MOB. At THE. CHURCH
NEEDED POLICE
PERSUASION
Crowd Interfered at Goe-
let Wedding.
GUESTS WERE HELD UP

New York, Nov. 10.-Police reserves
numbering about 200 blue coats under
command of Inspector Mclaughlin
had to be sent to preserve order this
afternoon at the st. Thomas Protest
ant Episcopal church, Fifth avenue,
between 53rd and '54th streets. There
had gathered there a crowd Of 5000
persons mostly women, who had come
to see what they could of the Rox-
burghGoelet wedding.
The carriage which was occupied by
Miss Goelet and her brother Robert
was surrounded by a crowd of women,
who pushed the police aside and pcered
into the window, block away from
the entrance to the church anil contin-
ued to peer into the vehicle finally
reached the church door To make
this more embarrassing for The duch-
ess to be, her long bridal veil caught
on something inside the carriage and
there were several minutes delay in
unfastening 1t. All this time the crowd
surrounded the bride and her brother
with the police standing by helpless.
The Duke Of Roxburgh escaped most
OF the crowd by entering the church
by the way of the vestry on 53ra
street.
The other guests to the wedding,
about 200 in number, were treated in
similar fashion to Miss Goelet, as a
result Of the inability of the police
to cope with the crowd.
After the ceremony a mounted po,
lice man preceded the bridal carriage
back to the Goelet residence outside of
which there was repetition of tht
scenes at the church

FORMER CANT0NIAN
VICTIM OF QUEER Law

A freakish law on the statute books
OF Oklahoma territory has made it
possible for the officials of Kingishei
county Of that territory to cause the
arrest OF J. w. Hoover, formerly Of
Canton but now agent for the Ameri-
can Bridge Co., of this city, on the
charge of manslaughter. Hoover as
agent for the Canton company, 1t Is
claimed, entered into contract with
the officials of Kingfisher county to
erect bridge over river in the coun-
ty. This was about two years ago,
and when the bridge was opened for
travel, 1t collapsed and wagon con-
tanning five persons went down with
1t. One of the occupants, John Casey,
was killed. The grand jury has in
dicted agent Hoover for manslaughter
Hoover at present lives In Kansas City
Missouri. He denies that he ever Wis
tied KirEfsher county or conducted
dealings with it's officials.

is HAULED
OVER THE GOALS. .
BY BACON
Senator Wakes Wroth
Over Recognition.
DEMOCRATS MAY ACT

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Ba-
con, Of Georgia. has prepared reso-
luton strongly censuring President
Roosevelt for his action in recognizing
the new republic of Panama 1t is writ
ten in plain words and does not spare
the administration.
Mr.. Bacon intends to lay his resolu-
ton before the Democratic caucus and
seek to have 1t unanimously adopted.
In such event it would have the solid
support of the Democrats in the senate,
although It's adoption would be impos-
sible
II is known that all of the Democrats
do not approve Of censuring the presi-
dent and there will be much difference
of opinion in the caucus.
Information was received at the state
department today, that DR.. Manuel
Amador and Frederic Boyd, the COM
mission appointed by the republic OF
Panama to come here and negotiate
canal treaty, sailed today from Colon
Advices were also received that Ad-
miral Glass with the Marblehead and
Concord reached Colon today.
1t is intended to send additional war
ships to the vicinity of Colon as soon
as they can be selected and dispatch
ed.
1t has been decided to give the naval
commanders wide latitude on their own
line of action during the present 18TH
mian troubles. They will be allowed
the utmost discretion. This conclusion
followed long discussion by the pres
ident and cabinet preceded by a con-
ference bet IN Mr. Roosevelt and SEN
ators Hanna and Aldrich.
1t has been announced that the Unit
ed States will not permit Colombia tc
land troops on the isthmus and If pos
slble their shipment from Colombian
ports will be prevented.
This question will receive further
consideration and in the meantime II
is hoped by the officials that Colombis
will take the warning now being given
and not seek to embark troops for the
isthmus.

Republicans have made their seiec-

them and later call a caucus of tho
Democrats to ratify the assignments
to be made by the steering commit

It is understood that the Democrat

filibustering. refrain from strenuous
opposition, except when special point
can be made and leave the responsible

cans.

BRILLIANT SUNSETS
|LLUME WESTERN SKY
They Mystify Scientists and Laymen
Alike--Accompanied by Sun
Spots.

Red sunsets have been observed for
several evenings and the cause is a
mystery to scientist and ordinary citi-
zen alike. For an hour after the sun
drops below the horizon, the sky is
lighted up with brilliant red hues,
giving the impression that great Are
Is raging in the west. The color rises
high In the heavens and extends fully
one fourth of the way around the
horizon. 1t is supposed to be due to
some atmospheric conditions, but
none of the scientific fellows have
ventured more than guess at what
causes the phenomenon.
Some years ago red sunsets con-
tinued for several weeks and the su-
perstitious were in great fear for the
reason that some one who professed to
be of prophetic turn claimed that
1t foretold oalamities, including fam
Inc and the ravages of deadly dis
eases. At that time, as now, the pres
ence of distinct sunspots complicated
the situation. The calamities did not
materlalize and the failure OF those
soothsayers has prevented any such
predictions as to the present red in
the sky.

DOUBLE LIABILITY
AND WHEN IT ENDS
Mooted Question Among
the State Authori-
ties.

