There is a great deal of human ma
unions, being human, sometimes do
fool things but that until they went
wrong he would be with them"
At this point the colonel was re-
minded of his Calumet engagement
and made his peroration.
Friends, ask you to stand with me
because we have not been converted
overnight We have a platform that
is the greatest and most helpful do
cument ever devised since the days of
Abraham Lincoln. / ask you to stand
with us for fair dealing. | would like
to give you another hour / thought

life but began this day with two
speeches before breakfast and am end
ing 1t with two after dinner. l am glad
to have seen you all, good night and
good bye"
The colonel waved his arms I'm fare
WELL dashed for his train and the
crowd followed.
A Very Orderly Crowd.
The immense gathering at the Am
phidrome last night was most orderly.
Chief Voetsch had sworn in the IS
members of the fire department as
extra policemen and he was also as
sisted by the Spanish War veterans
in uniform. There was never an oc-
| casion for the exercise of authority.
Chief Voetsch announced early in the
evening that there should be mo
( smoking because of the danger of fire
and out of courtesy to the women
present. and the rule was obeyed alb
solutely.
| In the crush four persons tainted,
one of them woman. They were
taken out of the building by the police
and only those Immediately in the
neighborhood of each incident knew 1t
had occurred.
Colonel Is HeckIed.
| Marquette, Mich, oct. 10.-The most;
| important incident OF the Roosevelt
meeting in Marquette was an inter

and John Van Evera. At the begin
ming of the colonel's address here he
laid particular stress upon two I'M
portant features of the bull moose
platform, the injunction not to steal
and the injunction not to bear false
witness and when Colonel Roosevelt
accused Congressman Young of repre-

promptly asked the colonel to observe
his own injunction and tell the truth
When Mr.. Van Evera stated that the
colonel had told two lies in the first
five minutes of his address the crowd
jeered Roosevelt.
ton here when the Roosevelt parloI
cars, attached to the regular train
reached this city. There was an unus-
ually large number of children and wo-
men in the crowd. The address deliv-
cred was practically the same as that
given at Saginaw.
When the colonel made his usual
attack on corporations he included the
steel corporation and at this the in
terruption by Mr.. Van Evera took
place. Colonel Roosevelt said:
1.-THE steel trust is here in Marquette
county. and its attorney, the con-
gresham, against whom"
4 A voice: THAT is not true"
Here w. j. Macdonald INTERCEPTED
"Mr. Yoing is an ex-attorney of the
steel trust and his law partner is at
torney for the Steel trust now"
Mr.. Roosevelt resumed:
Il suppose, sir. that you approve OF
the theft at Chicago. You stand FOL
theft, for lying and false witness bear
ing. Another thing, will give you a
chance to deny: that every paper in
fuenced by the Steel corporation in
Marquette county and by the stand
patters is against us in this county
I don't know who John Van Evera is
but l am told that you represent the
coal trust"
Mr.. Van Evera: 81 am not afraid of
a bull moose"
Roosevelt: at is perfectly natural
that you should object to hearing the
truth told about the side you are cham
pioning; and II is perfectly natural
that you should come here to try to
interrupt a meeting in which am ex-
posing the falsity and misrepresenta-
ton of your side
Mr.. Van Evera: "Then tell the
truth"
Roosevelt: 81 understand. sir, that
am telling you the truth: / speak
here from the information given me
but when | speak of the Chicago con-
vention of last June, / speak of what
know. You are supporting the re-
ceivers of stolen goods and the man
engaged i'm the theft: and If you are a
man of intelligence and education. you
are acting as dishonorably as If You
were supporting a man who had stolen
a purse. Now you ask to hear the
truth. Now you have heard It,"
Short stops were made at Ishpem-
ing and Negaumee where crowds gath
cred at the station.
Colonel Roosevelt began yesterday
with two speeches before breakfast. on
