PRESIDENT WALTER RESIGNS.
Troubles in the Management of the Lehig1
Valley Road Responsible.
(By the ASSOCIATED Press.l

Philadelphia, Nov. 19.-Alfred Walter,
president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
G )mpany, has resigned to take effect No.
1ber Both. Differences of opinion re-
garding the management of the company
are assigned as the reason.
The resignation of President Walter
was presented to the board of directors
of the Lehigh Valley Company, which
met this afternoon. President Walter
said
Gentlemen: l hereby tender my res,g-
nation as president of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company" and Immediately
left the room. President Walter went
at once to New York. None of the di-
rectors would discuss the resignation.
There has been much criticism recently
of the management of the road, and
President Walter has several times felt
called on to defend his policy. The ad-
verse comment on the companys affairs
has had the effect of lowering the price
of the stock. Following the announce
ment of Mr.. Walters resignation, the
stock became quite strong on the local
exchange.

A DAY OF ADDRESSES
Roosav. It Makes Four Speecht t---He Eulogizes
General Wright The Negroes Show
Their Gratitude TO Wrieh.---A
Great Demonstration.
(By the Associated Press.)

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 19.-Although
the festivities today celebrated the home
coming of General Luke E. Wright, vice
Governor of the Philippines, it is no re-
Election upon the warmth of the welcome
extended to him that President Roose-
velt's was the overshadowing feature of
the day. Excursion trains were run into
the city and number of distinguished
people were present to participate in the
celebration. Among them were Governor
Benton McMillin and General Joseph
Wheeler
Immediately after the Presidents ar
rival there was parade through the
streets to the Gayoso Hotel, where a
breakfast was rendered the President
and General Wright Jointly by the ladies
of Memphis. In the afternoon, tho
President spoke at two receptions given
i'll honor of General Wright, one at the
Auditorium, by white citizens, the other
at hall in the black section of the city
by the colored people. Later there was
a Colonial Danes tea at the GayoSo, and
the festivities closed tonight with an
dent delivered q speech.
Including some brief remarks at the
breakfast, the President spoke four
times during the day. Altogether it was
a splendid tribute to the affection and
esteem in which General Wright is held
at home. That Mrs. Wright also is ex-
ceedingly popular, was made apparent
by the applause which greeted every ref
erence to her. This was especially
marked at the Auditorium, when the
President referred to the fact that his
mothers brother served in thel Confed-
crate navy under her father. who was
Admiral Semmes.
Mayor Williams and Governor McMillin
made addresses of welcome and the au-
dience was very enthusiastic when Gen
eral Wright delivered his response. He
was greatly touched by the compliment
paid him by the Presidents presence and
with the demonstration in his honor.
General Wright did not go deeply into
the situation in the Philippines in his
remarks, but he emphasized the fact that
the administration of the islands, under
both Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt
had been of an absolutely non partisan
character. President Roosevelt had not
intended to speak at this reception, but
the assemblage would not be denied and
ne spoke briefly.
The reception rendered by the coloree
people was truly remarkable. General
Wright earned their undylng gratitude
during the two yellow fever epidemics
twenty years ago, by remaining here
when most of the whites had fed and
seeing that the sick were cared for. The
hall was packed, galleries and pit, to

being here on behalf of the nation to

owe to General Wright, the way he has
stood for whatever is highest and best
in the nation out in the Philippines, it
would be to have the chance of meeting

here that no small part of our future
success in dealing with the people in
the Philippines will depend upon the So
cial attitude taken by our leading rep
resentatives toward them and the work
and great debt of gratitude is due, not
only to Governor Wright for the work he
has done in his sphere, but to Mrs.
Wright for what she has done in hers.
