MRS NATION AT WORK.
Damaged Two Saloons to the Amount
 of Sl 800,
of $1,5OO.

Ol S1,ooC
 Wichita, Kan, Jan 22.-Mrs Carrie Nation, Mrs Nilho1te and Mrs Evans, three W. c. T. U. women, raided the Senate and Herrig's Palace, two sa- looms on East Douglass avenue yester- day and with rocks and billiard balls damaged the two places to the extent of S1 800. Mirrors, oil paintings and cut glass were smashed.
 The raid took place about , o'clock yesterday afternoon and lasted only tif- teen minutes. The two women were just entering another saloon, Which was wrecked by Mrs Nation three weeks ago, when the police arrived and took the three women to the Sta' ton in a patrol wagon. When called before Chief of Police CubDin he sa'
 'You women are discharged. l have no right to detain you. I would like to have you promise not to raid any more until tomorrow afternoon, though, for by that time the saloon men can swear out warrants, if they care to-"
 Mrs Nation, as spokesman, agreed not to do any more damage until to- morrow. The three women then went down Douglass avenue, followed by thousands of men, women and chil- dren. In front of the Manhattan ho- tel, on East Douglass avenue, Mrs Ma ton climbed into a transfer wagon and made q speech. in which she stat ed that the work of smashing saloons had only begun. This angered some drunken men, who howled her down and made her run toward the Santa Fe station. After running several blocks she turned and showed fight The men crowded in around her and several were hit over the head by large cane which she carried. Then the police interfered to save her. She said she was going to leave town last night, but the police are watching her movements while most of the saloons in town closed up for the night, Mrs Nation said: This has only commenced. as l told you before. l have found that they cannot do any thing with me and 1 intend to keep It up I will have other women to help me- as you see they did here" Mrs Evans, one of the raiders. was l severely cut about the face by falling rocks and was taken to the hospital. | where several stitches were taken in | the wounds.
 Large crowds were on the streets | last night. There were many who said 1 they will run Mrs Nation out of town. l while she has many supporters who say she is doing right. Chief Of Po- 1 lice Cubbon says that another war has commenced against the saloons and IL 1 will be bitter one. He said 1t was l useless for him to keep the women Tn | jail as they would get out by order or the supreme court, as they did be1ore. | The case against Mrs Nation TOT vrecking the "Carri Bar was dls- missed because the saloon men falied to prosecute.

Twenty Year Prisoner Discovered
 Digging His Way Out of Jail


 Elizabeth, N. J., Jan o2.-Thomas Doyle, who was sentenced by Judge Van Sickle on Thursday last to twenty years Imprisonment for killing Maui rice E. Baldwin. farmer of Spring held, began to plan his escape from the county jail immediately on his re- turn to his cell after sentence. His scheme was frustrated by a "trusty," who heard Doyle at work.
 Doyle had taken a steel shank from his shoe and ground it to razor edge. Then he split the end of a stool rung and put one end of the shank in the opening, afterward bind ing it fast with a rag. He had also driven long nail through the end of the handle 50 as to use it like an auger.
 Lying under his cot he began to loosen the brick work of the flooring of the cell. The warden put special guard at the cell, but Doyle had no suspicion his movements were watch ed until last night, when the warden told him that he would have to be moved to another cell as the old cell required cleaning. The cell was ex- am!ned, and Doyle's work lay bare. The warden fc1nd another steel shank and quantity of wire taken from 2 broom. The hole he had dug he had filled up with soap and bits of rags. What he dil with the brick that he removed is q mystery
 Questioned by the warden, Doyle said that he had hoped to be able to dig a hole sufficiently large to drop into the main corridor below, and then to saw through the bars of a window. All the windows are nine feet from the floor.
 Sheriff Houston took Doyle to the statQ prison this morning.

COMMISSIONER MUNSON.
Holds a Short Conversation Over the

Holds a Short Conversation Over the
 Telephone.
 County Commissioner Hart D. Nun son feels very badly, says yesterdays New Haven union- At II o'clock this morning the tele- phone 1862 in the Union editorial room rang. and the following conver- sation took place over the wire:
 Hello. Hello"
 s.Is this the Union office"
 Tt is.''
 ..This is County Commissioner Hart D. Munson. I want to thank you for the send off you gave me. and nope to be able to return the favor at future date.'
 Yes. Sir-'
 <And I'll be d-d if 1 won't go out or my way to return it to-
 Then the tranSmitterS were hung
 County Commissioner Munson evi- dently feels chagrined that the Union correctly furnished the news regard ing Representative Thompson chances of succeeding him as county commissioner. MT Munson thought that Attorney r. w. Chase had ar ranged Munson's reelection by mak- ing q deal with Judge Dow. But Judge Dow's record as an old soldier and his integrity are not strong enough to pull MT Munson through.
 The Union, of course, realizes that Mir Munson was expressing his grat- itude for the reason that 1t had noth- ing further to say, after stating that he would not be chosen to succeed himself.
 1t doubtless would be very embar. rassing to County Commissioners Mun- son to read in print that the least or the objections to his reelection is that he supported Donald T. Warner, and threw mud at Governor Mclean. We might add that We have yet to ma that county commissioners are requir- ed by the statutes to visit liquor sa- looms to further the interests or re- publican nominees. Of course, MT Munson is too high minded a gentle l man to resort to these practices. This applies to commissioners in some or 1 the other counties. The county con- | missioners of New Haven would not do this. They know better. They l know their business.

THE GYPSY QUEEN"
Pupils From Notre Dame Entertain at
 St Patrick'S Fair

St Patrick's Fair.
 A large audience was present last night at St Patrck's fair despite the lnclemency of the weather. The stage entertainment was furnished by about thirty little tots from Notre Dame con- vent who presented the charming op- eretta, The Gypsy Queen The op- eretta was very pretty and as it was rendered in an especially delightful ! manner by the little mademoiselles it could not but make hit with the au- dience. Genevieve ScuIly as the "Gyp- sy Queen,'' was a winsome little miss. She played her part in a very clever manner. Miss Sadie Wolff as the ped dler sang sweetly and was q prime favorite With the audience, While Miss Louise Martin, judging by her acting last night, promises to be- come a clever entertainer. As a whole the performance was meritoriOuS one and was greeted with hearty applause. Tonight the I. NJ. C. l.. A. will fur nish the stage entertainment, and it will surpass all previous efforts at- tempted by the '. M. c. L.. A. boys in this line. The program will be as fol- lows: Soprano solo, Miss Lynch of Naugatuck; baritone solo, James Cas- sidy; piano duet, Miss Julia and Mas ter Michael Brennan; negro special ties. Miss A. Whalen; selections by male quarter. Dancing will prevail the same as on other evenings. To- morrow the boys minstrels will ap- pear. AS there are many people who are employed in stores who desire to witness this performance, the manage nent would be conferring q great ben- eft upon them if the stage entertain ment was not commenced as early as
 usual About seventy boys will ap- | pear in this performance, accompanied | by a boy orchestra. The Shelby boys l will perform in the oliO and Messrs | Johnson and Greenberg will render i selections on the mandolin. while Mas
 ter Blansfield will be heard in several clever banjo solos. On Thursday night the B. A. c. will put on their finest talent, due notice of which will be l given.
