SEPTION IN TEMPLE OF MUSIC, SHOT ATAR ‘The President was holding a reception in the Temple of Music, and the| crush there was tremendous. As the crowd filed by he shook each by the hand. Among the Presidential party which stood close by were several Secret-Service men. Nieman approached the President with a handkerchief about his left hand, which concealed the revolver. He made a motion as though to} shake hands and suddenly extended his left. The handkerchief fell from the weapon. For one brief instant the vast crowd that looked on saw Nieman, his eyes flashing with mad fire, standing there face to face with the head of eighty millions of people with the weapon almost touch- ing his breast. The President realized his danger at once. He looked straight at the assassin, his eyes slightly dilated with fear, his face paie but calm. All thls in the space of the tick of a watch. MR. AND MRS.

Meanwhile the wild- est panic reigned in the building. Many women fainted.

Then began the task of clearing the building, and as the crowd went outside there were cries for the life of the assassin, The police spirited the (man from the buignid! by a private entrance.
