Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 23.-Prob-
ably 10000 people were in danger of
injuries last evening at the central
station when President Roosevelt's
train rolled into the shed at 6:10
o'clock 1t was a surging mass OF
humanity that could not be con-
trolled. The demonstration was so
great that IT was practically impossi-
bic for the president to speak. He
made many attempts, but finally gave
up. He pleaded with the crowd to
have care for the women and children
he knew there was danger of a
panic, and did all in his power to
avert catastrophe
The cheering was almost incessant
and in the wild rush to get close to
the presidents car, women were car
ried off their feet and men hal TO
fight back the avalanche of humanity
When the train arrived, President
Roosevelt was riding upon tie rear
platform. The cheers that greeted
the arrival of his train began as soon
as the headlight cast its first rays
through the shed and were renewed
with greater volume when the presi-
dents well known face and figure
came into view.
The president glanced about, sizing
UP the crowd that surged and Cheered
without any indication that 1t would
cease. H. Clay Evans who WAS with
the president, held up his hand, beck
oning for silence, but he had as well
beckoned to a roaring cyclone.
"My fellow citizens" said Evans,
but his fellow citizens heard him not
He wanted to introduce the president
The crowd felt fully acquainted and
deemed no Introduction necessary.
Roosevelt tried his hand He
went to the right rail The people
in that direction cheered and the
president smiled. He leaned over
the rear rail Of his car and thousands
In that direction cheered. He looked
to the left and again a tumult Of ap-
plause greeted him He could but
smile and bow and wave his hand
No human voice could penetrate that
great roar OF cheers.
Presently 1t ceased for little
while. Then with all his vocal pow
err, Roosevelt said:
"My friends and fellow citizens be
as quiet as you can and I will try
to say few words in appreciation of
this magnificent ovation. This Is a
most enthusiastic crowd, and the
largest one that has greeted my party
in any city during this great trip
through the southland"
Then the crowd began to surge.
The president held up his hand,
Don't don't, don't, my good people,
remember there are women and chill
dren in the crowd. II is dangerous.
Try and be quiet"
The president tried vainly to speak.
The few sentences he had uttered
had consumed 10 minutes and at 6:S1
the train was signalled ahead. As
# rolled away, the president waved a
response to the cheers that followed
him as long as he was in sight.

RAIL WAY LOSES
S1OO,OOO BY FIRE

Milwaukee, Oct. 21.-The monster
planning mill and woodworking shop of
the West Milwaukee shops of the St.
Paul road in the Menomonee valley
was totally destroyed by fire last
night, the loss being over 100000
practically covered by insurance. AS
a result it is possible that the freight
traffic of the road will be seriously
crippled. The shop has been busy
turning out material for freight cars,
in order to keep up with the great
amount of grain and fuel which is NOV
ing at the present time. The origin
of the fire is believed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion In
the drying room on the second floor.

Tangier, Oct. 22.-The first conflict
between the forces of the rival sui

took place October II near Hettat,
according to reliable reports received
here from Mazagan, with the result
that a detachment of troops fighting
with Nulai Hafd, sultan of the south,
and consisting of eight regiments IN,

first division, defeated the forces OF
Abd-El-Aziz, sultan of the north, and
captured Caid Bushta Baddani, com

forces III the field who had with him
eight pieces of modern artillery.

During the night OF October IT,
some of Hafd's men made a third
raid on the custom house at Mazagan
and seized 100000 cartridges, and on
the following night they made a
fourth raid on the same place and
captured 100000 more cartridges.
The first division of the imperial
troops, consisting of 800 men, destined
for Mogador, arrived at Tangier yes
terday. Communication with Mogad-

Pretender to Protect Foreigners.
Officials at Mazagan have received
information that Hafd started Octo-
Der 10 for Gharab, the district be-
tween Tangier, Rabat and Fee. Hafid
has issued notice to the effect that
he guarantees protection to all for
eigners at Morocco City, inviting GER
tain foreigners who have gone to
Mazagan to return to Morocco City
and resume their business there, and
ordering his representatives to fur

in order to enable them to make the
return trip to the capital of the
south. Some of Raisuli's followers
have deserted him and came to Tan

justification OF the "unwritten law"

The idea that men who themselves
commit Infamous crimes against
some women, the wards OF other
men, may punish those who commit
crimes agaist the women whom Il
Is their special duty to protect, is a
monstrous perversion OF the theory
of organized society. It Is no less
usurpation OF the functions of So
ciety II the man who takes the adj
ministration OF the law upon himself
Is himself otherwise blameless, al
though his act is in a measure less
illogical
The last word OF the whole matter
is the word that was engraved upon
the tables OF stone. "Thou shalt
not kill" means thou" and thou
means everybody.-Kansas City
