tons Taken for His Safety-Gist
of His Address.
Washington, Feb. 1G. - President
Rooseves Wednesday from his
two days visit to New York, greatly to
the relief OF the army of detectives,
secret service men and police who had
been detailed to guard him especially
in Little Hungary" where he was the
guest of the Hungarian Republican
club Tuesday night
No untoward incident occurred, and
the only persons who seemed 10 suffer
were the detectives compelled to spend
the time on housetops and fire escapes
watching for the anarchist who never
came. AS a matter of fact. President
Roosevelt never found himself among
people more eager to Go him honor than
the residents of he great East side tene-
ment district in New York, who until
Tuesday never had president visit
them.
The police arrangements for protect
ing President Roosevelt were different
in many ways from those of Monday
night. when he WAS at The Waldorf
Astoria. and later at the Hotel Astor.
AT the las, named places Capt O Brien,
OF the detective au. had his gang
of sleutis in evening clothes. The presi-
cent rtcoHniHed snme O: the detectives
then whom he would have been unable
to distinguish 'rnes;.ay nisht.
There were tMo reasons tor this. One
was due to hc fact that Capt OBricn
deemed it best to have his men CARRIED
in the Gress Of the Buwcry.
The same batch that had shunc so re-
sE!e'.Grnt in evening clothes Monday
night. were ric&cd up Tuesday night in
l.nn shirts and biz black sweaters, With
caps pulled Gown over their ears.
Detectives Are Everywhere.
OHrfn. who always has liked to see
his men dressed in this fashion, walked
along In" route and beamcd upon them
with evident pride as they pcerod down
from bouao-top or Out from bchsld {,

Some time before the president and
's'N l'''''' 'li y I'.N iitN Il'iiSlpll
street. O'l}ricn gave a mysterious sig
| nal. and the so unrouth Hawkshaws
Madr for the roofs along the way. The
police had imagined that as soon as the
presidential party arrived in Houston
street and turned east there would be 4
rush to the housetops Oh the part of the
residents. But the residents pre-
ferred to take chances of view
| ing the president from a side street
rather than brave the arctic weather or
the roofs. AS the result of this decision
On their part the only occupants of tho
roofs in the Little Hungary" ncighbor-
hood were O'Brinn's blue-shirtel
brigade.
President Sole Speaker.
Except for President Braun, who in
| PRODUCED him, the president was the
only speaker at the banquet. This
thoughtful concentration of the lime
light on the honorcd guest was not only
an exemplitication OF the perfect hos
pitality of the Hungarians toward the
president. but was in a degree a neces-
sary concession to time and time table
The presidents address was a
mingling of greeting for old friends with
whom he had been associated when he
was police commissioner with one OF
his familiar homilies on the necessity
of good citizenship for the salvation of
the nation. He also dwclt ON the mar
Vicious quality of our government, which
assimilates men of all nations and of all
crceGs under its beneli"em Influences
Talks Of Citizenship.
In Part, President Roosevelt said:
AmericaHiSm is not a matter OF
birthplace. of ancestry. OF creed. Of oc-
cupation; Amcrcanism is a matter oil
the spirit that is within man S soul
Memories Of price are associated not
with days of ease, but with days of eff,
fort, the days when you had 10 Go ali
t-at was in you for some worthy end.
'"The great prizes come more or less
by accident, but to each man there
comes normally the chance so to lead
| his life that al the cnd of his days his
| children. his wife. those who are dear tC
him. shall rise up and call him blessed
more than ausht else we need that
| the average man shall have in him the
| root Of righteous living"
The special train left New York
shortly after midnight for this city.
