Immediately after the shooting a great crowd of wildly excited men and boya In Broad street who had! witnessed the struggle m the window overhead and heard the shots, were thrown Into a panic by a mounted po liceman, who dashed up and down the street, trying to clear the thor oughfare. Many of the young brok ers, carried away by the excitement, had started the cry of "Lynch him!" but the sight of the galloping police man put all thought of violence out of their minds and they ran to cover. ' A patrol wagon, with the police re serves from the John street station, . and ah ambulance from the Hudson Street Hospital, arrived at the same tlmA.

He has set a pace in luxury and Bplendor at ambassadorial receptions, dinners, luncheons and 'balls that even the Russian, French and German am bassadors, who control huge govern ment funds for the purpose of enter tainment, could not keep up with. A story has reached London from Washington to the effect that the ex tra vacant splendor maintained by Mr. Reld has displeased th president and Incoming' president. Not only has Mr. Reld eclipsed all preceding ambas sadors to the court of St. James In the magnificent state with whloh he main tains the American embassy but he has aroused the envy of American am. bassadors In the other capitals of Europe, who have been unable even to emulate Mr, Reld. The report from Washington states that Mr. Taft has expressed a desire that the new American ambassador, Whoever he may be, shall revert to the simplicity of style of living character telle of the famous American ambas sadors of the past.
