 Lawrence. Mass, Feb. 19.-Three women strike pickets were arrested shortly after six o'clock, today, thrown without ceremony into a waiting pa troI wagon, and hurried off to police headquarters after 200 policemen, 15 cava1rynen and a detachment of mill tia infantry numbering go or more had pulled and nauled a CT owd of 200 women strikers who were station cd along Lawrence street near the Common, begging mill workers mot to go back and scab.
 Taken imm ediately into court, the cases of the three women were heard immediately following the clearing up of the usual Monday morning docket
 Jennie Radsiarlowicz, charged with intinidating Humphrey Kennedy, was fined $10. Her counsel Attorney George E. Roewer, Jr., appealed and the woman furnished s20O ball. Judge Mahoney suspended sentence on the other two, Annie Rogers and An toninine Kobers, against whom had been made the specific charge of mo- 1eSting soldiers.
 In disposing of these cases thus, Judge MahOney said:
 s.These people must not break the law. It is apparent they are i'll ad- vised. However, they must learn to respect the laws"

The women sat in the dock with the morning riff raff and with Joseph Ettor and Arturo Giovan- niti, the strike leaders, whose hear ing on charges of being accessories to the murder of Anna Lop1zzo was resumed. late today.
 Mill owners. today, declared they had made big gains of workmen and there was apparent ground for the claim, for more operatives went into the mills, today. than at any day since the strike began six weeks ago The owners. efated over this Situa- they will remain firm and grant no concessions.
 Evidently a spy in the strikers camps had informed the authorities that the women were going to do picket duty today. The plan had been kept secret, only those women who had been asked to picket being told. They were to station themselves along Lawrence street and the streets lead ing from the residence section into the mill district before 5 o'clock.
 When they got there they found POO b1uecoats, armed with long night sticks. platoon of 15 cavalrymen armed with full war regalfa, inc1ud- ing sabres. which were drawn from scab bards, and detachment of in- fantrymen armed with wagon spokes and side arms.
 At the High School Corner,' at the head of Lawrence street, 25 or more women pickets punched to ap- peal to six or eight men and women on their way to work. Hardly before a word was said, the bluecoats, swing ing their sticks, rushed the crowd. Every other woman picket in sight rushed to the scene and then the in- fantrymen took a hand. Without re- gard to sex, policemen and soldiers jabbed their sticks right and left. One woman, who was hurried home by friends, is said to have been badly injured internally by a vicious thrust of one of the heavy wagon spokes in her side

THE JOKE WAS
 ON MIR. DUCAS
Saloon Proprietor Passes Roaming Beaker Through
 Door to Waiting Officers.

A raid incident so comicaI that ev- eryone concerned in it had to burst out laughing despite the seriousness Of the situation, was recounted in the city court this morning and even Judge Foster and the lawyers in the court could not forbear smiling. It occurred yesterday afternoon when Sergeant Blansfeld and Liquor Of- ficer Wagner descended upon the sa- loon of Andrew Dugas at 206 Church street.
 The officers had received tips that Dugas was doing a. rushing busi- ness on Sunday. The two representa- tives of the law slipped quietly into the back way of the saloon, finding the door open, and following a hali- way leading to the bar.
 Here the police officers bounced on two individuals waiting to get their beer Not a word was said by any body. The frequenters stared at the police and the officers edged quietly up to the door leading to the bar. Dugas suddenly thrust his arms out the door, with q foaming beaker in each hand, which he passed to the two policemen, without looking at them.
 The officers gravely took the liquor and then Dugas glanced up.
 For minute he was dazed and then the humor of the situation over come him.
 ''Ha ha ha," he laughed, that's a good one on me!' The others thought so too and after a moment of inno- cent hilarity, the officers regretfulIy arrested the gathering and took them all to headquarters.
 In the city court this morning Du- gas entered a plea of guilty through his counsel, Attorney E. c. Hull. Liquor Prosecutor Arthur Comley and Attorney Hull agreed on the facts. which were related to the court and all three had q smile
 Then Judge Foster fined Dugas $1o0

.BRANDT'S SENTENCE MAY BE SET ASIDE
 BEFORE NIGHTFALL
Decision of Justice Gerard
 Late This Afternoon Is Expected to Stop Probe Ordered by Governor Dix.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSs-)
 New York, Feb. 1e-F'irm in the be- lief that Justice James W. Gerard would, late today. hand down a deci. sion setting aside the sentence of 30 years imposed on his client, FouIke E. Brandt, former Schiff valet, Mirabeau L. Towne. Brandts lawyer, today, pre- pared to stop the investiga ton order ed by Governor Dix.
 Towne charged that this inquiry, which Special Commissioner Hand was to begin here, tomorrow morning. was flor political effect" only. He said that, if Justice Gerard sets aside the original sentence before the Hand in- vestigation started, he will Immedi- ately try to enjoin the Governors re- port from proceeding.
 Justice Gerard was busy, today. preparing his decision It was believ- ed that he would hold that Judge Rosalsky did not have jurisdiction when he passed the sentence on Brandt and that the court erred in ac- cepting a plea of guilty to first de- gree burglary as evidence before Rosalsky positively showed that such crime had not been committed.
 The effect of the decision was ex- pected to be the remanding of Brandt to the Tombs for trial, as though he had never appeared in court, although he has served five yesIrs in prison It was also believed that later on Dis trict Attorney Whitman would appear in court and move to have the bur- glary indictment and the one still held over Brandt of assault, quashed, on the ground that the former valet had already been punished enough. It was generally accepted that Judge RosaIsky action in setting aside the sentence is null and void as he had not the power to reopen a. case that once had passed from his hands
 HhA inv finT1 nj ff0a conspiracy charge was continued, tU day It was confirmed that the at tempt of Attorney Cans and Mortimer L. Schiff, to go over the head of the district attorney by appealing direct Iy to the jury for permission to ap- pear and tell their stories had failed,

NEW Street WILL

Mayor Plans Opening of Fif-

Under Broad.

Preliminary estimates for the cost Of
extension Of Fifteenth Street north
wardly 10 open up new manufactur-
ing nd shipping centre north of BrCac
Street, in the railway bottom border
ing on Shockoe Creek, show that the
work viii cost s135000. of which
$4,000 will be for actual construc
ton and $4,000 for property and rights
of way. II IS believed that because
Of enhancement Of values to abUtting
property and the opening up Of Gle
territory TO building, some OF the
property needed will be dedicated to
the city without cost While the total
looks large, it is pointed out that IL
is not greater than the total cost OF
the great new highway to Fulton.
New Lester street. which will be COM
pleted next spring. and which has been
financed by piecemeal appropriations
from time to time. The cost there
for the land has exceeded the cost of
construction. but the city will have
valuable land, which can later be sold
Te!mbursing a large portion of the out
lay.
The Mayors plan proposes extension
Of Fifteenth street northward from
Franklin. tunneIing under Broad
Street. and continuing through city
property TO Marshall at the Incinera-
tor: thence north along the straight
ened line Of Shockoe Creek. with such
connections as will make a through
roadway for access to many existing
business houses which have been
erected in the great railway hollow and
providing suitable sites for additional
enterprises OF the same character.
