GOTHAM THRONGS
EXTEND OVATION
Trip Through the Streets of
New York Is a Journey of Tri
umph for the Returning
Traveler.
New York, June 18.—Theodore
Roosevelt, ex-president of the
United States, statesman and cos
mopolitan traveler, was greeted
back to his native land today by
such a demonstration of popular
enthusiasm and personal devotion
as has seldom, if ever, been accord
ed to a returning American trav
eler. Each step in this eventful
homecoming, from the time he de
barked from the steamship Kaiser
in Auguste Victoria until he
moved up Broadway amid the tu
multuous demonstrations of vast
*** throngs of people, was one continu
ous ovation and tribute of popular
enthusiasm.
New York, June 18.—Former Presi
dent Roosevelt returned today to New
York from a trip through Africa and
Europe, which began Immediately on
his leaving the White House, and which
has lasted for 15 months.
The steamer kaiserln Auguste Vic
toria, on which he sailed from Eng
land, June 10, entered New York harr
bor at 7 o’clock this morning and was
greeted by the battleship South Caro
lina with the national salute of 21
guns.
At 8:30 o'clock Mr. Roosevelt was
transferred from the Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria to the revenue tug Manhat
tan, where he was welcomed by a num
ber of personal friends and relatives
and Captain Archibald W. Butt, repre
senting President Taft.
Shortly after this he was transferred
from the Manhattan to the revenue cut
ter Androscoggin, which leads the
water parade that takes him up as far
as Fifty-ninth street. North river, and
down to the battery, where he was of
ficially welcomed by Mayor Gaynor. of
New York, at 11 o’clock.
Streamers Flutter.
Bedecked with signal flags and with
the guns from Fort Wadsworth and
Fort Hamilton booming out In Wel
come the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria
glided into quarantine at 7:38 o’clock.
Immediately behind the big liner came
six ships of the navy, the battleship
South Carolina In the van, while at
anchor in the roadstead awaiting her
coming was the United States dispatch
boat Dolphin, with the secretary of the
navy on board. The battleship already
had saluted the returning former pres
ident at Sandy Hook with 21 guns, but
on coming to anchor alongside the liner
the South Carolina hoisted long strings
of pennants and the river craft Joined
in the demoinstration with loud and
f prolonged blasts from their whistles.
Flanked by Mrs. Roosevelt, his
daughter. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
and his son, Kermlt, Theodore Roose
velt stood on the flying bridge of the
liner above all the decks of the bridge
and with his characteristic smile over
spreading his tanned countenance—and
a shiny silk hat in his hand, he waved
acknowledgment to the pandemonium
on all sides of him.
Mr. Roosevelt lost no time on board
the Auguste Victoria. The usual cus
toms and health inspection formalities
accomplished, he at once transshipped
to the revenue tug Manhattan where,
with the immediate members of his
family and a few Intimate friends he
sat down to a hasly breakfast.
There was more firing of big guns
as Mr. Roosevelt left the Manhattan for
Vthe Androscoggin. Then comparative
quiet while in the upper bay patrol
boats darted back and forth among 101
craft of every description marshalling
them in line for the parade.
Dolphin Leads Parade.
The United States steamship Dol
phin, leading the parade and closely
followed by the Androscoggin, got away
at 12 minutes past 9 o’clock.
The first address of welcome present
ed to Mr. Roosevelt was handed him
by the boarding pilot, on behalf of
the Pilots' association. This associa
tion was the last to speed the colonel
on his departure from New York.
Health Officer Doty was first of those
from ashore to pay his respects to Mr.
Roosevelt.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts;
Congressman Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio, and Captain Butt boarded the
Kaiserin from the Manhattan and were
received by Mr. Roosevelt In his state
room.
As the cutter Manhattan came along
side the Kalserln Auguste Victoria Mr.
Roosevelt made his way through a
group of second-cabin passengers who
clustered along the rail, and, spying
his children on the Manhattan, called
to them and threw them kisses.
Greetings Are Warm.
Mrs Roosevelt was the first to come
down the gang plank from the Kalserln
to the Manhattan. In a moment she
had thrown her arms about Archie and
Quentin and effusively kissed and
hugged both of them. She next greeted
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., and his fiancee,
Miss Eleanor Alexander.
