The car was stopped one mile west of Portage, but In tho short space of three miles thlr* teen persons were killed. The car crashed Into a number of cars standing on tbo track and was wrecked.

A little thlnu Ilk. lowering cloud, and occasional shower, did not dampen tho ardor of the hardy Long Islanders, who were determined, rain or shine, to carry out their program, and do honor to tho day nnd the president. Mr. Roosevelt was among the early arrivals at th» grove In which tho cor.- inonles were to toko place. He was accompanied by Secretary Loob. Promptly on time tho ccre.monlc« began with a chorus of school children under the direction of Rev. Warren A. Bos nian. They sang the “Star Spangled Banner" with fervor, nnd wore re warded with hearty applause, which wns led by the president. Mr. Roosevelt was well guarded. There was beside the eecret servlco guard a platoon of uniformed police men, who come over from Nassau, and at least inn special deputy sheriffs mi duty, so that there was no probability of harm coming to tho distinguished guest. - The master of ceremonies wns form er Sheriff Jerome Johnson, who Intro duced Grand Bookman ns the man upon whom liiul beer, conferred th- honor of Introducing Mr. Roosevelt. The president spoke extemporaneous ly nnd was in his happiest vein. Ho delivered a typical Fourth of July speech, In which ho demonstrated tho truth of the famous saying of Uncle Joe Cannon, that "This country Is s h—I of II siicr-ess.” He spoke of tho duties of citizenship and tho virtues necessary to keep tho United States In tho high place among the family of nations sho now holds.
