don't cinch him because he Is a rich man.
If you do, you are a mighty mean creature
yourself,' you ara not ft good American
yourself. Give him a perfectly fair ahow.
If he la a poor man and does his duty help
him, stand him up. If he whines about It
and says that he ought to be carried, you
muy Just as well mako up your mind to
drop film then nnd there.
Kvory man of us stumbles at times. Every
mnn Of us nt tlmoa needs a helping hand
stretched out to him, and shame to any
man who will not stretch out that helping
hand to his brother If that brother needs It.
But If the brother lien down you can do
mighty little In carrying; him. You can
help him up, but he hua got to walk for
himself. The only wny In which you can
ever really help a man Is to help" him to
help himself.
That brings me to the second set of peo
ple here, whom I have been most especially
5 lad to see and to greet the children,
mlglng by the showing that San Antonio
has made today San Antonio Is all right as
regards both quality and quantity. I like
your stock. I'm glad that it does not seem
likely to die out. In passing through Texas
I have been more Impressed than by any
thing else by the evident care you are
giving to education, the evident care given
to training your children, the school 'facili
ties, both for preliminary and for higher
education, and the wny In which those
facilities were being taken advantage of.
Of course, It Is a mere truism to say that
the care of the children Is the greatest task
of any generation.
Real Duties of Life.
The worthy life of the nation, or the In
dividual, or the men and for the women, Is
the life of efilort for the things worth striv
ing for, and our whole aim should be not to
teach those who are to come after us to
shirk difficulties and to strive to have an
easy time in life; but that they are to
strive to do. their duty, whether that duty
la hard or not, and to feel that no approval
Is so great as the approval of doing their
duty. Of course that Is my conception of
the life for the nation as well as for the In
dividual. I am not going to develop my
theory about that. In the lirst place because
I want to keep clear of anything that you
mignc tnink toucnes in tn rain test degree
upon politics and the next place because I
believe you know pretty well how I feel,
anyway. We have got our duty to our
selves. We must handle ourselves so that
no weak power which is behaving Itself
shall have cause to fear us, and no strong
power of any kind shall be able to oppress
us or wrong us.
We all believe In the Monroe doctrine. 1
have a little difficulty in getting some of
my friends to accept my Interpretation of
It, but they will lit time, because that In
terpretation has come to stay. We are
building the Panama canal. While that
will be a benefit to all the country It will
be of most benefit to the gulf states. We
have duties In connection with the great
fosltlon we have taken. We cannot shirk
hese duties. We can do them well or do
them 111, but do them we must. That is
one reason why I want to see a good navy,
and we have a good navy.
I am going to use a simile that I used
a couple of nights ago In Dallas. In the
old days In Texas I understand that there
used to be a proverb that while you would
not generally want a gun at all, If you
did want It you wanted It quick and you
wanted it awfully bad. That Is Just the
way I feel about the navy. I feel that if
we have It the chances ara that we will
not need it; but that If we do not have
It we might need It awfully bad.
.Let me thank you again for the atten
tion you have given me; but I cannot
begin to express to you how It has touched,
how pleased I am by the way you have
received me, end I want you to understand
that while I think I was a pretty good
American when I came to Texas, I am
going to leave Texas an even better Amer
ican. At tha Fair Grounds.
After leaving the plasa the president's
progress was again hindered by wildly
cheering crowds that lined the streets
until he got far out on his way to tha
fair grounds.
After the party entered the fair grounds
the Rough- Riders pressed around the presi
dent and the secret service men moved
away. This informal reception lasted for
half an hour, the president greeting and
chatting with each of the men who had
served with him.
The route back to the city was along
Roosevelt avenue and past the arsenal
grounds. A large crowd In vehicles of
various kinds followed the party and tha
throngs grew more dense as the cavalcade
drew near the hotel.
A banquet was given the president In the
Menger hotel this evening by the Business
Men's club. At Its .conclusion the club
gave him a handsome pair of silver spurs,
with gold buttons and ornaments. The
presentation was made by Nat M. Washer,
who weeleomed the Rough Riders to San
Antonio yesterday. The president bade
farewell to the members of the command
In the parlors of the hotel. His train left
for Fort Worth at 11 o'clock tonight.
Grronlmo to Meet Prealdeat.
LAWTON, Okl., April 7.-A1I arrange
ments for the reception of President Roose
velt at Frederick have been made and
many persons have already started for that
point from all directions of the territory.
Qeronlmo, now a prisoner of war on the
Fort Sill military reservation, left today for
Frederick to plead with the president to
grant him freedom.
Indiana Sullen and I'cly.
HAYDEN, Colo., April 7.-Indlans In the
White river country where Piesldent
Roosevelt will hunt are reported to be sul
len and ugly because of the efforts of the
game wardens to drive them back to the
Uintah reservation. This news was brought
by T. M. Wingrove and son, trappers, who
have spent the entire winter In the White
river region.
The Apaches, the Wlngroves say, are
slaughtering deer ruthlessly and pay no at
tention to the perfunctory warnings of the
game wardens, who have no means of en
forcing their commands.
President Roosevelt, if he makes an ex
tended stay, It is said, will hardly fall to
encounter some of the bands of angry In
dians. They have heard that the "Great
White Father" Is coming, and some of the
redskins have announced their Intention
of holding a powwow with him.
PRESIDENT PAYS FOR HIS TRAIN
' 4
Settles at Hearular Rates for Ills Trip
Through West.
DENVER, Colo., April 7. Presidont
Roosevelt Is paying regular rates for his
special train. He will ask for only one
free ride during his trip in Colorado. That
Is the privilege of riding on the engine on
Its trip through the picturesque Red Rock
canyon near Basalt, Colo. This informa
tion was given out by General Manager
George Vallery of the Colorado Midland
railway today.
Vallery says all bills for transportation
of the special train are to be settled
through the auditing department of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
Precautionary measures for the safety of
the president have been completed. A pilot
train will be run ahead of the special over

