-LED EPITHETS AT HEARST. ayor Gaynor Attacked Late Rival. Extraordinary Occurrence at Neispaper Banquet. New York. April 28.-The annual joint banquet of the Associated Pre and the American Newspapers Pub lishers' association was thrown into riotous and prolonged disorder to night, when Thomas T. Williams, business manager for W. R. Hearst, was refused permission to speak as he rose to reply to biting criticisms Mayor Gaynor had just made on Mr. Hearts's part in journalism. For twenty-five minutes the uproar continued, while men stood in their chairs and women craned from the balconies of the banquet hall. "Mr. Hearst is not present. I am his friend and have a right to be heard," shouted Mr. Williams, climb ing onto the speaker's table and shak ing his first in the face of the mayor. Situation Tense. "Put him out," "shut up," "free speech," came from all parts of the hall. The toastmaster, C. N. Wright, of the Cleveland Leader, hammered iix vain for order, while Mr. Williams stood impassive, but obstinate, and waited to be heard. "This is a disgtee to the press of the United States. It must end," shouted Adolph S. Ochs, proprietor of the New York Times, as he stood on his chair behind the toastmaster and begged for a word. Mr. Wiiliams, I promise you, has less than forty words to speak, let me say them for him." "No, no," yelled the diners. "Mr. Williams says," began Mr.I -Ochs - "No, no," broke in the thoroughly angered diners, with added insist ence. d Succeeded by Laughter and "Dixie." Mr. Ochs sat down, while the or chestra thundered "Dixie," but Mr. Williams still kept his feet and a semblance of calm was not restored until the Rev. -Newell Dwight Hillis, of Brooklyn,. with a witty and felici tous speech brought laughter that drove out anger. The directors, executive members of the Associated Press and the American Newspapers Publishers' as sociation had met at their annual joint banquet at the Waldorf Astoria. Several hundred sat down to theI banquet tables. Mayor Gaynor; the 'guest of honor and first speaker, took - for his subject "The Press in Its Re lations to Public Officials." He spoke; as is his wont, and as he had been invited to do, without mincing words. Mayor Gaynor Speaks. "Those having power," he' said, "should use it justly, kindly and mod erately. That makes their acts all the more effective. I measure my "words in saying your power for good is immense. Your power for evil is not so great as some may think. "Thd public official who tries his best to do right and who knows how to do right, can not be hurt by you. Some may abuse him, even lie and forge about him, but they are power * less to' hurt him. Youi can neithe make nor unmake an honest and com petent official. "The press as a whole is just to public officials. When the election Is over, its wholesome wish is to see that the one who is elected gives good government and to help him do so. But if a publisher or editor be himself a perennial office-seeker he may de sire to assassinate every one in his way and then, alas, what a disgrace he brinigs on journalism." Attack on Hearst. These references, unmistakably 'drawn from the mayor's own political experience in a campaign of unex ampled bitterness, just passed, he drove home with names and specific *instances, in an attack of almost un exampled bitterness on Win. Ran dolph Hearst, who ran against him for the mayoralty, and who has since criticised his administration sharp ly, he applied epithets seldom heard in public speaking. Then followed the scene heretofore described. When order was restored, Woodrow Wilson, president of *Princeton university, emphasized the decline of the editorial in power, and the growing importance of the prompt, accurate and unbiased news gathering. George Ade, himself a practical newspaper man, spoke in lighter vein and won the laughter of his aud ience by his deft touches on trials and enjoyments they had all alike experienced. Messages From Afar. Thi-oughout the dinner, as if to rea lize the appositeness of President Wilson's speech and to emphasize the coordination of the whole world, ca ble messages of greetings to the American Press were read as they Ana.sia in at brief intervals front American representatives abroad, rulers and dignitaries of Eirope, Asia, Africa and South America. Cheers broke out from every table as Col. Roosevelt's was read, and as they subsided a male quartette sang the following burlesque: Ode to Teddy. "Has anybody here seen Teddy? T-E-double-D-Y. Has anybody here seen Teddy. Have you seen him smile? Sure his copy's hot, his taste is true; He's a news man through and through; Has anybody here seen Teddy, Teddy, of the matchelss style?" The remainder of the dinner pass ed off without incident and in the best of good fellowship, as if a scene unprecedent,.d at a public banquet had not marred the evening. Mr. Williams left the hall early, es corted by his friends. TAKE ONE MORE MARCH. Veterans March in Mobile Under Bat tle Scarred Banners-Beauty and Aged Valor. Mobile, Ala., April 2$=With halt. ing steps and trembling linibs, grAy bearded and feeble, with