Alarms and excursions violated the
placid halls Of the New York Carpet
Club IN tho Hotel Bresln yesterday.
COMBINATIONS, apologies, accusations
and denials sprouted there as thick as
the nap on a Brussels carpet. Strange
indeed were the hurrying in hot haste
and the turmoil and confusion, when
one considered that the source Of the
excitement was found In a newspaper
Of coma.ose Philadelphia when,
however, II was learned that Colonel
Roosevelt was the real cause Of the
furry. the fast flying threats OF i'm
parchment levelled at the clubs presi-

The facts Of the manner in which
the austerc name Of the Colonel drove
peaceful carpet dealers 10 the verge Of
Mysteries are as follows:
The Carpet Club Is giving q dinner
tonight. Several week. ago IL invited
the former President 70 address the
meeting. The Colonel replied, regret

ton. The club echoed his regret, and
there the matter rested until THE

was. 10 quote club members, "a lie
which smells to heaven"
This il the substance OF the above
mentioned odoriferous fslsehood. 1t
purports TO be an interview with
Charles Fritz, president of the Carpet
Club. and alleges that the Colonel was
obliged to refuse the invitation 10 the
dinner because a hundred members OF
the club refused to sit down at table
with him.

singers have been substituted for the
effervescent Colonel. Charging that the
Colonel WAS directly responsible for
the downfall Of the Republican party
in the last Presidential election and
the resulting Democratic sdministrs-
ton, the carpet men, numbering some
Of the wealthiest citizens OF the ma
ton, were ready to withdraw from the
organization rather than have him as
