November 24 Wednesday — The last of three days’ stay at the Hamilton Hotel. Sam kept their rooms there but stayed mostly with the Allens at Bay House [Nov. 26 to Clara]. On Dec. 6, however, he wrote daughter Jean that the Allens wouldn’t let him stay at the hotel so he gave up his room, Likely Paine kept his room.
Sam was among 500 who signed a petition to Premier Stolypin of the Czar’s Cabinet, Russia to plead for an open and public trial for Nicholas V. Tchaykovsky (Nikolai V. Chaikovsky) and Mme. Breshkovsky, charged with revolution [NY Times, Dec. 2, 1909, “American Active for Tchaykovsky”; cable sent Nov. 24, 1909].