"JACK THE RIPPER" REVIVAL
Woman Killed In Kerr York In Man
ner Followed by London
Criminal.
NEW YORK, April 7.-Elements of mys
tery recalling the stories -of "Jack the
Ripper," who terrorised the Whltechupel
district of London years ago, led to the
sensational stabbing today In a Thirteenth
street hotel of a young woman. She died
in a hospital a few hour after the stab
bing. A patron of tha hotel, whom the
police put under arrest, although admit
ting he was In the woman's company a
short tlmo before she was Injured, de
clared he did not know how she received
the wound that resulted In her death.
The woman, whose name was Mamie
Wilson, was stabbed in the abdomen. The
wound was made by a very long knife,
for which the police are unable to account
and which the man under arrest protests
did not belong to him. The character of
tha cut was similar to that made on the
victims of the London "Jack the Ripper."
The man under arrest is James Boyne, a
club steward. He told the police he was
with the woman last night, but said that
she had left him and he did not know
how she was stabbed. When he was ar
rested it was found that seven of Boyna's
teeth had been knocked out and that one of
his eyes had been blackened by a blow.
SUITS AGAINST
STANDARD
Independent Dealers la Xorth and
Sooth Dakota File Complaints
with Hallway Commission.
ST. PAUL. Minn.. April 7.-The fight
against the Standard OH company has been
carried Into North Dakota by Independent
oil dealers of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The railroad and warehouse commissioners
of North Dakota held a conference today
with the Minnesota railroad commissioner
at the state capitol, at which the situation
was gone over.
The North Dakota commissioners said
that a complaint similar to the one filed
with the Minnesota commission a few
weeks ago by independent dealers had been
filed with them and that notices of the
complaint will be sent out to railroads. It
was aUo said that a complaint has been
filed with the South Dakota commission.
Nothing was said as to the possible out
come of the struggle, as the conference
was held merely to compare notes and to
ascertain what the conditions really are
la the two states.
POLICE SEARCH CEMETERIES
Russian Officials Look for Incendiary
Emblems on New Made Grayes,
NEW PRESS REGULATIONS IN FORCE
Nothing Affecting tsar or Imperial
Family Mar Be Published .
Without Consent of the
Court tensor.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aorll 7. The efforts
of the police to smother the political agita
tion has led them even to Invade the ceme-
terles in their search for evidence of trea
son. It has becutue the practice of stu
dents to place on the graves of comrades
who were active or who suffered In the
cause of freedom wreaths bound with rib
bons, on which political sentiments are
inscribed. The police now make nocturnal
Visits to the cemeteries In search for these
treasonable mottoes, which are promptly
confiscated. But being ignorant, the police
men make curious mistakes. The other
day a harmless Inscription In Greek, simply
expressive of sympathy, was seized, and
on Wednesday a red ribbon attached to a
wreath, although on the grave of a well
known official, being Interpreted by the po
lice as a revolutionary emblem, which
they not only cut off, but created so much
alarm that a general order was sent out
to all venders of mortuary wreaths prohib
iting the sale of red ribbons.
The stories of suffering on the part of
the widows and families of soldiers at the
front are attracting general attention and
tho public demands aid for the sufferers.
The local charities are no longer able to
cope with the situation. In many places
the funds raised for this purpose are en
tirely exhausted and the provincial papers
are filled with pathetic accounts of starv
ing mothers and children begging In the
streets.
Hungry Women Ilea; Bread.
At Nishnl Novgorod, the palace of the
government was besieged by a crowd of
hungry women, with babes in their arms,
asking for bread. The governor informed
the women that he would appoint a com
mission to Investigate the situation. His
reply aroused the ire of the local press.
Tho VledomoEtl said: "Always the eternal
commission; while It Is investigating the
women and children will starve."
M. PobeilonostselT's position that of pro
curator general of the holy synod will be
abolished if the patriarchate la re-established,
and Antonlus, the metropolitan of St.
Petersburg, as the highest archbishop, will
become patriarch.
Under the new press regulations the
papers ara not permitted to publish any
thing affecting the emperor and Imperial
family without the consent of the court
censorship.
The Imperial chancellery has formally re
quested the Kobeko commission, which Is
revising the press regulations, to include
this restriction, and such a request the
commission regards as being equivalent to
an Imperial order.
tsar Absent from Review.
The annual parade of the Horse Guards,
always heretofore one of the most spec
tacular military ceremonies as well as
social functions of the year, was chieily
notable today by the absence of Emperor
Nicholas and the Imperial family. The
Horse Guards Is the emperor's own regi
ment and never before has he failed to
attend Its annual parade. With the em
press, dowager empress and the entire
court, the emperor remained in Tsarskoe
Selo. The only grand dukes who ventured
out of their palaces were Nicholas, Boras
and Alexander Michaelovitch, the first
named representing the emperor. Even
Grand Duke Vladimir, commander of the
military district,, was not present, the ex
planation being that he was detained at
the palace on account of sickness. The
danger to the imperial family was re
garded as especially great today, as It
happened that this was the festival of the
Immaculate Conception, one of the strictest
religious holidays.
Public Is narred.
Business was suspended. The entire popu
lation was in the streets and the fear of
an untoward incident in view of the ac
tivity of the terrorists, induced extraor
dinary precautions. Mounted gendarmes
were stationed at the bridges and In the
streets leading to the barracks of the regi
ment on the Horse Guards' boulevard to
keep back the rougher element and ordi
nary spectators were not allowed to ap
proach within a block. The parade, In
stead of occurring in the open space by
the barracks, took place within the riding
school, being in every way a purely per
functory affair, few foreign representatives
and members of society being present.
After the trooping of the colors the regi
ment marched to the Church of the As
cension, adjoining the barracks, where re
ligious services were held. The area
around the church was filled with solid
phalanxes of cuirassiers and chevalier
guards, who later greeted Grand Duke
Nicholas ns he emerged from the church
with hurrahs always given to members of
the Imperial family. The public had only
a glimpse of the representative of the
ruling dynasty and no echoing cheers came
from the crowd. t
The ceremony of trooping the colors was
also carried out in the square of the win
ter palace by the troops on duty there.
The police made a number of arrests,
but both military displays happily passed
off without disturbances.

