ming Low.

Mrs. Kealey has again bobbed up
serenely. She needs provisions, or will
need them in week. and is anxious TO
have an understanding with the govern
ment, at the same time declaring she '.is
not agin the government. and thereby
hangs a tale.
Late yesterday afternoon as Chief of
Police L. /. Brown was walking inside
the Academy grounds near Mrs. Kealy S
house. he heard someone call him. but
did not see anyone. ln a second or two
a hand threw open apair of shutters at
an upper window in Mrs. Kealy's house.
and she saluted Chief Brown. whom she
calls her friend. and who is the only man
to whom she will talk.
Mrs. Kealy said she wanted 10 see
him. and asked him to call, but the
Chief told her he could not as the sentry
would forbid, but he would endeavor 10
get pass from the Superintendent and
would call this morning at 9 o'clock.
Accordingly, Chief Brown sought the
Superintendent Office at an early hour
this morning, but not finding the head
of the Naval Academy, he endeavored
TO get permission to call upon Mrs
kealy at her own request.
This was granted and he sought her
presence. Mrs. Kealy was fixed up''
ready to greet her visitor, and appeared
delighted at the prospect of talking with
someone. She would not admit Chief
Brown, however, but talked to him on
the front porch. She told him she had
enough provisions TO last a week longer;
that she bought her food in cans, and il
kept very well. The water supply, she
said, was sufficient and she reiterated the
old, old story, now worn threadbare, that
she had nothing against the government.
Mrs. Kealy wished Chief Brown to
see the Superintendent and find out ex-
actly what he intended to do, and to
bring her his answer. She asked the
chief to call on Father Rector and tell
him she wished to see him, and when
questioned as to the state of her finances,
she told chief Brown that she had plenty
of money, and should she be put out Of
her home she would seek shelter with
the Sisters at the Convent of Notre Dame
(familiarly known as the Richard arvel
House) and would board with them.
Mrs. Kealy denied any interview with
any reporter. and said che lied if he
said she had attacked him with a frying
pan when he entered her house, for no
one had been there. and she had talked
to no one except lady in the grounds.
Chief Brown told her he did not wish to
deceive her. but that she would have to
get out OF the house, as the government
wanted il, and if she once went out she
could not come back. She said she knew
this, but would he get a place for her
furniture, and wanted to find out just
what the authorities intended to do.
A second visit was made by Chief
Brown to the Superintendent office this
afternoon. Mrs. Kealy's message was
delivered. and the Superintendent sent
the reply that there was no money coming
to her from the government; that his
advice TO her was to vacate the house,
and If she had any claim she could put
1t in later to the government When
Chief Brown told Mrs. Kealy this, she
weakened considerably and tears came
to her eyes as she spoke of packing up
her belongings and asked where she
could get plumber to have the gas
fixtures removed. 1t is evident she in
tends to give in and to end her self-im-
posed imprisonment and no longer resist
the government authorities.
Chief Brown then called upon the
Rector of St. Mary's K. c. Church at
the request of Mrs. Kealy, but as he is
on his vacation, his representative said
the orders of the Father Rector we're
that she must obey the government, and
as she had refused to see him before
leaving the city. he left her this message
On his third visit today after communi-
eating the priests message, Mrs. Kealy
consented to move, and will put her
furniture in storage unless she can get a
house in the city in which to reside. She
will move in day or two.
{ hief rown said Mrs. Kealy has not
changed any since he talked with her on
her way to church six weeks ago. Her
hair IS not gray and she looks no more
haCOard than the did then
