Every Hotel Refuses to
Accommodate Her
Unless She Does.
ACTRESS ANGRY 1
BECAUSE OF RULE
First Turned Down at Jefferson,
She Goes Back There When
Other Hotels and Apartment
Houses Tell Her Dogs
Can't Sleep in
Rooms.
olga Nethersolc, the actress, came
to town last night to llnd twit sne
could not secure accommodations In a
single hotel or apartment House nc
eauso :-hc wanted a room lor herfielt
and her little dug. Indeed, for a time
It looked as if she would have to go
to bo me boarding house, lor she posi ?
lively rct?hcd to be entertained tn any
establishment the rules of which keep
dogs out of the apartments provided
for human beings.
I Inallj Mad to Submit.
But when Miss Ncthcrsolu rcalir.ea
en hour after itrrlval at the Jctieraon
thai she cither had to part company
v. ith her pet or stay out of the h?lcis,
filie submitted to the Inevitable, ami
went to her suite in the Jo.lerapn,
while bell boya took the dog to trie
trash-room without showing it any
special or delicate attentions.
There wai no doubt about the fact
that Miss Nethersolc was angry. Shu
bhowed it when William I\ tjuulo, of
the Jefferson, Informed her that the
iul<-.- of the house were such that dogs
could not lie entertained in any of the
rooms. sin- thought it was remark
tibly strange. She said that she >nd
traveled a long distance to Klcnmond
to present a great play here which had
never been put on in any theatre tn
this country. The mahl was angry,
but the wiry-haired animal wnlch re?
posed in Miss Nethersole's arms aim
playfully bit at the bead of a tox on
urn of her many muffs, was naturally
client ? the Innocent cause of a great
theatrical wrath.
Cuuld iiot I'fmunilr lllin.
Scores of Richmond people who sat
around the hotel lobby and balconies
taw that something was wrong at the
tic k. In a very dignified manner Miss
Nethersolc was protesting, Lqually as
dignified -Mr. Qualc stood his ground".
Then Horrtcbbtly remarKcd that only
lew weeks ago Mr?, .lames Brown
Potter, of .New York, could not secure
rooms at the Jcffetson for hcrfelf and
ii>'u and that she had left without per?
suading the management to < hange
rules oven for a very wealthy guc3t.
it was suggested to the actress that
she. might call some of the other hotels
over the telephone to Inquire ahout ac?
commodation*-. This she did. but the
ftichmond, Murphy's, the Oucrrant. the
Lexington and possibly some others,
replied that they would be glad to
offer her rooms single or en suite,
with bath and parlor, provided she did
hot take the dog therein. Still she re?
fused to accept any of their generosity.
Later, Miss Nethersolc, accompanied by
her maid, drove to the Hanover Apart?
ments and stated the case brlctly, to be
turned down again. The situation luiu
now become rather desperate it was
raining and it was cold and ma?amc
was weary.
Dog Goes to Trush-lloom.
'IVe carriage Wheeled back to the
Jefferson. The crowds In the lobby i?y
tills time hud expected a scene, but
this actress, who is truly a wonderful
actress, walked quietly to the desk and
announced that she would take such
and such rooms, if the hotel people
would promise and guarantee to lake
good care of her dog elsewhere In the
house) ho she gave the animal n tew
caresses with her hand and stepped
Into the elevator.
When a reporter called her room nn
hour later, the maid explained that
Miss Nethersole was weary and that
?he did not desire to be interviewed.
One of the clerks at the Jefferson ex?
plained that this was the first, time the
dog test had over been put to all of
the hotels, and that there was cause
for gratification that all acted alike.
"Very few people come here with
dogs," he. said, "and there is naturally
a strong sentiment against turning
hotel rooms into kennels. We make
our rules because they arc necessary,
and we an: glad that our attitude is
approved by the other proprietors and
managers and by the public as well.
Wo regret that Miss Nethersolc was
caused any annoyance in this matter,
but rules arc rules."