eyes' in which the fl,e of youth has been dim med by the none too gentle passing years, but with hearts full or pride and joy, fifteen thousand veteran sol diers of the Confederacy marched today beneath the battle-scarred flags which they followed in the sixties. Shoulder to shoulder, with comrades who endured together the hardships of war, to the soft strains of "Dixie" played by two score bands, encourag ed by the cheers of the biggest crowd Mobile has ever entertained, the an nual parade of the vetterans passed into history. Conditions Ideal. The weather was perfect. The sun was bright and warm, but a breeze from the Gulf tempered its rays and made ideal marching conditions. The line of march wasi elaborately dec ordted with bunting and streamers. Huge arches carried words of wel come to the veterans and from every biulding the Stars and Bars and the Stars and Stripes swung together, flapping lazily in the breeze. Major Gen. George Harrison, commander of the Alabama division, was the grand marshal of the parade. To simplify the parade formation, "a map of the line of march had been printed showing the exact spot at which each of the twenty-six divis ions was to form. The preliminary arrangements for the parade were so perfect that the head of the column was set in mo tion three minutes before the time for starting, 10 o'clock. Reviewed by New Commander. Gen. Clement A. Evans, who was to have commanded the parade, was, too weak and ill to review it, and the new commander-in-chief, Gen. George W. Gordon, surrounded by his staff, replaced him. Gen. Gordon expressed deep regret that the white haired old commander could not round out his office by directing the closing movement of the troops of the reunion. The parade followed the line of march assigned to it, and counter march^ed through historic Bienville square; where Gen. Lafayette oncei reviewed the Continental troops. In a huge reviewing stand the general officers and guests of honor watch ed the parade pass in review. M~aids and Sponsors Marched. One of the pretty features of the parade was, the march of the spon sors and maids of honor of the Sons of Veterans. Mobile has a total of thirty-six public carriages--not enough to carry all the maids and sponsors-so the sponsors and maids of the veterans were given the car riages and the pretty young women who came with the Sons marched at the head of the various camps to which they were attached.. There were some curious features in the parade. A number of' old ne gro soldiers were in line, among them Jefferson Shields, who claims to have been Stonewall Jackson's cook. Jeff was covered with reunion badges and carried a live tchicken under his arm. When asked what he. was doing with the chicken, he re plied 'that he was just carrying his lunch. In the Virginia division were a. group of old soldiers carrying wasp nests on the end of canes. Veterans Leaving Mobile. The exodus from Mobile began im mediatdly after the parade, but a great many of the guests will remain here for the balance of the week. There will be a repetition of the Madri Gras parade tonight, and many side trips have been arranged for Friday and Saturday. The official program of the reun in closd tonight with a repetition of the Mardi Gras parade by the Or der of Myths and the Circulating Ball. The latter was arranged by the cooperation of all the clubs of Mobile. There were orchestras at each club and the sponsors, maids and matrons with their escorts d, from club to club, being entertained in turn at each. Special trains on all roads left the city tonight as rapidly as was con sistent with safety. WICKERSHAM MAKES REPLYa Says Inquiry Into Cotton Pool is Not Against Legitimate Operations. Washington, April 27.-In view of the adverse criticism and comment made on the action of the depart ment of justice in directing an in vestigation by the grand % jury in New York into the alleged cotton pool, Attorndy General Wickersham today made this formal statement: "The action of the government in instituting the investigation before the grand jury in New York concern ing an alleged cotton pool should not in anyway be copstrued as an attack on legitimate operations' of any 'of the cotton or produce ex changes in the United States. "The proogodingg being one be fore a grand jury, and ot yet com pleted,' manifestly can not with propriety be discussed at the present time." Woman Whips Lobby Sport. Atlanta, Ga., April 27.-In true English style Mrs. Seillie Spivey gave R. H. Blufflington, who, she says, tried to flirt with her, a good thrashing in a local theatre last night. As a result the "mere man" with a black eye and otherwise the worse fo - the encounter is occupy ing a cell in the police station charg ed with "mashing." When Bluffington made his alleg ed advances he was attacked by Mrs. Spivey, who used her fists to such advantage that he was soon down for. the count. Finally by a desper ate efort he succeeded in warding off his fair antagonist long enough to beat a hasty retreat from the theatre, only to fall into the clutches of the police. 80 YEARS OF SUCCESS.
