NEW YORK
Madly Cheering Thousands Wel

MADISON SQUARE
GARDEN, New York, Oct.
28.— William H. Taft and
Charles E. Hughes were the
attractions at a great repub
lican mass meeting at Madi
son Square garden tonight.
The meeting was remarkable
in several respects. At
every mention of Governor
Hughes the auditorium re
sounded with cheering', and when
he entered the crowd cheered him
for 16 minutes without stopping.
Governor Hughes made a char
acteristic address, which was received
enthusiastically.
'jJSut it remained for Taft to inspire
JEi j ' greatest demonstration. For "19
minutes Madison Square garden trem
bJed with the stamping of feet and the
roar of voices. Taft tried to quell the
racket, but was powerless to do so.
When the noise ceased Taft began his
address. His voice was hoarse, but. the
crowd was satisfied merely to look at
him and hi* every^Word was cheered.
There were a number of other speak
ers before Taft and Hughes arrived,
but the throng, was impatient to hear
the presidential and the state nomi
nees. Their appearance at Madison
Square garden came at the end of
r day which was most remarkable.
Jmrlng: the day Taft addressed 14 meet
ings, ar.d Governor Hughes spoke at
3 5 gatherings. Then tonight' while the
Madison Square garden meeting was In
progress a giant parade was wending
Its way in a downpour of rain through
tlie heart of the city. ,
Houru before the doors of the garden
Trere thrown open long lines of ticket
holders had formed. It soon became ap
parent to the police that it would not
fcave spare enough for the crowds gath
ered outeide. At 7 o'clock a heavy rain
#et in and it was thought the throngs
■would dwindle, but this was a mistake.
The streets for blocks around were
alive with umbrellas and few persons
dpsert^d. Excellent police regulations
prevented any unseemly crowding when
the doors were opened.
CHEAT HIM. PACKED
By 8 o'clock the police had to bar
•< II except reserved seat ticket holders.
The galleries in the garden were deco
rated with American j flags, the dome
•was hidden by a American
rag and over the main entrance hung
a big blue Yale banner with portraits
of Taft and Sherman upon it, and in
the center "Yule '78," Judge Taft .hav
ing be»-n a graduate of that year
A band of 100 pieces kept the crowd
from becoming impatient during the
liqur or more that elapsed before Gen
eral Horace Porter, who presided,
called the meeting to order. When
Senator Henry Cabot Ix>dge appeared
on the platform the muEic was drowned
out by applause and cheering. Sena
tor Chauncey M. Depew and State
! Chairman Timothy I* Woodruff were
greeted with similar demonstrations.
General Porter was introduced at
S:3O o'clock and began by saying that
he had never attended such an enthu
siastic meeting. Then he attacked
William J. Bryan, saying that he was
suffering some political . and financial
delusions.
The chairman took . up the issue of
the guaranty of national bank deposits
and said that Bryan's political econ
omy was like trying to make the gov
ernment smoke 5 cent cigars when it
took 10 cents' . -worth of ■ matches, to
light them.
Presently General Porter prophesied
the election of Tart. At. the mention' of
the candidate's name there was pro
longed cheering, and when a moment
later the speaker mentioned the name
of Governor Hughes there was an out
burst that- lasted more than -two min
utes. Hundreds of small American
fi&gß were waved.
LODGE IS INTRODUCED
General Porter finally made his voice
heard and introduced Senator L*>dge,
•who Bald he would attempt only to say
Tiow Hie contest > against Governor
Sughes looked to outsiders. Said he:
-We see in . Governor Hughes a man
•who rendered a great public service in
the Insurance investigations. We see
in him an able , governor who has
labored fiercely and unceasingly for
•what h« believes to be right and in the
test and highest interests of the;peo
ple end of organized government. His
dffeut as we look at ft would mean a
blow at the best ideals of American
jiolitics."
As to Governor Hughes' opponent.
Senator Irfxlge said:
"The ~outsid<*rs know that Mr, Chan-
Jer wa» elected lieutenant governor, on
the Hearst ticket two years ago. . That
Is all we know about him.* If he has

