Woman Leads Attack
On White House Pickets

curiosity seekers appeared early this
morning 10 see what would happen if
the sufragists made good their prom
ise to display again the appeal TO
the Russians" which was the object Of
Yesterdays attack. When this banner
was again brought forth 1t was prompt
" torn from it's frame by a small
group OF men. However, there was
little disturbance created by this pre-
liminary to the real suffrage fracas of
the day.
Shortly after noon, Mrs. Richardson
entered into an argument with Mrs.
Catherine Heacox, of Washington. at
the east gate of the White House. With
the crowd massed closely about them.
the two women exchanged some warm
conversation, then, with a suddenness
that took the small squad Of policemen
on duty completely by surprise, Mrs
Richardson grabbed the banner which
Mrs. Heacox held and the general
melse commenced Several men in the
crowd grabbed for the yellow streamer,
but Mrs. Richardson was not to be
denied her booty. Holding fast to it,
she snapped the staff under her feet
and then trampled tho suffrage emblem
In the ground.
By this time Mrs. Richardson had
reached a rnilitancy that required fur
ther conquest. She then tackled Miss
Hazel Hunkins, who, during the attack
on her fellow picket, had been gamely
holding her ground chiding and bluffing
the men who crowded around her.
Gliding Invites Attack
The person from Missouri could
neither be chided nor bufFed, however.
She sprang at Miss Hunkins, who had
attempted TO get out OF reach by climb
ing on the stone coping of the White
House fence. and grasping the suffrage
emblem in one hand, she choked the
Montana suffragist with the other un-
( til she released the banner. The sec
ond trophy shared the fate Of the first,
after which Mrs. Richardson set out
for the west gate, where Miss Lillian
Crane and Mrs. Graham were on duty.
The two pickets, foreseelng trouble
ahead, tried TO save their banners by
tossing them over the White House
! fence, but the crowd was too quick for
them. without waiting for Mrs. Rich
ardson's leadership, dozen pairs OF
hands grabbed the emblems and soon
i they, too, we're reduced 70 tAtters.
Meantime Mrs. Richardson. still on the
war path. started to mix it" with an
other suffragst in the crowd. AT this
point, Captain Sullivan, who had charge
/ of the meagre police detail, took the
lady from Missouri into custody and
marched her off to police headquarters
under care Of police matron.
