CONGRESSMAN Cooks Protest.

Denver-Congressma George W..
Cook EVIDENTLY has no intention OF
letting his protest against the Presi-
dents policy in land fraud cases rest
with his recent letter upon that sub
ject. In q communication to the Den
yer Chamber of Commerce he states
that he has sent copies OF his now-fa-
nous epistle to every senator and rep
resentative of Congress, to the Presi-
dent, the vice president. the speaker,
the justice Of the Supreme Court, mem
bers Of the Cabinet, heads OF all gov
ernmental bureaus and to 254 repre-
sentatives in Washington Of papers
throughout the entire country. To this
he adds:
"By misrepresentation by the ad-
ministration have been forced on the
firing line" where I shall remain so
long as these malicious attacks on in
nocent men in my state shall con-
tinue."

The stuyvesants In America.

American families may not be of
long duration measured by the stand
ard which can be applied to some old
world houses. Still. the death OF a
lineal descendant of Peter Stuyvesant,
and one of the few who lived to see
the twentieth century, recalls some
stirring and swiftly-made history.
Robert Stuyvesant, who has been
gathered to his Dutch ancestors, his
bones to be laid away in a family
vault where many OF the kindred dust
repose. was a link between present
and past and one whose life suggests
. marvellous contrast between the past
and present of the city that was his
home. Peter Stuyvesant. the last
Dutch governor OF New Amsterdam,
was strong and vigorous character.
with a peopery disposition that kept
him in bot water with many OF his
contemporaries. including the sturdy
Dutch p~troons who then controlled
good part of this section OF the
country. But unquestionably he left
an impress on his times, and the name
TO tho present day carries with It dis
Unction and honor.

Tho sensations of the new cadet

landing. he finally reaches the plain
those first sensations linger long
while. There are two West Points
the actual West Point and the over
arching, spiritual one, Of which the
cadet only becomes conscious about
the time he graduates, writes Gen.
Norris Schaff in Atlantic Monthly.
The determinate West Point that is
TO be his master for four years, and
the shaper of his destiny, meets him
at the top of the slope with ominous
silence. He hears no voice, he sees
no portentous figure; but there is COM
municated in some way. through some
medium, the presence of an invisible
authority. cold. inexorable and re-
isntless. Time never wears away this
first feeling; 1t comes back to every
graduate on returning to West Point.

they may. And perhaps 1t is just as
well that it be so; that there is one
place left in our country where van

frequent arrogance OF speculative and

SOCIALISTS
ARRESTED
MARCH OF UNEMPLOYED IN CHI
cAGo CLASHES WITH
POLICE.
LIVELY FIGHT ENSUEs
LEADER OF PARADE KNOCKED
DOWN AND TAKEN TO
JAIL.

Chicago.-An attempt of Socialists
to bring about march OF the unem
ployed" through the downtown streets
Thursday resulted in two sharp fights
with the police in which the would-be
marchers were routed after a number
of men had been dubbed.
DR.. BENJAMIN L. Reitman, the orig
inator of the plan to march through
the streets, and two of his followers
were arrested after Reitman had been
knocked down for resisting the officers
For several days Reitman, who Is a
Socialist, had been making announce
ments of his intention to hold pa
rade of "hoboes" and unemployed
despite the warning given him by Chief
OF Police Chippy that no march
through the streets would be per
mitted.
Reitman continued to defy the au'
thorities, and thousands of circulars
were distributed through the down
town saloons and in the lodging house
district, calling upon all men out OF
work to assemble at z o'clock on the
lake front.
The chief Of police early in the day
reiterated his statement that the
march would not be permitted. and d.
rected that all the police force be held
in reserve at the various stations.
Just before o'clock crowd COM
menced to gather on Michigan avenue
In front of the Art institute, and in 4
few minutes a column, which was re-
ally a series of lunches OF four and
five men, formed and, headed by Reit'
man, started west on Adams street.
The marchers probably did not mum.
ber more than 200 at any time, but
many hundreds OF people followed
them along the sidewalks and added
to the confusion.
The police came on at the run, and
the column was instantly broken up.
Several men were knocked down. and
the police. not attempting to make ar
rests. used their clubs freely in quick
ening the footsteps OF the fleeing "un-
employed"
A number OF the marchers. after
getting away from the police. went
south in State street, attempting to
form another column as they went.
Reitman turned south in Clark
street, but was quickly caught and
placed under arrest. He showed some
fight. and was handled In vigorous
style. His hat was smashed by a blow
from a policemans club. he was
knocked down. and his clothing torn.
When he regained his feet he shouted:
Let me go; let me go. l know the
chief OF police"
He was at once taken to police head.
quarters. followed by crowd of 1000
people. After reaching the station
Reitman said:
Il was arrested without cause and
was treated brutally. Some policeman
hit me over the head with his club.
There would have been no disorder
II the police had allowed us to march
through the streets as we wished to
do. All We wanted was to go to the
city hall and demand that men out of
work be given employment by the
city"
