the topo the hill, where the broad ex-
panse of avenues swept toward the east
front of the capitol. Mounted police
ingress toward the capitol Impossible.
The squat of police in front of the army
went straight aht ad. 1t was a ruse to
Carry the procession past the capitol.
Half block up Il street Browne halted
the column aud dismounted. He
turned over his horse tn an attendant.
Then he went to Coxey's carriage and
spoke to the general. Coxey kissed his
wife, sprany from the carriage and made
his way toward the entrance of the cap
itol. Browne follow ed, bearing ban
ner. The rank and file of the army
stood in the street. The officers spurred
the crowd after Coxey and Browne. B
street was impassable. Coxey sprang
to the stone paving on the east front of
the capitol grounds, and with bound
was inside the fence amid tangle of
shrubbery. Browne followed.
Coxey succeeded in gaining the tenth
step of the capitol, though he was fol-
lowed by officers. The great crowd rec
ognized him, and shout went up from
every corner.
Coxey turned to the crowd and raised
his hat. He was pale. Captain Gar
den, of the capitol police, stepped to the
side of him, and Lieutenant Kelly, of
the city police, held his other arm. The
officers formed solidly about him. The
crowd below was kept back by menacing
clubs.
'What do you want here?'' asked
Captain Garden.

Coxey. His voice showed intense emo
ton.
''But you cannot do that"
s'Then can 1 read protest?' asked
Coxey. He drew from his pocket a
typewriter manuscript and began to
unfold it. Captain Garden took Coxey
by the left arm and Lieutenant Kelly
by the right. They moved down the
steps, solid ranks of officers following.
AS Coxey made his exit from the
capitol entrance he tossed typewritten
protest to group of newspaper men,
saying, ''That is for the press.'' There
was no formal arrest. Coxey turned
toward the army, which still stood on B
street.
MARSHAL BROWNE ARRESTED.
Carl Browne was a shining mark on
account of his conspicuous costume, and
the most aggressive portion of the crowd
followed him. As Browne broke through
the foliage half dozen mounted police
charged after him. When he reached
the foot of the capitol steps there was an
exciting dialogue between him and the
police. Two policemen threw them
selves upon Browne. grabbed the flag OF
peace, smashed the staff, seized Browne
by the shoulders, and thrust him through
the crowd several hundred feet to the
sidewalk. Clubs descended upon the
mems shoulders, but whether Browne
was hit could not be seen. The officers
rushed him through the crowd, he try
ing to shelter his head, shouting 81
am an American citizenl I stand on my
constitutional rights p' The dramatic
marshal was dragged toa police station.
Christopher Columbus Jones, of the
Philadelphia contingent, was also ar

grounds. The penalty is fine not to
exceed 500 or imprisonment not to ex-