Mr Roosevelt made a flying leap to
the deck of the Manhattan and with
the exuberance and spirit of a school
boy he slapped his son Theodore on the
back He then turned to Miss Alex
ander and kissed her. He took up
Quentin and Archie In his arms and
gave them resounding smacks.
These greetings over, Mr. Roosevelt,
with Collector of the Port Loeb at Ills
side, extended cordial greetings to the
others on board the Manhattan. He
shook hands with everybody. Including
members of the crew.
In the meantime the big liner was
hemmed In close by mail boats and
newspaper tugs, while clustering about
this central group were tugs, yachts,
excursion boats, lighters and all kinds
of merchant craft, all gayly decorated
with flags.
The South Carolina came to anchor
1,000 feet in front of the liner and two
MEXICANS SURROUNDED”
AND MARCHED TO JAIL
El Paso, Tex., June 21.—A special
from Nateo, Ariz., says 63 Mexicans
were surrounded at a rendezvous in
Cananea, Thursday night and marched
to jail by troops. Nearly 100 rifles were
seized. Cananea Is where the Mexican
revolutionary uprising occurred three
years ago.
More troops are now enroute from
Herir.osillo. A prominent anti-Diaz
~ tnan at Naeo Sonora, Is Quoted as say
cable lengths away from the Dolphin.
Once more the gruns belched forth a
salute, this time from the battleship to
the secretary of the navy and from the
secretary’s boat In return. Simultane
ously with the firing of this last gun
both ships broke out lines of burgee
and signal flags from masthead to deck
line.
As the time for Colonel Roosevelt’s
arrival at the battery drew near enor
mous crowds swarmed toward battery
park, overflowing the sidewalks and
almost tying up traffic in the lower
part of the city.
Holiday for City.
The whole city had taken on a holi
day appearance. Flags floated every
where, pictures of Roosevelt were hung
in thousands of windows, and along
the line of march buildings were druped
with bunting.
At 9:28 the Kalserln Auguste Vic
toria passed the battery, going up the
North river to her berth in Hoboken.
She roared a deep bass salute and a
siren answer. It was estimated that
by the time Colonel Roosevelt arrives
at the battery 100,000 persons will be
massed there. All the stands were
crowded with white canvas and dec
orated with bunting and flags.
Directly in front of the stand from
which Mr. Roosevelt speaks a space
has been reserved for the reception
committee and other guests of the day.
Back of this the people began piling
up, row on row. by thousands, patiently
awaiting the coming of the ex-presi
dent.
While the naval parade was still in
visible from the Manhattan shore all
the whistles in the lower harbor broke
into a furious din. Roosevelt was ap
proaching and the crow'd began to stir
nervously.
Swift excursion steamers, their rails
black with sight-seers, began to file by
the battery and still the parade was in
visible. At 9:55 the thunder of a salute
came rolling across the harbor.
First Ship in Sight.
A moment later the white hull of the
first ship in the parade dressed from
stem to stern in flags, came in sight
and the 71st regiment band, stationed
on the water front, struck up “Colum
bia, the Gem of the Ocean.”
As the gray-hulled South Carolina
came abreast of the Robins Reef light
a rift of white foam at her bow. the
patrol fleet of revenue cutters swung
into position to starboard and port of
the line and slowly the maratlme pa
geant passed on with the Androscoggin
Immediately behind the skirmish line
of war vessels.
Behind the Androscoggin the mer
chant vessels took their positions in
double columns maintaining a distance
of 300 feet. Divided into 12 divisions
commanded by as many vice commo
dores, the parading fleet, nearly 200
strong, steamed up the bay and into
the Hudson, keeping well In towards
the New York shore. When opposite
the stake boat anchored off 59th street,
the procession turned in towards the
Jersey shore and steamed down the
! rlvor tn tho hottomr
As the defile reached the lower end of
Manhattan, every craft afloat and
every factory ashore, put Its enthusi
asm Into steam and let loose a pande
monium such as Is heard, but once a
year, at midnight of December 31.
At the battery as the morning wore
on, the crowd grew denser, but,
hemmed in as it was by the police and
the obstructing dock houses it could
see little of the water parade.