SUFFRAGETTES IN
CHAINS STARTLE
THE COMMONS
Women Fastened to Rail in Gal
lery Are Ejected With
Great Difficulty-
Portions of Grill Work Removed
With the Unwelcome
Disturbers
Man Renews Furore by Boldly
Demanding Relief for the
Unemployed
LONDON, Oct. 28— Suffragette
disturbances have driven the police to
the unusual course . of . temporarily
closing- the strangers' and ladies' gal
leries in the house of commons. This
was annouced by the speaker in re
sponse to a question from ; Premier
Asquith and Balfour, the leader of the
opposition, as parliament was ad
journing, tonight ;.-'.; .-'.
During the evening, while the house
was discussing the license bill, a sen
sation was caused by the display of j a
placard and sudden shrill cries from
the ladies' gallery, demanding votes
for -women, while (simultaneously ; a
bundle of handbills fluttered down from
the strangers' gallery at the opposite
end of the chamber and a man shouted
protests, "Justice to women!"
Attendants hurried to the galleries
and the male' offender was unceremoni
ously ejected, but at the ladies' gal
leries sounds were heard of a desperate
struggle.
WO.-UEX CII.VIAED TO/RAIIj
Two suffragettes had firmly chained
themselves to the rail and resisted "for
a time all efforts ■at removal.
.The scene 'vras watched with amaze
ment from the floor, of?. the, house and
finally- the suffragettes- were
from their posts,' but only after por
tions of the grill were . removed.; with
them.
Ten minutes later^there '.was another
dramatic scene, a man In the strangers'
gallery throwing another bundle 'of
bills. down upon the house and shout
ing: "Why don't you . give women votes
and- relieve theT.unemployed?.".
Attendants rushed upon him. but: he
resisted fiercely an attempt to carry
him bodily from the gallery. After a
desperate struggle the attendants suc
ceeded in ejecting the man. About the
same time^ large crowd of suffragettes
made a demonstration outside the par
liament building and 15 were arrested.
CHAINS ARE PILED OFF
'The removal of two .militant suf
fragettes presented a comical; scene .'to
those in the corridors. "Both of, the
offenders were laughing, heartily when
they were escorted by a posse of police
men, one of the officers carrying ;that
portion of the grill to which the women
were chained. They were conducted
Into a committee 'room andT workmen
were summoned to flle off the' chains
which were securely padlocked around
the' women's waists.
It was found that the chains, had
been carefully padded to prevent noise
and betrayal when the suffragettes en
tered the Jadles' gallery.. The demon
stration had been planned beforehand
with great secrecy. One band .was. to
demonstrate outside the .building, an
other in the lobby of the house and a
third in' the gallery. The,gallery/con
tingent : numbered 14, ' but" It was at
tended by many passive; sympathizers.
ASSERTS "MARRIAGE IS
THE SUICIDE OF LOVE"
Professor Monroe Refers to Af-
finities and Says Marriage
Is Becoming a Farce
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
CHICAGO, Oct. 28.— -"Marriage is the
suicide' of love," said ' Prof. Edward D.
Monroe, Ph.D., of Leland Stanford uni
versity this, evening before the Woman's
literary club 'of Woodlawn.
"The Increasing number of; divorces
each year in America seems to substan
tiate this conclusion," .said the profes
sor, further. -
' "In the first place, marriage is en
tered upon, by thousands of foolish and
frivolous girls and 'thoughtless" young
men, without the least. consideration" of
the question of mutual adaptability; or
of congeniality. :., . < , . f
"Before long, sooner than expected,
there appears on the horizon of love's
young dream ; the .'dreaded ".'affinity,'."; and
most of you realize \what that "implies.
It signifies that the bonds of. matrimony
will ere - long ; be ruthlessly shattered
and wind up In a blaze of glory in ; the
divorce courts.^ ■;_.,_■ *; s '. —
' "The ' divorce courts are rushed^'to
death with the vast amount of domestic
troubles that await' the rpleasure' of ' the
law.
"It appears that marriage in this
country., is .becoming mdrefand more'a
farce, in other words, *a 'complete- fallr

