The Crush at the Capitol.
2 Editor Of The Evening Star:


AS one of the many thousand who,
through love and devotion for our mar
tyred Mckinley, desired to take a last
look, hasty though it were, of his benign
countenance, / wish to enter an indignant
protest against the paipable lack Of proper
police arrangements and the shameful pow
erty of resource which was apparent on all
sides on the occasion OF viewing the Presi-
dents remains-and that. too, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the congestion was to
of program which limited to six short hours
the homage to be paid to their beloved
President by the citizens and residents Of
this District.
1t is needless to enter into detail either
of criticism or of suggestion what might
have been done to prevent so horrible a
crush and the personal injuries which re-
suited therefrom. 1t is sufficient to note
that from Buffalo no such catastrophe is
reported while the conditions so far as
known were precisely similar. Nor is there
any proper comparison to be made between
this occasion and the crowds which gather
to hear the inaugural address, where the
congestion Is general and not toward one
narrow space through which a surging mul-
titude must needs pass within given time
Certainly 1T would seem that most ordi-
nary ability to grasp situation, to use
a common phrase, should have anticipated
the probabilities of such an occasion and
have conveyed the suggestion of some eff
ficient means of coping with them. To
say that so horrible crush could not have
been prevented would be an acknowledge
ment OF incapacity which hardly will be
pleaded even in extenuation, yet not to
have anticipated and taken strenuous meas
ures to prevent 1t seems to be an over
sight equally culpable; for 1t Is to be re-
marked that no officer or courier was pres
ent to direct the people where to fall in
line, while most unjust discrimination
was made against two lines which were re-
prehensibly turned away at the massage
after having been formed three hours, thus
throwing their occupants into the wedge OF
humanity which. sounding with the shrieks
of crushed women and suffocating children
crowded the point OF entrance.
1t is far from the purpose of this letter
to detract from the fullest need of praise
due the officers who strove 50 nobly and
assiduously to quiet the impatient and
struggling throng after the crush began
A higher authority Is accountable for the
anguish and suffering precipitated upon
helpless women and children on this occa-
sion, which an early and a well-ordered po-
lice supervision surely could have obviated
The consequences are certainly grave
enough to cali for. and the injured persons
have right to demand, an investigation
by the powers that be, and such action be
taken as will insure adequate police ar
rangements to meet future exigencies of
this character. b. f. ATHERTON.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS

Yesterday was q hard day for the police
officers who were detailed for duty in front
of the Capitol Many of them were with
out food or water from I o'clock in the
morning until after Z o'clock at night.
There was no provision made for feeding
them, and because OF the number required
for the duty the police force was not large
enough to furnish q relieving squad. All
day long the officers remained out in the
rain along with thousands of people in the
several lines waiting to get a glimpse of
the face of the dead President. Most of
the waiting people were shielded from the
weather by umbrellas. and many of them
had brought their lunches with them, ex-
pecting long wait
From the time the door of the Capitol
was thrown open to the public until it was
closed thousands Of people were in the
several columns clamoring to get near the
massive building. After the terrible scene
about noon nobody was injured to any eX-
tent. Those who were in line kept excel
lent order until they reached point in
front of the east door, and it was at this
meeting place that all the trouble In the
early afternoon was experienced Upon the
arrival of the several lines at the point
mentioned the police and soldiers made an
effort to get the people in a line Of twos,
which seemed to be almost an impossibility.
1t was not until a point near the steps
was reached that the double-file line was
arranged, and from there to the west door
there was no further trouble. The crowd
was kept in the grounds for so long time
that many persons became weary, and they
seemed to forget for while the solemnity
OF the occasion. Many amusing incidents
were therefore witnessed.

Police Destroy Umbrellas.


At the place where the several lines met
policemen shouted, Put down your UNI

carriers of the weather shields failed to re-
spond the officers destroyed the umbrellas
with their clubs. Some of the victims at
tempted to demonstrate with the officers,
but the latter could find no time to offer
explanations.
Mr. Gilbert ]. Osterman OF Anacostia
rescued a child from possible death. The
little one, girl was beneath the feet of
the crowd, when Mr.. Osterman by great
effort got her up and placed her on one
Of his shoulders. In the terrific struggle
that ensued he managed to protect her.
He succeeded in placing the little girl In

ment that the mother was found
The horse of Mounted Officer r. c.
Dyer of the Anacostia station was forced a
short distance up the steps andSwas cut on

On the asphalt pavement along the line
where the people were hurrying toward the
Capitol steps were articles of wearing ap-
parel, including hats, uridergarments of
every description, belts and rubber shoes.
Safety pins were there by the hundred, and
there were many pieces Of cheap jewelry
picked up. Most of these articles had been
lost during the exciting crush which oc-

watches and pocket books and restored
them to their owners. IT. developed later
that several persons who thought they had
been robbed had merely lost their pocket
books or other yaluables.

The kickers on the farm are
not as hard to get along with
as the kickers in the town.
On the farm there is the kick

friend, the mule, while in the

blocks, SO far as he can, every

COW may be sold for beef and
the mule traded for a shot