After the Androscoggin turned the
mark boat at 59th street, the crowds
turned from the shore and made their
way to the streets along which the
land parade was to move.
Second only in Interest to the return
ing traveler were the delegations of
westerners.
The march of the Rough Riders down
Broadway on their way to greet their
old commander at the battery, was the
signal for an enthusiastic welcome all
along the line. The troopers wore yel
low khaki with buckskin leggings and
broad brimmed gray slouch hats. Their
noises looked '.ike mustangs, accoutred
with heavy military saddles and blank
ets as though ready for campaign.
'rhey moved in battalion formation,
the ranks extending for two blocks
along the roadway with flags flying,
and their rough rider band playing.
Colonel Roosevelt left the Androscog
gin batte -y at 10:55 a. m. and walked to
his place in the speaker's stand accom
panied by Mayor Gaynor. “Is there a
stenographer," was his first question.
On assurance that there was, he said:
“Good. Now we will go ahead. Boys,
I’m feeling fine."
"This beats Africa and Europe," said
Colonel Roosevelt as he stepped brisk
ly up the gangplank from the revenue
cutter Manhattan to the larger cutter
Androscoggin, as it lay of quarantine.
Mayor Gaynor welcomed Colonel
Roosevelt briefly and Mr. Roosevelt be
gan his reply Immediately. His voice
was a little hoarse, but he spoke with
his usual vigor and declamatory effect.
A cheer and a laugh went up when he
said with emphasis. "I enjoyed myself
immensely.”
Roosevelt said:
Thank you, Mayor Gaynor, through you
I thank your committee and through them
I wish to thank the American people for
their greeting. I need hardly say I anj
deeply moved at the reception given me.
No man could receive such a greeting
without being made to feel both very
proud and humble.
I have been away a year and a quarter
from America and I have seen strange and
Interesting things, alike in the heart of
the frowning wilderness and In the capi
tals of the mightiest and most highly pol
ished of civilized nations.
I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and
now I am more glad than I can say to
get home, to be back In my own country,
back among the people I love. I am
ready and eager to do rny part so far as
I am able In helping solve problems which
must be solved if we of this, the greatest
democratic republic on which the sun
has ever shone are to see Its destinies rise
to the high level of our hope and Its op
portunities.
This Is the duty of every citizen, hut It
Is peculiarly my duty; for any jnan who
has ever been honored by being made
president of the United States Is thereby
forever after rendered the debtor of the
American people and Is bound throughout
his life to remember this as his prime ob
ligation and In private life as much as In
public life so to carry himself that the
American people may never have cause
to feel regret that once they placed him
at the head.
Everywhere the returning traveler
met the same whirlwind of demonstra
tive greetings as he went through the
packed city streets.
Mr. Roosevelt stood erect In his car- i
rlage most of the time, his silk hat In
his right hand waving responsive greet
ings to the re-echoing cheer3. By noon
the popular welcome was practically
concluded and Mr. Roosevelt joined
relatives for lunch preparatory to re
turning to his home at Oyster Bay later
In the day.

SENATE APPROVES OF
THE RAILROAD BILL
Fifty Votes Are Given Adminis
tration Measure—Eleven
Democrats Nay.
Washington, June 21.—By a viva
voce vote which was practically unan
imous, the House today, after nearly
two hours of discussion, agreed to the
conference report on the railroad bill,
which passed the Senate yesterday. No
amendment was offered or adopted.
The bill now goes to the president for
signature.
Chairman Hamilton, of the House
committee on territories, announced to
day that he would ask the House to
concur all the Senate's amendments to
the statehood bill.
The chances of a “verdict" from the
Balllnger-Plnchot Investigating com
mittee during the present session of
congress are remote. The committee
held a meeting today behind closed
doors, but It was announced that an
adjournment has been taken until next
Saturday.
Washington, June 21.—The sonate
yesterday placed its stamp of approval
on the administration railroad bill,
which has been pending in one stage
or another almost since the beginning
of the conference committee on that
measure. The vote came at the close
of a day devoted to a fragmentary dis
cussion of the measure, and was with
out especial feature. The report pre
vailed by a large majority, the ayes
being BO and the nays 11. All of the
negative votes were cast by democrats,
and Senators Chamberlain, Clay, Mc
Enery, Simmons, Stone and Taylor
united with the republicans in support
of the bill.
