she attempted to run into the yard the
fellow struck her in the head with q

PRESIDENT DESIdNATES NOVEMBER 30
AS THANKSGIVING.

a
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 The proclama-
tion Of President Roosevelt, designating
Thursday, November 30, as Thanksgiving
day, was issued this afternoon. Is a.
follows
By the President Of the United States
Of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
when nearly three centuries age the
first pilgrims came to this country, which
has now become the great republic. they
fronted not only hardship and prlvation,
but terrible risk OF their lives. In thoss
grim years the custom grew Of setting apart
ole day in each year for a special service Of
thanksgiving to the Almighty for ptessry-
ing the people through the changing sea
sons.
The custom has now become national
and hallowed by immemorial usage. We
live in easier aud more plentiful times than
our forefathers, the men who, with rugged
strength, faced the rugged days; and yet
the dangers to national life are just as great
now as at any previous time in our history.
1t is eminently fitting that once year our
people should separate day for than ks
time that they express their thankfnlness
for the abundant mercies received, should
manfully acknowledge their shortcomings
and pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome them.
During the past year We haye been
blessed with bountiful crops Our business
prosperity has been great. No other peo-
pie has ever stood on as high a level of
material well-being as ours now stands.
We are not threatened by foes fsnm with
out The foes from whom we should pray
to be delivered are our own passions, appe-
titles and foIlies; and against these there il
always need that we should war.
Therefore, now set apart Thursday
the thirtieth day of this November, as
day Of thanksgiving for blessings Of the
past and Of prayer for She future, and on /,
that day ask that throughout the land
the people gather in their homes and places
of wor hip and in rendering thanks unto
the Most High for the manifold blessings
Of the past year, oonsecrate themselves to q
life of cleanliness, honor and wisdom. so
that this nation may do its allotted on the
earth in manner worthy Of those who
founded it, and of those who preserved il.
In witness whereof. haye hereunto SET
my hand and caused the seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington, this
second day Of November, in the year Of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
five, and Of the independence Of the United
States the one hundred and thirtieth.

500 ARRESTS IN PHILADELPHIA
Police Quickly Put Down Disturb
ances at the Polls.

ances at the Polls.
Philadelphia, Nov. s. Contrary to
general expectation, there was no
great or very serious disturbance in
the city There were, however, many
small scrimmages at polling places,
especially in the more thickly settled
words where the Republican organiza-
tion is very strong and where the
City Party put up a most determined
fight. The police department was at
all times the master of the situation.
and wherever trouble was started 1t
was quickly stopped. Some Of these
disturbances blossomed into small
riots, but after the smoke had cleared
away it was found that no one was
fatally wounded
The patrolmen assigned to the polls
carried lists of names of illegal voters.
These lists were handed to the cleo
tion officers, who were warned not to
permit any one to vote on the names.
The policemen were also held respon-
sible If an illegal vote was cast. Every
ballot box had to be opened for the
policemans inspection before voting
began.
The number of arrests for election
frauds was upwards of about 500. Pc.
lice magistrates were on duty in all
parts of the city giving the prisoners
hearings. The scene at the central
police station at the city hall was
without precedent More than 200
prisoners were given hearings there
for alleged fraud against the ballot All
day several hundred persons were
gathered in the courtyard watching
the prisoners arrive in wagon loads
Every batch OF prisoners were hissed
city hall The hearing room was crowd
ed all day with party workers, lawyers,
bondsmen and others. AS quickly as
prisoner was brought in he would
be given an immediate hearing, held
in bail for a further hearing, and
promptly released by waiting bonds
man. The released men were then or
dered back to their respective cleo
tissa divisions
among the Hfi0re prominent men ar
rested were Soi.ator William II. Key
sey, Hoor leader of the state senate,
who was charged with interfering with
a voter, and John S. Hammond, deputy
coroner, who was accused of vouching
for an Illegal voter. A deputy sheriff
was arrested on the charge Of stuhing
a ballot box while the election officers
were not looking. More than 80 per
cent. of those arrested were men
claiming to be workers OF the Repub-
lican organization.
