PARKER REc1TEs HIS STORY.
The Presidents Defender Addresses
IL Large CoIored Audience

James B. Parker, the colored mar who
claims to have prevented CzOlgosz from
firing a third shot at President Mckinley
last night, gave his version Of the at
tempt on the late Presidents life before u
large audience at the Metropolitan A. NJ
r. Church, NJ Street, between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Streets northw ast- Before
the address was delivered collection
was taken up for the benefit Of Parker
The Amphion Glee Club during the even
ing rendered musical selections
The stage was occupied by prominent
colored men of this city. s. II. Hewlett
d colored attorney-at-law, introduced
George II. White, who in a few words
stated the object OF the meeting. He said
he was aware that every effort had been
made to take away from Parker the
credit that was due him. Following the
conclusion Of Mr.. Whites remarks. the
speaker of the evening, amid loud and
sustained applause, stepped to the front
of the platform. Parker recited the story
of the shooting of the Pre- sident, and said
in the course of his addrtss: i am graf
fled to see so many colored people who
believe that what 1 did and what 1 viii
say is true / was present when the at
tempt was made upon the Presidents life,
and when the assassin dealt his deadly
blow it was then that / felt that it was
time to act. 1t is no great honor OF credit
that 1 am trying to get. l don't want
more than the American people think 1
ought to haze. | would ike to tell you
what | know of the sad affair, but don [
think this is the time. When the shot
was fired William Mckinley was looking
right at me. and my eyes were riVeted on
his when 1 felled the assassin to the
floor"
Mr. Parker described how he came to
visit the exposition on the fatal DAY. and
said in connection with this. Walking
slowly, l found myself in front of a man
who didn't seem particularly anxious to
be keeping oE the move. J asked him to
let me pass, Gdt between him and the
guards / was kept in line.
"CZOlgUsZ was Immediately In front Of
me, and as the President was about to
shake hands with him he noticed that the
mans hand was in a sling. | looked over
CZolgosZs shoulder to see what was the
then. | snatched him by the shoulder,
dealt him a heavy blow in the face and
we both fell to the floor. | took him 10y
the throat and twisted him so as to al
most cut his wind OFF,
He then described how Gallagher. the
secret service man. took the handkeT-
chief, and how an artilleryman took the
pistol. THE crowd thought Gallagher
was the assassin. and beat him most un-
mercifully," said Parker For three see
cnds / had Czolgosz all TO myself. An
officer of the exposition came up and we
had raised CZolgosz to his feet Mr.. Fos-
ter. of the Secret Service, came up and
dealt the assassin blow that sent us
both again to the floor"
Parkers remarks were frequently in
terrupted ny loud applause.

SUES FOR FIRE INSURANCE.
II, C. Dotson Seeks f6 Recover
Amount of an Unpaid Policy.

Robert c. Dotson, for the benefit of the
Merchants National Bank. OF Baltimore.
yesterday filed suit against the Erie Fire
Insurance Company. OF Buffalo, n. Y. to
recover 1900. claimed to be due on a GER
tain policy of insurance.
1t is recited that in August, 1900. the
plaintiff insured with the defendant for
the sum of $3.50 certain property on
premises 502, SOL. North Capital Street
The policy was issued, it is stated on
August 7. 1860 and was to cover the prop
erty until August last. On June last
it is stated, the property insured was de
stroyed by fire and the plaintiff sustained
a loss of $10000.
Dotson alleges that he notified the de-
fendant OF his loss but that it refused
to pay the amount of the policy. B. F.

AN UNEXPECTED OUTCOME.
Discharge of an Alleged AccompIice
Surprises the Police.

James F. Shea, of 333 Pennsylvania Ave
nue. northwest, was arrested by De-
tectives Tyser and TrumbO and Precinct
Detective Evans on charge Of receiving
stolen property. Prosecuting Attorney
Mullowney thought that shea did not
know any better, and believing that the
law was too severe and that the scare
was all that was necessary in this in
stance, Holle pressed the case.
The action is severly criticized by the
police who claim that the case was a
particularly aSgraN dted one. Shea bought
a diamond ring valued at $50 from Thom-
MS Garner, colOred for 81, and then i'm
mcdiately pawned it for $50.
Garner has been held for the action of
the grand jury on a charge of having
stolen the ring from Jonas Hechingcr, Of
1a2S Seventh Street northwest.

