CROWDS CURIOSITY TO SEE ALICE
LONGWORTH CAUSES GREAT CRUSH

Columbus. Ohio, Sept. 15.-With
panic threatening in a crowd estimated
at $4,000 people, surging about the
stand erected in the capitol grounds,
frantic to secure a glimpse of Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, President Roose-
velt's daughter, the exercises arranged
for the dedication of the Mckinley
monument were suddenly terminated
yesterday afternoon after the statue OF
the martyred president had been hur-
riedly unveiled by Mrs Longworth
The prompt action of the committee
on arrangements was regarded as most
fortunate, for the crowd was beyond
control and the shrieliing of women
and children caught in the crush was
rapidly working the crowd into fren'
zy. Many women were SO badly hurt
that they were removed in ambulaHces.
After the panic started. Governor Har-
ris tried to stop it, but the frantic peo-
pie paid no attention.
The commotion became so alarming
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-09-15

that those on the stand asked Mrs.
Longworth to come forward in the hope
that a glimpse of her might satisfy the
crowd She came TO the front of the
stand. it was seen that something must
be done, and it was decided to unveil
the statue at once. Mrs. Longworth
pulled the ribbon attached TO the wires
which drew the flags covering the stat
ne aside. A man hOisted on another's
shoulders grasped the ribbons and wire
and they were quickly torn into frag-
ments by relic seekers.
The crush was stopped for few mo-
ments. but it was soon renewed. and
Mrs. Longworth again came to the
front of the platform and bowed to-
the throng. Meanwhile, however, the
committee on arrangements had decid-
ed to defer the addresses at Memorial
hall tin this evening.
When the announcement was made,
the Longworths had an exciting ex-
perience in escaping the crowd.
