MILLIONAIRE
BEGS FOR COAL.
James D0bSOl STANDS In Line
Behind Poor Woman at
Reading Office

Philadelphia. Sept, cot Is not
only the poor who want coal. Nor
are they the only ones ready TO seek
it In person.
This was demonstrated yesterday,
when James Dobson, the multi.mil.
lionaire carpet manufacture, appear
ed at the city sales Office OF til. Phil.
adelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company to make application for
coal.
He was not the only needy one on
that errand and had to take his turn
with the rest. The fact that in or.
dinary times the Dobson' 5 are among
the largest customers the Reading
has for coal. buying II oy the thou
sand tons. made nc difference yester.
day.
Mr.. Dobson was not seen by Mr..
Coughlln. city sales agent. IN advance
Of u poor woman who had come just
ahead Of him, nor did he ask to be.
TO the observer it looked as th0ug b
the announced purpose Of the Read
Ing to distribute what coal it has
where it is most needed was being
carried out to the letter. While
waiting his turn Mr.. Dobson said to
a reporter who happened to be thlre.
Il came yesterday to ask for coal
and was told shat my best course
would be to make application 10
very urgent letter. This / sent and
now am here 10 see what effect it
had. l want carload Of coal. In fact
noel 1t badly. \ must have It,"
Atthis point Mr.. Coughlin invited
Mr.. Do6son into his Office. lie was
there a minute and as the left Mr..
Coughlin said Come back again this
afternoon"
1t tcould not be learned whether
Mr.. Dobson on his third person al
visit secured the coal he wanted.
but 1t seelns altogether probable
that he vii: not get q whole carload
just now.

Terrible Results

a deadly scramble began TO get our.
The entrance to the church was liter

Booker Washington had just con-
cluded his address when Judge Bill9u,
negro lawyer from Baltimore, en-
gagged in dispute with the choir lead
er concerning an unoccupied seat 1t
is said a blow was struck. Some one In
the choir cried, '"fhey're fighting"
Mistaking the word fighting for
fire" the congregation rose ell masse
and started for the door
One of the ministers quickly mounted
the rostrum and admonished the peo-
pie to keep quiet. He repeated the
word "quiet'' several times and mo-
toned to his hearers to be seated. The
excited congregation mistook the word
"uuiet" for a second alarm of fire and
again rushed for the deor. Men and
women crawled over benches and
fought their way into the aisles, and
those who had fallen were trampled
upon like cattle.
The ministers tried again to stop the
stampede, but no power OIL earth could
stay the struggling, fighting mass of
humanity.
The screams of the women and chill
dren added to the horror of the scene.
Through mere fright many persons
tainted and as they fell to the floor

A JUDICIAL DECISION.
United States Soldiers Amenabls In Civil
Courts for Ofsnses Other Than Those
Against Army Rules.

San Francisco, Oct. ga decision
Of more than usual interest was rem
dered in the United States circuit
court Of appeals yesterday when it
decided that the military men Of the
United States army are amenable in
the civil courts of the country for
offenses other than those committed
solely in violation Of army rules.
The decision was delivered in the case
Of Lieut.. John N. Neall, q Preside
officer, convicted Of forgery in 1898
before q jury and sentenced to serve
two years in prison.
Neall's attorneys appealed from
the lower courts findings and the
jury's verdict, claiming that, as Neall
and all the parties concerned in his
alleged offense were of the United
States army, Neall's trial should have
been a court-martial under the arti-
cles OF war.
The high court will not grant that
error occurred in this particular.
After ar exhaustive argument, deal
ing with the constitutions utter
ances on the subject, the court Of
appeals denied the petition for a re-
versal Of the decision and upholds
completely the judgment of the lower
courts.

manding reinstatement of the sus-
pended students, but the committee
that presented the resolutions to
President Snyder was informed that
the faculty meant to stand firm In

Iowa state bank and secured an
amount approximating $4,000. They
exchanged a fusillade Of shots with
local officers and escaped. Night
Waterman Erskine discovered four
men approaching. the bank at one
o'clock. One Of the men cornered
him and kept him covered with a
rifle for three hours while another
broke open the bank door and
worked on the safe. A general alarm
was given and a posse quickly formed
and went on the trail. Bloodhounds
were dispatched to the scene.

