FIND MAN WHOSE BLOW
BLINDED ROOSEVELT
Dan Moore, Now Colonel
Camp Meade, Admits He
Hit Ex-President
at
fly a Staff Corropondrnt
CAMP M13ADK, Admiral. Md.. Oct. 2C
The man who pasted Colonel ltoosevelt
In the eye so hard that the sight cf that
ye was eventually lost has been discov
ered, and he Is now In the service of his
country at Camp Meade. He Is Colonel
T)an T, Moore, commander of the 310th
Field Artillery, Seventy-ninth Division ot
the National Army, which Is now In train
ing here fCT service In France.
The Colonel himself refused to give tho
name of the ''husky young artillery cap
tain" who was responsible for the loss of
his eye when he gave out the story some
days ago, but It was no difllcult matter to
deduce his Identity from the time of the
occurrence and tho surrounding clrcum
atances, and when the direct question was
put to him here Colonel Moore did not deny
that he was the man.
Colonel Moore expresses tho deepest re
gret that such serious consequences re
aulted from his friendly bout with the then
Commander-in-chief of the army and avy
of the United States, a regret no less keen
that the story should become known. Ho
also declares that he never knew that ho
bad blinded the Colonel until he read In a
paper of the latter's statement that he had
been deprived of the sight of his eye. It
Is his Intention to write the former Presi
dent a letter at the first opportunity and
xprcss the regret that he feels on the sub
ject. In 190S, at the time of the occurrence.
Colonel, then Captain Moore, was a mili
tary aid at the White 'louse. Other
aids at the same time were Granville
Fortescue, the war correspondent, and
Phil Sheridan, son of the famous Civil
War veteran of the same name. Mqore,
however, was the only one of the trio
strenuous enough to keep pace with the
President In his boxing bouts, and he fre
quently put on the gloves and went a few
fast rounds with the hero of San Juan.
"A bout with the Colonel was always a
fast affair," said Colonel Moore, In talking
about the matter, '"and It would bo Impos
sible to give any description of the blow
which caused the loss of his eye. The Col
onel would always force the fighting, and
the man who opposed him had to go at top
speed and fight every minute of the time
to keep from being put out. It was Im
possible to be careful In delivering blows
and thut Is my only excuse for the fact
that I seriously Injured him. The Colonel
himself would have been the last man to
liavs stood for anything like ladylike fight
ing." Colonel Moore Is a close-knit, muscular
man of five feet eleven, weighs In the
neighborhood of 200 pounds nnd looks every
Inch the sort of man who could hit a blow
sufficient to do serious damage to an op
ponent. He has always kept In the pink of
physical condition and Is exceedingly fond
of boxing.
M0T0RB0AT "FANS"
MUST PAY WAR TAX
Owners of Yachts and Sailing
Craft Also Subject to New
Federal Excise
Tachtsmen and motorboat "fans" will
have to pay the Government a war tax for
their pleasure in the future.
According to the new tax law. on July
1 of each year, and also at the time of tho
original purchase ot a new boat by the
- user If on any other date than the above,
an excise tax must be paid upon the use
of pleasure yachts, power and sailing
boats of over Ave net tons, and motorboats
with fixed engines, which are not used ex
clusively for trade or national defense, nor
built according to plans and specifications
approved by the Navy Department.
This tax will be based on each yacht
or boat at the following rates:
"Yachts, pleasure boats, powerboats,
ailing boats and motorboats with fixed en
gines, of over five net tons, length not
over fifty feet, fifty cents for each foot;
.i '4. length over fifty feet and under 100 feet,
;., J'.l for each foot; length over 100 feet, )2
'"..- tot ?ach foot; motorboata of not over five
r, .' net tons with fixed engines, IS."
This gives rise to the question of how
much tax these maritime enthusiasts will
v have to pay if they should purchase a new
boat on some date other than July 1. Inas
much as the tax year extends from July to
the following July, It would not be fair to
make thesa owners pay a year's tax for the
use of their boats when they did not have
them that long.
The Government, anticipating this query,
as ruled that It a boat Is bought after the
passage of the new law, It must be paid on
he, date ot purchase, yet the amount to be.
ald shall bo the same number of twelfths
of tho amount ot the tax as the number

