CAUSED A CLASH.
Echo of the Presidents Visit to
New Orleans.
Row Between Federal and City
Authorities
TAKEN TO WASHINGTON
Complaint Formally Called for
by Secretary Metcalf.
Trouble Grew Out of Loading
the Steamer Comus.

New Orleans. La, Nov. IA clash be-
tween city and federal authorities dur
ing the visit of President Roosevelt here
last week became known today through
charges preferred against the local chief
of police by John A. Cotter. a super
vising inspector of the steamboat in
spection service. From these charges,
which are contained in a report for
warded to the department Of commerce
and labor, it appears that the police OBJ
jected to federal supervision of the num-
ber of passengers to be permitted on the
Comus, the vessel chartered to take the
president and prominent citizens on a
river excursion.
While Mr.. Cotter was counting the
passengers getting aboard, the police
demanded his authority. He showed his
badge. but the chief OF police ordered
his arrest and he was taken to The out
skirts of the crowd and released. Upon
an attempt to resume his duties, which
are prescribed by law, it is said he was
again interfered with and the boat was
crowded far beyond government regula-
tions. 1t is understood here that the
complaint was formally called for by
Secretary A1etcalf and some proceeding
will be begun against the city authori-
ties.

bled at the embassy gates to catch a
glimpse of the royal visitor who re-
turned their respectful greeting with a
salute as he dashed past in the sixty

by Sir Mortimer. The ride took in
practically all Of Washington and was

HERRICK BY 1885,.
Chairman Dick Submits Final Figures
on Tuesdays Voting.

Columbus, O., Nov. 4.-Chairman
Charles Dick today gave out the fol-
lowing ante-election prediction:
"Based upon the final poll report
ed by the county chairmen from the
eighty eight counties of the state,
every doubtful vote not having been
counted against us and every estimate
made up on the most conservative
lines, a net Republican plurality Of
83951 is shown for Governor Her
rick.
I'm my experience covering many
state campaigns, actual Republican
pluraIities have exceeded rather than
fallen below results indicated by the
poll and I have every confidence that
this will be the case at the election
next Tuesday
'sThe same reports also justify the
claim that the legislature will be
strongly Republican in both
branches"

How Man With Most Newspapers
Might Become President.

Cleveland. Nov. 4.-secretary of the
Treasury Shaw win deliver a campaign
address here tonight That the secre-

made plain in an authorized interview
given out during the day.
He came as a Republican, he said,
to discuss the principles of the Re
publican party.
IF voting for men instead of meas
ures becomes popular" concluded Mr..
Shaw, then the man most fluent in
speech or the man who has the most
newspapers will probably be the next
president of the United States and un-
less the Republicans of Ohio desire
this logical, if not inevitable. result
they should not take the lead in OBJ
hterating party lines"

ing Willow park.
The ladies composing the West Side
Forestry club stand sponsor for VIII
low park which is a triangular plat
of grOunt at the intersection of VIII
low avenue and Sixth street. The pro-
posed park has been an unsightly
piece of unusued ground lying tenant
less and idle fer a number of years.
At the solicitation of the ladies COM
posing the West SIDE Grub, the city
council created a benefit district last
spring composed of the property own
ers of the neighborhood of the pro-
posed park. The ladies have taken
an active interest in city improvement.
and this is one of the projects which
they are working on at the present
time.
Money raised by the sale of the
chrysanthemums and the admissions
for the show next week, will go into
a fund already started for the purpose
of improving the park. The tract will
be graded, soWn to grass, shrubs and
flowers planted and the members

son next year to be in financial shape
to go ahead with the work without
being handicapped for want of funds.
The display of chrysanthemums
promises to be the largest and finest
exhibition of the kind ever seen in
the city as the flowers are all home
grown and are of the finest varieties
and have been groomed all through
the hot summer, Watered by hand and
cared for as the children of the family,
so that when the great day should
come they would be placed on exhi-
bition that they be the de luxe of the
chrysanthemum world The NUNS"
have responded to the attention that
has been bestowed upon them and
there are big white fellows with their
yellow companions VINO should every
one of them be prize winners at any
show on earth.
The show will be we'll worth the
small price of admission which will be
charged and the cause is certainly a
worthy one as all Of the money made
by the club viii be spent in beautify-
ing the city and making Topeka a
more pleasant place in which to live.
