ROUGHLY HANDLED
Roosevelt Men Felled In Chicago Riot
Banners Seized and Tramplcd

Chicago, June S.-Convention hos
tilities in the Michigan avenue sector
centered last night on the lobby of the
Congress hotel. Here the Roosevelt
anG Sherman booster armies met IN a
continuation CT their battle Of the
nlPht before and staged half hour
fight which made the previous conflict
look like pacifst sewing circle.
The Roosevelt clans, with three I.
r. banners were holding forth in the
Corridors when a squat of enthusiasts
wearing Big Bill hats and Sherman
badges drove through the crowds at
the Congress street entrance. Some
OF the Big Bill" men were negroes

packed mob

carried was tugged, pulled, and push
ed from side to side for ten minutes.
trampled under foot.
1t was 8 o'clock when the melee
started. AT 9:10 a sortie was made for
the second banner, and ten minutes
later it. too, was captured. Then the
Roosevelt forces rallied around the
! third gonfalon. Clothes were torn
and heads pounded as the fighters
surged back and forth and mauled each
other. By $50 the third banner was
on the floor and they were contending
| for the fragments.
Sherman Crowd Draws Back.
| These destroyed, the Sherman crowd
pulled away and grouped about its
band in the center of the lobby. House
| detectives sent in call for the police
and II men came from the Harrison
street station. A generous display of
tin stars by Chicagoans among the
Sherman men quelled any great activ-
| ity on the coopers' part, but the house
detectives told the band to withdraw
to the Sherman quarters or get out
and after time they yielded.
Before this every Roosevelt litho-
graph on the pillars had been torn
down. The lobby was SO tightly pack
ed that guests could not reach the key
clerk, and women patrons telephoned
the clerks most of the evening, de-
manding that officers meet them at the
doors and escort them to their rooms

NO GARBAGE ON THE
ROOF OF BUILDING

Owner Of the livery stable referred
to in council meeting Monday evening
in connection with the alley cleanup
campaign states that while there were
bottles and tin cans, dumped by tenants
of the second floor above. on the roof
of the back of the building, there was
no garbage there and there never had
been anything of this sort. His state
ment is borne out by the report OF the
street vigilance department of the civic
department of Rock Island Woman S
club, which was submitted to the coun-
ell. The owner feels that an injustice
has been done, inasmuch as he would
not tolerate using the roof of his build
ing for any sort of filth. and he took
steps, as soon as the matter was called
to his attention, to have the bottles and
cans removed.
