Dowie last right. About or,.hi~s
that number had secured admists.ce
when at 8 o'clock Dowie orae.s IL
doors closed. When the other z0.,5
found themselves shut out the widest
disorder prevailed, and the police,
400 strong, were for q time utterly
unable to cope with the mad rush OF
the crowd. Men and women were
knocked down and trampled on and
many narrowly escaped death in the
crush.
Several times Inspector Walsh sent
in calls for extra reserves and 1t was
not until the meeting was suddenly
terminated by Dowie shortly after 8
o'clock, that anything could be done
with the crowd.
In the surging of the throng Grace
George, who was on her way to a
theater where she is playing, was
swept of her feet and trampled on and
had her clothing badly torn. She &C.
cused the police of handling her very
roughly.
Mrs. William j. Buckley Of Newark,
N. j., was caught in the crush and fell
fainting to the street. She was badly
bruised. Inspector Walsh was near
the woman when she fell, and with
the aid of fifteen policemen he rescued
and carried her to safety.

comparatively tame. There were one
or two slight demonstrations from a
body of a thousand Columbia students.

DIR. Dowie spoke only for about ff-

a laudation Of its founder.

Dowie ordered reporters excluded, and
those who were seated at the report

DR.. Dowie's orders to his guards to

NOT SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION
Statute of Limitation Prevents Actor
Against Congressman Littauer.

Against Congressman Littauer.
Washington, Oct. 22.-The opinion
Of the attorney. general in the case of
Representative l.. M. Littauer of New
York, involving the charge of viola
tfon of the statute prohibiting any
member of congress from making a
contract and supplying the govern
ment with goods, was received at the
wal department Wednesday.
Littauer is q member Of the firm of
Iittauer Bros, manufacturers of
gloves, and through e. R. Thorn fur
nished the quartermaster's depart
ment with gloves for the army.
Investigation of the case revealed
apparent violation of law and the mat
ter was referred to Attorney General
Knox. From a casual perusal Of his
report 1t is inferred that the depart
ment OF justice does not pass upon
the,guilt or innocence of Littauer, but
decides that the time within which
legal action must be taken under the
statute of limitation has expired and
that Littauer is not subject to prosecu.
ton by the department.
