He GIVES UP Ills address
Because Of Tremendous Crowd CeaS'
Speaking, Fearing a Catastrophe.
[By Associated Pressl

New Orleans, Oct 26.-At the end
of the nine strenuous hours of enter
tainment in New Orleans which
brought his exceptionally pleasant trip
through the south to a close, Presi-
dent Roosevelt at $50 o'clock tonight
boarded the lighthouse tender Mag
nolia and began the first stage of his
return journey to the national capital.
No newspaper representative accom-
panied him and he will be out of
touch with the world throughout the
night, but by daylight tomorrow it is
expected to receive news of his sue
cessful transfer to the armored crui-
ser West Virginia, which lies at an
chor off the mouth of the river to re-
ceive him, and the beginning of the
starting stage of the returning jour-
ney.
For four days he will be absent from
American soil, which has never here
tofore happened to occur to presi-
dent during his incumbency, but
through the means of wireless teleg-
raphy it is promised that he will be
seldom out of communication with
the shore.
New Orleans Remembered.
The presidents New Orleans recep-
ton was a signal testimonial of popu
lar esteem, and of recognition of the
service which he had rendered to the
city in her period of distress. New
Orleans today remembered not only
that the president had acted with
characteristic promptness when asked
to send federal surgeons to take
charge of the fever struggle, but that
throughout the fight had sustained the
people of the stricken city with ex-
pressions of unfailing sympathy, and
when large share of the public opin-
ion of the country opposed his ventur-
| ing into New Orleans while the fever
! still prevailed here he refused to con
slider the element of personal danger
and declared his purpose to keep the
promise he made when he accepted
the original invitation to come. The
densely crowded streets, the elabor-
ate decorations, the wild applause
that greeted him along the whole
| route of the parade, the enthusiasm
with which his address to the multi
tude on Lafayette square was receiv-
ed and the remarkable demonstrations
in his honor at the luncheon were out
ward manifestations of the spirit in
which the people welcomed him.
Address Given Up.
Probably for the first time in his
career the president was compelled to
abandon a public address before he
had got well started.
1t was contemplated that the mill
tary and civil parade should pass in
review before the president and the
city hall, but the crowd which gather
ed at this point was so tremendous
that neither the police nor the troops
were able to move it and the presi-
dent, foreseeing a possible catastro-
phe in the event of a panic, finally
gave up the attempt to speak and left
the platform.
The crowd jammed st. Charles
street, from property line to propert!
line, all the way from Poydras t.
Ninth street and spread over Lafayett,
square almost from st. Charles t.

Then the bishop, priests and people
recited the Nicene creed which closed
the exercises at the corner stone.
Mayor Fosters Address.
Mayor Foster was introduced as
the speaker who represented the en-
tire CITY, He delivered an address
of 10 minutes length which was filled
with eloquent and impressive
thoughts. He said in substance that
the city was proud of its halls of
learning, it's splendid business blocks
and it's public buildings of every de-
scription, and that as the representa-
tive of the people he welcomed the

that the city supported about Is ply

after the bodily welfare of the people
while not one half that number were

Notwithstanding that the air was
raw and chilly and the lowering
clouds portended rain, large as
semblage of people gathered in front
of the rectory of the Episcopal church
at 4 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, to
witness the ceremonies attending the
laying of the corner stone of the new
church that the people of st. Luke's
parish of this city, will erect at the
corner of Thirtythird street and Sec
ond avenue, north.
During the ceremony of the corner
stone laying the people stood in the
open with barred heads, while the ven
cradle bishop of the church, in sol
emn and dignifed manner, consecrat-
ed the building to be erected to the
cause of Christ. The Reverend Jo-
seph ]. Bowker, rector of the parish,
presided during the ceremony, and
announced the different sections of
the programme. First there came the
responsive reading of the S4th psalm:
"Yea the sparrow hath found her an
house, and the swallow nest, where
she may lay her young, even thy al
tars, o Lord OF hosts, my King and
my God" Prayers by the bishop and
the people followed the reading and
the choir then sang an appropriate
hymn.
A. c. Logan's Address to Bishop.
A. c. Logan, representing the par
ish, then delivered the invitation ad-
Dress 1t was directed to the Right
Reverend Leigh r. Brewer, bishop of
the diocese of Montana, who was
present to perform the solemn cere-
mony. Mr.. Logan's address was brief
and to the point. He stated the OBJ
jects of the coming together of the
people of the parish, and as their rep
resentative, he invited the bishop to
bless the corner stone of the build
ing.
The workmen had erected a derrick
raising it, the master workman of the
men employed placed the copper re-
ceptacle in such position on the
base stone that when the corner stone
had been lowered the receptacle would
fit into a carved out space in the
corner stone that was above it. The
box was placed in position and the
stone was lowered After it had been
lowered the bishop proceeded with the
ceremony, beginning it with the fol
lowing prayer:
An Impressive Ceremony.

mercifully be pleased to bless this
stone which we are about to place fol
a foundation in the Name and strength
of Him who is the Tried and Precious
Stone, and Grant that all they who, tc
the furtherance of this work, shall
have faithfully offered to Thee OF
their substance, may ever be preserv
ed both in body and soul; through
Jesus Christ our Lord Amen"
At this time Mr.. Logan read the
list of articles that had been placed

