/. more Hill With a Bull
Dog Revolver
Wanted President to Order
Out Troops to Suppress
a Bad Man

Oyster Bay, Sept. IA crank, arm
ed with an antiquated "bull dog re-
volver, was caught near the 'presi-
dents house at Sycamore Hill today
by a secret service agent. The man
described himself as John Coughlin,
a detective, and when stopped by the
secret service men, presented card
upon which was inscribed his name
and the word OFFICER"
He said that he had come to ask
the president to order out 10000
troops to watch a young man who had
been terrorizing Boston. Coughlin is
supposed to have reached Oyster Bay
on the 1919 train. He walked the
three miles to Sycamore Hill, appear
ing in the grounds shortly after 2
o'clock. One of the rules for visitors
at Sycamore Hill is that no one shall
come on foot, so when Secret Service
Agent Adams caught sight of Coughlin
he guessed something was wrong. He
will be examined as to his sanity.

artillery kept up terrible fire in the

Thousands Sleep in Tents
and Are Fed by Surround
ing Towns

Hibbing, Mimi, Sept. All fur
Their danger from forest fires has
passed and the people are beginning
to return to Chisholm. Already the
plans have been made to rebuild the
town and at town meeting today
it was decided to establish a fire line.
The fire refugees will be amply
provided for as Duluth has already
raised a fund of over $4,000 for the
sufferers, meanwhile Governor john
son and the mayors of st. Paul and
Minneapolis have issued proclama-
lions asking Immediately for help for
Chisholm.
The relief committee at Chisholm
today fed 5000 people, most of whom
are sleeping in tents. The people of
Hibbing fed 5000 people today and
provided sleeping quarters for 1000.
The Duluth, Messaba and Northern
railway, took three carloads of sup
plies, including food, tents, cots,
clothing and other provisions.
There were no deaths caused by the
fire. Mayor o'Neal tonight estimated
that the loss of timber interests will

Get Control Of Meeting Of
Unemployed in New York
Labor Day
Red Flags Are Waved, lncen-
diary Speeches Made and
Big Row Follows
Police Run in Ber'kI.mIlain, En-
ma Goldman and Other
Notable Anarchists

New York, N. Y, Sept. An at
tempt was made today to turn the
meeting of unemployed working men
into an Anarchist demonstration and
for half an hour the meeting hall in
Cooper Union, where the meeting
took place, was a scene of wild ex-
element during which red flags were
raised, police denounced and inced-
larry speeches made.
Alexander Berkman, Anarchist who
few years ago shot Henry G. Frick,
the steel company official during the
Homestead strike in Pennsylvania,
was dragged from the hall and lock-
ed UP by the police.
A young woman who gave her name
as Mary Smith, ana who stood by
Berkman, was also arrested, and En-
ma Goldman, the recognized leader OF
the "Reds" in this country, was made
to leave the hall.
Not since the disturbing scenes fol-
lowing the meeting held in Grand
Central place to celebrate the ae-
quital of VIM. D. Haywood, accused
of the murder of Ex-Governor Steun-
enberg of Idaho, has the Anarchistic
element raised such disturbance
here.
Only the stern measures adopted
by the police prevented the meeting
from being an out and out Anarch-
istic affair, although the unemploy-
ed and Brotherhood Welfare associa,
ton, which planned the meeting, had
no other intention than to present it's
claim that there are thousands idle
here.

Small fires are blazing north of

conscious of the fact that if the SUI

the metropolis of the range, will al
so go up in smoke. Brooklyn is
about half mile south of the resi-