do, ns I said be-fore, I'll break your face"
Connors, evidently embarrassed, ex
claimed ".Vo you won't break my face."
"I will If you do that ugaln," answered
Glasgow.
At this point Judge Davis rapped for
order In the courtroom, which had been
buzzing and murmuring In excitement.
When Charles A. Wharton, n clerk in
the Town Meeting party headquarters, was
called, he said he signed n petition nnd
made ntlldavlt lie admitted that ho did
not know nnv of the signers. Asked why
he did this. Wh,nrton said that John W.
llaskard, who was In charge of getting the
signatures, had asked every signer if ho
were a voter The witness added he
thought that was sufficient.
Attorney William W. Hopcr. chnlrman of
the headquarters committee, said that J.
Louis Ureltlngcr, who had charge of the work
of getting out the signatures, contended that
a man's word to the effeajt that he wax a
voter wns sufficient to Bmit him to sign
the petition, nnd that he also so construed
the law.
Martin J. Clnrk, of 010 South Twenty
seventh street, then took the stand, nnd
while he was testifying Attorney Glasgow
tried to show his Intention was proper,
although he did not Investigate tho signa
tures or every man on the petition.
Mr. Glasgow said "the duty which has
fallen on the court Is u grave responsi
bility. Just because a few men failed to
make affidavits properly It should not de
stroy the Intention of the C000 citizens who
desired to nominate the independent candi
dates. "It Is not the duty of the court to de
cide whether or not this ticket shall stand,
but It should decide whatever defects exist
In taking affidavits nnd have them cor
rected." Counsel for the Town Meeting party ob
jected strenuously to the lack of specific
charges, calling Judge Davis's attention to
the fact that a "dragnet of charges of
alleged fraud and forgery" was being pre
sented. "The prosecution should bo directed to
be specific and Inform us In what particular
cases the alleged fraud and forgery exists,"
said Mr. Glasgow.
"I realize that it seems a physical im
possibility to finish this hearing speedily,
but it must be done," replied Judge Davis,
in overruling Mr. Glasgow's objection.
"We will finish speedily. No man will
bo denrlved of his vote by this court, no
matter what his political affiliation may be.
Some of the evidence showB that fr lUd has
been committed. Some shows that there
was haste In preparing the nomination
papers. Some shows carelessness; some
that the law was violated with design. But
we must come to a point, so that the right
of every voter can be protected. Tho plectoi
wlll be protectod."
Thomas llacbum White, counsel for the
Town Meeting party, reminded tho Court
that under the methods being pursued by
would be possible for him to nttack the au
thenticity of the entire Indorsement of the
116 petitions for nominating their offices,
which consisted of more than 6100 signa
tures. CONNOU DEFENDS ACTION
"I do not propose to attack the whole
6100 signatures." Interjected Mr. Connor,
"but I take It that under the act I have
a right to attack, under these objections,
not only the validity of the affidavits to
the papers, but as many signatures In the
body of the nomination papers as needed
to show the fraudulent nominations of this
party and have them thrown out of court.
Thet other side seems now to be begging
mercy from the Court and nsklng a plea for
grace, otherwise they would not object to
the attack on their signatures, but rely on
their Intended motion to ask for amend
ments to rectify, If possible, their defective
and fraudulent nomination p ipers.
"Not only the affidavits hut all the nomi
nation papers reck with fraud," shouted
Attorney Connor. "Now I propose to show
by these witnesses that there are Insuffi
cient, honest valid Indorsements to maintain
these nomination papers, and If that bo
true they cannot then ask for amndments
with any hope of showing good cause why
they should be allowed."
"UNFAIR," WHITE- CHAnGES
Mr. White replied: "This Is a most un
fair position to place us In. We have come
here to meet certain objections and now we
arc confronted with an attack on names to
our papers which we have had no oppor
tunity to Investigate and frame a suitable
defense."
Judge Davis said In the course of a
lengthy reply:
"We have not come to the point where
we must determine to limit the proceedings
to the affidavits alone or permit testimony
relative to tho names In the body of tho
petition In any case where It Is necessary
for a proper determination of the validity
or fraud of the papers."
Mr. Connor said that he did not propose
callng the whole 6100 signers but only
enough of them to support his charge that
there are enough bogus and fraudulent
names on the petitions to Invalidate them.
He said the proof of this was germane to
the whole Inquiry before the Court.
In commenting on the proceedings before
Judge Davis, this afternoon, Senator Vare
Issued tho following statement:
It Is only natural to expect such testi
mony as -has been produced beforo Judge
Davis In connection with anything to which
Penrose has lent his support, Tho evidence
has shown that there Is no one Interested
In the Town Meeting party who heretofore
has supported Independent movements. No
man pf any probity, substance or standing
In the community has either signed the
nomination p ipers or stands sponsor for
them. Thy are one complete mass ot
fraud, supported by forgery and perjury.
"The evidence has shown that those who
are guilty of these crimes are typical repre
sentatives of the underworld, cheap and
discarded political tools and human dere
licts. The attorneys for the Republican
Organization for a week have been bat
tling to strike down the stupendous fraud
and have been fighting for the right, while
the attorneys who have been sent by tho
Town Meeting party have been struggling
to perpetuate this fraud and these mon
strous Incidents of forgery and perjury. The
filing of nomination papers of this char
acter Is' a fitting climax to a polltlpal move
ment engineered by renrose, Gordon and
the lesser lights now under arrest for these
forgeries and perjuries. When such a
group start a political party one would
naturally expect to find Penroso not far
away."

