Whele Day \Was Taken Up in Various
Excrcises and People of Windy
| City Vie in Extending a
CGlad Welcome,
President Rocsevelt's sixty-six days’
tour of the west began in earnest at
Chicago Thur:zlay morning, when he
stepped from the Peoanszylvania special
at 8:45 o’clock and was rcceieved by
Mayor Harriscn and a special recep
tion comimittee, not to menticn a nuge
crowd which made its unofiicial pres
ence known by cheers which could be
heard across the river,
As soon as the cars could be swiich
ed the presidential party started lor |
Evanston, where the president ad
dressed the students of the Northwest
ern university on the valuc of a college |
education. The party returned to the |
Auditorium for luncheon. After lunch !
eon the presidential party went to the l
University of Chicago in carriages. At |
the quadrangle approach to the univer- '
sity grounds the presidential party
was met by the faculty and trustees, '
in cap and gown, and led by Presideat '
Harper. |
The president was escorted to Kent
theatre, where President Harper con
ferred the degree of LL.D. Dr. Har
per handed the president a dipioma
and directed that the “doctors hood’
be placed upon his shoulders. The
president spoke no word, but bowed iu
acknowledgment of the honor confe;-
red. As the procession emerged from
the theatre the university band played
national airs and deafening college
vells greeted the president.
At the head of a convocation pro
cession, in which the young women of
the college participated, the president
made his way to the site of the new
law school building, where prepara
tions had been made for him to lay
the corner stone.
. An immense stone, weighing 7 tons,
was ready to be lowered in place.
President Roosevelt, trowel in hand,
gave the signal, and as the huge mas3s
settled upon its foundation he cast a
small quantity of mortar beneath it.
The presidential party then returned
to the city.
Speaks cn Monroe Doctrine.
Six thousand pecple in a hall, the
seating capacity of which is only 5.000.
gave enthusiastic greeting to President
Roosevelt when ne stepped upen the
stage of the auditorium Thursday
night to deliver a speech onthe Monro 2
doctrine. Many of those present stooil
without the dcors and were unable to
hear the president’s speech on account
of the tumulit,
The address throughout was receiv
ed in the most cordial manner.
At the close of hiz speech the presi-
dent said:
‘““There is a hemely old adage which
runs, ‘Speak softly and carry a big
stick; you will go far.’ If the Ameri
can nation will speak softl and yet
build and keep at a pitch of the high
est training a thoroughly efficient
navy, the Monroe doctrine will go far.
“Well, in the last two years I am
happy to say that we have taken long
strides in advance as regards our navy.
The last congress, in addition to small
er vessels, provided nine of those for
midable fighting ships upen which the
real efficiency of any navy in war ulti
mately depends. Meanwhile the navy
department has seen to it that our
ships have bcen constantly exercised
at sea, with great guns, and in maneu
vers, so that their efficiency as fighting
units, both individually and when act
ing together, has been steadily im
proved. .
“It is too late to prepare for war
when swar has come:; and if we only
preparc sufiicient!ly nc war will ever
come. We wish a powerful and effi
eient navy not for purposes of war,
but as the surest guaranty of peace,
It we have such a navy—if we keep on
building it up—-we may rest assured
that there is but the smallest chance
that trouble will ever come to this na
tion; and we may likewise rest assur
ed that nos foreign power will ever
gyuarrcl with us about the Monroce doce.
trine.”
At -the eonclusicn of the Zddress
there was rencwed and continued ap.
plause, and while the greater part of
the audience was leaving the hall the
president was holding an impromptu
reception cn the platferm, as all the
members of the committee who hadi
been seated with him on the platform
and many from the audience pressed
around to offer congratulations on the
address. Scant time was allcwed for
this, however, and the secret service
men closed out about the president
during the short handshaking and
quickly escorted him back to his apart
ments in the hotel.

UNION MEN ENJOINED.
,Judge Lumpkin, at Atlanta, Issues Re
straining Order Affecting Job
; Printers Who are on Strike.
