CARRIE IN new YORK
The Kansas Smasher Created
a Remarkable Sensation
on Park Row.

NEW YORK, October 2.-(Special.)-
Carrie Nation visited Park Row beane-
ry to-day and caused an outburst of
hoodlumism that is seldom seen. For over
two hours the cars were blocked and
traffic suspended The police reserves
were finally called out to clear the
street.
Just how the news spread that Carrie
Nation was in the restaurant is not
known. In five minutes there was not
a diner that was not aware Of her pres
ence. The stairs leading to the second
story, where Mrs Nation was, became
blocked with the curious. Finally the
manager ordered the stairs cleared and
there was hubbub. Through it all, how
ever, Mrs. Nation discussed her meal
complacenty. When persons left the
restaurant they went no further than the
sidewalk directly in front of the dining
room. and waited for her to come out.
The news quickly became current along
the street. and by 12:45 o'clock there was
a big crowd blocking the sidewalk and
a portion OF the street. Persons had to
fight their way In and out of, the place,
and by l o'clock the crowd had increased
to 1000.
Every woman emerging from the res
taurant who could lay the slightest claim
to embonpoint was heralded with cries of
Hello. Carrie!" "Oh! amt she sweet!'
and the like.
One elderly woman in black, sorely
pressed by those who mistook her for the
Kansas smasher. laid about her with an
umbrella with a vigor that even the gen.
uine smasher might have envied-
Business at the restaurant was at a
complete standstill, and finally the man
ayers called up police headquarters for
assistance. The reserves from the Oak
Street Station were sent out but it took
some time for them to arrive on the scene,
and in the interim the crowd completely
blocked the street from the post-ofioe to
the restaurant windows Cars were STALL
ed from loop for twenty blocks. Every
woman that came out of the restaurant
was hooted at and some were pelted with
pieces of newspapers as they dashed
through the crowd.
Mrs. Nation was let out the back way.
Tho manager addressed the crowd. an
nouncing her escape, but was only hoot-
ed Then the reserves arrived. TheI'
Charged the crowd and cleared a space
in front of the restaurant. But the crowd
only fell back as far as the police pushed
them, and waited for several hours.
Mrs. Nation, on her way to the restau-
rant, knocked cigarette out of the mouth
of a newsboy. He was nearly prostrated
with surprise and anger, gasping: What
de hell is on ye." The smasher shifted
her contempt.

Louis Lutz, foreman of Sautelle's circus
was shot by negro during the perform
ance yesterday afternoon. He died at the
CITY Hospital about o'clock this morn
ing.
Never in the history of this show, =
said Sig. sautelle last night. NOR in the
history of any other, has there ever been
such a day as this before; first the shoot
ing of Lutz. then the accident during the
chariot race. and lastly fight between
the cooks
While trying to prevent a big, black
negro from entering the tent without pay
ing the price of admission, Louis Lutz,
foreman of the show, was shot and
fatally injured by the negro, whose
name is not known.
Lutz was walking around the tent to
see that no one entered in any way eN-
cept through the main entrance. He dis
covered a negro crawling under the tent.
He at once ordered him away. At this
the negro became angered and drawing a
revolver, and standing within few feet
Of the Snowman fired. His aim was ac-
curate, and the bullet took effect in the
stomach, int1icting probably fatal
wound.
Seeing that he had shot Lutz, the negro
took flight. The usual crowd of negroes
that follows a circus crowded around the
injured man and in that way allowed the
culprit to escape.
Up to midnight the negro had not been
captured. There are several officers on
the trail, however, and there is little
doubt that he will be brought to justice
within few hours
A Native of Michigan.
Lutz was from Port Huron, Mich. and
had been connected with the circus fol
the past seventeen years. He was without
family and is exceedingly popular among
the members of the circus.
i Immediately following the shooting, the
ambula nee was summoned. and respond
ed with DR.. Sandidge in charge. After
examining the injured man. who from the
time he was shot had been in q critical
condition, the doctor removed him to the
almShouSe where he was operated
upon as a last resort. DR.. Sandidge ex-
mans recovery.
Axe for Cookies Head.
Frank Pike. of New York city, and
Frank Grafton of Cahooes. n. j., two
cooks employed by the circus, got in a
dispute as to which one of the two was
in authority.
"And just to think" said Sig. Sautelle
''fussing over such a thing. when neither
is boss" To settle the question:, and
show that he was boss, Pike picked up an
axe and hit Grafton over the head, with
out serious effect to Grafton however

ROANOKE, VA, October 2.-(speciaD
Tonight an attempt was made to aseei-
tain the price of soft coal in this city
to the dealers c. B. Bell. representing
Castner, Curran & Bullitt. was seen. out
refused to submit any wholesale prices,
saving there were ten grades OF Pocahon-
tas coal. all ranging at different
prices. He stated that they had re-
fused absolutely to I'LL orders for steam
coal. as there We're more orders ahead
than can be met. The local coal dealers
would not talk for fear of being boy
cotted They claim. however, that the
recent raise in price from $500 to S6.o
per ton was due to an equal advance by
A1essrs Castner. Curran & Bullitt. Ihey
aver that their profits will be much
less. as they will have to invest $40 more
per car for coal than formerly.
It is understood that the agents claim
that they can obtain better prices else
where than here hence their dilatory
methods in furnishing local dealers. 1t
is a well-known fact that the price OF
Pocahontas lump and nut coal to deal
ers is about $3.50 per eon.