Purchase of Valuable Property
Considered Evidence Against
Tomalty:
Prosecution Claims to Have
Strong Case Concerning s
Treasury Thefts
Whole "Ring" May^Be Landed
and Bantel Will Be Sued
for Missing Taxes
Suddenly 'acquired wealth, •; the pur
chase Vof property : in onejof the fash
ionable . residence districts of ! the '• city
and the furnishing of a! home without
regard to cost were matters which
yesterday engaged ■._ the attention of
detectives employed to investigate the
career of James. C. Tomalty, now held
in the city prison on a charge of hav
in g falsified the; public records^in*con
nection with ': the looting of the city
treasury. According- to ! the state
ments of officials connected with the
prosecution this quick transition from
comparative poverty to wealth in To
ihalty's case was of such a character
that It caused friends and. relatives to
marvel and express the opinion that
"Jim had been, declared 'In'on -some of
the Ruef graft." ■ ' *
' From the standpoint of the prosecu- j
tion 'yesterday was considered one of the
most productive days sincethe discov
ery of the fact that '. the city had been
robbed of a large sum of ; money. The
developments ' of; the day ; served riot j
only, to draw the. .web tighter around!
Tomalty. but'also to, shed i,a* t great deal ]
of light on V the,- actions who
are suspected of having?-been'impli
cated in the gigantic steal. -Although ;

.It was officially stated yesterday that

transactions in^which '.Tomalty was In
terested i within: a period of six months
after' the? earthquake.": lt v was 'stated
that Mrs. Mary. Devlin, a, sister of. Mrs.

malty's": agent, purchased? from- Mrs*.
E. X.^Fritzi of fl 01: Frederick street the
house and lot at 861 Ashbury street.
IX TWO PAYMENTS
.The pricepaid;for the Ashbury street
property by, Mrs. Devlin,* "who Isa seam

was ?5,500, t all ;of which was paid In
two payments.* '. Imniedlately.' after the
purchase of" the house Mrs."- Devlin sug
gested to.; Mrs.: Fritz .that the latter
might. - ! make <*many ''.valuable^ sugges

It Is claimed by! the detectives that
the cost \ of > furnishing,' the !. house was,
at a conservative 'estimate, |7,000,
which; taken with the cost of the prop
erty,' |B.soo,;brought Uhe 'total., to ?15,

.The fact that i t th*e 1 property stands in

Judge Carroll Cook
COOK'S WAR
ON SOLDIER
OF CHURCH
Father Caraher Made Victim of
Shameless Judge's Struggle
to Aid Brothels
Methods o! the Man Who Seeks
Re-election Shown in History
of Infamous Den
"With hundreds of thousands
of my fellow citizens, I believe
that Carroll Cook is unfit to be
a judge or any court of justice
In the world and that when his
present term expires he should
be allowed to lapse into the ob»
scurlty of private life.'
"For years Judge Carroll Cook
has prostituted his official pow
ers to the protection of proprie
tors, patrons and inmates of
loathsome brothels and he was
only stopped in his iniquitous
career by^ a decision of . the su?
preme court of this state.
* * * // Judge Cook issues
no more injunctions to protect
brothels and' foster bestial im
purity it '- is not because of any
improvement in his conduct, but
because he has been deprived of
the power to do so ' by the su»
preme court. His at titude and
feelings toward morality, virtue
and decency are identically the
same today as they were when
the foul Marsicania *was in full
blast."— From letter' by Father
Terence Caraher of ". St. Francis
church, published ih\The Call on
November 4,1906. : ■
Prostitution of the superior
court of San Francisco to a pro
tecting partnership "in the un
speakable brothel known as the
Marsicania, at 1129 Dupont
street, and. an attempt to use the
power of that court to crush
Father Terence Caraher, a gray
haired priest who dared to stand
up .for decency and for the en
forcement of law, is the shameful
story.; told in. one chapter of that
"record" upon which Carroll
Cook says he bases his claim to
re-election to the bench he has
degraded.
Cook can- not get away from
his ''record." The Marsicania
chapter of it is no blacker than
many* others Written by Cook in
the 12 years that he has persist
ently dragged the ermine of his
office in- the mire of vice anil
crime. The!prostitution of his'of
ficc recorded in the Marsicania
chapter fastened on Cook the
title of vice magistrate — a title
he has never been able to shake
offr !
