Compelled to Fight a Way Through
Twenty-Five Thousand People Before
Speaker Is Able to Enter the Hall.
Man in Audience HeckIes Former
President by Constant Interruptions.
New York, Oct. 22.-One of the
most strenuous incidents of Colonel
Roosevelt's present stumping cam.
paign occurred when he stopped at
hall in the upper East Side for brief
address. His appearance caused a
riot, so enthusiastic were his auditors.
Fully $4,000 persons had gathered in
the narrow streets and through these
the police had literally to fight way
for the colonel's automobile.
When he tried to alight for dash
into the hall the crowd surged about
him and only a football rush, with fit.
ty stalwart police reserves assisting,
landed him inside the doors. There he
had to rest several minutes to regain
his breath before going on the plat
form.
On the way back to the automobile
an even larger crowd cheered and ap-
plauded, but the police had been able
to clear narrow lane, through which
he ran to the car.
BUSTED and hustled as he was the

from the persistent Interruptions of, a
man in an audience which he ad-
dressed earlier in the evening. The
man insisted on his right to ask ques-

Mr.. Roosevelt, waving his arms to

floor. 'You went to Pittsburg on the
Fourth of July before that message
and, speaking to 100000 people, you
told them that special legislation to
control the trusts had become a neces-

continent, built up our commerce, our
manufactures and our industries

"You have asked your question, now

M'CRBARY BOOM
FOR GOVERNOR
INDICATIONS ARE THAT LAW
RENEE WAS BEATING THE
BUSHES FOR HIM.

II is believed that the purpose OF
the visit to Henry II. Lawrence,
chairman of the First District con-
gressional Democratic committee,
last week was not so much in the
interest of his prospective candida
cy for the state senate, as to line up
the country press for former Sena-
tor James Il. McCreary for the
Democratic nomination as governor.
Several weeks ago General Lawrence
in his paper. the Cadiz Record. adyo-
Gated Senator McCreary as the logi-
cal candidate for the leadership OF
the Democratic party in the next
gubernatorial race.
Since his visit over the western
part of the state several of the
country newspapers have come out
with booms for McCreary. and 1t is
said that his workers are out in all
fields in the state building up the
fences.

The Alaska Syndicate.

The Balhnger investigating COM
mittee issued am order TO produce the
documentary evidence to find IL Alas
kan wealth is in the hands of the
|Guggenheims and J. p. Morgan. Gug-
genheim documents were exam med
this morning.
The order issued today by the Ball
niger investigators indicates that the
first apparent object OF the investiga-
ton may be lost sight of and be SUI
perseded in public interest by d.
rect inquiry into the question of
whether the entire wealth of Alaska
has fallen into plutocratic hands. The
committee has before II several doc
uments, showing the exact agree
ments between Cunningham. and the
'Guggenheims, the price they paid for
their interest in these mines and
rate at which the company should
furnish Guggenheims with products.
Another document, dated several
months later, and sworn to by Clar-
ence Cunningham. bore the state
ment that the Guggenheims own no
interest whatsoever in the Cunning
ham claims.
Discrepancies between the two
statements were pointed out to Gar
field and he said in behalf of the Gug
genheims that the last statement was
false.

Either Immediate Work or
Test Of Constitutionality
will be Started.
New Police and Fire Alarm
System Accepted.
TAX LEVY ORDINANCE PASSES.

Probably the first step the city will
take in the way of street and sewer
improvements this year, since the
special 10-year assessment bond bills
have been made part of the Ken
lucky statutes. will be TO test the
constitutionallty OF both bills before
ordering any new work. This ex-
preston was made last night at a
meeting of the committee of the
whole, comprising both the upper and
lower boards Of the general council.
The matter of testing the new law
was suggested by Alderman p. III.
Stewart, and If there is any doubt in
the minds of the members of the gen
eral council as to the soundness OF
the bills, this proceeding will be in
stituted.
As a whole the bills are good
ones, in the opinion of City Solicitor
James Campbell, Jr. But. he admit
ted that one clause, taxing property
owners for sprinkllng. is unconstitu-
tional, as a similar case was tested
in the court OF appeals and so de-
clared in the case of the city of Ow-
ensboro VS.. Sweeney. Mr.. Campbell
said this clause became a part of the
law inadvertently but It may be ig-
nored, as 1t will have no effect on the
of the rest OF the
bill. He believes the property own
ers can be taxed by general tax but
not by special tax for sprinkling
the city streets. -
Another clause. about which the
city solicitor has his doubts, is that.
which provides that the bonds issued
by the city for street and sewer i'm
provements, shall be exempt from
taxation. Mr. Campbell said last
night he is OF the opinion that the
bonds can be taxed. These, how
ever, are small features of the two
bills, which are said to be the best
laws cities OF the state have ever
been given in the way of municipal
improvements.
A meeting of the committee of the
whole was called by Mayor Pro Tenn
Ed d. Hannah after the special meet
ings of the upper and lower boards
we're concluded. The meeting was
for the purpose of discussing the two
new bills that are now laws and to
have them explained to some who
were not entirely familiar with
them. Mr.. Hannah was made chair
man Of the meeting and City Solicitor
Campbell was requested to read the
two bills before the body.
Mr.. Campbell explained at the
start that both the sewer and street
Improvement bills imply the same
thing and are practically identical as
far as Improvements we're to be made
In order to shorten the meeting he
read the street bill only in its entire
ty. explaining as he proceeded. One
change in the law is that
part, which refers to the dedication
