POLICE CALLED
IN WELFARE
ROW
Ousted President Refuses to
Turn Over Keys to Stoner
Faction Upon Demand
BY JOSEPHINE TIGHE.'

.
Mrs. Nanette B. Paul, lawyer
eminent feminist, and worldwide
authority on parliamentary ruling
was yesterday locked up for forty
minutes when she attempted en-
trance into the Woman's Welfare
Association at 1922 Eleventh street
Her Jug was the semi glass ver
tibule at the institution and her
taller was J. J. O'Brien, attorney
for Mrs. Wesley Martin Stoner II
the contested presidency Of the
welfare organization.
On Friday, Justice Hoehling de
clared Mrs. Stoner, and not Mrs
Mcpherson Crichton, to be the
only, one, genuine, and Simon-pure
president of the organization, and
on Saturday, Mr.. O'Brien called
upon Doctor Crichton for the keys
of the welfare home. Doctor erich
ton, speaking for Mrs. Crichton
fatty refused to turn over keys
or anything else to the enemy
whereupon the Stoner forces, rely
ing on the Hoehling decision, took
forcible possession OF the disputed
premises.
Yesterday, while Mrs. Stoner ant
Mr.. O'Brien were taking an in
ventory of the laboratory equip
ment, Mrs. Paul opened the vesti
bule door Of the building and al
the inner door was met by Mrs
Stoner who asked what the ladJ
lawyers desires amounted to.
II am the secretary of the
Woman's Welfare Association and
have come to attend a meeting
Of the board OF management which
occurs here this morning" replied
Mrs. Paul.
Not the Secretary.
Under Justice Hoehling's decis
ion you are not the secretary Of
the board, you cannot come in here
and there will be no meeting here
today, or any other day, unless
called by me- said Mrs. Stoner
But I will come in and will
have the board meeting here today,
insisted Mrs. Paul. At this juno.
ture, Mrs. Stoner called out Attor'
ney O'Brien who firmly explained
that Mrs. Mcpherson Crichton and
her board were non-existent, and
ended by asking Mrs. Paul 20 leave
Still standing in the vestiblile Mrs
Paul held her ground.
UNLESS you 70, madam, shall
lock the outer door to keep the
other members Of your board from
entering the vestibule. and will be
forced to lock the inner door to
keep from entering the clinic
room" said Mr.. O'Brien.
You wouldn't dare do such an
ungentlemanly thing retorted the
authority on parliamentary usage.
And then, just to show that he
was not too much Of a gentleman,
not afraid of any woman lawyer
anyhow, and meant to retain pos.

and securely locked both doors.

CONGREGATION APPLAUDS
 AS CHILD ExPOUNDS BIBLE

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 13.-A 12-year old girl, substituting for her pastor. father in the pulpit, drew such large crowds to a small house of worship here one Sunday recently that po- lice were necessary to keep the over flow crowd from interrupting her ser mon.
 Speaking from familiar texts, Mar ion Crawford the young daughter of the Rev. R. H. Crawford, pastor of the Minnehaha Congregational church told those who crowded every nook in the little place of the value of the Bible to the youth of today. She preached for an hour and then was acclaimed by her listeners.
 Marions occupation of the pulpit followed that of her 15ryear old broth CT Stuart the Sunday previous. The children receive their incentive from their father who holds the theory that preachers cannot start too young.
 Children often know the needs of other children far better than grown folk can," the father declared. 1f the country is to improve and crime to stop, the children must take an ac- tive part in church life"