Announcing his intention of voting
for the conference report. Senator
Cummins expressed the opinion that
the bill reported was as good as the
Senate bill, if not better. Nevertheless,
there were many chances for improve
ment and the Iowa senator proceeded
to point them out. His old opposition
to the commerce court provision first
found expression, and he again prophe
sied undesirable results from the oper
ation of this portion of the law.
With reference to the long and short
haul provision, Senator Cummins ex
pressed the opinion that under it the
Interstate Commerce commission would
have practical control of the situation.
He thought the railroads would be slow
to challenge the law because of the
fear of getting something worse.
Holds Clause Unconstitutional.
"Does the senator consider the long
and short haul provision unconstitu
tional?" asked Senator Smoot, abruptly.
The Iowa senator confessed that he
did so regard it.
"If that should prove to be the case,”
responded Senator Smoot, "then there
will be a provision that there can be no
question about. In that event there
will be other measures that will not be
to the advantage of the railroads."
STATEHOOD BILL IS
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
Washington, June 21.—The statehood
bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico
to the union passed the house at 3 p.
m. It now requires the signature oi
the president to become law. By a viva
voce vote the House concurred in the
Senate amendments to the bill.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
DISTINCTLY BETTER
Crop News Continues Encour
aging and the Steel Market
Improves.
New York, June 21.—Bradstreet says:
Irregularity and relative quiet are
still the ruling features in trade and in
dustry, but evidences of improvement
in western distribution are rathei
sharply in contrast with the reports oi
slow trade recently received. Warmer
weather is the key to the better cron
and trade reports received this week
from the west, northwest and south
west, w-hile cool, moist conditions along
the Atlantic coast, now disappearing,
have been a bar to trade and crop de
velopments in the east. Relatively
best reports come from western cities
and towns, while country trade, though
better, is slower to respond, owing to
farmers being busy on work delayed.
R. G. Duun says:
Crop news continue encouraging, the
iron and steel market improves, while
foreign trade now shows an excess oi
export, and in these three important
particulars the business outlook is dis
tinctly better.
The primary dry goods markets still
reflect light trading, but agents hand
ling cotton goods lines are holding
prices generally Arm. Jobbers In
western markets have been shading
prices at clearance sales to reduce
stocks preliminary to stock tak
ing, while announcement is made by a
large western house that the usual
semiannual clearance sales will bo
omitted on the grounds that the costs
af replacements are above current val
ues.

CHINESE SAILORS
MUTINY AND JUMP
IN SEA; FOUR DROWN
Philadelphia, June 20.—A mutiny on
board the British steamship Highland
Monarch, outward bound for Auckland,
New Zealand, followed by a dash for
liberty by a dozen Chinese members of
the crew resulted In the d row nine *o
day of four, and the narrow esca’ of
three others. The men rescued a in
a police station while the remalml r of
the mutineers are In Irons aboard the
ship.
The trouble started last night. The
Highland Monarch had been lying In
the Schuylkill river at Point Breeze In
the extreme sounthwestern part of the
city for three weeks, loading case oil
for New Zealand. As the United States
Immigration law places a fine of $500
on the captain of a steamship for every
Chinese member of a crew that es
capes, the 20 Chinamen aboard were
not permitted to leave the vessel while
the other 20 men In the crew, all En
glishmen, were given liberal shore
leave.
The confinement grew Irksome and as
the ship was to Ball today, one of the
mongolians asked First Mate Bowman
to allow him a few hours on shore. Be
ing refused, the Chinaman drew a
knife and chased the first mate about
the ship. The man was finally tripped
by a white member of the crew and in
falling cut himself.
DRUNK; I DON’T CARE!
TELEPHONE MY WIFE
Declared Illegal for Cop to Take
You Home If
"Soused.”
Chicago, 111., June 20.—It's all right,
fellows, you can telephone to your wife
that "business will detain me late to
night” and then get a happy “souse”
without fear of being taken home In a
wheelbarrow by a policeman.
