MR, ROOSEVELT MAKESA SPEECH Addresses Oyster Bay Folk on Glory of Country. By Private Leased Wire. Oyster Bay, July 4.—This waa Oyster Bay's Fourth of Jiily. A little thing like lowering clouds and occasional showers did not domran tho ardor of tho hardy Long Islanders, who wero determined, rain or shine, to carry out their program, and do honor to tho day and the presldc\\ .Mr. Roo.Nfv’eli was among- the early arrivals at the Kmvo In which tin* cere monies wero to take place. Ho was accompanied by Secretary Loeb. Promptly on tlmo tho coremonies began with a chorus of school children under tin* direction of Itev. Warren A. Bos nian. They sang tho "Star Spangled H.inner” with fervor, and wore re warded with hearty applause, which was lod by tho president. Mr, Jloosevelt was well guarded. There was beside tho secret service guard a platoon of uniformed police men, who came over from Nassau, and at least 100 special deputy sheriffs on duty, so that there was no probability of harm coming to the distinguished guest. The master of ceremonies was form er Sheriff Jerome Johnson, who Intro duced Grand Beekman as the man upon whom had b**.*n .confenvd tin* honor of introducing Mr. Roosevelt. The presliii'Mt spoke extemporaneous ly nnd was In his Impplent vein. He delivered a typical Fourth of July speech, In which he demonstrated the truth of the famous saying of Uncle Joo Cannon, that "This country Is a h—1 of a success." Ho spoke of the duties of citizenship and the virtues necessary to keep the United States in tho high place among the family of nations site now holds. RUSSIA FACES GREAT CRISIS HalfWay Concessions Are No Longer Possible. By Private Letted Wire. St. Petersburg, July 4.—Russia today Is on tho eve of a decisive crisis, A straw may turn the scales toward con- cession t>r reaction. Is clearly realised at Peterhof that half-way concessions are no lon ger possible nnd that It in equally Im possible to maintain tho present situ# tton. Either the douma may have Ita own ministry or be disparted. A constitu tional government or a coup d’etat are tho only alternatives now contem plated. Perhaps the rumors that 35 per cent of the army cannot be trusted nnd that the officers of the guard threaten to resign en masse may be the reason for tho recent crisis, Tho seul and papers of an organ ized military league which ’ m tr.•*t mutinies In the army wero found dur ing tho search of soldiers attached to staff headquarter* at Vllna and de- tallod t<* reglmenta "f thr I’nid . *>i| So mutinous are the troops In Od< . that martial law was proclaimed there today.

The county will come to the aid of Atlanta with n proposition which may aolve the Peachtrco paving problem, to which there has seemed to be no so lution without a lung tvnlt of probably a year. * At a lengthy and Important meeting of the county commissioner*, held Wednesday morning, It wag decided to make a proposition to the city that If the city would furnish the money for the actual cost of material tho county would resurface Peachtree street from Ellis to Sixth street, and pave this Important horoughfare from Sixth to Fourteen streets, with bt- tullthlc. Figures were given showing that this pavement, which by all those present was considered excellent, can be laid for lese than 61 a yard, or a saving of some 11,000, to the city and the same to the property owners, mak ing a saving of 614,000 In all, over asphalt.

It was then unanimously decided to make the above net forth proposi tion to the city, which, it la believed, will be a aoluUon to the problem of paving Peachtree street. Colonel Anderion Criticizes Council. A long and at one Juncture rather ardent discussion was brought up at the meeting whon a committee of citi zens, composed of Malvern Hill, W. R. Shropshire, S. W. Wilkes and R. M, Gann, brought beforo the commission ers the matter of placing, pavement street from Gordon street to the city limits. Mr. Hill Htqtcd that the road was In a poor condition, nnd that chert soemed Inadequate for tho heavy traffic which passed over this much-used thoroughfare. He asked that the county lay another paving, placing brick between the car tracks and several feet on the sides. Colonel Clifford Anderson next took the lloor and said: **1 wish to say something nt this time, as there are a number of the city councilmen present. The county is willing to do Its part, but It Is getting tired of fixing streets when the city never takes care of them after thoy are laid. S »rn»- yo-ars ago. Just for Instance, the county paved Peachtree street from Sixth to Four teenth streets. Since then the city has done absolutely ncthlng to keep up the paving. The county doesn't see fit to fix streets and roads If the city council will do nothing to keep them up." Councilmen E. W. Martin, a A. Wiki© and Alderman J. N. McEachcm, appointed by council to look Into the matter of paving Lee street, were then heard. Councilman Martin declared that the city had heavy expenses and that at this time the street funds were exhausted, but that something should be done on the street under discussion. It was decided to pave this street with bltullthlc in the early spring If tho city would pave between the car tracks and at the sides. Wants a Square Deal. The owner of Heard'e park appeared before the board. Ho said that the perk was discriminated against. In that other parks around, the city, such as Ponce DeLeon, were Allowed to sell soft drinks on Sunday, when he was not. He stated that this was against the state code, and all he wanted was a "fair and square deaL” This phrase was the key-note of a rather long speech which was brought to a close by the presentation of a petition signed by some two hundred people living In the neighborhood. It was stated that negroes not two blocks from the park were allowed to sell soft drinks and that all other porks were allowed the same privilege, but that Heard's park as not The commission decided to notify the chief of county police not to show any discrimination. Other Matters. It WAX decided to allow W. W. Ever ett, attorney for the Marietta Fertilizer Works, to condemn right-of-way to build a road from the factory through the Eisworth property to the county The street in front of the English Avenue church will be Inspected and such repairs as are needed made.
