HECKLED BY HOOPER'S
FRIENDS AT KNOXVILLE
Stood His Ground. Matched Retort
with Retort and Silenced the
Dlscnters.
Knoxvllle, Oct. 1. A tumultuous
crowd gave Colonel Roosevelt what he
described as a "middling lively time,"
hero. Men scattered through the
crowd heckled him as In Atlanta hurt
Saturday atjd succeeded In raiding an
uproar which for a time drowned out
any attempt on Colonel Koosevelt'fc
part to go on with his speech. He
stood his ground and matched one
retort with another until ho hud
silenced the dissenters.
Ex-Congressman Taylor of Tennes
see' made the speech of Introduction
at . the auditorium here. Colonel
Roosevelt had hardly begun to speak
when a score of men started to shout
Governor Hooper's name. The colonel
stopped short. The cries grew louder
and In a moment there, was an uproar.
An elderly man walked to Colonel
Roosevelt's side. He raised his hand,
motioning for order. Colonel Roose
velt turned tff him. "Now, you let me
alone," he said. "I'll handle this my
self." The man retrat;d and Colonel
Roosevelt smilingly awaited an oppor
tunity to get In a word. "1 am pin
ning my faith," he shouted when the
noise had partially uibsldad, "to the
oommandmcnt, 'Thou Shalt Not
steal.' " '
The crowd began to cheer. "Walt a
minute." Colonel Roosevelt said Im
iwrvlously. "I i hadn't Intended to
speak of Mr, Hooper, but as you wish
to have me speak of him 1 will. I came
here to speak against the theft of
the republican nomination. You peo
ple who shout 'Hurrah for Hooper' ar
you going to say 'down with the eighth
commandment?' " There were cries of
'no. no."
"Well, then I ny," the colonel con
tinued, "that theft of a purse Is no
worse than the theft of a nomination.
Now, then you brought this on your
selves. As long as you want It you'll
get It straight. I hold that nol!y ac
clamation of theft does nothing, but
paint the character of the man who
miikeo the noise." The crowd greeted
Colonel Roosevelt's retort with a
shout. As soon as Colonel Roosevelt
resumed his speerh the crU-s of
"Hooper" were renewed. "Very well,
gentlemen," said the colonel, "I've gut
all the afternoon."
"Thrrr Is another thing I am here
In slay," he siilil during the next lull
"I H k to the b-ith.ll of t ho leKlnl"

Colonel rvoo wit said Governor
Wilson had dechiNM himself in favor
of delegation of t'ie powers of govern
ment and by . . titt declaration had
placed himself lu 'ppnsltion to pro
posals for progrtPsive legislation. Jle
was interrupted hy cries of "hurrah
for Wilson.," ''Tfinn hurrah for abol
ishing any law w.bich limits the power
of the sweatshop: owners over wom
en," ho shouted ack. Thfc cries con
tinued. ' The coVnel singled out one
man In the crowd who was muklng
the most noise. ffYour voice is all
right, but-1 am . frying to appeal to
your intelligence,'' he said. The crowd
laughed and 'cheered ' and Colonel
Roosevelt wa rmt interrupted again.
"I was tntoresteirVa ther tepidly In the1
statement of Mr.jTaft the other day
that the progressive party platform
Was a . crazy quil t of inconsistent or
unrelated idea,"he said. "Our pro
grain will seem ji. crazy quilt only to
those who have- nt studied the ques
tions of the day. iWhen Mr. Taft says
bur platform la -S crazy quilt my an
swer Is that the irjiuses of our present
Industrial system J re a real crazy quilt
and that our' Intnntlon Is to rip them

