THE PRESIDENT
Spanish Var Veterans Meet Him
While Parading.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau.J


Washington, Oct. 9-The President and Mrs
Roosevelt were vociferously cheered by the
United Spanish War Veterans this afternoon
as the former soldiers were passing the White
House in their annual parade the President, ac-
companied by Mrs. Roosevelt. drove out, bound
for the suburbs where they were met by a
groom with their horses and went for q long
ride
The meeting Of the President and the veterans
to-day was entirely impromptu. There had been
some question regarding the Presidents review
ing the parade. and he decided that he could give
one afternoon TO his Spanish war comrades but
left it to their option whether he should spend
that afternoon reviewing the procession or re-
ceiving them personally in the White House.
The veterans chose the reception and ii not
expected that he would see the parade
The President drove out Of the White House
grounds, however. as the parade was passing
down Pennsylvania avenue. and the executives
carriage was compelled to turn to one side. AS
soon as the veterans recognized its occupants
they sent up a lusty cheer for "Comrade Roose-
velt." which was echoed and re-echoed up and
down the lines The batter Of artillery from
Fort Myer was drawn up along the avenue, at
rest, but as the officers recognized the
Commander in Chief OF the Army thew brought
their men TO attention and presented arms The
President doffed his hat right and left his
carriage wended its way down the avenue and
finally. coming to a break. crossed over.
Tomorrow afternoon the President will
ceve all the veterans, many of them almost too
youthful TO appear TO deserve the name. Each
will be presented by name and will receive the
executive handshake. while all will thus have an
opportunity OF seeing the interior of the White
House
To-day's parade was especially fine and made
a noteworthy showing. The veterans were es
corted by a company Of regular artillery from
Fort SIyCr the District of Columbia militia and
most or the bands in Washington.
The principal business at the morning ses-
sion of the organization was the ratlhcatlon OF

Young Fox-TerrIer.
Dear RACQUET, when you cross your paws
And prick those dainty ears Of satin
How often must I g-teve because
The art is lost OF pure dog Latin!
Once beasts with men held kindly speech,
The woodman and the oak would parley
The farmer seasoaably preach
To holding ears o: wheat and barley.
Al. ne, That grammar IS forgot
And narrower Our modern lore is;
No tongues have now the polyglot
save LiJerse EuElaniOres.
So access TO your little brain
only get by winding channels;
What mysteries tc yoI were plain
Had the language Of the kennels!
But sudden knowledge. long denied.
Might lead YOU into affectation,
Make you unbearsble from pride
and discontinued with your station
Ashamed that you were but q dog.
Inflated with insane ambition,
You might, ike that unhappy frog,
Become byword OF derIslol-
Nav, pardon my unseemly pen;
What right Is mine thus 10 insult your
Discreet Intelligence? We men
Have no monopoly OF culture.
For after all your way you find
About this world with srout ana nuzzle;
Is life 20 our superior mind
Less OF Z problem or puzzle?
All, surely 90 the Powers Unseen,
With ulster view Us both discerning
How small the difference between
Our relative degrees Of learning!
II this be heresy, At least
one fact know requires no proving;
Alike n man ana bird and beast
The highest gilt IS that OF loving.
Courage and Loyalty and Trust
Are virtues too that brook no scornlnSi
Wherever found they always must
BE honored, man or dog adorninS-
Then, Racquet. we viii not despair
OF opening UP communications
Though words for Us are empty air,
Yet there are other revelations.

VERDICT OF MURDER.
Finding of coroner's Jury in Haast
Case at Wray.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Wray. Colorado, Saturday, says: The
Hast jury finished hearing testimony
at Z O'Clock this evening, but did not
arrive at verdict until midnight.
The verdict is that Gerretie Hast
came to her death between, and in
cluding, the 27th and goth days of De-
cember, 1905. from a gunshot wound
in the head, caused by bullet fired
from 3S-calibre revolver, and says
that the probability is that said re-
volver was held and discharged by
Garrit j. Van Wyk or Wouthetie Van
Wyk. his wife. and in pursuance of a
fixed and agreed plan deliberately and
feloniously entered into between the
said Garrit j. Van Nyk and Wouthetje
Van Wyli. his wife, to murder the said
Gerretje Hast, and further finds that
said killing was not accidental, nor sui
cidal, but was Intentional and feloni-
ously committed.
Mrs. Van Wyk will Immediately be
placed under arrest and with her hus-
band arraigned for preliminary hear
ing Monday morning.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Two Men Arrested for Passing Bad
Ten.DoIIar Bills.

Denver.-Counterfeit $40 bills have
been turned out by the score by James
Robert Bernard, a stationary engineer
living at S26 East Thirty-second ave
nue., say secret service agents in the
employ of the government. Bernard,
who will be charged with manufacture
ing the currency. and his cousin, ID. B.
Blackburn, who passed some of 1t, are
in jail in Denver.
The stationary engineer was cap
tured at his home Friday morning by n
squad of police.
Blackburn was caught last Wednes-
day at La Jutna. Colorado, where, it is
alleged, he rendered one of the spur
ious greenbacks to bartender named
Lee Dowdel. After his arrest he gave
information that implicated his cousin.
When Barnard was arrested eighty
six of the ten-dollar bills were found
in his pocket The bills We're a good
imitation of the real article. They had
been aged with acid and, to all appear
ances, were genuine.
