NOOSETTE WINS BATTLE.
Nary DOnneIIy'S Guns Silence
Socialist Destroyer.
CROWD FOLLOWS VICTOR
One o'clock Whistle Blows and
Workers Leave the Enemy
Without a Target,

serv battle was fought at the gates
- the Brooklyn navy yard Yesterday.
.nrsadnought Mary" Donnelly and Tor
,odo Boat" Timothy d. Healy, of the 18th
Assembly District, met and conquered
..rss hot little Socialist destroyers in the
essence Of a thousand cheering men.
The engagement was entirely unpremed-
..,ed-on the part Of the Bull Moose
.,se at least. Miss Donnelly got police
,srr,ii 10 hold a meeting at the navy yard
s,te AZ noon. ana went over there with
Wss Mary Drcior and Mr. Healy and
nudge fitzgerald, in an automobile, ex-
rsct,ng she said afterward, TO have a
,aaI nice, peaceful time telling the navy
v,rd BOYS how they must vote for I. R.
and the Progressive platform.
She could hardly believe her eyes when,
,s The be-bannered automobile halted in
,ba appointed spot, she beheld red flags
s,Ing from a platform not four feet
away and a hairy man addressing the
,anjdIy gathering crowd from the plat
form with two others giving out Social
istc literature.
"Pfhat does this mane?" demanded Mr..
usaly. Healy is the labor leader in the
Iab and his Irish blood brooks no en-
croachments.
"Pfhat for are yez wavin' rid flags on
the tirritory sv respectable Bull Moose
orators? How did yez get yer permit?
Are the police IN collision with the So
clslists7"
Laws MlnIons Indifferent.
He cast q dery eye on the two guar
dams OF the law who stood near, but
th.y were absorbed in a mongrei pup
that was chasing a cat over the way.
The Socialist orator kept right on. Men
and women" he roared, "the Bull Moose
party stole most OF the planks In its
platform from the Socialists. Theodore
Roosevelt is q coward"--
Call our leader a coward7' beloved
Judge Fitzgerald. The Judge is running
for ONCE on the Bull Moose ticket and
n. isn't going to have a fellow nominee
ipalted. Hes no coward, you scum of
the earthT'
The Socialist heatedly retorted that
Judge Fitzgerald was nothing but liar.
He wanted to say more, but the judge
who had the louder voice, promptly bore
him down.
IF 1t wasn't that don't want to break
the law, and II the officers of the law
weren't here" he shrieked. I'D get down
and beat you up in way that would
show you who's a coward and liar"
The colonel is a hayro." almost soooed
Mr.. Healy. Il fought wild him on San
Juan Hill, an saw his glorious deeds, an
is II for that crature av the rid flag to
trajuce him, gintlemen," he appealed TO
the crowd. Those fellows would disthroy
your churches, an drag Ould Glory In the
dust Don't listen 10 them"
BY this time the Judge and the Socialist
both Of whom had kept right on talking.
were nearly choking with rage, and Mr..
Healy, who IS pretty rosy anyhow. re-
sembled an autumn sunset The navy
yard workmen were pouring out, along
with some guards and marines, and the
crowd numbered nearly a thousand. our
Mary" felt that II was time for her TO
assume command. She pulled Mr.. Healy's
coat tail and Judge FItzgerald's coat tall
a bandanna flag in either hand.
Gentleman" she said politely to the
frothing Socialist, we have always heard
how chivalrous the Socialists are 10 the
ladies' Now, won't you show your ch!v-
airy by letting me talk FIVE minutes"
Mary Gets the Crowd.
Jaw. sure! Give the lady five minutes"
yelled the crowd
And the Socialist did. He really couldn't
help doing It. as Miss Donnelly kept on
talking She said, among other things
that she was surprised to see crowd
OF workmen standing still and listening
while creature Ike the one on that red
flag platform threw dirt on a great ana
good man like Theodore Roosevelt.
I've no use for the Socialists" she
cried. I'm no believer in free love. I'm
sorry to see our American flag trailed In
the dust. Don't be deceived into voting
for the Socialists. II they're elected
they'll fix bayonets and charge the
women. Now, men, don't be misled by
me. Read the Progressive platform ana
vote for Theodore Roosevelt. And now
give three cheers for Roosevelt"
And the crowd gave them, with MISS
Donnelly waving her bandanna flags ana
leading them on.
And the thing for you to do" she ad-
!ured them, as the automobile prepared
10 depart, rs 20 leave this place the
minute we do, and let those Socialists
talk to hot air"
And whether II was because they
wanted to, or whether II was because the
one o'clock whistle was calling them back
10 work, the crowd did as Miss Donnelly
