Jamestown Exposition, April 26.—By
the hand of the president, amid the ac
claim of the world's diplomats and be
fore the greatest naval display and
military pageant In history, the James
town Exposition was opened today.
The guns of all nations saluted the
Union and the flags of the world were
unfurled to the breeze, a gorgeous trib
ute of colors to the celebration of the
three hundredth anniversary of the
founding of the first permanent settle
ment of English-speaking people In this
hemisphere.
Navies of World. |
It was a notable fact, amid the boom
ing of the guns, the gigantic strength of
the warships the rythmic tramp of
soldiers' feet ,' and beneath the stars
and stripe*, the banner of the country
that was cradled In war, the dominant
note was one making for peace. Pri
marily a warlike display, the egposl
tlon opened rather as the means of dis
playing Implements of hostility which
everyone hoped would be In the future
more for show than for use.
When the sun rose, the people of the
surrounding country were Informed of
the birth of the eventful day by the fir
ing of a salute of 300 guns by the ar
tillery on the exposition grounds. When
the Mayflower, bearing the president
and his party, entered Hampton Roads,
the United States and foreign warships
flred their salutes.
And throughout the day there was
the atmosphere of exultation, the cons
gratulatlons of the world and the exul
tation of America, that this country,
300 years after Its Inception, celebrates
In such gorgeous and stupendous fash
ion the first settlement:
Holiday in Norfolk.
It Is holiday In Norfolk and the sur
rounding cities. From these places
thousands and thousands of people
Hocked to the exposition grounds,
thronging every street and path In the
vast territory surrounded by the flow
ered hedge. Every boat and vessel was
pressed Into service that the people
might see the naval display, nnd the
green depths of Hampton Roads were
topped by the gay colors of flags and
women’s costumes. Some say there are
330.000 people here today.
There was the supreme moment of
the ilay. it came when the president of
the United States, flanked and sur
rounded by the great offlclalii of this
country and the accredited representa
tives 0 f a || ,|, e other nations on earth,
saw the soldiers and seamen of the
countries of civilization march along
I-ee's parade past the reviewing stand,
•aiming the flag of the United States.
Roosevelt Touchee Button.
When the president touched the
golden button and the salutes were flred
and the bands struck up the "Stnr
Spangled Banner” pandemonium was
created. The-vast length and breadth
of the parade grountl was bordered
by thousands of witnesses, who gave
ready tribute to the greatness of the
exposition and the fame of the country
that gives it. •
The president and his party arrived
In the harbor at 8 o'clock. The Inspec
tlon or review of the warships wua be
gun. the Mayflower passing down the
entire line of the navies. The party
disembarked from the Mayflower, and,
followed by cheering thousands, pro
ceeded from the northwest coriier of
the grounds. Discovery Landing, to the

LIE IS THRUST
New York, April 26.—The Indignation
of labor men throughout the country
at the reiterated expressions of Pros!
dent Roosevelt condemning Moyer,
Haywood and Pettlbonc was greater
today even than Immediately after the
publication of the president's views. A
strong statement was made by the ex
ecutive committee of the New York
Moyer-Haywood protest conference.
"The reply of President Roosevelt,
declares this statement, "Is a direct In
sult to every man who has Interested
himself In the defense of Moyer and
Haywood. It Is an Insult and a wrong
which will never be forgotten by Intelli
gent men. There Is nothing extrava
gant In the prediction that It marks the
beginning, of the end of that misplaced
confident which has heretofore been
reposed In him by large numbers of
orklng men.
"The statement that Moyer and Hay
wood stand a* the representatives of
these men, who, by their public utter
ances and manifestos, by the utterances
of the papers they control and Inspire
and by the word* and deeds of those
associated with, or subordinate to them,
habitually appear as guilty of'Indict
ment to, or apology for bloodshed and
vollence. Is an untruth so baseless and
so unjust that no possible Justification
canbe made for tt. Only the respect In
which we hold the presidential office
restrains us from characterising It by
the term which the present Incumbent
of that office so frequently employs—an

