to conceal twenty detectives and an
equal number of patrolmen in door
ways and alleys.
"All set, chief" said the non-club-
man to Inspector Coleman, "but that
flask on the hip was e. mistake. I'll
carry the scars to my grave"
Five minutes later the doors Of Odd
Fellows Hall gave way with a crash
and flying wedge Of policemen scat
tered clubmen right and left as they
charged for the stage. Sergeant James
White made brief address in which
he announced that the whole outfit was
under arrest.
There were COS present, according to
the doorkeeper's count, exclusive of
Detectives Meaney and Whitticar, who
are non-clubmen, but obtained tickets
for 81 each and matched to see who
should get thrown out. Whitticar won.
The clubmen dashed frantically in
COS directions in search of an exit that
wasn't guarded. 1t was several minutes
before they were all convinced that all
the exits were blocked and by that
time Odd Fellows Hall was worse
wrecked than 1t was few weeks ago
when gypsy wedding broke up in a
fight.
Patrol wagons clattered through the
streets for more than an hour convey
ing the 60S to the Clinton Street sta
ton or as close to it as they could get.
All of them were charged with disor-
derby conduct, eventually. Sam Per-
less, proprietor of the hall, was
charged with permitting an Indecent
performance to be staged there and
five women and two men were charged
with participating in it.

Probably came from a rough-neck dis

susceptibility to the liquor which he
consumed from flask that he was not
one of the Grand Street regulars.
1t was plain to all that he had no
ear for music and no eye for dancing.
Some of the most side-splitting points
in the songs were lost to every one
back of the fourth row because Of his
boisterous attempts to sing. Almost
an entire file of spectators missed the
entrance of the dancers and had to
wait until they had pranced to one side
of the stage before discovering that
their apparel consisted of considerable
jcwelry and some invisible hairpins.
1t was more than the Majestic Social
Club could stand. Several Of the club
men arose with one accord and treated
the offending interloper to what is
known in club circles as the buns
rush. The non-clubman lay just where
he landed until the election committee
had retired.
Then he painstakingly extracted
from his hip pocket the Jagged frag-
ments of what once had been q flask,

Eleanor Grove, typist for the B. r
T., was shot accidentally by John J
McFeeley, assistant supervisor of reve-
nue. inspectors for the company, yes
terday, in the B. r. T. Offices at Mon
tague and Clinton streets, Brooklyn.
She was taken to Brooklyn Hospital
The bullet entered her left side, caus-
ing serious wound. Although Miss
Grove said that the shooting was an
accident and Mr.. McFeeley was able to
explain how It happened, he was locked
up on charge of felonious assault.
One Of the revolvers used by revenue
inspectors had been returned to him
yesterday morning for repairs.
Comparing the defective weapon with
his own, he found that the models diff
fered somewhat and got third revol-
yer from the desk of an inspector,
which was the exact duplicate of the
one sent back from the repair shop. He
removed the cartridges from this
weapon and was about to do the same
with his own when the telephone bell
rang.
Miss Grove was at filing cabinet
and Mr.. McFeeley went to the tele-
phone, leaving the three revolvers on
his desk, two Of them unloaded and
his own with the cartridges still in it.
Returning from the Telephone he
picked up weapon which he thought
was the one he had removed from his
companions desk, intending to make
certain that he had removed all its
cartridges.
1t was his own revolver that he
picked up, however, fully loaded, and
as ne made perfunctory examination
OF 1t the hammer fell, discharging a
bullet which entered the side of che
young woman at the filing cabinet.
Miss Grove is the daughter of

Widow Fights
For Cash Ryan
Left Actress
Says Husband, Joseph j.,
Son of Thomas Fortune,
Was Unduly Influenced
TO Give Her Only 500
Made Separation Pact
Two Children Bequeathed
$4,000 Each; Estate Is
Valued Mt 100000.