Columbus, Nov. 6.-Ohio corpora
tions are sending inquiries to Secre-
tary of State Laylin, asking for in
formation as to the time the constitu-
tional amendments become affective
and whether or not 1t will be neces-
sary for them to dissolve and re-incor-
porate in order to be relieved of the
double liability on stock. 1t is the op-
inion of Governor Nash and Secretary
Of State Laylin that the amendments
became a part of the constitution on
election night. A law passed in 1902
provides for canvassing board, con-
sisting of the governor, secretary Of
state and attorney general, to 60 over
the returns. The certificate of votes
on the constitutional amendments
must be filed with the secretary of
state within ten days and the board
has 20 days in which to complete its
work 1t Is the opinion of Governor
Nash that the report of the board is
retroactive. which makes the success
full amendments part of the constitu-
tion Immediately after the election.
Attorneys are divided as to just
when stockholders are relieved of dou-
BILE liability, but both the governor and
the secretary of state stated positively
that all stock, save that only as to
obligations or debts contracted before
the amendment was adopted, which
will be subject to the double liability
feature permanently, ceased to be un-
der this responsibility the moment the
amendment became effective. This op-
inion will be of much interest to con-
Germs which were under the impression
it would be necessary to re-incorpor-
ate to escape double liability. Under
the amendment Ohio corporations will
only be responsible for the face value
of their stock. Heretofore they could
be held for just double their stock.
This has worked great injury to the
state, having been the means of keep
ing away much outside capital.

OIL TERRITORY
Belonging to Local Company. Makes a
Good Showing--Directors Visit
the Field.

Messrs. l.. A. Loichot, r. S. Lenhart,
DR.. ]. F. Dougherty and w. L. Stolzen-
bach returned Saturday from a trip to
Wood county, Ohio, where they went
over the property of The Mutual OIL
Co., OF which they are directors. The
Wood county property of this COM
ferent farms on which there have al
ready been forty-nine wells sunks, all
of which wells are being operated by
the company. These wells are produc-
ing between 80 and 100 barrels of oil
per day and as the price of oil has
been steadily advancing of late they
constitute valuable property. The
modern methods of operating oil prop
erty with gas engines, using for fuel
for pumping the oil gas from the oil
wells, makes the expense of operating
extremely light. thus adding largely to
the profits of the business. Another
economy in oil operations is the use of
powers whereby a large number of
wells are pumped by the use of one
engine. The Mutual Oil Co. has avail
ed itself of every possible saving in ex-
pense and is pumping its 40 wells with
the use of central powers. The
above named directors speak highly
of the good condition of the property
visited by them.

ROUNDED UP

Mr.. Harvey Slusser, United States
revenue collector reports some excit-
ing experiences while collecting the
duties on whiskey. Some time ago
he was detailed to arrest a gang OF
'moonshiners" operating in the noun
tains of Kentucky The posse was
composed of six men and the object
of their raid was to arrest a gang, who
were reported to be making whiskey
under the falls of Lone Creek, in
Letcher county, KY, without paying
revenue.
The members of the posse rode
horses into the woods surrounding the
falls, dlsmounting on the north sido
Of the stream. BY using great stealth
they managed to reach the cave un-
disturbed. No one was about but a
still running full blast" was discov-
cred.
When the mountaineers arrived they
expressed their intention of keeping
the detectives under the water fall.
Every time one Of the party appear
ed at the mouh of the cave. Crack!
would go rifle until the situation be-
came precartous. Luckily enough
the men with the rifles were all on
the opposite side Of the stream from
the horses. All hope of escape was
given up, for that day at least, but
when night approached according to a
suggestion by one of the posse all
of the ren crept into the woods. Their
horses were found all right and in less
than a week eight men were In jail
to answer to the charge of the un-
lawful making and selling whiskey.
"The only reminder Of the adventure
we have" says Mr.. Slusser. is $40O

LABOR CONVENTION
SCORED ROOSEVELT
AMERICAN FEDER ALTON
HEARS CRITICISM
CredentiaI Com mittee
Hears Protests.

John Mitchell Presided at the Afternoon
Session and Was Warmly Received
Time Taken Up Seating the Various
Delegations.
Boston, Mass, Nov 10-With one ex-
ception, todays proceedings of the con-
venion Of the American Federation Of
Labor, we're wholly void Of interest
This exception, however, is of interest
in so much as comment was made scor-
ing President Roosevelt for his action
in the Miller case.
The report Of the executive council
was being read by Vice President Dun
can, who commenting on this subject.
declared the presidents action unfair
to the best interests Of labor, and the
presidents works as rather unstates-
man like when discussing the matter
with President Gompers. This COM
ment was not included in the report,
but was given aside when Mr.. Duncan
read the published letter from the pres
ident in reference to Miller in which
the president declared it made no diff
ference whether man belonged to a
labor union or not, so far as the gov
ernment was concerned as an employ
er, any more than whether the man was
Jew, Catholic or Protestant. The
comment Of Mr. Duncan was most fav-
orably received.
The afternoon session was devoted
wholly to settling the protests laid be-
fore the committee on credentials. To-
morrow afternoon the delegates will en-
Joy an excursion down the harbor and
in the evening will be banquetted in
Fanueil hall both occasions being ten
dered by Mayor P. A. Collins of this
city.
John Mitchell presided at the after
as he took the chair.
The discussion regarding the hearing
of the delegates of the International
bakers and confectioners occupied an
hour and half. 1t was finally voted
to concur in the report of the committee
seating only Emil Shearon.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials refusing to seat C. E. Jones
as delegate Of the federal labor union
Of Burlington, VT, was next consider
ed, and after hearing the members OF
the committee and Mr.. Jones, the con-
vention voted to concur in the COM
mittee report. ...
The report Of the committee on cre-
dentials granting three instead Of four
delegates to the United Textile work.
ers was next discussed. After much
wransling it was voted to concur with
the committee and three delegates were
seated. Other protests, all Of minor
nature, were considered and acted upon
according to the recommendation Of the
committee. The convention adjourned
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, to meet
at o'clock tomorrow morning.
