the reserves from several of his precincts

order in the streets surrounding the
building. He put all the ticket holders
in line and sent the others to Broadway,
r block away from the entrance. Neither
he nor the men under him lost their
heads. They did not push>Qr shove the
crowd back. They ordered the thou
sands to move away and all obeyed the
commands. AS soon as there were seats
or standing room available inside those
holding tickets were admitted. To pre-
vent a wild rush for seats in the build
