ACTRESS REsIsTs EVICTION
Amelia Bingham Sued for Stock
Market Losses.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE mis-
fortunes which have crowded upon
Amelia Bingham, actress, since the
death OF husband, Lloyd Bingham,
while he was a member Of the Ford
peace expedition, reached their climax
yesterday, when a movement was
started to force her to vacate her
home, 10 Riverside Drive.
Thomas NJ. Mckee and William H.
Schubert, through Henry Keale, filed
with Supreme Court Justice Cohalan
an application for an order requiring
her to get out of her home at once.
Justice Cohalan Is considering the ap-
plication.
During Mr.. Bingham's life he man.
aged most of the actress financial
affairs. Since his death she has been
thrown upon her own resources and
has been specializing heavily in the
stock market. She kept an account
With Thomas NJ. Mckee & Co, and
deposited as collateral a mortgage for
$25, 900 on her home. .f
Some time ago, the brokers noti-
fed Mrs. Bingham that her margin
had been exhausted, ana that they
were about to foreclose on the mort.
gage. Mrs. Bingham has another mort.
gage for $4,000 on her residence.
The suit was brought in the supreme
court, and Henry Keale was appointed
receiver of rents.
Mr.. Keale then called upon the
actress and informed her that a rent
of $3.50 a month had been fixed upon
her house and that she would be
obliged to pay it IL she continued To
reside there. This Mrs. Bingham re.
fused to do.
'Tf you are going to evict me-" she
said, you will have to do II by force.
Otherwise l will not be elected"
The mansion over which the legal
squabble is now being thrashed out
is well known to jewellers and bus
| riders on Riverside Drive. 1t stands
almost directly opposite Mount Tom,
and its front is decorated with life
size statues and busts OF Shakespeare
and his characters.

many suffragists who, while not will
ing to stand in the line, are still yearn'
ing to serve. We think mid-morning
and mid-afternoon coffee will come
in quite handily, especially as a bliz
gard is predicted for tomorrow.
Policemen have given us advice rs
to how to keep our feet warm. We
are planning to manufacture little
wooden blocks, such as the traffic
men use to stand on. Other friends
suggest miniature stoves. But we de-
not wish to appear too feminine.
One gentleman stopped and told Us
in a somewhat peevish tone. that If
we could stand II, he thought the
President could. We assured him
that we could, but were not so sure
about the President.
One Girl Faints.
This is no ordinary picket. There
will be more women on the job every
day. There will be no gaps III the
rank. We are going to surround the
White House with q purple, white
and gold Gordon. In short, we are
going to take the Presidents advice
and concert public opinion. There
are no hangers-back in our ranks.
We stick. A girl In the picket this
morning finally crumpled up in a
dead faint. We picked her up and
carried her back to headquarters.
When she came to she said, That was
the sflliest thing we ever did,'-ate
some lunch and went back on the
picket line, to stand another three
hours. The President has to follow
public opinion. We are out at his
front gate creating II, and well be
there a long time.

Not their regulations. they are above

Under the ringlets of Liberty's

So tests are being made with new
