Memphis,. Tcno..! Oot. 4.—Fifty thou
sand cheering people were on the river
front today to greet the arrival of the
fleet bearing President Roosevelt and
hla party shortly afley i o’clock.
He wtui accorded the noisiest and
heartiest welcome possible. Whistles,
bells and bombs announced the arrival
of.the president and drowned out the
cheers of the crowd* on the levee.
President Roosevelt'(hid:
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
"The Mississippi valley Is a mag'
nlflrent empire In alse and .fertility. It
Is better adapted to the development of
Inland navigation than any other valley
In either hemlaphere, for there are 13,-
onn miles of waterway* now more or
less fully navigable, ant} the conditions
are so favorable that It will be easy to
increase the extent of navigable water,
ways to almost any required degree by
canalisation.
"Early In our Industrial history this
valley waa the seat of the largest de
velopment of Inland navigation In the
fnlted Htates. and perhaps you will
pardon my mentioning that the Drat
steamboat west of the Alleghenies waa
built by a Roosevelt, my great-grand
father's brother. In 1111, for the New
Orleans trade, and In that year made
the trip from Pittsburg to New Or-
leana. But from various causes river
and canal transportation declined all
over the United States as the railroad
systems came to their full devel
ment. It la our butlnea* to see that
decline la not permanent, and It Is of
Interest to remember that nearly a cen
tury ago President Madison advocated
the canalisation of the Mississippi.
WEALTH INCOMPARABLE.
"In wealth of natural resource* no
kingdom of Europe can compare with
the Mississippi valley and the region
around the great lakes, taken together,
and In population this huge fertile plain
already aurpaaaea all save one or two of
the largest European kingdoms. In thi*
empire a peculiarly stalwart and mas
terful people finds Itself In the sur
roundings beat fitted for the full devel
opment of It* powers and faculties,
"There has been a great growth In the
valley ef manufacturing centers; the
movement la good If It does not go
too far; but I moat earnestly hope that
thla region as a whole will remain
predominantly agricultural. The peo

MAJOR E. E. POMEROY.
He Is probably to be the new
colonel of the Fifth regiment
Who la to succeed Colonel Clifford I*
Anderson as colonel, of the Fifth regl
ment of the National Guard of Geor
gia?
With the election of Colonel Ander
son to the position of brigadier gen
eral assured by tha retirement of Colo,
nel W. G. Obear from the race, this la
the question which military men are
now asking themselves and each other.
There Is on* answer to the question
by military men; and that Is—Major E.
E. Pomeroy.
Until It becam* definitely known that
Colonel Anderson would be promoted,
thus necessitating an election for colo
nel of the regiment, very lljtle ha*
been said In regard to the matter, but
•Ince his election Is practically assured
Major Pomeroy Is being prominently
mentioned as hi* successor.
Up to the present the major has no
opposition In HI* candidacy, and mili
tary men In Atlanta Friday stated that
In all probability h* will be elected
without opposition.
The election will not be held until
after Colonel Anderson la elected brig
adier general.
Major Pomeroy has been connected
with the Fifth regiment for a number
of years, and has held the rank of ma
jor four or nve years. He ranks among
the most efficient military men In the
State and the colonel's epaulets will fit
him well.
Should Major Pomeroy be elected
colonel of the Fifth his election will
necessitate still another election to fill
the vacancy caused by his promotion.
Captain I. T. Catron, of Company C,
has announced his candidacy for this
position and Captain W. T. Spratt, of
Company D. may probably enter the
race for this office.
The-board of trustees of the Georgia
Institute of Technology has launched a
plan to convert the Tech Into a night
us well as a day school, and from all
Indications the night school will be
opened on January 1.
At the last meeting of the trustees
the president of the Technological
School, Dr. K. G. Matheaon, waa au
thorised to make an Investigation as
to the feasibility of the plan and to
confer with the city council aa to (he
financing of the proposed night school.
In case the council refuses to make
the necessary appropriation then prob
ably the patriotic citizens of Atlanta
will be called upon to make the nec
essary contributions. The matter will
he brought before the city council next
Monday afternoon. It la probable that
the finance committee will be called
together on Saturday or early on Mon
day and asked to Include the necessary
funds for financing the school from
January to Juno In the October appor
tionment sheet, which has been made
up and will be reported to council Mon.
day.
For Working Mon,
''The plan,” stated President Mathe-
aon, “la one that can not fall to appeal
to the people of the city generally, to
the laboring man and to the employer
of the laboring man.
"Out at the college we hav* a mag
nificent plant which can be made just
*■ useful In night as It la In day. This
plant could be thrown open to the
working men of the state who live In
Atlanta; the mechanic who has to work
In the day time could perfect him
self In this profession at night; the
aspiring young working man who has
not had the opportunity before may
learn chemistry or tha electrical busi
ness. or any kindred trade.
"We could accommodate at loaat 500
at the night aehool, could have a special
faculty and we might he able to use
some members of the regular day fac
ulty who are willing to take up thla
work.
“At the Armour Institute In Chicago
the dally attendance la 500, while the
pupils at the night school number 1,100.
At Berlin there are 85 of such night
school*. Here we hav* none.
"A nominal tuition could be charged
•ay 35 a term. What working man
would not be willing to pay $1 a month
to attend the school? Council will be
•aked to appropriate about 13.500 for
the first term, which begins Jahuary.
"Next year It la proposed to run the
school from September to June. I am
meeting with encouragement from ev
ery source, and am now confident of
the feasibility of the plan.”
The apportionment sheet for the last
quarter has been made up by the
finance committee, and an effort will be