FEMININE TOUCH
Women Not Afraid to
Scratch Ballots in Any
Good Cause.
BRIDGE WHIST
WRECKS HOMES
Dr. Maclachlan, in Strong Ser?
mon on Suffrage Question,
Asserts That Cards and
Punch Do More Harm
Than Votes for Women
Ever Will Do.
"Bridge whist parties and punch j
parties have done more to wreck homes j
arid happinesa than the votes of women
? vor did or will do," declared Rev. II.
D. C. Maclachlan last night in a ser?
mon which startled a congregation
that filled the Seventh Street Christian
Church. "If women, at least of tho
more cultured circles,'' said tho min's
tcr, "do not take more interest In polit?
ical affairs than their men folk, there
is no fear <>f their wifely duties being
interfered with materially. Standing
Ln Mho at the Bijou or the Academy is
just sis destructive of womanly charm
as voting at thj polls.
?I know I shall be told that this
question of woman's stiff rage is not a
fit theme io: the pulpit; that the bus
Inesi of the pulpit is to preach tho
gospel and nothing else. The pulpit
does exist to preach the gospel only.
The gospel has to do with human life
in Its whole extent. Its business is
with everything that uplifts the race,
whatever its label, whether It is called
artistic, literary, religious, social or
political."
Returning to his subject. "Woman in
Democracy," Mr. Maclachlan said:
" The average man and woman is not
Informed on the facts of equal suf?
frage.- of its past history and present
accomplishments It is a question of
fact, and not of theory.
"A class of arguments against wo?
man'.- suffrage we may call those, of
prejudice. Such are the arguments:
?Woman's sphere is the. home:' 'she w'll
lose her sweetness and charm If she
enter the political arena;' 'woman's
mind is different from man's and is not
deliberative enough for suffrage."
? Woman was the first infirmary, the
first public school, the first juvenile
court, the first board of public health,
tho first sanitary, inspector, the tirst
anli-saloon league, the first Red Cross
society, the first protector of the purity
and sanctity of the home. This was
long before ballots were Invented, nor
has she ceased to be such since their
invention. That these duties have be?
come socialized does not alter her duty.
It only niters Its way of working.
"For centuries man has been bung?
ling municipal and State duties and
appealing to women to help him out of
the mess he has made. He has proved
himself incompetent to solve problem
after problem, which women, with their
long inheritance of insight and moth?
erly instinct, could solve in a few years
If they only had the power. Man's
fetish is property; woman's fetish is
life. Man thrives In dirt; woman hates
it with an elemental hatred.
"One of the tirst positive arguments
that concern us as citizens of Richmond
favoring the extension of the suffrage
to -women is th'.tt our city government
needs, above all things, the feminine
touch. If left to themselves, men give
us what they cali a 'business adminis?
tration,' which too often means one in
which cleanliness, morality and civic
beauty are sacrificed to so-called pros?
perity. Woman, on the other hand,
where she has the vote, tends to elect
an administration not lese business?
like, but more human, more sensitive
to the higher values of life. She Is a
municipal housekeeper and homeniaker.
Dirty streets and jails, dirty sights
and sounds and otWr similar things are
an abomination in her sight. She is
interested in public parks and play?
grounds more than in reducing the tax
rate. Being a horn philanthropist, she
does not long tolerate the exploitation]
of the weak and defenseless for the|
sake of any phantom 'prosperity.'
"Not long r.go a leading citizen of
Richmond, a representative of 'busi?
ness.' made a passionate appeal to the
voters not to support the. proposed
bond issue for the improvements of the
school buildings of the city, on the
groiihd that the agitation was a piece
of oyerenthusiasm. Can you imagine
any woman or body of women sacri?
ficing thus the interests of tho rising
generation and the fair name of the
city?
"In those States whore women have
?suffrage the Independent vote has
largely increased. Men ate not inde- j
pendent, but partisans. Most of them j
go up to the polling booth and stamp j
their tickets with both eyes shut: and I
some of us have had to hold our nos?
trils while wo did It. Not so women.
They are not afraid to 'scratch' ln a
good cause.
"States where equal suffrage has
been in operation for any length of
time lead in legislation for tho pro?
tection of women and children. One,
of the great curses of industrialism ;
has been Its wanton sacrifice of the !
ignorant, innocent and weak to the |
Juggernaut of dividends. But such a i
state of affairs has proved Intolerable
to woman's heart nnd conscience: j
wherever she hns been given a vote
she has demanded thai legislation pay j
at least as much attention to the pro
faction of the 'little ones' as to the j
Income tax and the tariff. /
"Tt Is not true that women do not ,
really want to vote. In their heart of i
hearts, us !s proved by the extent to j
which they use the vote when they
get It.
"Man is inclined to bo generous to- ?
ward women, but ho Is not so Inclined j
to be just, There are some few mat?
ters In which the law favors the wo?
man as against the man; but in a largo ]
number of other cases the laws arc. tin- |
just to woman. In the State of Vir- |
glnia a woman only owns such clothes
ns sho purchases with her own money:
tho wife hns no right to the earnings
of her child; Iho husband Is entitled
to all of his wife's personal property,
while the wife Is.entitled to only one
half or one-third, according to circum?
stances; tho mother does not inherit
equally with tho father In the prop?
erty of a deceased child; the wife ha.s
no choice of a family home; women,
arc not represented on any of the '
hoards of control of the public schools;
none but qualified voters are admitted