ROOSEVELT TO VOTE.
The President Will Go'to Oyster
Bay for the Election.
AEARLYALL CABINET MEMBERS away
The President Has Completed the Outline
Of the Message He Will send to Con.
sress ct the Opening Of the
Session In December.

Washington, Oct. 27.-President
Roosevelt has arranged to 20 to Oys.
ter bay this week and remain there
until election day, when he will cast
his vote and then return to Washing.
ton. Nearly all of the members Of
the cabinet are away and many Of
the subordinate officials at the de-
partments are taking an active part
in the campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt has completed the
outline Of the message he will send
to congress at the opening Of the
session in December. His recon-
mendations with reference to the
trusts are awaited with especial in
terest. 1t is understood that the
the president will withhold his writ
speeches, and will urge that congress
go as far as it can within its con-
s%titutional limitations to curb and
regulate m%onopolies and organiza-
tions dangerous to public welfare.
He will again urge publicity and
probably recommend the passage of
a bill, which, it is now understood,
will be prepared by Attorney Gen
eral Knox and be introduced in the
house by Representative Littlefeld.
The coal strike and the presidents
action to bring about a settlement
will be discussed in the message, but
the president will withhold his writ
ing Of that portion until the last, in
view Of a possible report early in De-
cember by the commission that is 60
ing to take up the question. Should
the commission not be ready to re-
port by that time, the president
probably will reserve any pointed
discussion Of labor and capital ques-
lions until the report has been re-
ceived. He can then transmit this
report to congress in a special mes
sage, accompanied by his own rec
concentrations. The creation Of a
tariff commission will also be recon-
mended. Mr.. Roosevelt will do the
greater part Of the work on his mes
sage when he returns from Oyster
bay. He has decided in a general
way, however, what he will probably
recommend.
1t is probable that Secretary Root
will recommend to congress that the
Porto Rican provisional regiment of
infantry be made part of the regular
army of the United States. A gen.
eral order is now being prepared at
the war department providing that
the strength of the Porto Rican regi-
ment be reduced simultaneously with
the reduction of the regular forces.
The order will direct that the organ
ization consist of eight companies Of
65 men each. Under the law the
Porto Rican regiment is not an
actual part Of the regular army, al
though it is commanded by a COM
missioned officer of the army.

THE TRUST QUESTION
Secretary Shaw Tells at Omaha
What Republicans Have Done.
GROVER CLEVELAyD'S STATEMENT,
The Ex-Presldent Says He II Besieged with
Applications to Make Speechss-rarif
the Paramount Issue-Dsmocratio
Meeting In New York,

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 2S.-Secretary Of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw last
night spoke to an enthusiastic audi
ence in this city. The secretary's
address touched the several issues
OF the campaign, speaking for two
hours. He took up first the tariff
question, which he touched only in
a general way, defending the present
schedule and refraining from an
opinion as to the necessity of modi-
fication. On the question of trusts
he said: TRUSTS began to exist
many years ago. President Cleve-
land appointed a commission to in
vestigate the trust question, which
made its report two days before Gen.
Harrison was inaugurated, recon-
mending that 1t be given serious con-
hderation by subsequent congresses"
Asked by some one in the audi
ence if the present administration
would deal with them the secretary
replied: "Yes, we are doing some
thing in that line"
Continuing his address he said:
"The Sherman antitrust law was the
first, last and only law ever passed
to control the trusts. It was writ
ten by Sherman, signed by Harrison
and is being enforced by Roosevelt"
He also made a vigorous defense Of
the army and of the policy of the ad.
ministration in the Philippines.
