TO enter the Capitol grounds without o
ticket OF admission TO the grandstand
Boy Scouts from Baltimore reinforced
the ropes. which were strung on the
far side OF the Capitol driyeways, and
with the aid OF few mounted police
the boys were quite equal TO the situa-

thrust his long pole across his way and
held him back, more by moral force
than physical strength.
a large number of Secret Service
men and detectives were stationed di-
rectly in front of the Presidents plat
form. Down the length OF Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue members of the National
Guard from New York guarded the road
for the President and Mrs. Wilson as

known TO have appeared In the crowd
with suffrage insignia. This was
Mrs. J. s. Muller, of Monticello. n. V,
who insisted on wearing n purple, yell
