Va., June 10.—The Jamestown Exposition management has determin ed to look upon today, the occasion of President Roosevelt’s second visit, as the real opening.

Three Persons Perished and Many Guests Narrowly Escaped Cart Boeschen Hero of the Hour NORFOLK, Va., June 10.—The fa mous Princess Anne Hotel at Virginia Beach, Va., built 25 years ago, and one of the handsomest summer resort ho tels along the middle Atlantic seaboard was destroyed by a fire which had its origin early today in the kitchens, sup posedly from a defective flue. In two hours, the entire hotel building, togeth er with the Norfolk and Southern de pot, the iBowling alley hotel laundry, engine house, the office of the Virginia Beach Developmnt Company and all the board walk in front of the hotel had been wiped away. There were 110 persons, guests and employes in the hotel. All are thought to have escaped with the exception of Emma Clark, a negro chambermaid, John Eaton, steward, and an unknown special guest of Manager Mitchell. That a score or more of persons were not lost is attributed to the great he- DEFENSE SAY CONSPIRACY WAS AGAINST THE MINERS , ‘ roism of Carl Boeschen, a young ser- Roosevelt’s Strenuous Day. The President spoke in the Georgia ceremonies from the reviewing stand, and during the afternoon addressed the convention of the National Edito rial Association in the exposition audi torium. On both occasions he was given an enthusiastic welcome. He visited th» Georgia building, the New YnTk building and .the negro exhibit, and In Mil drlve.s over the grounds thousands of people lined the streets nnd gave him a continuous ovation. The schedule arranged in advance was followed to the letter, nnd when the Mayflower weighed anchor at. 5 o’clock, nnd the party started' on its return trip to Washington, an unusually strenuous day was closed without an Incident of note having occurred. The pqllee arrangements for the handling of fhe great crowd were so excellent ns to call forth favorable comment on every side.

Immediately■ upon the arrival of thnt vessel, the party of Secretary i*f Navy Metcalf wns trans ferred from the Dolphin. The others to join thb President were Gov. Joseph M. Terrell, of Georgia and W. X. Mitchell, of the Georgia State com mission. Pnsslng over the same course ns when he visited the exposition on the opening day. the President review ed the fleets of seven nations, six in addition to the United States. The sen fighters were in gala attire, the flags of the different countries repre sented making a striking picture. As the Mavflower stenmeri down the long column of vessels, each In turn greet ed the President, who occupied the bridge of his trim yacht, with a salute of twenty-one guns. The foreign vessels had the positions of honor In a line nearest and jjarallel to the exposition grounds and were reached first by the Mayflower, so that their guns were the first to be heard in sounding their salutation. Either black or dark drab, the vessels of Austria- Hungary. Brazil. France. Italy. the Netherlands and of Portugal, appeared In «harp contrast to the Atlantic fleet of 33 vessels under the command of Rear Admiral Evans, these ships being Crossed In the usual white hull and buff for the superstructure. The five torpedo boat destroyers were in dark i reen and this caused many persons’to believe thev belonged to the foreign representation. The Mayflower ap proached the three columns of float ing fortresses from the east nnd the Connecticut. Rear Admiral Evans’ flag- slop fired the first gun of the Presi dential salute.

Nearly 2000 Shots. \s the Mayflower pointed her .way Along the line of foreign vessels, a new series of salutes wero begun, and repeated by each vessel in the roads, making in all 1.9S6 cannon shots in the two Presidential salutes.

