and the haughty attendants of the hotelIn their liveries, and enter..; the elevator.

Captain O'Brien and his men. accom-panied by « ok. went to the nfth floor andstopped in front of room No. 7. There wasno response to the captain's order to openup. Cox said he could not open the door,

but when Detective Devanney produced anaxe and a jimmy md his chief announcedthat If the door was not opened he wouldsmash If In. »"ox l« ame alarm*d and sentfor the engine, who opened the do,, bythe simple expedient of Inserting a keyIn the lock.

The face of the assistant manager was astudy as he looked upon the scene thatlav iefore his eyes. A roulette wheel w.i!«one of the prominent furnishings of the ex-clusive suite. Near It were a table .nd aparking iox that went with the outfit.Hardly less prominent were a faro layoutand a bushel basket full of Ivory chips.

He couldn't understandthe presence of the wheel, ihe layout andthe chips in the Gregorian, in.!, at anyrate, he hadn't se»n the stuff come In.

Captain O'Brien interrupted to say thathe would see It go out. and his men Im-mediately started to clear the room. Co*Implored the police not to carry the stuffout by the front entrance because of theeffect It would have on the patrons of thehotel, but Captain O'Brien was Inflexible,and In five minutes the automobile patrolof the Tenderloin stall, was clanging Infront of the hotel and the detectives werepassing through the lobby with the Impos-ing array <if Implements of chance.It was t Mind that th« suite had been

'at the New York Theatre,

went up to Mattaauuja In a private caryesterday and entertained the Inmates.

Mr.;Hitchcock made'a speech, which

alienists said was unique In the history ofsuch performances. He represented himselfas a lunatic and toM funny stories, whichthe Inmates— both men and women—appre-ciated anil applauded. He said:

"1 feel at linn., among yiu. for as a mat-ter of fact If the authorities were on to

in*- IWould he here with you. Iam reallycheating, forIam Just as crazy as you are.Iknow a good deal about lunatics, becauseIgrew up In Auburn, opr^slte the big In-sane asylum. And my mother used to holdm* In her arms opposite aha barred win-dows, and 1 would coo up at the Inmates.who would coo right back again.

"Imade a close study of lunatics, and oneday Iwent Into the asylum to visit mvcousin, who was a keeper. He led methrough long passages, up find down inmvstairs and through a million d.»irs Thenhe left me. and Iwas lost. Ihad to findmy way back. 1 met ailunatlo, who showedin- through all those doors and down allthose stairs. Iwas all out of breath."

W. 11, he told the rest of the .-.lory whichends up. "Tag. you're It."

Then he wen\ on with his speech:"lAter In life Igave unmistakable signs

of Insanity. I went on the stage as acomedian, and It Is as a comedian that Icome before you to-day. Strolling through

the wards this afternoon 1 met a number«'f friends, among them my pal HenryShlpman (once a theatrical manager whowas convicted of murder for killingan ac-tress), who had the next cell to mill*- Inthe Tombs. Ihave a big laugh on 'Shippy'—Iam going to I«•i1 it to yon boys and

girls. 'Slilppy* was beam tested for hissanity, and Ma^awye* said la him: "Youare perfectly rational; you will be out ofhere in two weeks.' ' 'Snippy' said. 'Ifthat Is the case. Iam going home.

•He

wrote a letter to his people and was Justabout to pist if when the stamp fell on thefioo£ It lit on a cockroach, which ran up

the all "Shlppy1 looked at it. and throw-ing the. letter down in disgust, said. "Hell,Iwon't I,' out of here In two years.*

Then Hitchcock broke forth Into song.

He sang: •"What |Difference a FewHours Make" and The Man Who OwnsBroadway

"He closed by saying: "Ihope

1 shall M you all on Broadway soon, andif Idon't. Iwill see you up here."

Then other members of his companydanced and sang and told stories, and sixmusicians, led by Carl Waxelbaum, directorof the Broadway Theatre orchestra, played.The Inmates seemed very much pleasedwith the performance and applauded vig-orously.

Harry K. Thaw was invited to attend,

but he refused, saying it was a device ofDr. Flint, the alienist, who was present.to trap him.

rine i laugh. if you are to compete withforeign shipping you'll find it difficult, withAmerican crews getting IIper cent morein wages than Qreal Britain pays." it wasnot true, the speaker said, that Englishmerchant insurance companies affectedmaritime conditions here.

Mr. Nixon took issue v.ith Mr. Raid, say-ing th.- English Inauran -•\u25a0 companies al-ways worked against American shipping,and not only that, but tnat the ratingcompanies worked against American ship-ping.

"The right way to got the commerceback." be continued. "la to discriminate inthe Indirect trade-. The commercial \u25a0i-premacy of the world is v orth righting for.We can get back H per cent of the ship-ping we lost Immediately by returning to

in Hampton Roads, and tell the differencebetween Chesapeake Bay and the PotomacKlver. He would t.-ll it In his stomach.

Mr Taft saM

Iam glad to be h're to testify to my In-terest In th* waterways work. hat Iwi.-h to deprecate lia general propositionto raise a lot at money and dump somehere and there and some back her. . Justit, order to distribute It equally over thecountry. Iam opposed to that. Iam Infavor of expending the money for an im-provemenf In Norfolk, and not spending itfor Improvement somewhere else. If tl'.eNorfolk projet t Is a good one and the one.somewhere e!.-e is not.Iwant to say that !will take up what

Is projected and proposed with all thesympathy ix-ssible, but. nevertheless, withWhat Ihop) Is a Judicial spirit, to rejectwhat the evidence does not sustain and to

prove what the evidence dr*»s sustain.

Th« President referred to the battle ofthe Merrlmac mat the Monitor, and said:

Iwant a navy to continue to be main-tained worthy of this country. We are notknocking anybody's .hip off his •boulder,

and we are not having a chip on our shoul-der, but we are a grrat nation of eighty orninety millions of people, and we must. i:.order under th* present conditions tomaintain the piestlie that is proportionatetr» our stand before the world, have a navy

that la worth seeing and able to fight. Ifithas to.

Th*- President was taken by p|>erlal trainto «'ape Henry for an oid-fashloned oysterroast When he arose to >!\u25a0.-, \u25a0\u25a0 de-clared he f'lt like an oyster.

The navy. Mr. T.ift declared. should not"lilybe "worth seeing" but should 1... able«'» fight, if it «»ver has to. He expressedhi" interest In a proper growth of thenavy, and aroused a great deal of enthusi-asm by declaring that Hampton Roads andChesapeake Hay should be protected by anImpregnable Island fort \u2666 reeled midway be-tween the VtrgtaH Capes.