[Special to The Time.--Dispatch. J
New York, January _".>.--Kran< is it.
Arnold, head'of the importing house of
F. 11. Arnold &?Co., whose daughter.
Dorothy; has been missing troth her
home. ICS Fast Seventy-ninth street,
since the afternoon of December
last, gave out for the lirst vine this
afternoon the detailed Btory of the
search that hns been made on two con?
tinents for his missinir daughK r. .lohn
S. Keith, of the law firm ?f Garvan
Armstrong, told the story for .Mr. Ar?
nold, who, it was explained, Is so
0yor.w'helmed with grief, that lie was.
not able to undertake the task,
? Mr. Keith told how the represen?
tatives of the family had gone to
Lloyd S. Grlscbm,' former ambassador
t<> Italy, and from him Jearnel how to
get In touch with George S. Grlscorn,
Jr., of I'lttshurg, a relative of his and
a friend of Miss Arnold; how trjj-; best
detectives that could be employed had
searched hospitals, retreats and oilier
places; how he had appilei to the girl
friends of the missing girl tvir assist?
ance; how theory after theory was set
aside through elimination; how three
other young men, besides Mr. Gris;om,
had been called upon for Information
as to the missing girl, and finally, a
direct statement that Mr<. Arnold, the
missing girl's mother, had left the city
two or three wcaks pgo, a woman
broken In health through worrj over
licr daughter's fate, and not because,
as has bnen hinted !n some tjuai'ters,
that she knew the whereabouts of her
daughter and had gone to her side.
Mr. Keith, in giving out the detailed
history of the case, said tiiat nothing
was withheld and that no member of
the Arnold family, th^ir lawyers, or
any of the detectives fiat had worked
and arc still working on the case, have
the remotest Idea as to a single move?
ment of Miss Arnold, since sne * left

cember 1?.
Griscom Not Guilty.
"At the very start," said Mr. Keith
to the reporter, who .net him at. the
Arnold home. "I wisn to sot straight
for once and all the connection, it
such you may call it, of G-'nrge S.
Griscom, Jr., with this unfortunate
case. Miss Dorothy wa-i acquainted i
with George S. Griscom. Jr., of I'ltts?

She knew him just as she knew many

her friends.

gatlon' very much; I think 'looked up'
might be better?this friendship ot
three other men fric.ids of Miss Ar?
nold. These fbur were the only ones
whose acquaintance with Miss Dorothy
was considered worth investigating,
and in each case the man was able to
prove his absolute innocence of any
knowledge of the rlisav/.p.uiranee of the
young woman or of her present where?
abouts if she is still alive.
?'As soon as Mi=s Arnold disap- !
pcared we immediately started an in?
vestigation. The first .thin,-; we did
was to make a inbdt thorough search
of every hospital and all other insti?
tutions to which she might have been
taken had she been Injure"! or taken
suddenly ill. She was in none of those
places, and our next move was to look
into her friehdships In the hope p.t
finding a clue how to work. We tirst
questioned two men here in New Vork,
and they were able to prove, that they
were as Ignorant as we as to the man
nor of her going away. After satis
fylng ourselves that these two men
knew nothing, we next got in to.trn
with Miss Dorothy's girl and young
women friends, of whom she had a
great many in New York. It was
from one of these- young women
friends that we learned that Mr. Gris?
com was a friend of Miss Dorothy.

"We learned that she had seen h'm

that he had sailed for Europe on No?

