URMY IS REUSED.
Police Judge Threatened to Put Chief
Eaton in Jail.

IF you give me any more of your
lip, will have you locked up in jail"
said Judge Urmy OF the city police
court today to r. w. Eaton, chief of
police, as the latter walked up and
down in front of the judges bench
during court this morning, setting
forth his objections to Judge Urmy's
decision in the George Dupree case
yesterday.
The trouble started when Chief Eat
on entered the court room and declar-
ed that there was enough evidence in
the Dupree case to have convicted
him on one hundred counts instead of
only five of the eleven counts charged.
The judge took exceptions to this crit
icism OF his court and the manner in
which 1t was made and called the
chief down. The latter came back
again and one word led to another I'M
til Judge Urmy got mad clear through
and threatened to have the chief
locked up IL he did not either keep
still or leave the court room. The
chief left the room.
Said Judge Urmy today: 81 was
elected to the office of police judge
and propose to fill that office without
interference or bulldozing from any
one. I have always tried to do my
duty as 1 saw 1t and I make my de-
cisions on the evidence in each case

the wishes OF anybody, chief of police

"Ah. it is a shame for you, my dear

After Mrs. Nation had been hurried
through the barroom at the rear of
the Pompeiian room and patrons saw
that she was safely in the hands of a
detective, there was a rush to get a
glimpse of her. She was in a side
room. The bar room was filled. A
porter opened a door and the Kansas
smasher saw the crowd.

she pleaded. Think of your wives

Chicago, July 15.-With her faithful
Ratchet carefully concealed in the folds
of her black skirt. and declaring that
she was going to "clean out the dark
est spot in the house" Carrie Nation
the Kansas saloon smasher, invaded the
fashionable Pompeiian room OF the Au-
ditorium Annex hotel.
Standing in the center of the floor,
with her right hand raised above her
head, she delivered a loud denunciation
of the patrons of the place. She up
braided the men whom she saw at Ia
bles with women of fashion and accus-
ed them of being the cause of the wo-
mems downfall" She grilled the man
agement in strong terms. declaring that
they were conducting a saloon under
the guise of a hotel. She told the wo-
men in decollete gowns to wear more
clothes.
Quick work on the part of house de-
tectives prevented her doing violence.
Ratchet Is Kept from Work.
In the midst of her heated speech she
made sudden move toward table,
as though she would overturn it. de-
tective was at her side in a moment
and she was elected from the room.
1t was fortunate that she was re-
strained when she was, for before go
ing into the room she had made grave
threats. She said she intended to ov-
erturn the furniture and break the
more. Her main object however. she
explained, was to warn the women OF
the awful lives they were leading.
Detective James Celia grasped the old
woman by the arm as she was deliver
ing a scathing rebuke to a woman. He
gently walked her toward the barroom,
near where the back elevator of the
hotel is located Mrs. Nation continued
to talk. When she saw the glasses on
the bar ahead of her her eyes cleaned.

the detective prevented her making
the move. Aided by porter he showed
her through a back door and into the
elevator entrance.
She Returns to Fray.
Upon reaching the nineteenth f1oor,in
which her room was located, Mrs. Ma
ton rushed to another elevator ana
descended to the main floor. She was
prevented from again entering the
Pompeiian room.
When Mrs. Nation took quarters at
the Annex she was unaware that there
was a bar-room in connection with 1t.
A fanatic slipped to her room and told
her Of the Pompeiian room.

AS Many More Badly Injured i'm Mine
Explosion.

Pittsville, Pa, July 15-One of the
worst mine accidents that has ever
visited the lower section of the anthra-
cite coal fields occurred this afternoon
at Williamstown in which IL men are
reported killed, and as many more so
badly injured, that several of them
may die. The accident is believed to
have been caused by an explosion Of
gas, but those who have thus far been
taken out have not been able to give
connected story of the accident. Six
bodies have been removed and six men
are still in the mine.
The Known Dead:
James Bowman.
Charles Rickert.
John White.
- Berry.
- Stackum.
Arthur Hawk.
Ten others were removed from the
mine badly burned and torn by the
force of the explosion and it is feared
several of them will die. It is with
great difficulty that rescuing parties
could go down into the shaft and there
Is little hope of the six men still in the
mine being rescued alive.
The Williamstown colliery is oper-
ated by the Susquehanna Coal COM
pany and the employees who were in
cans. They were at work in what is
known as shaft No. l. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that the rescuers
could finally gain entrance to the
burning and gas filled shaft. Two of
the first eight men brought up were
revived.
Business places at Willia<hstown
were promptly closed and the resi-
dents of the town hurried to the coll
liery, a mile distant, where they gath
cred near the mouth of the shaft.
There were scenes of the widest con-
fusion as women and children gather
ed about screaming and crying, and
as each body was brought to the sur
face there was rush b ythe crowd to
ascertain the identity OF the one re-
covered and whether he was alive or
dead.
The store house at the colliery was
converted into a morgue. hTe injured
were removed to the company offices
and there given treatment.
The district mine inspector in his
last annual report pronounced tho
mine to be gaseous.