ATLANTA PAYS LOVING TRIBUTE
TO DEAD CONFEDERATE HEROES
Thousands Watch the
Memorial Day
Parade.
OAKLAND STREWN
WITH FLOWERS
Parade the Greatest Ever
Known for Memo
rial Day.
Once more In the history of Atlanta
and the South the day has arrived when
every loyal Southerner, forgetting the
cares and vexations of life and aban
doning the pursuit of success and hap
plness, enters with both heart and soul
Into the spirit of Memorial Day and
vies with his fellow in doing honor to
the veterans of the gray.
According to the annual custom
which has been religiously observed
since the roar of cannon died away at
Appomattox and the war clouds disap
peared, on Memorial Day the whole
South stands with-bared head In tho
presence of the remnant of that host of
valiant men whose name and deeds
have passed Into history.
Today the busy wheels of progress
stand still In Atlanta while her citizens
from all tho walks of life pause and pay
tribute to that portion of the South's
heroes who dwell within her gates. In
their honor has been planned one of the
most magnificent parades ever wit
nessed In the South. Arrayed In all the
pomp and panoply which such on occa
sion demands, secret orders, military
organizations and a host of others will
march to the stirring strains of "Dixie"
which have lost none of their inspiring
power since the days of '61. •
But In the Inspiring pageant, where
the brilliant trappings of the military
organizations of the present generation
will arouse praise and admiration, there
will bo one eight more Inspiring, one
body of men whose very presence stirs
tho heart of the Southerner a* nothing
else ran. This will bo the eight of the
worn and faded uniforms of gray and
the bent forms of the heroes of the
past, us with halting, feeble step they
strive to keep step to the music which

Following the exhaustive story In
The Georgian Thursday afternoon re
garding the disappearance of Attorney
Hlrsch, detectives learned that Man-
del wo* making arrangements to close
out his hotel. A conference was then
held with Recorder Broyles nnd the
latter ordered Mandel rbarrested. De
tective Sergeant Lanfdrd detailed De
tectlves Wood and Blames on the cano
and shortly before noon Friday they
visited the hotel and escorted the pro
prletor to the police station.
The detective* have so far failed to
get auy trace of the missing New York
er and have also failed to get In touch
with Clek Huff. The latter disap
peared from the hotel Tuesday nigh
at midnight Hlrsch Is said to have
vanished about the same time.
It Is learned Friday that, after cer
tain alleged rorgerle* and other Irre
gularitle* of young Hlrsch came ti
light, several prominent local lawyers,
who endorsed his petition fur admis
sion to the bar, obtained Ills lawyer's
license and tore It Into bits. It Is re
ported that a certificate udmlttln* him
to practice In the New York courts,
was also destroyed.
Hlrsch, who came to Atlanta en
dorsed by Judge Alton B. Parker, and
who, for five years, was connected with
the law officers of Abo Hummel, In
New York, appears to have cut a
wide swath In Atlunta. He had been
In this city only a short time,
the time of hts disappearance he was
connected with the offleen of Attor
ney F. M. Hughes In the Austell build
ing, whose name he Is accused of forg
ing.
Two young women, neither of whom
appears to be more than twenty years
of age, are being held In the police sta.
tlon as witnesses against Mandel,
Hlrsch and HUIt. One of these young
women states she was engaged to be
married to llufT. She takes his dls
appearance, however, very lightly.

Because twenty-one street car con
ductors and motormen met and decid.-.l
to form an association for mutual ben
efit and to apply for a charter as .i
union, twenty-one then have been flrr.l
by the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company,
The twenty-one men flred are the
same men who Joined the organization.
Of the twenty-one men thus dis
charged, only one, on far os can be
learned, had a single charge ngaln-t
hint- ' Others of the remaining number
pleaded for a reason for the discharge,
but the officials of the company refu.r
to give one.
Officials of the company have stnt d
that, no cognisance was token of the
union. However, eleven of those who
Joined were discharged, and the day
after that ten more were sent adrift.
“Is Dissatisfied."
"The company is dlesatlefled with
you" was about the most definite an
swer that could be had when men who
had served years with the com pan/
asked that they be given some explan
ation.
‘The company Is displeased with
you." the officials told A. A. Waldrop,
of 162 Courtland avenue, a young nmn
with a wife nnd two children, who hx*
served the Georgia Railway and Elec
tric Company for four years.
"I have never been discharged be
fore In my life," stated Mr. Waldrop.
"Can't you tell me why you are going
to take my position away from me."
"Wo are not going to tell you." was
tho reply.
Mr. Waldrop Is one of twenty-one.
Tho company said It was displeased
with Mr. Waldrop. In twenty hours
after that assertion was made and
Waldrop lost his Job. II. N. Hurt, su
perintendent, signed the following
,ns In Mr. Waldrop’s application
place ou tli« police force, in the
following wav, and on his word of hon-
', as the affidavit stated:

Answer: “Four years." e ,
Q. "Is the applicant addicted to tho
■e of Intoxicating liquors or narcot

A. "No.”
Q. "Is the applicant of good tastes
id Industrious habits?"
A. "Yes."
Q. "Would you yourself trust the ap
plicant with employment requiring un
doubted honesty and courage?"
A. "Yes."
A man who, the superintendent cer
tifies, Is without bad habits, who Is
honest and courageous, and who had
served the company well Is discharged
.without being given a reason therefor.
List of Men Dropped.
A representative of The Georgian
asked the Georgia Railway & Electric
Company for a list of the names, or for
some of them, of tho men who were
thus discharged, but was refused, the
statement being made that It would