TAFT'S POLITICAL
FUTURE AT STAKE
Reciprocity Agreement
M ay Bring AboutNew
Alignment.
AND STILL HE IS
UNCONCERNED
He Depends Upon Popular De?
mand to Force Acceptance of
His Program on Congress.
Republican Party Finds
Itself in Very Embar?
rassing Position.
Washington, D. C, January -'J.? Em-!
barrassetf is a mild word to detino tho|
predicament in which Republican mem?
bers of Congress have round them?
selves since President Taft submitted
his program for a reduc tion in the cost'
of living through the medium of com?
mercial reciprocity with Canart v
High protectionists, confident of the
sympathy of the executive, have not
hesitated to go to the White House
with predictions that the party will he
disrupted if the program is insUtcd
upon. Insurgent Republicans; many of
whom have become unaccustomed to go
to the White Mouse at all, brtyo been
pursuing a policy of silence. \\ into
some of them ate ready to admit that
the proposed agreement is in line with
their tariff arguments in the past, they
fear to adopt it lest they bring upon
their heads the wrath of agricultural?
ists.
Tnft Vnt-onrcrucd.
President Taft appears about the
only one who Is showing no concern
about the situation. lie is said to
have met all arguments .against tau
agreement with a determination to dis?
regard mere political objections,
whether they come from Stand-Ratters
or insurgents. He believes what he
has recommended to te right and he
made t( rloar that so long as he con?
tinues so to believe, he cannot J<i
dissuaded from using every force at
his command to advance legislation LO
put tho agreement Into operation.
Tho question which has arisen natu?
rally is, "How can President Taft ex?
pect to bring about favorable action
on the agreement without having tnc
support of some faction of his own
party in Congress?" Some want to
know If Mr. Taft is depending wholly
upon the Democratic support for ?..?er
program. Those who have taken tnc'
trouble to talk with the President
about tho matter are said to have been
told that ho counted upon the people
generally, * the masses who think ho Is
trying to lower the cost of rood, to
create sentiment necessary to induce
Congress to act.
The annual dinner of the Ohio Society
is to bo held in this city to-morrow
night. r\ml President Taft is to be. one!
of the speakers. It Is expected that ho j
will take this occasion to say some?
thing about reciprocity. Political lead?
ers are wondering if he will tell what
ho intends to do if Congress fails to
act on the agreement at tho present
session. There has been a groat deal
of talk of an extra session if the reci?
procity legislation fails, and it is known
that much of this talk was brought
from tho Whita House by men who en?
joy confidential relations with the
President. .
Future nt Stake.
The preparation that is being macTe
by the President for a contest, with
Congress clearly shows that something
more powerful than mere politics must
be used to combat him. Yet the fight
is beginning to loom up as a political
issue. Some members of the Senate
and House, who would be-expected tol
take the lead for the ronoini nation
of Mr. Tryft in lft12, may now he found I
to be lukewarm in their support of him. j
If the President should deem it incum-1
bent upon him to call an extra session]
of Congress and suhmit the reciprocity
agreement to the Oemoerats of the next
.House, it is said that still others of
file Republican party may be alien?
ated.
This phase of the situation was dis?
cussed by one of the President's friends
to-day. He said that if Mr. Taft, had
given any thought to his political fu?
ture in advocating the Canadian ngree
ment, it had not been manifested in his
con versa t ions. At tho same, time this
friend declared that he believed the
President had a great deal to gain,
fvon in politics, by carrying on a light
to decrease the cost of living.
The introduction by Representative
Mc.Call, of Massachusetts, of a bill to
carry out the terms of tho Canadian
agreement Indicates that there will be
little delay in bringing such a meas?
ure from the Wnys and Means Com?
mittee A majority of tho committee
is known to favor tho agreement.
Although it may be some time before
the reciprocity question Is discussed on
tho fioor of either house, it entirely
subordinates othjr subjects in corridor
and cloakroom gossip. Nevertheless,
a busy week confronts both branches.
The composite tariff board measure,
embodying portions of tho Dnlzcll and
Longworth bills, under the special rule
brought out of the Ituler, Committee,
may be'brought up to-morrow.
Content ??f t itle*.

a third door by moans of the pass Key
ho had obtained from tho porter, and
got Into the rooms where the society
had its quarters.
