Beymer, were the other veterans
who reported yesterday. There
will be more later on. Al Crane,
who made good showing after

BULL MOOSE MEN
 DISTRIBUTE PAPERS, DEFY POLICE ORDER

Complaint has been made to Supt. Birmingham about the distribution of Bull Moose literature at the corner of State street and Howard avenue, to working men as 'hey come from the neighboring factories. John H. Flood, Henry B. Stoddard and John Taylor, all active Bull Moosers were the ones who went up against the strong arm of the law" They incurred the dis pleasure of the police by distributing The Progressive News, the weekly Haven. Supt Birmingham said this afternoon that he would take the matter up with the prosecuting attor- nev tomorrow, as soon as the official report is made from the West End precinct station.
 Flood e1d Stoddard whirled out to the corr CT or Howard avenue and State street this noon, in a big ma chine. loaded down with copies of the Progressive News. They began to dis tribute the papers to the working people who came from the neighboring factories and shops rjakt under the eyes of Daniel E. Walker, the Demo- cratic alderman from that district who hasn't any love for the Roosevelt movement.
 Previous difficulties had led the Bull Moosers to anticipate trouble and they went 70 distribute the papers to- day. While they were handing out the papers a police officer approach ed from the West End precinct sta- ton and informed MT. Flood that the Bull Moosers would have to stop MT Flood replied that he believed he was within his legal rights and would not stop. The officer argued that he had been instructed to arrest the men giving them out, if they didn't stop.