Mrs. Mamie Morse Ryan. widow of
Joseph J. Ryan, son Of Thomas Fortune
Ryan, took the first step in the Sur
rogates' Court yesterday toward con-
test of her husbands will, in which
he left her 800 with the explanation
that he already had made ample provi-
sion for his wife and left the bulk Of
his estate to Miss Dorothy Lucille
Whiteford, an actress, Of 172 West
Seventy-ninth Street.
Mrs. Ryan and Richard Fl. Clarke,
her attorney, as trustees under sep
aration agreement made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Ryan In 1915, applied to the court
to be appointed temporary administra-
tors Of Mr.. Ryah's estate. Mrs. Ryan
announced her intention to contest the
will of her husband, who, she alleged,
did not possess testamentary capacity
when he executed the document and
also, she said, was unduly Influenced
in the execution of it. Mrs. Ryan
placed a value of 100000 on her hus-
bands estate.
Mrs. Ryan's home is at Valley View
Farm, Washington, where her two
children, Eleanor M. Ryan and Joseph
j Ryan, live with her. To each of
his children Mr.. Ryan bequeathed
$4,000. He made some minor requests
and left to Miss Whiteford the residue
of his estate besides specific bequest
of $4,000.

letters of administration Mrs. Ryan
filed q copy of the separation agree
ment existing between her and her
husband, which explained that it was
made sowing to divers disputes and un-
happy differences which have arisen
and now exist" Under its provisions
Mr.. Ryan agreed to pay $3.50 a month
for the support of his wife and chill
dren, and also agreed to pay any
medical expenses made necessary by
the sickness of his children. He fur
Their agreed to pay for their education.
The agreement referred to threatened
litigation at the time it was made,
Mrs. Ryan said that she did not re-
llnquish her dover rights in the estate
of Mr.. Ryan when she signed the agree
ment or waive any other claims she
might have.
She said it is absolutely necessary
that the payments for the support Of
herself and her children continue. for
if they failed to receive it thew would
be in actual want.

Heavy Snow Stops
Attempts to Run
Strike-Bound Cars
Troy and Albany Fear Entire
Lack of Transportation as
Efforts of Non-Union Men
Fail and Jitneys Suspend

ALBANY, Feb. 11-Strikebreakers
made futile efforts to pilot streetcars
along tracks buried beneath the heav-
lest snow of the year in both Albany
and Troy. Tonight, with the snow still
falling, both cities feared an entire
lack Of transportation tomorrow. Jit-
ney buses in large numbers were
abandoning the streets where they
have f1ourished since 1900 employees of
the United Traction Company went on
strike two weeks ago.
Meanwhile union labor in Albany was
drafting program to extend relief to
the traction employees who quit work
rather than accept 20 per cent reduc-
ton in pay. The company's refusal to
arbltrate with its men was character
lied as "the opening gun in scheme
to smash trade unions in the United
States" by John U. Hart, president of
the Albany Typographical Union.
Other labor leaders, he said, shared
this view.
Tho executive committee of the AL
bany Typographical Union requested
the Central Federation Of Labor to as
sess all union workmen In the city as
means of creating an immediate re-
lief fund for the strikers.
Possible efforts to bring about arbi-
tration Of the dispute between the
company and the strikers were dis

Mayor Fleming Of Troy and two state
mediators.
For. eight hours to-day q crew Of
strikebreakers tried to break a pas

moved less than mile. twice skidding
off the tracks. At Troy similar at
tempts failed.
State troopers kept strike sympathiz-
ers calm in both cities. Noisy jeers
were flung at the strike breakers when
the cars left the rails and few snow
balls were thrown, but there wexe no
disorders.

Wife 1ntolerably Cruel,
He Is Granted Divorce
Got Laughing Jag" Scratched
His Face, Threw Supper and
Clock at Him. Husband Saws

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 11.-Wil-
liam A. Howesberger, who brought suit
for divorce here on the ground of de-
sertion, got one to-day on the ground of
intolerable cruelty.
He testified that the eight months
that his wife spent In his home before
she left him in 1908 made such an i'm
preston upon him that they persisted
to this day in his dreams. His worst
nightmare, he said, was to dream that
his wife had returned.
Her favorite relaxation, he said, was
a Laughing Jag" obtained with his
best liquor, and she never could laugh
heartily unless she scratched his face
first. She smashed his best pipe, he
said, leaving the amber stem between
his teeth; she threw his supper at him
to prove it was hot, and when his alarm
clock went off at a. m. she threw
that at him, too. His only periods of
physical peace, he said, were the eve
nings his wife spent away from home,
and then he was upset mentally, be-
cause he knew she was at q cabaret or
dance with another man.