THE SOCIALIST DEMANDS.

The Socialist convention opened 10
1 adianspolis, Iod., yesterday morning.
with discussion of the platform, which
was reported Tuesday afternoon. the
document being taken up, plank by
plank, and every one exciting more or
less discussion.
Interest centred in the question as to
whether thst part Of the platform which
demands public ownership OF sll public
utilities, reduction OF hours OF labor,
public improvements, to give the un-
employed work, and equal rights for
women, should be retained. These
came to be known as Immediate de-
maDds," and some OF the membeis op-
posed them because they are too rad
cal, saying that they should be reached
gradually .aDd not all demanded OF
one. Prof Herren headed the con-
servatives, but when a vote was reacl Q !
the demands we're retained In the plat
form by au overwhelming majority.
Tie following clause was then added
"But In making these demands -
steps 10 the overthrow OF capitalism
and IN tho establishment of the CO.
operative commonwealth, We would
warn the people against the public
ownership demands made by capitalist
political parties, which always result
10 perpetuating the capitalist system
through the compromise or defeat OF
the socialist revolution"
The convention refus ) to strike out
the resolution dec'auog the public
schools and the ulches TO be under
the centrol # the capitalists. One
member d claied that such references
TO the church would result 10 Losses ol
votes among church members, but
delegate shouted: "Then let them get
out OF the churches" and the vote was
taken and che churches declared to be
under the control of capital.
A bid for farmers votes was made by
declaring that their economic Interests
are the same ss wage workers, but the
plank raised such storm that 1t was
stricken out and referred to special
committee for revision.
The committee on constitution re
ported yesterday evening and present
ed the name OF Socialist party" for the
new organization. Many OF the dele
gates wanted the word Revolutionary"
In the name and others wanted 1t called
the "Internstional Socialist party"
but the committee explained that it's
object was to get rid of the word
democratic" in the present name, but
the report was fually approved.
The more intelligent delegates feel
that much time is being wasted, and
they would leave for home we're not
they afraid that the radical element
would run things with high hand. a
national secretary is to be elected and o
place selected for the party hesdquar-

TRAIN HELD UP.

Four masked men held up the New
York and Chicago express train on tho
Baltimore aud Ooio Railroad at
Calumet Heights. Just across the ln-
diana line, at 8 o'clock LIST night
They secured no cash.
The robbers blew open one OF the
baggage cars, thinking 1t the express
ear, terrorized the trsinmen and pas
sengers by shooting, and escaped IN the
scrub OAK growth to the west, going to.
ward Tracy, lad. The robbery would
doubtless have been successful II there
had been o ssf, in the baggage car, as
the robbers expected.
The train was brought to stop by
the swinging Of red light across the
tracks. Is was In q lonely place, with
the open prairie studded here and
there with scrub oak. None of the
trainmen made aBy resistance. The
shooting kept up by the bandits effse-
tually prevented them from making
fight or from following the men.
AS soon as the train came to a stsnd-
still two men boarded the engine aud
placing revolvers at the heads OF the
engineer and fireman compelled them
10 uneouple the express and baggage
car from the train. Then the engineer
was ordered to 90 ahead about two
hundred feet. AS sosn as this was
done one OF the robbers produced
stick of dynamite aud plac ing enc end
at the door of the baggage car lighted
the fuss, The explosion blew big
hole in the side of the Car and 10 the
floor.
The robbers compelled the engineer
and fireman to get up into the car with
them and a quick search was made fol
the safe. All the time the bandits were
operating with the baggage car they
kept up a constant fire to keep she creW
10 subjeetion and to compel the passen
gers to remain inside the coaches. No'
finding what they sought, one OF the
% on said
"What will we do now2n
The other said: Lets get out oI
this."
Both leaped to the ground aud ran tC
the side of the track, climbed the fence
and we're lost 10 the darkness.
