THE REAL THING
Created Great Sensation at New
York Horse Show
LECTURED VANDERBlLTS
VANDERBlLTS
The Evils of overdress Was the Bur
den of Her TaIk-The Police Ex-
tradlted Her From the
Building.

New York, November 20.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation created a sensation at the horse
show today. She harangued the great
gathering on the evils over dress, attempt
ed to break a bottle of champagne and
finally was elected from the building by
the police. Mrs. Nation entered the Gar
den quietly and took seat in the tier.
She had been there only a few minutes
when her gaze rested on the box where
some members of the Vanderbilt family
were sitting. She studied her programme
and then descended to the promenade.
stationing herself In front of the Van
derbilt box she delivered a TRADE on over
dress. In the box were seated Mrs. AL
fred G.. Vanderbilt Reginald Vanderbilt
and Miss Nichols. Alfred @. Vanderbilt
was leaning against the rail Of the prom
enade and did not see Mrs. Nation APP
proach. You ought to be ashamed Of
yourselves the woman screamed at
them. You ought to be ashamed to wear
such disgraceful clothes. Take them off;
take them off at once. and attire your
selves more modestly.'
Alfred @. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position at the rail and went over to
where Mrs. Nation was standing, and
wiping her forehead with a handkerchief
he whispered something in her ear and
pushed her away. The outburst Of the
woman attracted a great crowd OF people
and the occupants of the Vanderbilt box
were evidently much embarrassed. Mrs.
Nation then turned her attention to
other boxes. Finally she started for the
cafe, where she bore down on a party
of men who were drinking wine. Mrs.
Nation seized the bottle and glaring at
the men, shouted Young men, don't
drink such filthy stuff You are going
right to hell. Where is the man who sells
this stuff? Show him to me and will
tell him what think of him.
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance OF
NJ. Vile Pigue, the caterer at the gar
den. Get out of this horrible business"
she shouted at him. you are also going
to hell and running the podies and souls
of men; you are dragging them down
with you. Shame on you; shame on you.'
The Frenchman, however, ran to Mrs.
Nation and rescued the bottle, which she
had repeatedly brandished in the air to
emphasize her remarks. Then he pushed
her out of the door. Here the police took
hold of the Kansas reformer and forced
her out of the building.

Caracas. Venezuela, November 2O.-An
EFFORT Is being made by the European
diplomats to persuade the American min
lister. Mr.. Bowen, to Join in declaration
that the blockade of the Orinoco river Is
ineffective, which Is the position taken by
Germany, France and Italy, as well as
Great Britain. Mr.. Bowen has given q
discreet refusal and is avoiding the ques-
ton with view of not jeopardizing
American interests. and to leave the
hands of the Washington government
free. Secretary of Legation RUSSELL in
his report Of the recent trip OF the United
States ginboat Marietta up the orinoco
holds that the blockade Of Ciudad Bolivar
is effective which Is a partial support Of
the Venezuelan contention.
The government organ, In a statement
inspired by the foreign office, renews its
attack on British Minister Haggard, who
according to the decree issued by the
Trinidad government, 1t states. furnished
evidence of the illegally Of the orinoco
blockade. The paper criticizes the ac-
ton of Great Britain in occupying the
island of Patos In addition to her atti-
tude toward the blockade and continues:
ut is time Venezuela should take into
serious consideration these attempts
against her sovereignty by power which
while ostensibly friendly, Is really hos
tile. Small peoples through their army
and navy have likewise their strength
and can make 1t felt Let not these at
tempts put President Castro under the
necessity of acting and proceeding ener-
getically because Great Britain must suf-

The strong stanad made by President
Castro is based on a confidence that
Great Britain will not invite complica-
lions with the United States by having
to resort to force. The belief is enter
tanned by shrewd and impartial diplomats
that the ultimate object of Great Bril-
tain's action in making the issue a serious
one Is to bring about reason on all the
questions under dispute Minister Bowen
has counaslled President Castro to be pa

Baconsides, will shortly relieve Mr.. Hag-
gard, and an amicable agreement will be
