WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL EQUALITY
RooseveIt's Action Endorsed by a
Church Association in Illinois

Chicago, October 22-President Roose-
velt'S action in entertaining Book
er T. Washington, the noted COL
ored educator, at the White house was
upheld and publicly appoved by the
American Missionary Association, which
opened its fifty-fifth annual meeting to-
day at the First Congregational church
at Oak Park.
The matter had been a common topic
of conversation among the delegates to
the convention throughout the day, the
society's prominence in the education of
the negro making the matter Of unusual
interest
Additional Importance was lent to the
affair from the fact that Booker T
Washington is a protege of the associa-
ton. He received his first assistance in
securing an education from the associa-
tion and the impetus and encourage
ment thus gave him in his youth has
often been acknowledged by him as the
basis Of the prominence he now enjoys
The afternoon session had slipped
away before the sentiment of the dele
cation crystaliZed into action and tbs
matter was taken up by the business
committee. Before they had formula ted
suitable resolutions the session adjourn
ed and action was postponed until the
evening meeting, which, it had been
planned, was to have been entirely
taken up by a, sermon and the commun-
ion service. The matter was Geemed
however. of sufficient Importance for a
change in the programme. When the
meeting convened in the evening
Thomas c. MacKillan. Of Chicago, one
of the lay delegates, arose and on be-
q n
ed the following resolution:
''The American Missionary Asssocia-
tion Of the Congregational churches at
is fifty-fifth annual meeting, held in
Oak Park. ILL.,, Tuesday evening, Octo-
ber %, 1901, desires to express it's cordia,
approval of the act Of President Roose-
welt in entertaining at the White house
recently Booker r. Washington, just
ly honored representative of his people,
thus ignoring race prejudice and pub
licly and officially reaffirming the equal
rights of American citizenship and en-
phasizing the principle of brotherhood
revealed by our great Exemplar and
Master, even Christ
The resolution caused some fiutter
among the congregation who were not
aware of the change in the programme.
but it was adopted without a dissenting
voice and with manifest approved.
The same matter received attention
from Rev. S. Parkes Cadman. of Brook
lyn who delieyered the evening sermon.
Referring to the incident he said:
I'VE cannot shut out from the inclu-
sive meanings of the blessed evangel
any single child of the race, and we re-
joice in the courage Of our chief mag
istrate who receives at the executive
mansion Of this nation a distinguished
son of our African citizenship who IS
also an apostle of the principles for
which am pleading.
There is scarcely a monstrous para
dox in the social order of today which
cannot be traced to the refusal Of man
to link every one with the efficient
causes of the kingdom OF God and the
failure to look upon him as a brother in
Christ and to estimate him by the law Of
Christian comfy"

FALSE FIRE ALARM CAUSES A RUSH
FOR THE DOORS.
MANY PERSONS BADLY INJURED
The Presence OF Mind and Prompt
Action OF Few Prevented Much
Greater Disaster-The Burning Ont
ofa Fuse I'm the Polyscope Being Used
Caused the Wild Rush-Many Knock
ed Down and Trampled on by the
Panic-Stricken Crowd

Louisville. KY, October 22.-Hun-
dreds Of people attempted to rush out
of the Temple theatre this afternoon
because the cry of fire was raised, wnea
little fame was seen about the pol
yscope machine.
In the scramble scores OF people were
knocked down and more than twenty
were badly hurt, while it is feared that
two or three will not survive their in
juries.
1t was about $3.50, just after the first
act of ''Tennessee's Pardner," and while
the polyscope was being prepared for
its exhibition that the little flash Of
flame came that caused the panic
Many women and children made a
rush for the door. The panic seized the
gallery and in a moment the occupants
were plunging down the stairway in a
heap or were taking the swifter meth
Cd of climbing down into the auditor
ium proper. In their haste, many fell,
landing on those beneath. Several We're
badly hurt in this way.
Meanwhile those who had regained
their presence of mind endeavored to
stop the mad rush. The ushers and
.
ness. The orchestra played, member
of the stock company danced. This
was effective in quieting those nearest
the stage.
The great crush occurred where the
stairs come down from the gallery.
Here the two crowds met and were
packed In a space not large enough for
half of them and all were trying with
desperation born of fear to reach the
street. The weaker were soon knocked
down and trampled under foot Those
who realized the state of affairs We're
trying their best to check the rush.
but the crowd went on pellmell through
the doors and literally rolled down the
long flight of stairs.
AS soon as the rush was over the care
of the injured began. A big room was
converted into temporary hospital.
The greatest haste was made in remov-
ing the injured from the building in
order to prevent panic when the au-
dience was dismissed. Every patrol
wagon and ambulance in the city was
engaged in conveying the more serious
ly injured to the hospitals or their
homes. The members of the stock COM
pany showed the greatest presence of
mind and the play was finished with
out hitch.
Thirty policemen promptly prevented
disorder after the panic.
Clarence Meffert, an attache of the
theatre closed the wide exit doors IS
the rush began. He called a number
of men and by main force held the
crowd back But for this hundreds
might have been injured.
Just as the doors were closed Mrs
0. w. Blunt pitched her 4-year old child
through the exit to a policeman He
caught it in his arms, but it slipped
to the floor sustaining, however, no in
juries except slight bruises.
There was no damage from fire 1t
is said the cause of the flame was the
blowing out of a fuse on the polyscope