It’s a good tip, because Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Howard Hayes, who
himself Is married, yesterday gave a
written opinion to that effect. In so
many words Mr. Hayes told the city
council Judiciary committee that any
policeman who dared take a man home
when he Is "pickled” would ao so at
his own peril.
In giving his opinion Mr. Hayes over
rules the theory of Judge McKenzie
Cleland, sponsor of an ordinance pend
ing before the committee, which pro
vides that all "drunks" be taken home
instead of to police stations.
His Idea, It seems, Is that when a
married man Is "soused" It is a much
greater punishment to wheel him home
In a wheelbarrow, or something like
that, than It Is to call the patrol wagon
and cart him to a cell. Pretty nearly
anyone, the Judge figures, can square
an arrest for "disturbing the peace.”
but hardly anyone can square It with
his wife if a stalwart "copper” drags
him to his front door.

BRIDE-ELECT IS A
SUICIDE FOR LOVE
OF MARRIED MAN
"Take My Advice, Don’t Bluff;
I Bluffed and Must Pay the
Penalty of My
Life.”
New York, June 20.—The strange dis
appearance of Miss Minnie K. Wentz,
governess In the home of Eben E. Whit
man, a wealthy cotton merchant of
Lawrence, L. X., was cleared up when
she was found dead In the cellar of the
home of her uncle, August Ganzer. with
a bullet hole In her right temple. The
revolver with which she shot herself
was clasped In her powder-burned
hand.
From unmalled postal cards she left
It Is taken that love for a married man
caused her to end her life. Miss Wentz,
who was 20 years old, had been engaged
to marry Ludwig Relchold, manager of
an electrical concern. She came to this
city from Lawrence on Wednesday of
last week to spend a day with her
brother, Eric Wentz, and his wife.
Her fiance, who had furnished a house
at Portchester, L. I., for Ills bride-to-be,
was to see her the next night at the
home of Ganzer, and there they were to
have arranged to take out a license to
marry on Friday. Relchold telephoned
to Miss Wentz at her brother’s home on
Wednesday night, and she expressed
delight that the day of the wedding was
so near.
Last Words to Her Fiance.
i ii ut* sure 10 see you lomurruw
night,” was her last word to him.
Relchold went to her uncle’s home on
Thursday night with a boquet of whit*
roses and waited two hours for his
sweetheart, but she failed to appear.
While he waited ho talked with th*
girl's aunt and was amazed to learn
that Miss Wentz, some days before, had
expressed doubt that she ought to mar
ry. Deeply perplexed, Relchold re
turned to Portchester late that night.
On the next day Dr. Whitman tele
phoned Relchold asking If he knew
where Miss Welntz was, Whitman hav
ing expected her back at hla home In
Lawrence. Shortly after that the po
lice were asked to hunt for the young
governess. They searched the woods
of Lawrence and also Whitman's town
house, where she had told her brother
she proposed going for the Jewelry she
had left there.
Detectives called at thu home of Mrs.
Ganzer In the hope of getting a clew,
but she told them she had not seen
Miss Wentz, The disappearance was
shrouded In mystery.
The discovery of the suicide was
made yesterday afternoon while Mrs.
Ganzer, with a newspaper reporter,
were looking over the Ganzer home for
a photograph of the governess, by the
publication of which It was hoped she
might be traced. Mrs. Ganzer thought
of a trunk In the wood bln of her cel
lar, In which were some of Miss Wentz's
belongings.
As Mrs. Ganzer, with a lighted taper
In hand, groped her way Into the wood
bln, she came upon the governesses’s
body, lying close to the trunk. Mrs.
Ganzer shrieked and fainted.
Coroner's Physician Weston found
Miss Wentz’s handbag lying at her side.
In It were five postal cards with grew
some pictures upon them of a woman
prostrate before a tomb. The cards
were addressed to various members af
the family. One of them, written to her
brother. Eric, gave the only hint of the
reason for the suicide. It read:
"Dear Eric—This, I guess, will be the
last that any of you will hear from me.
Take my advice and don’t bluff. I
bluffed and must pay the penalty of my
life. I was to marry today, but Instead
I die by my own hand. God bless you
and keep you safe. Lovingly, your sla
ter, Minnie.”