I have traveled from the Atlantic, to the Pacific, from the great Lakes to the Gulf. I have spoken at country fairs, to colleges, to commer cial and business organizations, to associations of professional men. to labor organizations, to men of every creed and parentage. The thing that has struck me most has been the es sential oneness, the essential Unity of our people. ■Tn the fundamentals I have found ly fell exhausted and had to be borne from the burning building. The loss on the building is $185,000 with only $S3.000 insurance. Manager A. C. Mitchell, of Asheville, N. C., had no Insurance. The hotel safe In which were the heavy receipts of yesterday and thousands of dollars worth of val uables placed therein by the guests vesterday for safe keeping, was not locked and its entire contents were- lost when the building collapsed. A large number of prominent people from dif ferent parts of the country took refuge in cottages nearby. But for the work of a bucket brigade, made up principally of women cot tagers. led by Mrs. Tucker, daughter of the Episcopal bishop coadjutor of Southern Virginia, the entire, ocean front line of the cottages north of the hotel would have been wiped .out. The women worked with the white men like Trojans, while negro men stood by and offered no assistance. Among those who had narrow escapes and had to get out in their night clothes were Mrs. R. E. Seal, the aged sister of Governor Wilson, of West Virginia: Mrs. H. D. Flournoy, wife of former Congressman Flour noy, of West Virginia; Mrs. Carlisle, of Chattanooga, and Mrs. Mars, Cleveland, Ohio, ,all of whom were heavy losers in both money and jewel: The Princess Anne Hotel, up to few months ago, had beem run by the recent purchasers, the Princess Anne Investment Corporation, composed of leading Norfolk people. Manager Mitchell then took the hotel under five-year lease, putting up $10,000 in cash, all of which he loses. Manager Mitchell, frantic as a result of the fire, and his great loss, sought today to end his life by jumping into the ocean, but was restrained by friends. Manager Mitchell’s sister from Asheville, N. C.. was among last night’s arrivals. She lost everything and barely escape with her life.

There must be agricultural and industrial colleges, and, above all, schools in which there can be element ary preparation for agriculture and in dustry. These schools for technical training will hold a great place in the future in fitting our citizen for doing their economic duties in the best pos sible shape. In the South there is a population peculiarly fitted to profit by them, a population which has been erecting as the Georgia j generally referred ’to as “poor white,” a population of splendid capacities, and almost purely of the old native stock, which simply lack the opportunity to develop a degree of industrial efficiency unsurpassed elsewhere on this conti nent Reviewed Military Parade.

D. Haywood, repeatedly threw the sug gestion of a great conspiracy formu lated and carried out by the enemies of the Western Federation of Miners, and indicated a determination to con struct their main line of defense on that basis. They carried Orchard by slow steps through the minutest de tails of the dynamiting of the Inde pendence, Colorado, stativi. down to the attempt on the life of Bradley anH his family in San Francisco. In addi tion to a series of particular attacks of the credibility of the witness and the general probability of his stories and preparing the way for their own testimony in rebuttal, the defense sought to show that Orchard had~a mania for boasting of the commission of crimes, non-existent, except in his own mind, and that he is testifying un der the control and suggestion of De tective McPartland. Defense’s Plans. The defense began today by making it clear that as far as Orchard knew, Haywood. Moyer, and Rettibone had nothing to do with the inspiration, planning and execution of the Vindica tor explosion, and that Haywood and Moyer had nothing to do with the planning of the murder of Detective Gregory. Passing on to the dynamiting of the Independence station, the first crime with which the testimony of Orchard directly connects Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone, the defense endeavored to show that Orchard in springing the mine had purposely sought the on coming train and the non-union men who were expected on that train and that the plot was engineered by agents of mine p.wners and railway managers, who wanted a comparatively harmless ’outrage” to injure the union miners ho were on strike. Leaving the Independence station crime, which was followed by the flight of Orchard into Wyoming, and then lifs unexpected return to Denver, the de fense sought to discredit the story that Haywood directed or conspired to kill Andy Mayberry by showing that Hay wood and 'Mayberry were old and inti mate friends. Bradley Crime. Getting, down to the Bradley crime, the defense devoted itself largely to the story of Orchard’s attempt to poison Bradley, endangering the entire Bradley household. Orchard swore that while in San Francisco he repeatedly received money from Pettibone, who used the name of "Pat Bone” in trans mitting it. In making this clearer, the defense gave evidence of a plan to how that this money was sent under Pettibone’s disguised name by persons plotting against the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners. Start ing for California, “to get BTradley.’’ Orchard said Pettibone bought his ticket for him and gave him $150 and a new grip sack. In San Francisco, Ito stayed two weeks in August, 1904. at the Golden West Hotel. From there he went to a boarding place in Tenth street. Bradley was in Alaska when Orchard reached San Francisco. While waiting for him. Orchard spent a part of his time at Calientes Spring. Or chard heard neither from Haywood nor Moyer while In California, but receiv ed several letters from Pettiborte. These he destroyed immediately after reading them. “Why didn’t you save them, so could have a hold on Pettibone in case he ever flew the track?” asked Rich ardson. “I wasn’t thinking about getting any thing on him. I didn't have any de- ' sire to." The first money received from Pet tibone in California was $100. which canie in a registered letter. Pettibono said in the letter that things were get ting warm in Colorado that Johnny Neville and the boy had been arrested, and the authorities were looking for Orchard. He said that Orchard had better “lay low.” Took Cook to Theater. The money was in $20 bills. Orch ard received some of the money in the name of Harry Green. Tho witness then repeated his story about putting strychnine in the Bradjey family's milk. Orchard had become acquainted with tho cook and had once taken her to the theater.

