New York. Sept 26.-An Italian Of
huge proportion with swarthy face
and a bandana handkerchief around
his neck, created a wild scene in
Washington Square park today when
he tossed his hat in the air and draw
ing a big revolver from his pocket be-
gan to shoot the head piece full of
holes. The park was filed with loung-
ers at the time and the sight of the
brigand like figure with the Blazing
weapon in his hand sent them scurry-
ing in every direction. The man paid
not the slightest attention to his sur
roundings, however, and when the hat
riddled with bullets had fallen to the
ground he calmly tossed 1t in the air
again and renewed the fusllade. The
gun had been twice emptied when
two policemen rushed to the park.
When the Italian saw the officers he
darted away like a deer bounding
over fences and other distractions
with an agility that soon left his pur-
suers far i'm the rear. He was finally
captured by policemen who had cir
cled around the park. He put up the
hardest kind of fight before he was
arrested. He was sent to the psyche
phatic ward of Bellevue hospital in a
straight Jacket

Minnesota and ending with mammoth
meetings at the Twin Cities tonight
An even dozen speeches We're made by
Mr.. Taft each to a decidedly larger
audience than could hear him, al
though there was a noticeable inn
provement in his voice during the day
In Iowa the train was accompanied by
local committeeman and congressman
from that state and in Minnesota the
speakers list was augmented by Sen
ator Clapp, Congressman Davis. Stew
ems. Tawney and Steenerson and Jake
Jacobson, republican candidate for
governor. beside a large number OF
local politicians. The big meeting
came at the end of the day at St
Paul. The candidate was taken to the
Auditorium. where he delivered q
brief speech on the general policies OF
the republican party. contrasting
them with those of the democratic
party. The Auditorium was crowded
to its capacity and the meeting was
one of great enthusiasm IN st. Pad
stop occupied more than an hour
when the journey to Minneapolis was
made. Here too. the meeting was held
in the Auditorium. the capacity OF
which was taxed to the utmost. Elab-
crate arrangements for escorts, bands
and automobiles were carried out in
each city and political enthusiasm was
at a high pitch.
At Faribault Mr.. Taft was invited
to take seat on a large elephant
which was lead to the rear of his
train. The animal was decorated with
the familiar &c. o. p" sign and was
ridden by what the candidate declared
to be "a very pretty girl"
IL would like mighty well to be ur
there with YOU" he told her while the
crowd laughed, but I know you have
not a derrick strong enough for me tc
mount. But just the same | believe

success"
The days program consisted OF
speeches at Cedar Rapids. Vinton
Waterloo, Cedar Falls and WaverIy
Junction, Iowa, and Albert Lee, Fart

"If l am elected, as | expect to be-
I shall have the greatest pleasure in
pledging in the presence of this grand
audience all the energies and abilities
of which | am capable to continue the
Roosevelt policies; to make business
honest and to keep every man within
the law, be he humble or rich" was
the climax of the speech he delivered
to the large audience in the Auditor
ium at St Paul
Through a misunderstanding, the
Taft train was delayed in the yards
at st. Paul one hour. This time was
utilized by the candidate in a private
conference with Frank j. Kellogg, the

Governor Curry returned to Santa
Fe yesterday from Washington, where
he went a week ago as the special rep
resentative of the sixteenth National
Irrigation congress. to present to Pres
ident Roosevelt the invitation of the
congress to attend its sessions. Al
though the president has determined
not to leave Washington at present,
and therefore declined the invitation
to attend the congress, the governors
visit was successful in the extreme and
of very great Importance to the con-
gress, since he was able to bring with
him the acceptances of a number Of
prominent men who had been invited
to attend and since several important
matters In connection with the CON
gress and the exposition were satisfac-
torlly adjusted by him during his brief
stay.
The governor will arrive in Albu-
querque on the California limited at
noon today and will Immediately take
up his residence in the Alvarado,
where he will remain until the close of
the exposition. Such part of the
equipment OF the executive office as
IS necessary 10 the transaction of busi
ness will come to Albuquerque, and
this city will be the headquarters of
the territorial government for the next
Two weeks. S48E
with Governdt Curry this morning
will be General j. Franklin Bell, chief
Of staff of the United States army,
who is coming to attend the sessions
of the Irrigation congress, and who
will be here until near the close of the
exposition. Governor Curry will meet
General Bell at Lamy this morning.

ATTENDANCE At CONGRESS
WILL BE RECORD-BREAKING


President Roosevelt will not leave
Washington at present and our invita-
ton that he attend the congress was
therefore declined said Governor
Curry replying to questions asked by
the Morning Journal over the tele-
phone last night. "The president,
however. takes very keen interest in
the work of the congress, which he
considers one of the most important
of the unofficial organizations in the
nation. He has written a letter eX-
pressing his regret at being unable to
attend, to Chairman Hopewell of the
board of control, and will send his
personal representative to Albuquer-
que.
General Bell will arrive in Albu-
querquc tomorrow and there are sew
eral other distinguished men who will
be among the visitors during the week.
1 met a number of very prominent
men who had expected to come to Al
buquerque, but the closing days of the
campaign make it difficult for almost
all of the men prominent in public
life to leave. 1t is reasonably certain,
however, that the attendance at the
congress will be more than satisfac-
tory. General Wright the secretary of
war, had expected to come, but it is
impossible for him to leave Washington
just Mt this time. General Bell how
ever. will have with him during the
week a number of distinguished army
men, and the war department will be
well represented The department, in
fact, has done everything in its power
to advance the success of the exposi-
tion. Every reasonable request we
have made has been granted. and we
have cause to feel very grateful for
the cordial cooperation that has been
accorded to us"
