"Go away," said the Mayor.
Brennan did not go, and Mayor Koyal
I called Patrolman Larsen. The latter
was untangling a mixture of autos and
. wagons at Third and Walnut streets
and did not bear the Mayor's orders.
A few minutes later Mayor Koyal
found Brennan still begging. He was
run in. Before leaving for the jail
Brennan said:
| "I'm a gentleman, even if lam poor.
We all make mistakes sometimes."
Brennan went to jail for thirty days
this afternoon. Hp had forgotten all

111 TOLLS QUESTION
Committee From New York Cham- !
ber of Commerce Appears
in Washington
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., April 17.—In
terest in Congress in the proposed re
peal of the exemption of American
coastwise vessels from the payment of
Panama Canal tolls, which had to
some extent waned during the past
j few days because of critical develop
j ments in the relations between the
| United States and Mexico, was again
I to-day largely focussed upon the tolls
controversy which occupies the center
of the stage on the Senate side of the
Capitol. In the belief that the crisis
in the Mexican situation has now
I passed, members of Congress to-day
j showed renewed interest in t lie tolls
j question. The Senate committee ori
[ interoceanic canals continued to-day
jits hearings on the subject.. A com
i mittee of the New York Chamber of
Commerce appeared before the com-
I mittee and were ready to be heard.
| At the hearing to-day, Welding
i Ring, of the executive board of the
| New \ ork Chamber of Commerce,
| favored repeal on the ground that the
| exemption clause was a subsidy and
| violated treaty obligations, and said
j that his organization had voted for
| repeal by 333 to 7.
| Senator Bristow, opposite •peal,
j asked Mr. King why, if mIUi are
'charged through the Panama t'anal,
they should not bo charged fo: .'nter
;ing Now York and other harbors and
j rivers on which large sums of money
| have been spent. Senator Simmons
] contended there was no discrimination
| between American and foreign ships
i coming to American ports and rivers.

I State department in Holli
idaysburg and since that time I have
! had to set most of my thoughts on
i having to become sound happy and
j normal, and even took a university
! course in psychology, philosophy, etc.
!in order to study the thing myself."
J Dean at one time was a frequent
! visitor at the engineers' clubhouse
I His address on the registry at the

jby his relatives for the suicide is over

Purchasers Continue to Line
Up For Comedians
FRED STONE
Of Montgomery and Stone
Present Indications are that the Ma
jestic Theater will see one of the big-
Best days in its history to-morrow,
when Montgomery and Stone, surround
ed by a company of nearly 100 players,
com to town to present "The L<ady of
the Slipper," a gigantic musical com
edy that ran for an entire year in New
York.
The advance gale for both matinee
and evening is very promising. There
are still hundreds of good seats In all
sections of the house, but It Is doubtful
if any theatrical attraction ever met
with more ready response by the thea
ter-going public.
Persons who have telephone the
theater to have seats laid back are
cautioned that these tickets must be
taken up early before the performance
for which they are intended, as it is
only against the ruling of the travel
ing management of this show that
orders were taken in this way, and
then not until a guarantee had been
posted by the local management that
ail "lay-aways" would be either called
for or paid for by the house Itself.
Indications are that many persons
outside of the city will be here for this
treat. The show comes from the West,
and Jumps directly to Atlantic City, so
that persons In the middle Pennsylva
nia cities will have to make the trip to
Harrisburg if they want to catch the
Montgomery and Ctono show near at
j home.

| Hose dodged through the crowd In
i Park How and walking up to a point
'opposite the chauffeur, took quick aim I
! at .Mr. Mltchel and fired.
At the crack of the revolver Ncun
leaped from the car upon the shoul
ders of the man and bore him to the
sidewalk. This prevented him from
pulling the trigger of his revolver a
second time.
While the detective and Rose were
struggling on the sidewalk, the for-
I mer trying to get possession of the
revolver, Mr. Polk staggered and was
saved from sinking to the sidewalk
by the Mayor.
Blood was spurting from the mouth
of the corporation counsel, and lie
! was half carried to the police station
|in the basement of the City Hall,
where policemen attended him as best
they could with first aid material,
pending the arrival of surgeons.,
j A policeman standing a few feet
away from the automobile, blew his
whistle as soon as he saw Mr. Polk
stagger. With other policemen, he as
sisted the struggling detective In hold
ing Rose. They took the would-be
assassin into the City Hall basement,
where he was questioned in a room
adjoining that where Mr. Polk was
being treated.
! Mayor Mitchel came in and stooj by
the prisoner. Rose was trembling
I with fright and his hands shook.
"Why did you shoot at me?" the
, Mayor asked him.
Rose only mumbled.
"I won't say anything." he finally
shouted.
After detectives had put question
after question to him, he said his
name was Soloschen. When his cloth
ing was removed, however, it was
, found that his collar and trousers
| both bore the name "David Rose,,.
I The man was poorly dressed. When
. ■ asked where he lived he said he had
. j no home.
L j The questioning was still in pro
gress when Mr. Palk was removed to
II the New York hospital. His face.
. chin aand neck were bandaged, and
ti blood was pouring form his mouth
r | when he entered the ambulance. A
(surgeon said that nearly all his lower
■ | teeth had been knocked out and that
I the jaw bone had been pierced In two
. | places.
i, j Letter to Armstrong
In the prisoner's were two or three
leters and a newspaper clipping re
lating to the Goethals police bills.
One of the letters was a brief one, in
an envelope, stamped and addressed
I to "Mayor Armstrong, Pittsburgh, Pa."
; It was dated Aqril 14 and read:
"Armstrong:—You have done
your part and you soon will pay.
We will do our part and you will
see what part it will be."
The letter was unsigned.
A long, rambling letter on the gen
| eral subject of Mayor Mitohel's re
| cord on the police question began.
"Mitchell: You never lost some
of your old tricks and you never
• . will."
| A crowd of two thousand persons
: surrounded the City Hall while Mr.
; Polk and Rose were inside. Several
, morbidly curious in the crowd picked
• up teet'-' that liar been knocked from
Mr. Polk's mouth and had fallen on
| the running board of the machine,
i At the New York Hospital, after a
, more detailed examination. It was said
1 that Mr. Pold's Injury woufd not prove

I "Mr. Polk is conscious," said a bul
, ltin given out at the hospital at 2.30

IN FREIGHT TfUFFIC
More Cars Hauled Oyer Middle Di
vision Yesterday Than During
Any One Day This Month
Freight movement over the Middle
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday was &.593. This was the |
largest dully movement this month ;
and the best dally record made In j
April during the past two years.
The total movement of cars for the
first half of April was 81,000. The
average daily car movement, to date
Is 5,000. To date April shows an in
crease of 1,000 cars over the first
fifteen days for April, 1913, and 2,000
more than during the same time in
April, 1912.
March records still lead and it is
probable that April business will only
exceed that of the same month one
year ago. Some of the mines have
already shut down and any Increase in
business from now until the close of
April will have to be In general mer
chandise freight and preference traffic.
