaint also contained the clause
charging him with intent to kill
Barker waived examination and wa'
held without bail, and remanded te
the Hudson county jail, to which hs
will be taken tomorrow.
Two stories are told, all of which
have n bearing upon this case. One
is that which is given to his friends
by Mr.. Barker. 1t is n repetition OF
the confession which his wife is saiG
to have made to him last Saturday
night, and which drove him into the
frenzy that resulted In his attempt
upon the life of Mr.. Keller.
Another story is told by the mem
bers of the Trinity mission and which
accounts for the manner in which
Mr.. and Mrs. Barker withdrew from
the church organization, relates tina
the latter is hysterical woman, sub
ject to fits of great mental excite
ment, during which she is not held ac
countable for her actions.
All Arlington is taking sides &C
cording to belief in these two stor
les.

prised, but smiled and called to the
women: "Ladics, you are armed. II
you can't get to tho place throw your
hatchcts through the windows"
But the women were too demoralized
to obey her. They had not her pres
ence OF mind. Mrs. Nation was led
away between two big police officers.
She was not down.cast at her lack of
success, and laughed when people
spoke jestingly to her. Her brown
veil and gray shawl futtered in the
wind, and she made queer figure as
she walked down the street.
At the police station Mrs. Nation
was formally charged with disturbing
the peace, and her name was entered
on the docket. The police Judge was
at the station. Mrs. Nation refused to
go to his room to see him regarding
her offense, but insisted that he come
to her. When he did so, Mrs. Nation
was informed that she would have to
report for trial at the Police Court In
the morning, and was then released on
her own recognizance. She said she
would be glad to do so, and then pro-
ceeded to hold an impromptu prayer
meeting in the police station. She
prayed that the work that she had be-
gun in Topeka might be abundantly
prospered. While she was praying
a drunken man was brought in by a
policeman. Mrs. Nation went to the
prisoner and Informed him that she
was his friend at all times even though
the policemen were not. She then de.
livered scathing address to members
Of the police force present. She said
they would permit the joints to run
in open violation of law all the while,
and would then arrest the men who
were made drunk by the liquor sold
there. Mrs. Nation taunted the police,
calling them towards, saying they
were afraid to arrest anybody but wo-
men and drunken men.
Followed by the crowd Mrs. Nation
went to the federal building, where
she inquired for her mail. she then
mounted the steps Of the building and
made an address to the crowd. She
said she would smash all the joints in
the city, and she would stay here long
enough to accomplish this purpose if
it took months. She was not afraid,
she said, as she had no reason in the
world to be. There We're many wo-
men in the city who would help her,
and they would do so at the proper
time. She had not intended to begin
the joint raids until Wednesday. While
she and other women were in store
buying the hatchets that were to be
used in the raid woman came in and
said her son had spent all his money
in Murphy's place the pisht before.
"Well, let's go and smash it right
now," said Mrs. Nation, and the other
women agreed. Some interesting de
velopments are looked for today. The
saloonkeepers have negroes hired tc
watch their places of business, and
: they have ordered them to shoot down
any person, man or woman, who shall
: attempt to do mischief.

announced that raid would be made
on drug store and joint at z o.
clock Tuesday morning. The women
were alarmed at the publicity which
Mrs. Nation gave her plans, but Mrs.
Nation said she was mot particular
W interested in keeping tho matter
a secret"
"All women who will promise to
come with me with their hatchets to-
morrow ut Z am, to do some work,
stand up" said Mrs. Nation. Nine wo-
men stood. That's good" exclaimed
Mrs. Nation. Two arc enough to
smash a joint and three women are
q host / broke up joint myself, all
alone, in twenty minutes. Now
want to give you little advice. We
are not fooling about this thing. We
are in holy warfare. Don't be
scared. If you are afraid to start
the work l will start for you. Above
all, be quick about it. Smash just as
hard as you can. These saloon men
won't hurt you. You will see them
shake as If they had the ague when
you come near them. They are afraid
of the arm of God. You men need
not come with hatchets; don't come
armed, for there Is to be no blood
shed. But If a saloon man tries to
stop us women you may have the priv.
ilege of rolling him in the snow. That
won't hurt him. Now, everybody take
courage and come around bright and
early tomorrow morning"
Then came the conference and the
determination to wreck a joint imme,
diately. Surrounded by half dozen
women, all armed with hatchets, Mrs.
Nation led the way down Kansas ave
She was followed by thousands of peo.
pie, who tramped behind and before
her in the deep snow, shouting like
a mob. Mrs. Nation had no hatchet.
She stopped at store and bought one.
The procession went on until the
Unique restaurant, No. 116 East Sixth
ST., was reached few minutes before
8 o'clock. Then the women, headed
by Mrs. Nation, made a rush for the
door. She had warned the proprietors
she would raid the place If they did
not stop selling liquors, and they were
prepared for her attack. The Ratchet
was ierked from her hand by stout
man, and the women were forced
back.
A fierce fight followed between the
restaurant. men and Mrs. Nations de-
tenders. For a quarter of an hour
they struggled in the street, while the
mob yelled encouragingly to Mrs Ma
ton. Many personal encounters took
place, but the police seemed without
power to stop it. Finally, In despair
they arrested Mrs. Nation, and took heI
to Jail. The crowd followed her and
the restaurant was left unharmed. Mrs
Nation was not injured.
During all the fierce struggle that
went on in the street, while women
and boys were knocked down ant
trampled Oh and the crowd was shout
ing and yelling, Mrs, Nation never
lost her presence Of mind The hatch

A theatrical event Of considerable
importance will be the production on
Friday, Feb o, at the Grand, of Clyde
Fitch's great Revolutionary play,
Nathan Hale" which had such
successful run at the nickerbocker
Theater in New York. All the beauti-
full costumes and effective scenery
of the New York production will be
brought here entire and the company
that will interpret the play has been
pronounced by the author brilliantly
adapted to their task.
In Nathan Hrle," Mr.. Fitch has
constructed what must be regarded as
an eminently representative American
play. He has taken as ilis hero that
noble young American who is one of
the proudest figures of which our nation
can boast. Nathan Hale is dear to the
hearts of all Americans. Sentenced
to death at the early age of twenty
! one years after having been trapped
by the British while fulfilling the un-
grateful though necessary mission as
Revolutionary spy, he stands as pre-.
eminent model of all that is noble,
self sacrificing and patriotic,