President Roosevelt will break camp
on May 7, a week earlier than he had
intended, and viii start for Washing
ton at once. The only stops he will
make are at Denver and Chicago,
where the dates for his reception have
been advanced to meet the new ar
rangement.
Secretary Loeb announced, upon
reaching here. that affairs in Wash
ington made it necessary that the
president curtail his trip. That there
is nothing alarming in the situation is
manifested from the fact that the
hunt will be continued ten days more,
in spite of conditions of governmental
affairs which resulted in the altered
plans.
Disappointment reigns in number
of Colorado cities and towns along the
route of the presidents return trip to
Washington because of his determine
ton to curtail his hunt and start for
home on May 8. While all invitations
extended to the president to stop at
various points not on the schedule
have been rejected by Secretary Loeb,
local organizations in these towns
have been hoping that some time
would be given them. The announce
ment of the change of the plans which
was made by Mr.. Loeb carries with it
the decision not to make any stops
except at Denver and Chicago.
The party will leave Glenwood
Springs at about 4 O'Clock on May s,
reaching Denver the same evening.
After the banquet there the party will
spend the night on the train, which
will leave Denver over the Union Pa
cidc at about a. m. on May 8. There
are few important places to be passed
through on that road until Omaha is
reached. Night viii have fallen by
that time, according to the schedule,
and the trip across Iowa will be made
in darkness and no stops viii be made
except those that are absolutely neces-
sary.

IT STACKS THE CARDS.
DR.. GLADDEN. Says Standard Plays Sure
Thing Game.

Boston. April 2S-Herbert w. GIea-
son, secretary of the committee of Con
gregationalist clergymen, which has
been opposing the acceptance by the
American board of money from John
D. Rockefeller. has made public a long
statement, which DR.. Washington Glad
den, the moderator of the council Of
the Congregational church in this coun-
try, read before the protesting commit
tee.
DR.. GLADDEN. answered several Of the
declarations made by the Prudential
committee in behalf of the American
board, by repeating arguments previ-
ously made by him in interviews. par
tfcularly with reference to the conten-
ton that the money should not be ac-
cepted because of Mr. Rockefellers
connection with the Standard Oil COM
pany. DR.. GLADDEN. said:
1t is a matter of common knOWl-
edge that it has been frequently con-
victed, sometimes out of its own mouth,
Of transgressions Of the laws of the
land"
A judge of the United States district
court was quoted as having "denounc-
ed the Standard Oil company's system
of rebates as gross, Illegal and inexcus-
able and the discrimination COM
planned of in this. case as being so
wanton and oppressive that it could
hardly have been accepted by an hon
est man having a due regard for the
rights of others
DR.. GLADDEN. reviewed at length the
history Of the Standard Oil company
in various states where, he said, there
had been violation Of the law. and as
serted:
THE company has played continually
with stacked cards and loaded dice"
The company's alleged system Of re-
bates were condemned as "abhOrrent
practice" and Dr.. GLADDEN. added:
There is nothing more startling or
more ominous in American history than
the fact that such a tremendous indus
try has been permitted to go on year
after year with no interference by the
government. OF this kind of extortion
Mr.. Rockefeller has the credit of being
the inventor.
I'VE are often asked" went on DR..
GLADDEN.. why we single out this man
for reprobation. If the answer has not
already been given, it is enough to say
that we did not single him out. It was
the prudential committee who singled
him out by soliciting his donation. We
object to his gift because 1t is now be-
fore US for judgment It is said that
there are others from whom a gift
would be equally Objectionable. Even
if that was true, no gifts have been
offered by these others, and it viii be
time to decide about them when they

tan work the alliance of the Standard
Oil company we can refuse no other al
lance with oppressors and despoflers OF

testify against this iniquity because
others are nearly or quite as heinous, is

BETRAYED BY BROTHER
How President BigeIOw's Shortage Was
First Discovered.

Milwaukee, April 2s.-That william
Bigelow, vice president of the First Ma
tional bank and brother of Frank G.
BigeloW, defaulter, accidentally exposed
his brother to the directors is the story
that is accepted in banking circles as
the true version as to how the crime
became known Saturday night. It seems
that Frank G. Bigelow was called out
Of town Saturday and that the affairs
of the bank were left in the hands of
his brother. Sunday morning a tele-
gram came, addressed to BigeloW, from
a New York bank, stating that it was
willing to take care of draft for $780,
600, even though the bank was already
indebted to the New York house for
S2OO, 600.
william Bigelow could not under
stand the matter and was more puzzled
when he discovered that the New York
being indebted to the First National for
5000, 900. He asked the bank to explain
and found that the telegram was COR
rect. An examination of the books fol-
lowed and he found SO many queer
things that he decided not to wait for
his brother to return but to consult Mr..
Pfister. They suspected one of the cash
iers of defaultng and called q special
meeting of the directors. Frank G.
BigeIow returned but did not see his
brother until he reached the bank in
the evening to attend the meeting.
When the directors had assembled VIII
liam BigelOW told what ne mad dfscoV-
cred and stated that he had no idea OF
the amount taken or who the criminal
was. Thereupon his brother arose and
made the startling disclosure that he
was a defauIter for more than million
dollars.
Friends Of Bigelow fear that he is on
the verge of a complete mental and
physical breakdown. His peculiar ac-
tons caused his family considerable
alarm. and three physicians were I1ur-
