MAGNIFICENT OVATIONJO_PRESIDENI ROOSEVELT
Who Arrived Yesterday at the Tennessee Metropolis to Attend the “Lakes
to the Gulf” Convention City Alive With Enthusiasm
at his Coming
•
MEMPHIS, TENN., October 4.
I (Special.)—One hundred thousand
citizens of Memphis and vicinity to
day welcomed President Roosevelt to
the Deep Waterways Convention. The
enthusiasm of the greeting was wor
thy of the great South and the Presi
dent of the republic. President Roose
velt' was profoundly impressed with
the magnitude of the demonstration.
He said as much in words and more
in actions, for he made no effort to
conceal his pleasure. t From the time
the steamboat Mississippi bearing the
distinguished guest came into sight
of the city until the President had
concluded his address before wa
terways convention he received a
continual ovation. His route to and
from the Auditorium was through an
ocean of human faces and the vast
throng stretched out in the side
streets as far as the eye could see.
The landing was at the end of Union
avenue, from which point the proces
sion made its way through Jefferson
avenue, Main street, Beale avenue
and other leading throughfares to the
Auditorium.
Crowds Line llic Streets.
All idea of confining the delighted
people to the curbstones was aban
doned before the Presidential party
landed and as it proceeded through
the streets in vehicles the acclaiming
multitude touched the very wheels of
the carriages and good-naturedly el
bowed for room in which to raise
and wave flags and other emblems of
a national nature. The picturesque
ness of the scene was enhanced by
the thousands of flags, banners, and
other decorative designs which lined
the route of travel.
Arriving at the Auditorium the Pres
ident found awaiting him there an
assemblage the like of which has
seldom been seen before in this part
of the country.
In every sense of the word the ga
thering was truly representative of
all of those States that are directly
or indirectly interested in the pro
ject of a deep waterway from the
great lakes to ihe Gulf of Mexico,
i Included among those present were
| the governors of a score of common
wealths, almost a sufficient number
of members of Congress to constitute
j a quorum, and hundreds of bankers,
manufacturers, transportation offi
cials and other representatives of
the business interests of the middle
West and South. ,
The great Auditorium, spacious
though it is, was taxed to accommo
date the crowd that sought admit
tance.
Praise of the Valley.
In his speech before the convention
President Roosevelt dwelt at length
upon the inestimable value of the
Mississippi river as an artery of com
merce, surpassing that of any hemi
sphere. The wealth of Europe, he
said, cannot compare with that of the
valley through which courses the
“Father of Waters,” and he expressed j
GRADE AND CURBING OF
BRANNON IS ORDERED
Street Will Be Improved
at Once.
WILL ENHANCE ALL LAND VALUES
And Greatly Improve the Appearance
of that Kesldence Street- The
Work is to Be Done Im
mediately.
At last Brannorf avenue is to be
| graded and granite curbed. The city
council has ordered the improvement
made and the work of grading that
! thickly populated residence thorougli
i fare is to be started at once. For
a long while Brannon avenue has
presented a decidedly neglected ap
| pearance in comparison with other
| streets, graded, granite-curbed ar.d
witli pavements laid in tiling, but .at
last the march of improvement has
been extended there and Brannon
will be beautified to a great extent.
Many pretty homes fill this street and
property-owners will, no doubt, be
glad of the work to be done there.
the hope that it would ever remain
an agricultural region, adding to the
wealth of the Nation.
The Nation, the President, declar
ed, should be behind this movement
of development and making possible
the “gulf to the lakes” proposition.
The Convention In Session.
Though the address of President
Roosevelt was naturally the big fea
ture of the day, mucu important
business was accomplished by the
convention before tlie President's ar
rival. The gathering was called to
Giver shortly aft-m 10 o’clock this
morning for its first session. Presi
dent W. K. Kavanaugh of the Lakes
to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway associa
tion read the official ca'l and made a
few remarks. Permanent o”ganiza
tion was then effected and the neces
sary committees on credentials and
!• solutions appointed.
Ahree set addr.Mses were delivered
li’iring the forenoon, as follows: “The
Necessity of United Action by the
Friends of River Improvement,” Hon.
Joseph E. Ransdell, president of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress; “The Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway,” Lyman E. Cooley, engi
neer of the Chicago drainage canal;
“The Ohio and Mississippi Rivers ns
Transportation Factors,” Hon. John
L. Vance, president of the Ohio Val
ley Improvement association.
In addition to the address of Presi
dent Roosevelt and the greeting by
Governor Patterson of Tennessee the
programme for the afternoon session
included addresses by Governor Jos
eph W. Folk of Missouri and Hon-
Theodore E. Burton, chairman of the !
Inland Waterways Commission and j
probably the best informed man in j
America in the subject of inland wa- J
terways.
Tonight Governor Deneen of 111!- |
nois and Governor Cummins of lowa ]
are to be heard.
*
Twenty-Five Governors There.
The roll call showed the atten
dance of the governors of twenty-five
States and it is possible that seevral
more will put in an appearance be
fore the close of the convention.
It is expected that all of these will
be called upon to address the ses
sions. Among the number, in addi
tion to those already mentioned, are
Governor Joe I. Crawford of South
Dakota, Henry A. Buchtel of Colora
do, Newton C. Blancnard of Louisiana,
Edward W. Hoch of Kansas, Bryant
B. Brooks of Wyoming, George E.
Chamberlain of Oregon, X. 0. Pindall,

Dakota and Napoleon B. Broward of

Several prominent members of

heard, and the other speakers will
include prominent representatives of
business men’s organizations and
river improvement associations in all
parts of the Mississippi valley.