! At Atlanta, Thursday night at 8
§o’clock, Foote & Davies, printers, se
; cured an injunction against the unions
icngaged in the strike now on in the
%job printing cffices of the city.
i Judge Lumpkin, of the Fulten coun
{ ty superior court, read a petition on
ibehalf of Foote & Davies, and signed
a temporary restraining order directed
‘Lo the Atlanta Typographical Unioo
| and the Electrotypers and Sterotypers’
| Unicn,
\ The order commands these organiza
| tions to desist from seeking to force
,!(,-x' compel the employees of the Foote
| & Davies Ccmpany from quitting
;' worlk; decist trem using force, threats,
| abuse or cocrcion fer this purpose;
;Jc:ai:sl from driving off the customers
or of persons desiring to have printing
or other like werk done by the Foote
& Davies Company, and desist Irom
using threats or menaces of ruin or in- |
jury of such persons or their Lusiness
cr property for this purpose.
In the petition filed by the Foote &
Davies Cempany a number of charges
are made against the union. It is al
leged that each of the unions conceru
ed have entered into a combination in
restraint of trade. It is alieged that
they have conspired to rumn the busi
ness of Foote & Davies.
The fight which occurred near the
Foote & Davies place of business sev-l
cral days ago is also mentioned in th 2
petition and.it is charged that this was
the result of a conspiracy.
Another charge made in the peti
tion is that unlawful means have becn
employed to keep men from goning to
work at the Foote & Davies office,
among the means adopted, it is alleg
ed, being bribery.
Judge Lumpkin set the preliminary
hearing for Aprilrll at 9 o’clock in th 2
morning.
MRS. GRIFFIN IS HELD.
Woman and Her Brother Bound Over
at Eatonton Charged With Murder.
At the preliminary trial at Eaton
ton, Ga., of Mrs. John Griffin and her
brother, Sam Knowles, under suspi:
cion as murderers of John Griffin, tha
woman’s husband both the prisoners
were remanded to jail Thursday to
await trial at the September term of
the superior court.
Mrs, Grifiin had her nine-monthsoll
baby in her arms when tle verdict was
read, and she burst into bitter weep
ing.
The evidence against them, while
very strong apparently, is only circum
stantial. Judge W. F. Jenkins, in their
defense, spoke seven hours and made
a very able argument. Judge W. B.
Wingfield ciosed for the prosecution in
an argument equal to that of his oppo
nent,
Bail will be asked, and it is possible
that Judge Lewis will allow it, as the
evidence iz only circumstantial.
It is repcried thot new evidence has
been secured by the prosecution. Jus!
before his death Griffin told a friend
that if things did not change around
his house that he would make another
Wilcoxen case. He referred to a case
that occurred in the county two years
ago, in whieh the destroyer of his
home was killed by Wiicoxen.
RACE TROUBLE IN SHOPS.
Negroces Empleyed by Ccast Line Quit
Because One of Them Was Mobbed.
Because a negro cursed one of the
werkmen in the Atlantic Coast Line
shops at Wilmington, N. C., Thursday,
over two hundred fellow workmen al
most mobbed him at the noon hour
when all the men knocked off for din
ner. The negro, whosé name is San
ders, was badly beaten, but no Vvery
serious injury resulted. .
Sanders, with 500 cther negroes, is
employed about the shops to do heavy
work. As a result of the trouble the
entire force of negroes walked out and
refused to work the remainder of the
day. Just what the outcome will be is
not kncwn, but the Coast Line man
agement started an investigation at
once and will probe the matter to the
bottom. It is rumored that trouble
between the two races has been brew:
ing for some time.

| “DON'T TOUCH TARIFF.”
So Declares Rcosevelt in Speech at
Minneapolis—Cuban Treaty
Given a Roast,
Silonst
President Roosevelt was enthuasti
cally welcomed in the Twin Cities—
St. Paul and Minneapolis. From the
‘time he arrived at St. Paul in the
‘morning until his deparcure from Min
neapolis near midnight for the west,
the president was the recipient of a
continual ovation, the streets through
which he passed in both cities being a
mass of people, while armory hall was
crowded.
