POLICE GUARD STRICT. |
Men Stationed on Fire Escapes
Closed Zone Established.

Little Hungary" in the district east of the
Bowery gave a tremendously enthusiastic well
come to President Roosevelt last night, in spite
of the frosty weather and the efforts of several
hundred policemen TO dampen the ardor of the
tenement house dwellers in that part of the city.
Thousands of the men, women and children of
the lower East Side, many of them scantily clad
for such exposure, stood for hours in the bitter
cold, crowding together against the police lines,
to see the Presidents carriage pass and join in
the shouts that greeted his arrival in the dis
trct.
Extraordinary precautions had been taken by
the police to prevent any harm to the President
on his visit to Little Hungary" for the first
time since the night when he, as Governor,
dined there 1t was the first time President
of the United States had visited that part OF
the city, and. although there was reason to be-
lieve that no one of the many anarchists living
in the district wished injury to the President,
the police did not want to take any chances.
At 6 o'clock the police began to clear the block
in Houston-st between Avenue A and Avenue
B. The big restaurant on the south side and
in the middle of the block where the dinner to
the President to be given. already flashed
forth in electric flame welcome to Our Pres-
dent" and similar glowing signs appeared on
the fronts of buildings on the north side of the
street, while flags and bunting were displayed
literally by the various shops. Thousands of
people were in the block then, gazing at the
decorations and signs.
A troop of mounted police rode slowly into
the crowd and working east and west, gradu-
ally moved the sightseers into TIE side streets,
where strong police lines established TO
keen them back The crowd in the best of
humor and no disorder or resistance occurred
The natient people allowed themselves to be
herded back and in remarkably short time the
street before the restaurant and for two blocks
in either direction as well for half block
down the side streets absolutely cleared.
Every entrance TO house or store within the
nolice lines was guarded by an officer, while on
the housetops opposite the cafe stood policemen

with the certainty of well arranged plans. and
whichever some belated homecomer whose house
was within the guarded zone appeared he was
accompanied to his door by patroman and
told to remain indoors
Driven off the street. the tenants Of houses in
the cleared block crowded the fire escapes and
leaned out of front windows In short time
the people anxious to the Presidents arrival
were posted in this way by the hundred In

Hembree resulted in the acquittal Of
the defendant, and occupied almost the
entire day of court The jury in the
case was empaneled Friday after
noon, and at the convening of court
this morning the case was promptly
begun.
The state submitted four witnesses
and the defense five. An important
point brought out in the states testi-
mony was the fact that the load Of
shot that inflicted the death wound of
Fl. II. Hembfee came from a cut she'll.
A portion Of the shell was taken out
of the wound in the thigh Of the dead
man, along with the bullets.
The defendant, young man Of about
80 years, was a calm, expresslonless,
but interested spectator of all the pro-
ceedings today He is Of medium build,
with sparse moustache, black hair
and eyes, and dressed as the ordinary
countryman of the northwestern sec
ton of the country. BY his side during

hair and eyes. Directly behind the

but unpretentiously dressed. and be-
side her, with an infant grooming and

ing when the tragedy occurred.

die" Is a Girl,

A tired mother with two children,
a baby of years that sat on her lap
and bright-eyed boy Of perhaps 4,
who sat beside her, were trying to
enjoy little luncheon in restaurant
in the business section of the city.
Two young ladies entered and sat
down at, the same table. Seeing the
difficulty the woman had in eating
lunch and holding her younger child
at the same time, one of the young
ladies leaned over and said in pro-
initiating tone: "What sweet little
boy! Won't you let me hold him until
you finish lunch?' The mother gladly
granted the request and was transfer
ing her charge into the arms OF the
younger woman, when the little boy,
with never a smile, raised his voice
and exclaimed: He amt boy; he's
a little girl!"-Philadelphia Press.

DETAILS OF TIE MINE HORROR
rhirty-Nine Bodies Have Been Taken
From the Virginia Mine and No
Hope is Held Out That Any Of The
40 Mon Repainino Ara Alive.

~ Men zncHldiniH9 Htc SHsS'
Birmingham, Ala, Special.-As re-
suit of the most horrible mine disaster
In the history Of Alabama, SO blacken-
ed, bruised and twisted human bodies
aave been recovered from the Virginia
mines at a late hour and laid out for
Identification by heart-broken mothers,
wives, sisters, and sweethearts. 1t is
now stated positively that 16O men
were in the mine at the time OF the
lust explosion and not the slightest
hope il held out to sorrowing loved
ones that a man Of them will live to
tell of the horrible disaster.
With the first ominous rumble OF the
coming catastrophe, by common i'm
pulse, every one in the village rushed
to the mouth of the main slope, fear
struggling against hope for the safety
Of loved ones. The scenes at the mines
this afternoon were the most gruesoma
and narrowing that have ever been
witnessed in the mining section OF Ala
5ama. Corpses were frightfully man
gled and disfgured and Identification
is almost impossible. Many of the
bodies are so bruised, twisted and dig
:olored that negroes cannot be told
from white men.
All day long at the mouth OF the
mine were waiting and moaning women
and children whose relatives were
among the unfortunates. One hundred
families and 800 children are LETT des-
titute and without means Of support by
the calamity. AS the bodies Of the vic
tins, which in many cases have been
gathered together piece at d time, are
brought to the surface they are placed
In rows OH rough improvlsed plat
form. Late Tuesday ambulances began
the removal of those SO far recovered
to Bessemer.
Since the list of dead will probably
90 to 100, the local undertakers have
wired to adjoining cities for coffins,
as it was found there were not enough
suitable coffins in the district to bury
the victims. Out of the so bodies re-
covered one was found about o'clock
this afternoon, which was barely alive.
The body was carefully taken from the
mine and heroic methods resorted to
to bring the man to consciousness. He
is still alive, but scant hope is held out
for his recovery.
President Flynn, OF the Alabama
United Mine Workers, said to the AS
sociated Press: II shall be surprised 1t
a single person escapes alive from that
mine. Ventilation Is very difficult ana
if the men were not killed by the e1-
plosion they have certainly been suffo-
Gated by the gases. The bodies so far
reached were in the main slope and 1t
will be several days before we can get
to the rooms which branch off from the
main slope"
President Flynn worked all Tues
day night with pick and shovel at the
mine and other mine officials were
among the leaders in the rescue WORK
Conspicuous among these was W. r.
Farley, member Of the national exeeu-
tive board OF the United Mine Workers
from Alaska.

coIombjan "Raln Tree"

A novelty in the vegetable kingdom
has recently been reported as native
to the United States OF Colombia. In
the woods adjacent to the city
Moyobamba grows q tree which the
natives call "fain tree" It is about
fifty feet high when it reaches ma.
turity and about three feet III diafieter
at its base, and has the property of
absorbing an immense quantity Of h,l-
midity from the atmosphere. This
is concentrates and subsequently
pours forth from its leaves and
branches In shower and in such
abundance that in many cases the
ground IN its neighborhood is convert
ed into veritable bog. 1t possesses
this curious property In the greatest
degree in the summer, when the riv-
ers are at the lowest point and water
is scarce. 1t has been suggested that
this tree be planted in the more arid
parts of Peru for the benefit Of the
farmers.
