Here President Amador left MT Roosevelt. and went on to Panama. while the Amer iean President continues to IaBoca, the Pacific entrance to the canal Here Pres ident Roosevelt boaaslad tpaasteamer Boli- var, made a trip around Panama bay and came back to LaBoca for lunch. This afternoon the President came from La Boca to Panama City.

 President Roosevelt's landing here so early in the morning was as much of surprise to inhabitan of this town as was his early arrival here yesterday. Ac- cording to the programme he was not to come ashore at Colon until m.
 The pier at which he landed was dee- orated with palms and bunting and was surrounded by crowds of people anxious to see the President. but there were no representatives of the government of Pan anna present. Chief of Police Shanton. with a force of seventy-two picked men, belonging to the zone police. was the first person to receive the President. who i'm mediately upon landing inspected the force and highly complimented Shanton on their appearance. It was shortly after this that Messrs Shonts and Stevens. their wives and others arrived, and word of the Presidents landing was sent to President Amador's party, who were at breakfast.

At the conclusion of the Shriners
parade Thursday afternoon, the
Shriners kidnapped Mayor Harvey
w. Harmer, who was standing along
the line, and forcibly took possession
of him. He resisted with all his
might but it was to no use. They
pulled him along to fine steps of the

the city and stated Clarksburg had
freely surrendered the hotels, streets
and homes for their accommodation,
and they had gotten every thing else
that was not free any way.
