INVADES A SALOON.
Carrie Nation Talks Temperance While
Men Order Drinks

Carrie Nation. who is visiting Washing
ton. invaded the precincts of the enemy
today. At the hour of noon with a Bible
in her hand. she walked into the saloon of
Theodore G. Stoner Cos Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest, and announced to the men
lined up at the bar that she wanted to
speak to them. She opened the Bible
which was we'll worm and read some in
vectives against drinking and against the
man who helps the other man to drink
Then she began exhortation against
treating.
me drink makes a man drunk she
declared. land when he has one drink he
is drunk enough to have second and a
third. and SO on. So every drink makes a
man drunkard."
Just at that time two well-dressed men
walked into the saloon, stepped briskly in
front of Mrs. Nation and. leaning against
the bar. called for high balls
Don't drink that rotten slop" shouted
the woman preacher. Men. l am talking
to YOU
She pointed directly at the two who had
just come in.
after their thirst had been quenched
the two men turned and started to walk
toward the door.
You look like gentlemen. but you drink
like drunkards.' she shouted at them They
turned and each laughed.
You laugh now. but you don't know
what you are doing to your souls" she con-
tinued
You know this book (holding up the
Bible) places a curse on the man behind
the bar she stated. She turned directly
to the proprietor of the place and shook
her fist at him. AS she continued to tell
him what she thought of his business
and what she believed would happen to
him after death she continued shaking her
clenched hand.
You men want to remember that you
are on the way to your own funerals
You are twenty-four hours nearer to your
funeral today than you were yesterday,
and you will be twenty-four hours nearer
tomorrow than you are today. You want
to be careful what you do on the way
to your funeral
"All can't be smart, or handsome or
strong: but all can save his SOUL" she
continued. taking a different tack. She
spoke about ten minutes in all.
Good bye" she said. as she started
toward the door.
Good bye said the men. politely re-
moving their hats. Are you coming back
tomorrow?
Yes, 1 will be back tomorrow at IL
o'clock.

INTEREST TED
TRIAL OF MRS KATE MAxCY AND
PAUL MEAGHEE.

Interest in the trial of Mrs. Kate Maxey
and Paul Meagher, indicted in connection
with an alleged criminal operation, has not
abated Judging by the throng that filled
Criminal Court No. l again today. The
first hour OF the morning session was con-
sumed in argument Of the motion OF At
torney John c. Cuttings for an instruction
by the court to the jury to acquit Paul
Meagher on the ground that his action was
merely to assist the victim, who, In law,
is innocent
Mr.. Cuttings contended that Meagher be-
ing the agent of an innocent principal could
not be held guilty.
The motion to instruct the Jury was over
ruled by Justice Stafford. The court re-
marked that II the facts In the case fitted
the argument made by counsel for Meagher
the motion would have to be granted. but
that 1t remained for the jury to say II
Meagher had pot procured the abortion. by
suggesting to Claudia Parrish to take such
means of getting out Of her trouble, by
securing the services of Mrs. Maxey and
furns hing the password to allay the sus-
picion of Mrs. Maxey and giving Claudia
money to pay for the alleged criminal oper-
alton.
The defense noted an exception. At
torney Robert E. Mattingly for Mrs. Maxey
decided not to make a similar motion and
the defense began to introduce its testi-
Mary Lackey. daughter-in-law OF the
defendant Maxey. who testified to the visit
of the two girls June IS and that she heard
Claudia tell Mrs. Maxey Of her intention
to relieve her condition. The dead girl. the
witness testified, informed Mrs. Maxey
that she had already taken means to bring
about an abortion. Witness denied that
any operation was performed at the house
Al G street southwest.
On examination Mrs Lackey admit
ted that she was not in a position to see
the girls during their entire visit at the
Maxey house.
Tie only other witness offered by the de-
Tense was Clara e. Carson, daughter of
Mrs Maxey who tested that her mother
was never known by any other name. AT
the conclusion of the testimony the usual
midday recess was taken.

After recess argment on the prayers fol
instructions to the jury questions OF
law occupied the court until o'clock. when
