Meeting of Moosettes Has Hard
Going Until Fat Police
man Takes Hand.
OFFICER 2634 THE HERO
Beams When Invitcrt to Climb
Into Auto, and in Business
like Faahion Fills De
mand of Populace.
If "Boaa" Murphy of Tammany Hall
could have eeen Offlcer MH the tz.t po
llceman In Park Row. flirtlng with the
Mooeettea at the foot of Benjamln Frank
Un'a atatue across the way from City
Hall yeaterday, he certaln'.y would have
been peeved. Offlcer 2?534 waa the hero of
a button riot at Mits Mary !-onjielly's
noon meeting there yesterday. and to aee
him atandlng ln George W. Perkina'a au
tomohile. his unlform obs.ured with ban
danna flags, dealing out T. R. buttor.s
?with both hands was a nad sight for Dem?
ocratlc eyea.
If Offlcer 2634 hadn't been there, though,
there'a no telllng what that macl-for-but
tona crowd would have done to Miss Don
tjelly and her alaa. Miss Donnelly lost
her necktie and another woman bad her
bat knocked off, aa lt was. The crowd
Waa a "rough house" crowd from the be
ginnlng. and took Miss Donnelly's remarks
Jn a way that grieved her sorely.
??We women are ranked with the In
ajane!" ahe crled.
"Sure. I'm marrled, and T know you
belong there:" yened a citlzen In a bat
tered hat.
"You men have mothers. wtvea, eweet
_e?rts,'* contlnued "Our .Mary."
*Tou'r* my sweetheart. Mary dear,"
tiellowed an unwholsome youth.
Mlae Donnelly took another tack.
"When the Prt>gTe*Rives get Into power
ttey -rlll glve you all you aak"' ehe aa
gttred them In clarlon tones.
Who'e Qot the Button?
?*We want buttons, we want buttona'"
TOared the crowd. whlch mimbered hun
Areia by this time, and wae growlng |lg
g?r every mlnute.
But Mlas Donnelly waan't ready to glve
?ut the buttons. so she trled to paelfy the
pwahlng, struggllng maas of humanlty by
oromlslng that ehe'd have one hundred
balla 1n New Vork the week after Roose
aelt waa elected.
"I'm golng to hlre every big buildinr in
JSew Tork City," she crled, "and well
have one hundred elegant balla " "Put me
town on your card for tho flrst dance
wld' you," ahrleked a young sca-mp.
"Now, boys, thls ls the last time I'll sce
ny boys dov-n here before election," aald
vilss Donnelly ln aa wheedllne a tone as
ihe oould manage ln the megaphone voice
ihe was forced to uae.
"We want to aee your buttons!" howled
the crowd.
But Mlas Donnelly wouldn't give out
the button? until Miaa Altce Carpenter
Jiad talked, and for a wonder Miss f'ar
periter managed to get comparative qulet
while ahe talked about what the Progrea
sive party meant to do to make llfe easter
for the worklng people But the mlnute
ahe got down and sllpped out of the car
to apeak at another meeting iandemo
nium broka lnoa*.
"Buttona. buttons, 'Teddy' button^:'
shouted the grinnlng facrs that surged
around the car. And they didn't merely
surge around it, they purged up the ba. k
and over the sldes. By this time the
throng reached from City Hall Park to
the Trlbune Bullding. Streetcars were
blocked and traffle waa lmposslble.
Then Miss Donnelly, In her deaperation,
C?ught aight of Offlcer _te4. who had one
young lmp by the aeat of hla trouaers
and another by hla collar. and waa trying
to remove a thlrd from the door of the
tar with hla knee.
"Get ln here>l" ahe cominanded him.
Officor 2634 Cllmbe Aboard.
Offlcer 3634 amlled all over hla fat face.
"Sure, I will,** he aald, and, wadlng
through the mass of atruggling arma and
legs. he cllmbed in. Then Mlas Donnelly
proeeeded to open the box of buttons, and
then- Well, 1** tboee buttone had been
gold nuggets, or lf they had been bread
and th* crowd tn tbe laat etagea of atar
vaUon, the crowd couldn't have atjruggled
and snatrhed more ravenouaiy. They
rasrhtt* out their handa, they held up
Ibair bata imploringly. Mlas M. W.
liOOrte. who trled to etand up on the rear
aeat to glve out the buttone, waa falrly
_nocked down Into the eeat of the car,
atjd e~eu the eool and Intrepid Miss Don
aelly got rattled.
Then It waa tbat Offlcer 3634 proved
that a man can be useful. though a po
tlcernan. With both fat hands he dlved
into the box of buttona and gave them
right and left ae gladaomeiy aa if they
bad been the emblema of hla parent Wig
wam He got ao lnterested that he qutte,
fnrgot to try to keep order, but probably
he wouldn't have succeeded if he had
trled. Anybow, the flve other offlcera who
were madty endeavorlng to keep tht au
tomobiie; and Ita occupanta from being
utterly eubmerged were gwtUng much th?
worst of it
However, at last the buttons were gone,
and with lnflnlte dlgnlty th? automoblle
chugged away to other meetlnga in other
parte of town. Then, and only then, did
peace deacend upon Park Row.
