Into the capital about noon.
The "army” marched through the

local enthusiasts and citizens which
fairly choked tho streets, and 4e
layed traffic.
It was one of the most remarka
ble street demonstrations ever seen
here.
The presidential Inauguration
scarcely could have presented
more enthusiastic spectaclie than the
route taken by the disheveled band
of suffrage pilgrims.
The little group, which locked
arms to keep from being seperated,
was forced to fight its way through
veritable walls of shouting human

they were taken to hotels for rest
and luncheon.

This suit recalls the long drawn-

which destroyed the Dewey Hotel,

evidence In tho form of a letter
which J, J. McGrath, a saloon keep

the payment of money to a civilian
collector, District Attorney Whitman

own satisfaction, that excise graft,
since It had been taken out-of the
hands of precinct and district com
manders. had been centralized In a
fund which approximates a million
and a quarter anaually.
McGrath showed that the time of
Instituting the collection of "pro

with the time Mayor Oaynor Issued