Socialist Demonstration.
The workmen of the village of Smolensk
made a demonstration tocfay, the occasion
being the burial of an employe of the
Pahl factory, who was killed by policemen
a few days ago. Six thousand persons
assembled early in the morning In a heavy
snowstorm and awaited the funeral pro
cession. There were red flags everywhere
and a wreath deposited by socialists on the
coffin was Inscribed, "Died an Innocent vic
tim In the struggle for victory." After
the Interment revolutionary proclamations
were scattered among the people, and a
procession was fur mad, headed by a social
ist carrying a banner Inscribed: "Death
to the csar, the assassin."
At this Juncture a largo force of (military
and police Interfered,, dispersed: the mob
and seized the wreaths and banners. The
workmen did not attempt serious opposi
tion and none was erlou.0y Injured.
Several Doctors Elected.
MOSCOW, April 7. Several members of
the medical congress have been arrested.
A congress of doctors from all parts of
Russia was held in Moscow this week, os
tensibly to consider means for combating
an expected tpldemle of cholera, but Us
proceedings assumed- considerable of the
character of a political assemblage. Reso
lutions were adopted declaring that under
existing political and economic conditions
it would be practically Impossible to fight
an epidemic of disease, as doctors would
not be safe from attack by Ignorant pens
ants angered by the prevalent distress. The
reesolutlons proceeded to demand changes
in the system of allotment of lands, reform
In 'taxation, the convoking of an elective
constituent assembly and other articles of