COP TACKLES LAWYER
Mr. Bright, who said a policeman Inter
rupted his breakfast at his home. 7023 Ger
mantnwn avenue, this morning, Indignantly
showed n paper that ho said tho bluecoat
tried to make him sign. The paper, a type
written multlgraph sheet with his name
nnd address written in Ink, was read by
Mr. Bright ns follows:
Your name appears an a signer of tho
nomination paper for tho candidates on
tho Town Meeting party ticket. Did you
or did you not sign this nomination
paper?
(Spaco for answer)
Note Have the abovo question an
swered In writing and signed by tho
ABOVE-NAMED PARTY If no such
party exists wrlto tho NAME AND AD
DRESS of tho PARTY GIVING SUCH
INFORMATION.
"The policeman Insisted that I sign tho
paper," Mr. Bright told tho court. "I ro-
fused to do so. I told him that "
"I object." said William D. Connor, coun
sel for the Vnre-Smlth Republican city com
mittee. "It has nothing to do with tho
case."
"This Is Intimidation of witnesses." re
joined Mr. Bright. "The police department
Is taking this menns to Intimidate witnesses
In this rase. The police try to Induce
signers of the nomination petitions to say
that they did not sign."
"I do not see that this has anything to
do with the case beforo ui," replied Judge
Davis. "I cannot control the police outside
of this court."
William A. Glasgow, another attorney for
the Town Meeting party, arose at this
point to press home the point made by Mr.
Bright.
CHARGES INTIMIDATION
"I want to call the attention Of the court
to me fact that policemen are going to
signers of peltlons and wlnesses and trying
to Intimidate them," ho insisted. "They
attempt to make signers sign statements
that they did not sign.
"What suggestions have you to make,
Mr. aiasgow?" asked Judgo Davis.
"We would like for you to make an an
nouncement from tho bench that you will
have any one Indicted for contempt of court
who Is guilty of Intimidating witnesses,"
said Mr. Glasgow. "Wo want you to realize
that witnesses under t-ubpoena actually are
bring Intimidated by the police."
Judge Davis then made the rollowlng an
nouncement: "The court will not permit any of its wit
nesses under subpoena to be Intimidated.
Wo must know, however, that tho parties
approached are witnesses under subpoena;
otherwise vliatver Is complained of Is n
matter for investigation outside of this
court. I will take such action ns Is proper
If the process of this court Is interfered
with by nny one."
NEIGHBORS CHASE COPS
So Insistent were somo of tho policemen
that tho papers bo signed that they wero
chased from doorsteps by Indignant house
holders, according to Frederick S. Drake,
another lawyer for tho defense. In the
wealthy Ovcrbrook section, he said, neigh
bors and servants In several Instances
threatened tho policemen with violence if
they did not leave.
"I received many complaints early tins
morning," ho said. "Friends and clients
called me up on the phone and asked what
could bo done with policemen demanding
admission.
"Tho policemen arc not to ho blamed.
They are acting only on orders from
higher up. Although these visits from po
licemen are annoying, they are doing the
Town Meeting party a world of good.
Director of Public Safety Wilson, in send
ing his policemen out on this errand, has
swung many votes toward the Town Meet
ing party."
The drive of tho Vare-Smlth police to
round up witnesses to prove Irregularity of
tho Town Meeting party's nomination papers
began early today with uniformed police
men making house-to-house canvasses of tho
homes of signers.
Lieutenants from nil the station houses
Including David Bennett, of the "Bloody
Fifth Ward were supplied by Superin
tendent Robinson with the affidavit petition
sheets of the new party that aro under
fire before Judgo Davis in Court of Common
Pleas No. 3.
Four hundred policemen from every dis
trict In the city, acting upon orders re
ceived from their respective lieutenants,
worked all night canvassing tho various
wards. Householders were awakened at
early hours this morning by patrolmen in
nn endeavor to find evidence of fraud In
the Town Meeting party's nomination pa
pers. When the attention of Director Wilson
was called to tho action of the police In
searching the city for more witnesses who
may be of value to the forces opposing the
new party, he declined to make any de
tailed statement

