Of the dive when the police arrived, Mrs.
Nation and her followers could not have
done better. The young men took off
their coats and then proceeded to de-
moiish the furniture Window curtains
and portieres were torn down, and doors
kicked off the hinges. The two women
put up a good fight, but they were in
dire straits. If they called police as
SlStance they would he arrested them
selves, and of they did not they
stood a good chance of being muir

been frightfully beaten, and Flossie
Herring, who weighs about 1870 pounds,
had been thrown down the outer stair
way and her leg broken, the other wo-
man tried to get to the telephone to call
the police The young tOughs kept her
