When He Was BOy

South ORANGE, y. j., Nov. 2i,-The Old
Hickory Inn, at which President Roosevelt
often visited in his youth, in Maplewood
was totally destroyed by fire this afternoon.
The house was built about forty years
ago by Mrs. c. V. S. Roosevelt. an aunt OF

mountainside and was one of the finest
mansions in northern New Jersey. 1t was
finished in hard woods and there were silver
knobs on the doors. There was a ballroom
on the ground floor, also immense dining
and living rooms and broad hallway.
A few years ago the place passed from
the hands of the Roosevelt estate into the
possession of William H. Curtiss. Later it
vas ran as the Roosevelt Inn by New

place was bought by T. B. Ackerson a Co.
of New York and run as boarding house.

the name to Old Hickory Inn and tried to

Crowd Hoots and Jeers at Traffic Resu.
latOrs-NIan's Head Badly Cut.

Frederick w. Travert of 70 West lolst
street, driver for the Lion Brewery, was
driving heavy two horse loaded truck up
Sixth avenue shortly before 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. When he attempted to
swing the truck into Thirty-ffth street
it did not meet with the approval Of Police
man Allen Of the traffic squad He ordered
Travert to turn around and be properly
instructed. At the officers command the
driver turned his team about the elevated
road posts two or three times. Then Allen
notified him that he was under arrest.
"Al right" said Travert I'm drive
around to the station house"
This did not suit Allen. He endeavored
to climb on the box and was told to get off
Travert considered that the officers presence
there was uncalled for. Allen called for
assistance. The truck was driven around
into Broadway and a crowd collected to see
what was wrong.
Then half a dozen cops climbed up on the
truck and brought Travert to the ground.
As he stood there, making no disturbance,
he alleges, Policeman Edward Mahoney of
the traffic squad came running up to lend
his assistance. With absolutely no reason,
Travert alleges. Mahoney brought down
his club with tremendous force on Travert 3
head.
The crowd had by this time grown to
considerably more than athousand persons.
The cry of "Shame.' rose from every one
and there were boots and joers from all
sides.
As the prisoner, with bleeding scalp,
was led to the West Thirtieth street police
station the mob followed. Jeers and
Kisses for the officers were continued. Many
excited citizens endeavored to enter the
station house to tell Capt. Dooley that an
outrage had been committed Capt, Dooley
assured them that justice would be done
and advised them to 60 to the jefferson
Market police court as witnesses.
When Travert was arraigned before
Magistrate Walsh several reputable c.ti-
zens appeared to testify in his behalf The
Magistrate made no comment upon the
case. He paroled Travert on his own
recognizance to appear on Monday and
notified the officers that he should be glad
to hear what they had to say then,