A STRIKE INEVITABLE
Unless There is an Increase of Wages
at Fall River.

Fall River, Mass, October 23.-Secre-
tary O'Donnell, of the Cotton Spinners'
Union, said today that nothing row
could prevent a strike of the cotton
mill operatives of this city unless the
manufacturers receded from their de-
termination not to advance the rate
of wages. The excitement which fol-
lowed the announcement of an advance
of per cent. at the Iron Works mills
yesterday has subsided, but the opera
tives who were conservative in their
strike attitude when the manufactur-
ers' association refused to meet the pre-
vious raise given by Mr.. Borden, owner
of the Iron Works mills. Of whom the
spinners were among the most careful.
now seem to be unanimous in favor of
forcing general increase if it cannot
be obtained otherwise.

Denver, May 21.-Two suits pert
nent to the property owners and tax
payers of Leadville were decided by
the Supreme Court yesterday in favor
Of that municipality. The decisions
are sweeping legal triumphs for tie
city and the result of both cases,
which have been pending in the state
courts for many years, practically
give Leadville possession Of the work
ings of large and valuable mining
properties located beneath the streets
and alleys of that city. the value OF
which On their face mean large pc
cuniary profits to the city.
The cases in point are the City of
Ieadville VS.. the Coronado Mining
Company ct al. and the same against
the st. Louis Smelling and Refining
Company. The decision covering the
latter case is in large measure con-
tingent on the opinion handed down in
the former case. both being written by
Justice Robert W. Steele. The mining
companies affected are the Coronado,
the Home Extension. the Cloud City,
the Sixth Street shaft and the Starr
placer. All of these companies have
extensive workings under some of the
principal streets of the city and have
taken out large sums of money from
ore extracted from those workings. In
concluding his opinion in the Coronado
case, Justice Steele sums of in the fol
lowing pertinent paragraph:
"If Leadville has large and valuable
deposits of ore under her streets it is
her good fortune. and such ore call
not be taken without her consent. In
extracting ores from beneath the
streets and alleys Of the city, without
the city's consent, the companies are
mere trespassers, and the municipality
is entitled to remuneration under the
law applicable to such cases."
According to the opinion OF the Su-
preme Court the Coronado Mining
Company has been trespassing since
July, 1896, when 1t, without the con-

country struck yesterday for nine.
hour day. a scale Of wages equal to the
present ten-bour per day scale, and
other demands.
Above Is 4 rough estimat. Of Presi-
dent OConnell Of the National Asso-
citation Of Machinists, based on tele-
graphic advices that have reached him
from the machinis;s headquarters in
the various cities. The strike thus far
has not extended to the allied trades,
save in one or two instances as at
Scranton. Pennsylvania. where men In
part of the allied trades are out
No machinists engaged in govern
ment work are affected. This is due TO
the fact that on such work an eight
hour day scale already prevails.
Railroad machinists. as n rule. are
not involved In the strike. though the
men on several roads are out. The
Central Vermont shop machinists at
st. Albans, numbering probably 200,
have struck. The Lehigh Valley rail-
road machinists AT Buffalo, Sayre,
Wilkesbarre and Elmira are out. ag-
gregating about 800 all told. The Della
ware, Lackawanna X Western at Buff
falo. Scranton. Wilkesbarre and inter-
mediate points are out. The Gulf, Col
orado and Santa Fe men are also out.
The strike order. however. does not
apply to the railroads generally.
The situation this afternoon was
summarized by President O'Connell in
the following statement:
I'VE are demanding nine-hour day
universally throughout the trade. with
an increase Of wages sufficient to over
come the loss of the hour in time; reg
ulation Of the apprenticeship system
and the number that shall be employed
in accordance with the number of

putes that may arise in the future. The
right of the machinists TO be represent
ed by a committee: and agreements
that there shall be absolutely no dis
elimination against machnists be-
cause of their membership in the union.