ARTICLES WENT UP ON WHICH RATES REDUCED Commissioner Brown Says Consumer Did Not Get Benefit Batsh of Current Gate City Hews ATLANTA, June 10.—Railroad Com missioner Joseph M. iBrown, in addi tion to 'his recent dissenting opinion, today filed with the commission a lenghty brief dealing with the passen ger and freight rate propositions as ■they have presented themselves to the hoard since he has been a member of 'it. more than a dividend to manufacturers and jobers. Tho passenger rate on the other hand affects the whole people, and a reduo- ; tion therein benefits practically every, individual because at one time or' an other all travel.

Reporters Put It On Headlines. ATLANTA, June 10.—Atlanta's Bap» tist ministers had a hot discussion In their regular weekly meeting today as to whether they should exclude report ers for the daily papers. The discus sion grew out of some recent reports of their actfon relating to the doctrine of "total depravity,” which they declared Commissioner Brown takes the posi- I were misleading and false, hence the tion that not a farmer or laborer or I question of excluding the reporters al- the flag of a common country, and keep in mind this thought: Whatever his nativ- itv. the man behind her guns, whether by birth, adoption or assignment, is Georgian, standing for a!! that is best and truest in Americanism—and as such Georgia will expect him to do his duty. In behalf of the historic name we honor this day. I ask that every man of the crew pledge his honor to duty, to Georgia and to the United States of America. The reception by the ladles of the Georgia commission in honor of Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt followed. Ad mission was by card to Georgians only, and. to army and navy officers in uni form. After this a luncheon was given in the building to the President and his party and Rear Admiral Evans. The New York State building was then visited quite informally. At 5 o’clock the President was es corted by a delegation from the Na tional Editorial Association to the main auditorium, where he delivered an address to toe association, followed by any other consumer In the State has got one cent of benefit from the more than $2,000,000 annual reduction that was secured on interstate freight to Georgia through the instrumentality of the commission in 1905. An interesting feature of his brief is some examples Illustrative of this point. The amount of reduction in the freight on hats, men’s clothing, blank ets, dry goods and the like from New York to Atlanta was $27 per carload of 30,000 pounds, yet not one of the Geor- ga’i farmers who filed the petition Tor lower passenger rates has been able to get one cent’s reduction on any of these articles. He gives other similar examples. The he shows that while the freight rate has decreased shoes from the East was reduced in February and May, 1905, the total reduction being $87 per car. Yet following that reduction the price of these shoes was advanced first 95 cents, and later $1.50 per pair. While the freight rate on men’s suit ings was reduced $27 per car, the price of the higher grades per carload was increased $11,957 per carload, or almost thirty-eight times as much as the en tire freight rate. Commissioner Brown gives many other similar examples, showing that while the freight rate has gone down, the price to the con sumer has steadily gone up. and that from the freight rate reduction no ad vantage to the consumer has been se cured. He asserts that he reduction in Sgisfit rates amounted to aothing together. One minister characterized a certain repor as a “pack of lies,” and was warned to be more parliamentary in his language. The ministers heard some of the reporters in their defense who put it off on the headline writer and the other fellow, and then referred the question to a committee for re port. a brief reception to the members. *This cor»clu>ded the "President's partidiaa- tion in the day’s program and with his party he was driven back to Dis covery Landing and conveyed to the Mayflower, which a short time later weighed anchor and started on the re turn journey to Washington.
