SHADowED MRS. EVANS
When Wealthy Woman Acted as Picket
at Lawrence.

Lawrence, Mass, April IA. - Samuel
Bramhall, chairman of the committee in
charge of the textile strike here, was ar
rested to-day during a demonstration in
the mill district, charged with interfer-
ing with police officer.
Members of the state board OF concili-
alton and arbitration were to arrive this
forenoon to begin an investigation, and
the strikers made every effort to get a
large number of pickets out as an indi-
cation of their strength. As a result,
several thousand men and women walked
up and down the streets displaying cards
with the legend AS 54,7 indicative Of
their demand for "a hours pay for AS
hours work.
Mrs. Glendower Evans of Brookline, a
stockholder in the Arlington mills, who
had previously shown her sympathy with
the movement, mingled with the pickets
to-day, wearing the strike card on her
sleeve A policeman in plain clothes kept
close behind her as she walked up and
down the sidewalk, and it is charged
that Bramhall questioned his right to fol-
low her.
To-day marked the opening of the lth
week Of the strike. With one exception,
all of the mills against which it is di-
rected are operating, although with re-
duced forces in some departments.

WET GOODS TABOO IN GEORGIA.
Cannot Keep Possession of Liquors, Ever
If Acquired Before Dry Law.

Washington, April l4-In disposing
of proceedings involving an interpreta.
tion of the Georgia state prohibition
law, the supreme court, in effect, to-day
held that possession of intoxicating liz.
uors in excess of the amount permitted
by statute, even though lawfully ac-
quired before its enactment, is prohibited
under the law.
The opinion was rendered in appeals
growing out of the conviction Of Andrew
d. Barbour, charged with having more
than one gallon Of wine, the amount per.
mitted by law, in his possession. In re-
jecting Barbour's plea that the wine was
purchased prior to enactment of the law,
the state supreme court declared that
neither ownership property rights nor
possession would be permitted to hinder
the operation of laws enacted fer the
public welfare.

LUMP SUM REPARATIoN.
Said to Have Been Decided Upon After
Lloyd Georges Appeal

Paris, April l4.-Alarmed by the re-
suits of the byc-election at Hull last
week, Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain, according to the Echo de Paris,
has persuaded the council of four to re-
vamp completely the financial plan to be
incorporated in the treaty of peace. In
stead of payment of 5000, 900 francs
on account and annual payments to be
fixed by q commission, it has been de-
cided to fix at once the amount which
Germany will have to pay within 50
years. This amount is kept secret, but
the newspaper indicates that figure OF
250,000, 100000 francs has been agreed
upon, which includes all war damages as
well as the cost of pensions.
Fixing the total sum will have the
merit of facilitating treasury operations
and the carrying out of~mutual meas
ures for assistance between the allies