Ida M. Tarbell’s Brother
Takes Stand in
Hearing.
New York, Oct. 4.—W. W. Tarbell,
brother of Ida M. Tarbell. fne of the
Rockefeller Interests In the oil trust,
today laid bare the methods of oppres
sion adopted by the Standard to wreck
the Independent concern with which he
a connected.
He wna called as the first witness by
Frank B. Kellogg, representing the gov
ernment In the proceedings to dissolve
the combine on the', charges' of sup
pressing competition. ’ ,
Tried to Control.
Mr. Tarbell la president of the United
Pipe Line, tn which the.Standard. Oil
holds a third Interest.* He testified that
the concern sought to build a pipe line
from oil fields In western Pennsylvania
to handle the product-of Independent
concern* to the railroad.
The usual obstacles of buying,up the
right of way to prevent construction of
the rival’s line were resorted to.. It was
alleged that the Erie. Lackawanna and
the Pennsylvania railroads entered Into
the fight and finally succeeded In pre
venting the construction of the pipe
line to New York.
Standard representative* bought
stock In Tarbell’* company and tried to
control It. Tarbell and his friends
fought desperately to prevent the
Standard from getting the upperhnnd
and the concern I* operating today, but
under difficulties.
Til I ford on Stand.
Wesley H. Tlllford, secretary of th#
Standard, displaced Mr. Tarbell for a
few moments on the witness stand at
the request of John J. Mllburn, who
wished to have him make certain cor
rection* In his testimony.
Mr. Kellogg took advantage of the
presence of the witness on the stand
to ask him some questions. The wit
ness, however, did not know why the
American company should have ac
counts receivable from Mr. McDonald
London sometimes running as high
as 12,000,006.
Tarbell Talked.
Mr. Tarbell said he started In the oil
business In 1667 and In 1894 the forma
tion of the Producers' Association, to
which no person affiliated with the
Standard Oil Company might gain en
trance, brought the position of the In
dependent producers to a focus. The

McCartney and published In The Rome
Hilly Herald on Thursday, relating to
the "firing” of Railroad Commissioner
Joseph M. Brown by Governor Smith,
Air. Brown, when reached by long-dla-

■”I hate nothing to say In regard to
Ithe truth or falsity of the statement In

At the present time I have nothing to
make public and will take no action In
the matter of my discharge until Gov

■Th© article in question. In which It
was alleged that Governor Smith re
moved Commissioner Brown from or
ifice upon receipt of a letter written
him by the latter, waa In substance as
| follows:

Governor Smith wea nut of the city
Friday and could not be interviewed In
regard to the article. Mr. Brown re
fused to Bay whether he did or did not .

The popular Impression has been nil
along, and still Is, <**at the governor’s
action In removing Commissioner
Brown was based upon lha dis
approval of the commissioner’s record
on matters at Issue between the rail
roads and the people, and that It was
In compliance with a distinct pledge
made to the people of Georgia In his
campaign for governor.
On Wednesday The Herald alto pub

which purports to be on Interview with

quoted as saying that "as a business
proposition the state of Georgia Is mis
erably managed." and that "part of the
confusion In the school fund Is at
tributable to his predecessor, ex-Oov-

Governor Smith stated. Thursday that
he gave no Interview to any newspaper
man and that the etory very Inaccu