Express Drivers Intimidated.
During the afternoon five express wagons,
two from the American Express company
and others from the Wells-Fargo, United
States and Northern Pacllic Express com
panies, drove up o the entrance of the
Ward building. Crowds Jeered the drivers
ancf surged about the wagons despite the

they would be considered as enemies to the
union.
The teamsters turned the horses about
and amid the cheers of tha crowd drove
away, many women spectators wan-Ins

Employers Ask Injunction..
A decision to ask the United States dis
trict oourt to restrain the strikers was
reached tonight by the employers. The pe
tition will be filed by the General Managers'

BOB M'MANUS IS CAPTURED
Last Member of "Black Jack
Ketchum's" Gang: of Ontlawa
Is In Prison,
TRINIDAD, Colo., April 7. After a hunt
covering a period of six years, Ed Franks,
alias Bob McManus, said to be the last
surviving member of "Black Jack Ketch
urn's" notorious band of train robbers that
terrorized New Mexico nnd southern Colo
rado for many years, was placed In the
county Jail at Trinidad today. He was
arrested thirty miles south of Trinidad by
George Tltsworth and William Thatcher,
deputy sheriffs.
Franks lived alone in a desolate canyon,
difficult of pproach. After locating
Franks' house the officers were compelled
to make a detour, crawling much of the
distance, as the place commanded a view
of the open country for miles around.
Franks was building a corral when the
officers surprised him. He had a six
shooter nnd a rifle close at hand, but made
no fliht.
Franks will be tried at Clayton, N. M.,
on a charge of train robbery, which is a
capital offense In that territory.
After 'Black Jack's gang held up the
Colorado & Southern passenger train In
July, 1S98, near Folsom, N. M., securing
a large sum of moneV. the robbers sep
arated. Ed Farr, then sheriff of Huerfano
county, with a posse, surrounded' Franks,
Sam Ketchum, a brother of Black Jack,
and a man named McOInnls, near Folsom.
and a lierce fight ensued. Sheriff Farr
was killed and two other members of the
posse wounded. Sam Ketchum also was
killed and McGlnnls wounded. McGinnls
was captured a few days later and is now
serving a life sentence. One month after
the Cimmaron battle Black Jack, alone, at
tempted to hold up the Colorado & South
ern passenger, was wounded by Conductor
Frank Harrington and cuptured. He was
convicted of train robbery and hanged.
Members of tho posse have always de
clared that Sheriff Farr was killed by
Franks. Jeff Farr succeeded his brother
as sheriff and kept up a constant search
for the fugitive.

INDIANS WILL TAKE LAND
Those of Fort Intra Reservation
Willing; to Receive Allot- I.
ments and Cash.
FORT YATES, N. D., April 7. In a great
council called by Major McLaughlin, the
Indians of this reservation decided almost
unanimously that they were ready to have
their lands allotted. Each head of a fam
ily will have 640 acres nnd all over 18 years
320 acres. In addition they will get a span
of good American mares, two cows, a
wagon and harness, a plow, harrow, some
other tools and $50 in cush. All under 18
will get 160 acres.
After the allotments have been made
there will be a big surplus of land. The
Indians are bitterly opposed to s?ttling
