denly Refuses to Participate.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. S-Mrs. Nation,
last night for the first time displayed the

thirty followers, who armed with
hatchets, had gathered in secret to ar
range night raid on Topeka joints.
Of several male students OF WashburD

take part in the raid and also see that
the crusaders were not molested. The
excitement at the meeting was intense
1t was decided to saudter out at 3 o'clock
in the morning and demolish every j.int
in town. Suddenly, when everything
seemed satisfactorily arranged for a ter
rifle onslaught, Mrs. Nation baked, be-
gan putting on her wraps and said that
she was going home. Her followers in
stantlp foil into mighty uproar. Ex-
prsssions Of surprise were mingled with
words of condemnation.
One woman, who had spent the greater
part OF the day collecting hatohets and
soliciting aid for the crusaders, rushed
up to Mrs Nation, shook her fist in her
face and said: Mrs Nation, you are q
coward"
For a moment Mrs. Nation lost con-
troll OF herself-ths first time since she
started on her smashing tour.
"I'm not coward" said she, land l

A dozen voices were raised. "Ill 60;

an instsnt raid would result. But Mrs.
Nation, soon collecting herself, turned to
bantering her followers, told them she
was tired, that the "Lord did not wish
her to go tonight" and without further
ado left the room.
While the women waited to wonder at
their leaders latest move, Mrs. Nation,
accompanied by reporter, made the
rounds of the joints to satisfy herself
that all were closed, The jointists, an
ticipating raid, had closed and barri-
caded their doors, and at midnight, Mrs.
Nation won't to her home.
During the evening Mrs. Nation was
questioned about her Chicago trip, which
had been planned for next week, but she
could tell nothing definite about it. II