URGE CROO GATHERS
EXPECTING A SPEECH
However, All the Time but
' About Six TMinutes Was
.v Taken in J bif ting Cars
- Those who ha-l gathered at the
Southern passonKfr station this morn
ing In expectatloV of seeing Colonel
Roosevelt and hwiring him make a
short talk were" ory much disap
pointed when lie. foiled to appear.
There were pn ' flv. ' 2500 people
hero iiuil 'vfoine"-r' .hem , had comp
iAU,y Wilts ti"'&?. t i in. .?So tat" an
can be learned it was the change from
the central to the eastern time which
caused the mlsundeitstandlng. When
the train arrived there appeared to be
no one awake In the special cars.
Just before the time for the train to
leave Col. Roosevelt came to the back
platform, only partially dressed, und
told those who were standing there
that he had been Informed that he
would be in Asheville over an hour.
He eemod greatly : disappointed and
seemed to be making efforts to have
the train stop long enough for him
i0 make an explanation, but this was
not done. He asked members of the
party to do this for him..
However, If the colonel had been
awake when the train arrived It Is
doubtful If he would have been able
to address the crowd unless he had
rZt shining
I his cars. Only six minutes remained
when the shifting stopped, and then
the cars were left a considerable dis
tance from the sheds.
There .was quite a little comment
about tho matter this morning and
there was ' much disappointment
among the bull moose that they were
unable to hear tho colonel speak.
Telegrams from tho ex-presldent
and from W. A. Hildebrand to The
Gazette-News show that the colonel
was under the .Impression that he
would have ample time to dress and
aildrens the people.
There were several good republi
cans and progressives on tho rear
platform when the ' colonel finally
came out and most of them got off
as the train was moving out, A few,
however, went as far ' as Blltmore.
Among these were J. N. Merge. n and
Col. Jack Campbell.
On the way to Biltmore Col. Roose
velt expressed great disappointment
to Mr. Morgan and the others because
he had been unable to .address his
friends, and he secured the promise
from Mr. Morgan that he would ex
plain to the local papers and the peo
ple how It occurred and how greatly
he regretted It

"How were Mr. Rockefeller's per

asked. '. ' ' , ' .' ' '
' "'Mr. Rockefeller owned 2482

Belgrade, Oct. 1. The . reserves
have been called out, but are being
assembled In small detachments and
sent to the frontier in an unostenta

dangerous excitement.-
Among the many warlike rumors In
circulation it Is stated that Bulgaria
and Servla have sent a Joint note to
Turkey demanding autonomy for
Macedonia and stating that non-compliance
with this demand will mean
war. -
M., Pusltch, the Servian premier, is
quoted as saying: "The position of
affairs is absolutely intolerable and
nobody can quietly contemplate the
outlook. The province of Old Servla
must be autonomlzed. This is the
only way to secure peace. We shall
Insist upon the fulfilment of thja de
mand with all our force." .

All tho correspondence between
Former President Koosevelt and the'
late E. H. Hairim.tn from 1901 until
Mr. Harriman's differences with Mr.
Roosevelt In 1906, was placed in evi
dence yesterday afternoon before the
senate committee .investigating cam-
paign expenditures. '
Out of the scores of letters, cover- .
Ing every subject from exhibits of In
dian pictures to the appointment of
federal judges and territorial gover
nors in Arizona, tho senate committee '.
was able to secure little new light
bearing on the subject of campaign
contributions or tho disputed ques
tion of whether or not President
Roosevelt had specifically asked Mr.
Harrlman In 1904 to raise a fund
of $240,000 for the aid of his cam
paign. '
- C. C. Tegejhoff, agent for the Har
rlman estate, and former private sec
retary to Mr. flurrlman, and Charles
A. Peabody, president of the Mutual
Life Insurance company and personal
attorney for Mrs. Harrlman in the ad
ministration of the estate, both testi
fied that Mr. Harrlman had told them
the raising of the big cumpalgn fund
had been undertaken at President
Roosevelt's request, a statement which
Mr. Harrlman made before his death,
but which was denied by Colonel
Roosevelt.
Aside from the file of letters given
the committee, no documentary evi
dence was offered, however; and out
of the many letters, none was pro
duced, except that written by Mr. Har
rlman to Sidney Webster, January 2,
190fi, that In any way bore upon the
charge that Roosevelt had asked thoy
railroad man to raise funds.' ' .
The Webster letter made public by
Mr. Harrlman himself during the con
troversy with President Roosevelt over. ,
the fund Intimated that Mr. Harrl
man had been asked by the president
to raise the fund; and that It had
been the understanding among finan
cial men, to whom he appealed, that
Senator Depew was to be given the
ambaHsadnrf.hlp to France.