An anti-Liberty Loan plot has been re
ported as nipped m tho bud In Bucks Coun
ty. Liberty Loan posters in one township
were torn down ; several arrests aro ex
pected ; und It was said that a sweeping
Federal Investigation will bo made of tho
affair. Several persons are under suspi
cion. SOLICITORS ARE INSULTED
Dr. W, Albertson Haines, nf Edgoly, Is
tho chairman of the Wert Bristol Town
ship District Loan Committee, and Dr.
Horace Fieckehstlne, of Newportvllle, Is
the chairman In tho East Bristol Township
District. They look steps to secure a Fed
eral Investigation of charges that Liberty
Bond solicitors have been Insulted by the
men under suspicion.
Doctor Fleckenstlno suld:
"The mn who nro apparently the ring
leaders In this movement havo been rather
Indiscreet In their talk. The open Insults
offered to solicitors first drew our nttentlon
to what we believe Is a concerted movement
to hinder the sale of tho bonds. Men under
suspicion have openly said they weren't In
sympathy with tho war. and one man told
the solicitor he would purchase a German
bond In preference to one of tho present
Issue. We were very much disinclined at
first to believe that any persons with senti
ments so traitorous were harbored In East
Bristol township, but we no longer have
reason to doubt It. The tearing down of
the posters was the final outrage."
No efforts havo been mado in West Bris
tol district to Interfere with the Liberty
Loan advertising, but, according to Doctor
Fleckenstlne. "the suspects have worked
more skillfully and carefully in creating
sentiment against the loan."

U. S. RUSHES AHEAD
IN GREAT DRIVE
FOR LIBERTY LOAN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.
America is today marching onward from
success to triumph In tho second Liberty
Loan.
With the $3,000,000,000 minimum safely

Foot Tr ubles
This new discovery, mada from a
Japanese product, is certainly a wonder

or callous shrivels and lifts off.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns between
the toes. Just shrivel up nnd lift off so
cosy. Just think. Not one bit of pain
while applying Ice-mint or afterwards. It
Oiesn't even Irritate tho surrounding skin.
You will never have to cut a corn
again nnd run the risk of blood poison.
Say good-by to your old corn If it ever
feels tho magic touch of Ice-mint.
It Imparts BUCh n delightful, soothing,
cooling feeling to tho feet that you will
sigh with relief. ,
Ice-mint Is tho real Japanese secret for
fine, healthy, little feet. It keeps them
sweet and comfortable. It Is greatly ap
preciated by women who wear high heel
shoes.
Just aBk in any drug store for a little
Ice-mint nnd give your poor, suffering,
tired, swollen feet tho treat of their lives.
It costs little and there la nothing better.

BRIDGE COLLAPSE
IS BEING PROBED
Two Men Killed and Four
Hurt When Span Falls
Into Creek
MANY NARROW ESCAPES
A .rigid Investigation was started today
to determine the cause nnd fix responsibil
ity for tho collnpso of tho span of tho now
Concrete bridge over Pcnnpack Creek on
tho Northeast boulevard lato yesterday.
Two men were killed outright when tho ac
cident occurred. Several others wero In
jured seriously. Many had narrow escapes.
Tho collapse camo without tho slightest
warning, according to survivors. Tho span
gave way and crashed many feet Into tho
water below, burying several men under
the debris.
Tho cause of tho accident, unofficially, has
been attributed to the workmen, who nro
said to havo placed sections of tho center
span on tho concrete bases beforo the lat
ter were dry enough to bo used for sup
ports. Tho brldgo Is being erected at a cost
of $160,000,
Director Datcsman, of the Department
of Public Works, after a careful Investiga
tion and survey of the bridge, declared that
an engineering investigation Involving In
tricate mathematical calculations will be
necessary to ascertain tho causo of the col
lapse of the mlddlo span of tho steol frame.
Ho said that tho responsibility for tho ac
cident which cost two lives rests with tho
contractors Intrusted with tho work. He
likened tho accident to tho ono that oc
curred on the Quebec bridge a year or two
ago and said that every movo had been
figured out in advance to the smallest frac
tion. The bridgo Is n three-span construction,
sevonty-fivo feet ubove Ponnypack Creek,
and Is 150 feet long. Tho span which col
lapsed was eighty feet long.
Twenty men were on tho span and all
wero hurled Into tho creek. C. R. Camp,
superintendent of the bridge construction,
stood In the Northeast Boulevard, near the
scene of tho tragedy, and commandeered
several automobiles to hurry tho dead and
Injured workmen to the Frankford Hospital.