The speech at the armory on the
tariff and reciprocity was v 21l receiv
ed, The president touched on the Cl
- situaticn, declaring that we mus!
have military control of southern wa
ters and saying that the TUnited
States was the most prosperous na
tion known to history. Every pause
in the delivery of the address was re
plete with approving cheers. He spcke
in part as follows:
“At the special session of the scn
ate, held in March, the Cuban recip
rocity treaty was ratified. When this
treaty goes into effect, it will confer
substantial economic benefits alike
upon the Cuba, because of the widen
ing of her market in the United
States, and upon the United States
because eof the equal widening
and the progressive control it will
give to our people in the Cuban mar
ket.
“The treaty was not merely warran
ted but demanded, apart from all oti
er considerations, by the enlightened
consideration of our foreign Dpolicy.
More and more in the future we must
occupy a preponderant position in the
waters and along the coasts in the re
gion south of us; not a position of
control over the republics of the souts,
but of control of the military situa
tion so as to avoid any possible com
plications in the iuture.
The republic of Cuba has assumed a
special relation to our international
political system, under which she
gives us outposts of defense, and we
are morally oound to extend to her in
a degree the benefit of our own cco:
nomic system.
“Equally important was the action
on the tariff upen products of the Phir
ippines. We gave them a reduction of
25 per cent, and would have given
them a reduction of 25 per cent more
had it not heen for the opposition, in
the hurried closing days of the last
session, of certain gentlemen, who, by
the way, have been representing
themselves both as peculiarly solicit
ous for the interests of the Philippine
people and as special champions ol
the lowering of tariff duties.
“We are now in a condition of pros
perity unparalleled not merely in our
own history, but in the history of anv
other nation.
“The present phenémenal prosper
ity has been won under a tariff which
was made in accordance with certain
fixed and definite principles, the most
important of which is an avowed de
termination to protect the interests of
the American producers, business
man, wage-worker, aud farmer alike.
The general tariff policy, to which,
without regard to changes in detail, !
believe this country is frrevoc-nb!y
committed, is fundamentally based
upon ample recognition of the ditfer
ence between the cost of production—
that is, the cost of labor—here and
abroad, and of the need to see to ii
that our laws shall in no event afford
advantage in cur own market to for
eign indusiries over American capitai,
to foreign labor oyer our own labor.”
NO CENSURE FOR DEWEY.
His Remarks Anent Geriman Navy are
Igniored for Diplomatic Reasons.
A special from Berlin, Germany,
says: The reason why Admiral Dew:
ey’s remarks were pocketed with lit
tle official ado can be read between
the lines of the government organs.
It was intimated frcm Washington
that in case Dewey’'s punishment ‘was
demanded the United States govern
ment might be moved to ask an ex
planation of the German Admiral
Pluddemann’s remarks to the effec:
that Dewey’s feat, “so called,” at Ma
nila might have been undertaken by
any junior officer, there being neithe:
courage nor strategy in it, but proba
bly an understanding with the 'énem).
Pluddemann never fired a shot ia
his life, but is neverthe’'2ss thought a
great deal of by that* cother theoreticai
strategist, the kaiser. If Washington
would insist npon an explanaticn, his
beer-going admiralship would get into
trouble with both Dewey and the for
mey commander of Manila, and the lat
ter might insist upon blowing some
holes through him by way of a duel
In court circles it is reported that
‘he kaiser himself was moved to make
light of the matter in order not to hurt
Precsident Roosevelt’'s chances for a
second term.
“If Dewey were martyred he might
become a sericus opponéent to Roose
velt,” opined his majesty.

Hallman Sims, Trusted Bank
Employe, Goes Wrong,
Began to Steal When First Connected
With the Institution, Eight Years
Ago, and Kept it Up Until
His Detection,
Hallman Sims, in charge of the col
lections of the Capital City bank, at
Atlanta, was placed under arrest Fri
day night charged with a shortage of
about $94,009 of the bank’s money, and
will be prosecuted by the government.
Sims has admitted his guilt and
states that his peculations have ex
tended over a period of eight years—
practically from the first year of his
connection with the bank.
He is well known in the Atlanta
younger social set, visiting at some of
the most prominent homes in the city
and attending the theatre, usually in 9
box, awith many of Atlanta’s most pop
ular young wcmen. Sims is a son of
Thomeas L. Sims, of Kirkwood, Ga., but
cceupied rooms at 103 1-2 Pryor street.
