The "knocker" is usually frown-
ed upon as a most useless
person in our civilian make
up, and yet we have learned
to be thankful for his exist
ence. He is responsible for
much of the progress of the
world.
If our friends had their way
they would fill US with so
much of the goodnes of our
selves that we might get to
thinking that we are the
great "IT," and incapable of
making mistakes.
But, usually when we're getting
little "puffed up" along
comes the knocker, holds the
mirror up for US so we can
see the darker side and we're
brought to earth again de-
ternined to make a greater
effort than ever to correct
those things in which we are
weak.
The Store of Greater Service
has been improved by having
friends point out our mis-
takes and by the criticism of
the "knocker."

STORMS WALDORF ASTORIA.
Police Reserves Charge Crowd and
Several Persons are Injured.

New York, Feb. PA crowd OF
approximately 1900 persons, most
ly women, who had attended mass
meeting IN Madison Square to pro-
test against the high cost of food,
stormed the Waldorf Astoria hotel
late today, shouting they were starv-
ing and demanding to see Governor
Whitman. When Informed the gov
ernor was not there, but at another
hotel, they refused to believe 1t and
started a demonstration which ne
cessitated the calling out of police
reserves 10 disperse them. Several
persons were injured in the disorder
that followed. Four arrests were
made.
One of the speakers at the Madl-
son Square meeting had asked how
many persons would be willing to go
to the governors hotel. Several IN
the crowd who took this as signal
TO march, started away and soon an
excited throng was moving up Madi-
son avenue. At Thirty-second street
the marchers turned into Fifth ave-
nue., One man, pointing at an auto
mobile. shouted that no one had a

THE situation," District Attorney
Swami declared tonight, "shoWs
there is a premium put on specula-
tion and gambling in the necessaries
of life"
He added that he did not propose
to turn over to the federal authorl-
ties the information gained by his
staff until he had learned whether
New York county was entitled to any
seizures that might be made and al
so if he has authority to prosecute
those gambling in foodstuffs.
Although seventy-two carloads OF
potatoes were in the yards of one
railroad company here today, only
eleven carloads were unloaded, the
district attorneys investigators re-
ported. Similar conditions, they
said. had existed here for several
days past.
Agents of the federal department
of justice visited Jersey City today
and inspected three large cold stor-
age plants there said to be filled with
provisions of all kinds. They also
examined the books of the companies,
but gave no intimation of the pur-
pose of their visit.

ers were starving. The machine was
stopped and instantly several persons
boarded the running board and tried
to drag the owner from the car. Po-
licemen drove away his assailants.
Unable to Quiet Crowd.
Three policemen who tried to turn
the marchers away from the Waldorf
Astoria, were swept aside. Although
reinforced soon afterwards by a num-
Der of porters and other employees of
the hotel, they were unable to quiet
the crowd. Traffic was blocked in all
directions. One woman cried:
1--WE want to see the governor.
We want bread. Our babies are
starving"
The reserves arrived while she
was speaking and formed line in
front of the hotel entrance. They
vainly argued with the crowd and
finally were forced to charge. One
woman later was found unconscious
in the street, where it was said, she
had been knocked down.
While the police were dispensing
the crowd in front of the Waldorf
Astoria a committee which had been
appointed at the Madison Square
meeting called on Governor Whit
man at the Hotel st. Regis. Several
hundred of those who participated
in the demonstration at the Waldorf
Astoria assembled in the front of the
St. Regis. The governor received

the committte in one of the parlors
of the hotel and told them he would
support Mayor Mitchell and the other
city authorities in every way possi-
Bile in relieving the situation.
Count on the Governor.
You can count on the governor
and the State legislature to help to
their fullest capacity he said.
IF the corporation counsel should
draft a bill which would meet your
approval and which would be accept
able to the legislature, can you tell
US just how quickly the city would
be enabled to use the money to pur-
chase food?" the governor was asked
by one of the committee in reference
to possible appropriation by the city.
The bill would go in Monday
night replied the governor, "and
ought to come out signed and avail
able to the city by Wednesday"
The governor told the committee
he was afraid things are too high,
adding also that he was 'afraid they
are going higher.
Such condition., he said,
'probably will prevail as long as
there is such a foreign demand for
our victuals. But We will do the best
we can in the legislature to help the
city relieve it's needs.
There was no music and neither
shouting nor hooting, as the march
ers, bearing only few signs and

Marched Quietly.
Nor was there any disorder when
the women reached Madison Square.
Only a few policemen were there, but
reserves were held at nearby sta
tions. The women marched quietly
to places assigned them by those in
charge of the meeting. Occasionally
there was cheering when the
speeches began, some of which were
in foreign languages. One of the
first to address the crowd was Adolph
Blumenstein, thirteen-year-old
school boy.
I'VE want the high cost of living
