Sunken Scow, Menace TO
Navigation, is Raised.
WORK DONE BY DREOGE
Mud Taken Out of Pockets in Sunken
Craft and Wooden hull Floats TO
surface-Brought to Shipyard for
Repairs.

After wrecking tugs and derricKs
had worked on it in vain for severai
days. the mud scow of the Coast
wise Dredging Company, OF Norfoik'
which was rammed and sunk on Sew
alrs Point by one OF the Old Domin-
ion steamers last week, was raised
yesterday by the Coastwise dredge at
work at the shipyard. The scow
was towed here yesterday afternoon
by the tugs Triton and Reliance and
VIII be dccked at the shipyard for re-
pairs.
The scow proved serious menace
TO navigation in the Roads and several
vessels ran into her after she went
down. The British steamer Bloom
field collided with the submerged
wreck late last week and stove a hole
in her bow. She IS now repairing at
the shpyard.
Soon after the scOw went down the
Merritt-Chapman Wrecking Company
undertook to raise the craft. but owing
to the fact that the Scow was filled
with mud, the task proved very dif-
ficult one The scow was lying in
thirty-six feet of water and was d.
rectly in the path of navigation, she
having been engaged in the dredging
of the channel in the Roads when the
collision occurred.
The officials of the Coastwise CON-
pany decided Monday 10 send the
dredge at work at the shipyard to the
scene to raise the craft The dredge
went over at o'clock yesterday
morning, dug the mud out of the
scow. transferring it to another barge
and the sunken craft soon fioated It
self. The dredge returned here yes
terday afternoon and continued the
work of dredging around the shipyard
piers Captain Edward Heady and
mis- crew on the dredge are naturally
very proud of their accomplishment

WILL GOE ABROAD.
Leader of Equal Suffrage Society on
Verge of Breakdown.

New York, March 10.-Mrs. o. Fl. p.
Belmont, on the verge of physical
breakdown from overwork In the cause
of suffrage, will leave this city early
in April for England, where she will
join her daughter, the Duchess of
Marlborough. and go to some quiet
place for absolute rest. Only a sudden
change of plans prevented her sailing
last Wednesday on the Mauretania.
Mrs. Belmont herself made this an
nouncement today, and it was imme-
diately followed by a statement from
one of the members of Mrs. Belmont's
political equality association to the eff
feet that one of the causes of Mrs.
Belmont'S breakdown was her belief
that Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, presi-
dent of the Equal Franchise society,
was trying to stir up trouble for her.
The woman who gave out the state
ment, criticising Mrs. Mackay further,
said:
"Mrs. Mackay is too strenuous in
her work, although 1 admit her organ
ization has done much for the suffrage
cause. Her actions seem to US to show
that she is extremely jealous of Mrs.
Belmont.
"Mrs. Mackay is looked upon as a
child by Mrs. Belmont. and her actions
during the last ten days prove that she
is just baby.
MRS. Belmont has been for six
months the hardest working person in
New York CITY, but she had an iron
constitution and stood the strain I'M
til the startling criticisms, which we
believe are traceable to Mrs. Mackay's
headquarters, began &c appear.
''Mrs. Belmont laughed at them at
first, but they became too much for
any person to endure and her pIysi-
clan advised her to go abroad for a
long rest"

QUICK FIRE DRILL.
Took High School Pupils Only 216
Minutes for Exit

In a fire drill at the manual training
building of the Topeka high school this
morning, 500 students left the big four
story building in perfect order in the
short time of 21s minutes.
Chief Wilmarth of the fire depart
ment had sent letter to Superintend-
ent Whittemore of the Topeka schools
reminding him that the state law re-
quired that fire drill be held in every
school building in the city once
month.
AS a test Of the efficiency of the
students at the high school, the super
intendent and the chief arranged to turn
in an alarm at the manual training
building at $3.50 this morning The
students were not warned of the alarm
and they fell in fire drill line thinking
that there was a fire in the building
and their lives were in danger.
According to Chief Wilmarth there
was very little nervousness, no disor-
der and the whole line of 500 students
left the building in two and half min
utes. This is an excellent showing Of
the effects of the drill in the Topeka
schools.

The demurrer was overruled as to

marks made by Kirkpatrick to J. ].

Defense Has Turn.
Counsel for the defense then began
the introduction of evidence which
would tend to show that Mr.. kirkpat-
rick had had numerous conversations
with others which would lead him to
believe what he said about DR.. Warner
to be true. They have witnesses and
dispositions to show questionable con-
duct of the two in various places.
The turn came as a surprise to the
plaintiffs counsel who Immediately OBJ
jected on the ground that such evil
dence had never been mentioned IN
their answer to the plaintiffs petition.
Judge Dana held that the attorneys
could not introduce such evidence as
had not been indicated in their answer.
They then asked time to amend their
answer. They have already filed three
answers to the petition and had in none
set out what they were setting about
to show.
Besides asking time to file an amend
ed answer, the defending attorneys de-
manded that the plaintiffs counsel
state what charge they would stand on,
libel, or SANDER.
Will Sue for Libel.
without a moments hesitation and
ignoring his associates Juggling at his
coat tails, Capt Waters, who is con-
Quoting the case, said, Libel and
may have torn rent in his strong
full sails. The only libel shown in the
evidence seems to be the photographs
and copies. The SANDER comprises all
the conversations of Kirkpatrick in ex-
planning the meaning of those two
names on the hotel register. But more
than that an associate is now walking
the floor cursing the luck and saying,
Never in a hundred years has an at
torney been required to specify which
of the two charges he would stand on.
The Judge would not have asked it,
After the two hours of argument this
morning fraught with explosions and
cross firing across the attorneys table,
Judge Dana granted the defending at
torneys three hours time in which 10
prepare an amended answer.
Many women of the crowd which has
filled the court room since the begin
ming of the trial brought their lunches
today and ate them in the court room
during the noon intermiSSiOn.
Attorneys for the defense this after
noon asked for more time in which to
file their answer to plaintiffs demurrer
and further consideration of this case
was postponed until tomorrow morn
ing.

struck a stumbling block that is liable

the bridge before the opening of sum-
mer.

pie of North Topeka who are directly
affected by the extension of the bridge,
have girded up their loins and have