The shortage was detected Friday
hy G. R. DeSaussure, United States
bank examiner, and wken he had fully
verified his investigations, the young
man was called into conference with
the bank officials, who were aumb
founded at the charge made by the ex
aminer.
Shortly before midnight it was de
cided that Sims should be held, and a
Deputy United States marshal was
called in to place him under arrest.
Of tne amount embezzled by Sims,
the bank has already in sight some
thing over $25,000, onefifth of which
is the surety company bond of $5,000
given by the young man when he tool:
up his duties as collector. The re
mzainder will ccme from the farm and
cottle owned by him in middle Geor
gia, assets which, it is betieved, were
acquired from a portion of the money
secured from the bank,
When he had found sufficient to war
rant a positive statement that young
Sims was short with the bank, Mr.
De Saussure notified President Speer
and Cashier Kontz.
Sims was at once called in, and
while e seemed to divine what to ex
pect, was not even slightly .nervous;
in fact, if there were any traces of
cmotien they can be credited to the
president of the bank, the cashier and
the bank ezaminer.
The young man was called on to ex
plain the changes that had been founli
in Lis books. For a. moment he was
silent; and then replied coolly and
without a trace of feeling: ;
“Well, T guess you've got me.”
Questioned by the officials as to the
length of time over which his short
age had cxtended, he replied:
“About eight years.”
That is the length of the young
man’s service with the bank. He took
charge of the collection when only 18
years old, and he is now just 26.
“What amount have you taken from
the bank?’ was the next question.
Neither of the three ofiicials expectel
s reply, and none were prepared for
the answer when it came.
“Abhout $94,000,” said Sims, without
hesitating ah instant.
The farm mentioned in connection
with Sims was purchased by him
about three years ago. It was known
at the ,bank and at the time it was
thouzht that an uncle, who is well
to-do, was back of him. The value of
the farm, which is located in Green? 2
county, is estimated at $25,000, and
nearly all was paid in cash or short
time notes. In th® meantime the farm
was fully stocked with cows, horses.
hogs and farming implements and 4
manager employed by Sims.
The fact that he talked frequently
of his farm—nhis manager visiting him
in Atlanta upon one or two occasions
—and mentiocned his income trom that
source put him wrell above suspicion.
‘While the amount would have been
a large ops for a bank to lose ten or
fifteen vears ago, the sums taken by
Sims. the defalcation extending as it
'has over a period of years, will not
affect the bank in the slightest.

CAMBRIDGE CREW VICTORIOUS.
Ouford Loses Inter.-University Boat

jubilee of the contest, was won easily
by Cambridge by six lengths in 49
minutes 32 1-2 seconds. Excepting tae
fact that rain was falling, the weather’
conditions were favorable,
YET ANOTHER CREVASSE,
This Break Occurs on Louisiana Side
and a Wide Area of Fine Cotton
Lands are Overflowed.
A New Orleans special says: The
most serious development of the flood
sitidtion ¥¥iddy was the break in the
levee at Holly Brook plantation, own
ed by James G. Pittman. The cre
vasse is about 6 miles below Lake
Providence in East @arroll parish.
The levee was probably 18 feet iw
height and no attempt will be made ty
amend it. Efforts, however, will be
made to hold the ends.
Much available cotton land will be
overflowed.” Owing to protracted rains
little planting has been done and the
lamage will be principally in delay in
zetting seed inte the ground. Tha
crevasse is reported to be 500 feet
wide. Parts of Tensas, Madison, Con
ordia, Catahoula and Ricnland par
ishes, in addition to east Carfoll, wiil
he submerged, the water ultimately re
turning to the Mississippi river
through the Red river. Dispatches
from the vieinity of the break say with
the favorable exigsting river conditionus
the water will not long run through
the crevasse and the damage will b 2
considerably less than that done by
the Wyly-Bass crevasse in the same
vicinity in 1893.
Work of strengthening the erib work
»t Hymelia continued throughout the
lay. No signs of weakness in the
structure have yet appeared. It is an
icipated that sacking will begin to
norrow and that the break will be
mended early next week.