Loved a Married Man.
Eric Wentz told a reporter that bla
sister had spoken to him of a man other
than Relchold, while Mrs. Ganzer went
further and explained that Miss Wentz
had confided to her that this man was
married and that she loved him. The
conclusion of the girl's relatives Is that
She found, on the eve of her proposed
marriage to Relchold, that she could
not carry out her promise.
To her fiance, Miss Wentz left a
postal card reading:
"Forgive the deed, dearest. There is
no other way for me. On the day we
are to be married, I do that which costs
me my life."
The coroner’s physician expressed the
belief that Miss Wentz had gone to the
cellar late last Thursday, or early Fri
day, while the family was In another
part ef the house. She could have en
tered threugh the basement by slipping
the catch on an Iron door and got to
the cellar unobserved. She had prob
ably pawned some of her Jewelry to buy
the revolver. The wood bln Is so tight
ly closed up that the sound of the shot
was muffled.

OFFERS TO SELL S1SO
HORSE FORJO CENTS
Had First Priced Animal at*
$1.50—Wanted Theater
Money.
New York, June 18.—A perfectly
sound horse here was offered for sal*
for 10 cents yesterday at the Rocke
feller Institute for Medical Research.
The animal was worth 8160.
But antl-vlvisectlonlsts need not ex
claim in horror. The horse was not of
fered for purposes of medical research.
It was not carved up—In fact. It was
not bought. The young man who would
have parted with it for two nickels was
only 9 years old, and he was willing to
let It go at a sacrifice to satisfy his ap
petite for moving pictures. Ten cents
would have paid his way Into a ‘'nickel
odeon" twice, and for that pleasure he
would have parted with an entire herd
of horses.
The boy was Arthur Lawton, of 1411
Avenue A. Peewee Schubert, who Is
younger, "Just went along." AH the
dickering was done by Arthur.
John Wrobell, a truckman of 141*
Second avenue, had given Arthur 5
cents to lead a horse from Curran’s
stable on Seventy-fifth street, near
Avenue A. Arthur started southward,
but on the way decided to sell the
horse. He led the steed to the side of
9 building, where he met a doorkeeper.
Arthur first offered to part with hie
charge for |1.5*. The doorkeeper look
ed amaied, the horse Insulted. Then
Arthur kept scaling the price down un
til he reached a dime. It Isn’t every
day that horses worth $150 are placed
,on the market for 10 cents, and the
doorkeeper telephoned to police head
quarters. Sqpn Master Lawton found
himself In the Bast Sixty-seventh
police station. Wrobell laughed and
refused to make a complaint. Arthur
was taken heme. He may not be able
,to ride a horse for several days.
HIKE TO DESERT TO
PRAY FOR WICKED
Bchlatter and Dowie, Near Star-,
vation, Disgusted With
“Godless’' City.
Denver, Col.,June 18.—"Pope” Bchlat-i
ter-Schrader, of the Divine Catholic)
church. Crown Prince Francis of thel
kingdom of the Freeland islands, and;
,Ktng Dowle, ruler of a fanciful, won-i
'derful lsls In the South seas, are on;
the desert seme miles east of Denver,
praying for these whom they charac
terize as the godless residents of this
City.
At any rate, that is what they told
the landlady at 1758 Lawrence st,
when they packed their few belongings
yesterday and left.
"Denver is the wickedest city In that
country," “Pope” Schrader declared to!
the landlady. "I and my traveling!
companion. King Dowle, are. going Into!
!the desert and pray for the wicked
jslnners."
Even though the two self-styled
apostles of God did go Into the desert
they did not go far from Denver, for
the landlady where they roomed Is au
thority for the statement after they
(paid their rent there were but few
shekels In their treasury.
"Pope” Schrader’s disgust with Den
ver and the wickedness of the city Is
formed, according to the landlady,
^through a failure on the part of the
people to respond to the two messen
gers of the gospel. When they first
icame here In the middle of last week
and opened headquarters at 1758 Law
rence st they were under the Impres
sion that within a few weeks they could
(found a church. Instead of that thero
were few people attracted.
