eenth Street, no organization had turned
into Pennsylvania Avenue from Fifteenth
Street, and the crowd concluded that the
cars were the end of the parade.
PoIicemen,s Efforts of Little Avail.
The feeble effcrts OF the few policemen
OF duty between the White House and
Eighteenth Street were Of no avail with the
thousands of men. women, and chi dren
who crowded into the street behind the
illuminated cars. As the thousands from
the sidewalks sought the street the coAges-
tion became imminent. The police with
the greatest rapidity tore down the rope
that closed Eighteenth Street forced OF n
a pathway for The two cars, and then the
surging mass of people behind them.
Wedge-shaped. increased the opening b.
forcing stiil farther back the opposing
crowd
Had not all the people soon become con-
WINGED that the parade was over. cstas-
trophe might have taken place TIE NEST
of the people in the crowd live in the
western part of the city. and it was not
until these people turned their faces home
ward and the mass began moving in the
same direction that all danger of a seriols
block passed. This excitement lasted full y
ten minutes. and then the music OF a bani
was heard. the crowd became aware that
there was more to be seen, and a hat was
made.
The new arrivals proved to be the print
ing pressmen. who. from some unaccount-
able bad management in the formation OF
the line had separated the Illuminated
postal cars from the letter carriers. Many
Of the pressmen also left the line after
passing the State. War, and Navy Build
ing but fortunately the crowd had tn nned
cut enough By that time to enable the pc
lice 10 keep the street clear. After the
letter carriers passed north On Eighteenth
Street and the Young Mems Christian As
zociation deployed 10 the south the parade
became a fizzle. for many OF the other or
ganizations came along in a happy -go-easy
manner with but little regard for mill
tsry discipline.
The breaking ranks on the proper streets
by the organizations that o5eyed orders
proved entirely satisfactory. The men
were all urged. when disbanded 10 20
east fer several squares to avoid blockade
Of Pennsylvania Avenue. and except ii
rare cases they did as requested and did
not reach the Avenue until they passed
down TO and through Fifteenth Street.
