By Aseocistea Press. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Gov. Wood- row Wilson made two speeches to- night in New York and Brooklyn, speaking campaign for the present. He will not make an- other speech, he announced, until Col. Roosevelt has recovered. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and her three daughters attended the big meeting in Carnegie Hall. The Governor returned here this afternoon from a campaign trip throughout Delaware, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania. On the | way to New York, he rode for a while with Dr. Henry van Dyke, the author, and former Gov, Higgins of Rhode Island. Suffragette Is Arrested. Miss Maude Malone, a -suffragette, interrupted the speech of Gov. Wil- son at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, and after a scene of con- fusion, in which the Democratic can- didate tried to pacify the angry crowd, the police interfered and ar- rested her on a charge of disturbing the peace. The ‘Governor was talking about monopoly, when Miss Malone, who Was conspicuous in interrupting an address bv Gov. Johnson of Cali- fornia, here recently, rose from the balcony and shouted: ‘How about woman suffrage. -Gov. Wilgon? Man has a monopely of suf- frage.”’ Cries of ‘“‘put her out’’ anu an uproar of protest against the interruption came from the crowd. ‘‘Do not be rude to the tady,’” urged the Governor, and the crowd became quiet, while the speaker addea: ‘Woman suffrage. Manam,.is.nect a question that dealt with by the national government at all; I am only here as a representative pf the national party.”’ Declines to Answer Her. The woman continued to shout ques- tions about suffrage and when the Governor could be heard again, he said to her: ‘“T hope Adrian ©. Rule, a Democrat, vice- president of the Kilgen-Rule Real Es- tate Co., was appointed yesterday by Gov. Hadley as a member of the Police Board, to succeed Otto L. Telchmann, a Republican, who resigned more than a year ago. Rule was sitting in Box 18 at Sports- man’s Park, watching the police field Gay events, when Gov. Hadley came along and asked him if he would ac- cept an appointment as Police Commis- sioner. Rule was taken by surprise, and as he could not think of any good reason for refusing. accepted. Gov. Hadley announced the appointment after re- turning to Hotel Jefferson... Rule said he had no announcement to make, ex- cept that he had not sought @r expected -the appointment, and that he expected to do his duty. The Governor has shown marked indifference to the fact that there was @ vacancy in the Police Board, and several times remarked, to persons who had friends to recommend, that four members seemed to be looking after the Police Department about as well as five’could. Even the politi- eilans had almost forgotten there was @ vacancy. He explained the sudden appoint- ment of Rule by saying that, with selection coming on, he thought it best that the board should be reinforced. The board is now a tri-partisan body, with Rule and Augustus L. Ab- bott as Democratic members, Mayor Kreismann and Hobart’ Brinsmade Republicans, and President Woer- heide, who was appointed as a Re- publican, now a Progressive. Rule is foreman of the present grand jury. He is president of the Mercantile Club, and is a former prestdenrtc’ "or the Real Estate Ex- change.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Oct. 19.—A_ thou- sand University of Illinois students, celebrating a football victory over In- diana tonight, attacked the Walker Opera House in Champaign and many persons were injured in the battle with local policemen and stage hands. The worst injured were: Grace Medley, chorus girl, brick; hurled through dressing room window and badly wounded on the head. Grace Fletcher, chorus girl, injured by a fall down the dressing room stairs (efter fainting during a bombardment of | missiles. Pete Antrews, stage hand, struck on head by brick. Pearl Harper, chorus girl, fainted on stage during performance and is pros- trated. | Elmer Dillavou, Champaign High School student, knocked unconscious by blow from club. Many other persons were injured in' the hand-to-hand battle at the stage entrance. ‘‘Murder wil] inevitably result if this is not stopped,’’ declared George Huff, director of Athletics at the University, who ascended the g all ery steps and ad- dressed the mob. “T certainly would not blame the thea- ter management if their men shot you. This is a G@iggrace to the University. If you want to kill foots, yeu’re taking the best way. I want @ tell you that these disturbances have been argued as a reason why football should be abol- ished.’’ Students Fire Revolvers. Charles Adkins, Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, was the first victim of celebrators who interrupted his open-air speech for Taft and McKinley by crowding around his automobile and yelling and shooting revolvers until he was forced to desist. Following the breaking up of the pol- tical meeting, the students cried: ‘“‘To the Walker” and quickly besieged the play house where ‘‘In Frisky France’’ a musi- cal comedy was being played. The house was crowded ana there was considerable danger of a panic. The mob massed at the stage entrance and began to batter the dovr, at the same time hurting missiles at the windows, which were smashed. The door gave away and the crowd starting to surge in, was repulsed by stage hands, armed with clubs and revolvers. A pile of empty boxes, filled with waste, was set fire to by hot headed rioters but more conservative element in the crowd put it out, pointing out the danger to life should the blaze be given a chance to reach the theater walls, One of the stage hands, goaded by the onslaught, appeared with a revolver. He threatened to shoot into the crowd if another move was made, at this juncture Director Huff appeared and the students listened to him. University authorities declared expul- sions by the score would follow. As- sistant Dean of men Warnock was one those who fruitlessly strove to check the headstrong mob. He is said to have many names of rioters. Leaving the scene of the riot after Huff's scorching words, a portion of the crowd used up its surplus energy in breaking up the Adkins meeting. Tonight’s attack on the theater was the culmination of a series of similar disturbances which the authorities of the Institution have vainly essayed to stamp out. Theater Siege Tradition.

HE’LL VOTE FOR THOMAS JEFFERSON AND A. BURR Shewalter, Former Candidate for U. 8. Senator, Thinks Wilson Is Monarchist. INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Oct. 19.—Be- cause he believes Woodrow Wilson is a monarchist at heart, an opinion formed after a perusal of pr. Wilson’s books, sudge Joseph CC. Shewalter of this city, Who was a Democratic candidate for United States Senator in 1910, has Geclared his intention of voting at the coming. election for Thomas Jefferson for President, and for Aaron Burr for Vice-President. .

That is the reason he is going te vote for Jefferson. Two years ago Judge Shewalter tra- versed the length and breadth of Mis- souri enunciating the Jeffersonian prin- ciples, as he saw them. Riding _horse- back throigh almost every county of the State on his campaign for United States Senator, he made speeches in ev- ery hamlet and at every crossroads. M. S. U.

Burnham of New York, noted sports- man, hunter and traveler and vice-com- modore of the Motor Boat Club. of America, has returned te San Francis- co from British Columbia and Alaska where he spent three months hunting big game. Burnham establihed what is believed to be a new hunting record. Sept. 12 at Cassia, near the Yukon district, Burnham killed five grizzly bears in two minutes, firing only seven shots. A telegram received from Cas- per Whitney, editor of Outing Maga- sine, today states that the best previous record for number and time was made in Idaho 2 years ago by an Incian uamed Larry Martin who killed four tears in five minutes. Burnham uncovered the group of grizzlies behind a clump of buches and the leader. a she bear, which measured 16 feet and 1 inch long, started for him not more than ® feet away. He killed her witb the first shot and was about te shoot another one coming in the same direction when his guide shouted that another bear was charging from the rear.
