Riding Academy.
MANY THOUSANDS PRESENT

Speakers OF Prominence Lift Their voices
in Protest Against the Alleged Fraud

--latest Returns From Ohio Show
Herrick Only Was Beaten.
New York City.-More than 5000
persons gathered in Duriand's Riding
Academy to protest against alleged
Election Day frauds and to demand a
recount of the vote in behalf of Will
lam R. Hearst.
Many thousands more, unable to get
inside, surged about the building,
marched and conference.-the through
the streets, denounced Mayor McClel-
Ian and Charles f. Murphy, and de-
clared that W. r. Hearst would be
sworn in as Mayor Oh January 1.
Mr.. Hearst was not there, but every
mention of his name evoked cheers.
Speakers and audience referred to him
as 1.-THE next Mayor of New York." and
hats, canes and newspapers were
thrown into the air at the reading of a
letter from Mr.. Hearst declaring that
he had been honestly elected Mayor OF
the city.
William NJ. WINS. the defeated Re-
publican candidate, had been invited TO
preside, but he sent a letter of regret.
He counselled the utmost GOODNESS and
deliberations. and reminded the audi
ence that the fullest reliance could be
placed in the courts to do Justice.
On the stage were John Ford. candi-
date for Controller on Mr.. Hearsts
ticket. and J. G. Phelps Stokes, candi-
date for President of the Board of
Aldermen, who with his young wife
was cheered, but neither of the candi-
dates spoke.
Bird S. Coler, one of the successful
candidates on the Hearst ticket, did
speak, however. Mr.. Coler told his audi
tors that within the next few days they
would be startled by the exposure of
a high city official who, he said, paid
out the money which was used for
bribing voters on Election Day. He
declared that the facts were known.
Alexander s. Bacon, one of Mr..
Hearst's counsel, another of the speak
ers. declared that the stain Of slavery
had been wiped out by the blood of
our American heroes. and" he
shouted, 1--WE will wipe out the stain
from our city flag with blood. if neces-
s~ary-yes,. our blood, if necessary"
The audience roared when he declared
that the American people would rise
and crush every bone in the body of
the bosses.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Citizens Protective
League, an organization of which but
little seemed to be known.
Resolutions were adopted providing
for the appointment of a committee OF
seventy citizens by Chairman Holt to
collect evidence and prosecute the
frauds committed on Election Day.
Five thousand persons took part in
the outside demonstration.
The Hearst advisers hope that the
fight for a recount will be on before the
courts this week, and declare that if
mandamuses are denied by the Su-
preme Court an appeal will at once
be taken and that the matter will be
carried to the court of last resort if
necessary.

MURDERED HIS FAMILY
DR.: G. c. Haugh, of Dayton, Ohio
Accused of Awful Crime.
Said to Have Killed His Father, Mother
and Brother-Was q "Drug
Fiend."

Dayton, Ohio.-Dr. Oliver c. Haugh,
who is In Jail here charged with the
murder Of his mother, father and
brother, will probably be called to an
swer for a series of crimes.
Being in bad health and separated
from his wife, Dr.. Haugh was living
with his parents, eight miles from
Dayton. Neighbors saw the Haugh
home in flames the other day. When
they reached The house they found DR..
Haugh in the yard, having dragged
himself out, he said, just in time to
save his life. His father, mother and
brother were burned to death.
The fire occurred about 1 o'clock in
the morning. DR.. Haugh's account of
the affair was ircoherent, and the Cor
oner, after an Investigation, arrested
the physician.
DR.. Haugh is a drug fiend." and has
often been under treatment for the
morphine habit. 1t is stated that when
unable to procure the drug his cravings
have driven him into a frenzy, in
which he has been violent, and on re-
covering from the attack he has re-
tanned no memory of his acts.
1t is now charged that DR.. Haugh
poisoned his relatives and then set fire
to the house. His burns are not seri-
Gus, and it is known that a few days
before the fire he had obtained from
Cleveland a considerable quantity of
a poisonous drug.
1t has been discovered since his ar
rest that while practicing in Lima,
Ohio, last year DR.. Haugh was atten-
tive to Mrs. Mary Toohey, who died
mysteriously last April. Her brother
is said to have accused Haugh of re-
tanning unlawful possession of some
Of the woman's jeweiry.
1t is asserted that q woman with
whom DR.. Haugh was living in Toledo
died suddenly and mySteriously and
that afterward he went to Chicago,
ILL.,, where he married a woman named
Patterson, who died under circum-
stances that suggested poisoning.
DR.. Haugh contracted the morphine
habit while a clerk in a drug store here
fifteen years ago. He graduated from
Louisville Medical College in 1892.
DR.. Haugh married Anna Eckley, of
this city. daughter Of a prominent
citizen. She entered suit for divorce
some time ago. alleging neglect, cruelty
and threats of violence toward herself
and his parents.
DR.. Haugh has been IN a seemingly
dazed condition since his arrest, indif-
ferent to the death of his relatives or
the charges pending against him. His
only desire is for the daily dose OF
morphine allowed him.
The prisoner was arraigned before
Magistrate Terry on the charge of
numbering his father and brother. He
was remanded to Jail to await the ac-
ton Of the Grand Jury.
