houses of the rich, but they were all
closed. The few police on duty were
unable to handle the mob of anarch

helpless until Commissioner McKay
ordered the troops from every station
in the city to concentrate in the Fifth
avenue district and they came rush
ing in automobiles to the scene.
Several arrests were made by tne
police at the start of the trouble, but
the prisoners were torn from them
and freed. Later a few more arrests
were made but Miss Goldman was not
arrested, as the men placed here in
•the center of the mob,, where the
police could not get her. She is' now
in hiding.

From Valdez to Fairbanks in
Line of the Parade.
SEATTLE. March 23.—The celebra
tion here Saturday night because of
the passage of the Chamberlain rail
road bill was one of the largest ever
held. The police claim that more
people lined the streets than were
present at the Potlatch last year.
Conservative .estimates place the
number of people along the line of
march at from 180.000 to 200,000and
the entire police force, with 300 ad
ditional special deputies, were need
ed to keep the crowds back of the
ropes.
A detail of the police led the pa
rade followed by the regimental band,
and then came a logging engine,
formerly used on the New York ele
vated railroad, with steam up to
represent the government Alaska
railroad. The engine pulled a big
flat car loaded with coal, represent
ing the first load of coal taken from
Valdez to Fairbanks.
The commercial |c|ub had had
painted a large baner, which read:
“First Train Load of Coal From
Valdez to Fairbanks on the Govern
ment Alaska Railroad.”
The crowds cheered and cheered
as the car passed and threw hats in
to the air. Sourdoughs from all sec
tions ol the territory were predict
ing that the government line would
be started at Valdez and would be
completed in three years from the
coast to Fairbanks.
A large detachment i>f Alaskans,
members of the different Eagle lodges,
. were in line with banners flying and
fthe Arctic Brotherhood had a thou
[ sand men in parkas to represent
I them.
The Yukon. Pioneers, several hun
dred strong, were in line, headed by
a hand of 100 pieces. The Pioneers
carried banners inscribed with the
motto, “Justice at Last.”
The banner of the Arctic Brother
hood had the inscription, “Seward
Started It and Wilson Finished It.”
The merchants ^of this city are
convinced that Alaska will make Se
attle the biggest and best city on the
Pacific coast.
The only accident during the pa
rade was when a horse ridden by a
policeman became frightened and
started into tljte crowds along the
sidewalk. Six persons were hurt and
It is believed one of (hem will die.
The policeman endeavored lit ey
*'r.y way to prevent injury to the
people and when he could no longer
keep the horse out of the mob he
drew his .gun and vainly tried to end
the life of his mount ttefore any one
was injured. He bred several shots
lu,t.o the horse but none were fetal.
The injured were at once rushed to
the hospitals for immediate medical
attention. , ,.
Representative Robert Gray W(ts a

ME SHOCKED
When Music Hall Proprietors Have
Naked Women Dance on Stage
and They Stop It
PAUIS, March 23.—The police yes
terday stopped all performers in the
music halls who appeared upon the
stage in the “all together.” The po
lice, however, did not interfere with
the performers appearing the larger
theaters, because It is said that the
artistics surroundings offset all the
indecency, while the cheap sur
roundings of fthe dance halls made
the nude women appear indecent ana
vulgar.
Because a society woman of this
city entertained her guests by appear
ing in tango steps with less clothes
than mother Eve, the big theaters
have been imitating iier work and
have drawn large crowds. Now the
music halls are doing the same, but
their work was so coarse as to shock
even the guardians of # the public
peace in “gay Parie.”
The music halls were crowded to
theit capacity especially with for
eign* rs, who are not allowed- to wit
ness such scenes in their own conn -
tries.
