Epscial Dispatch From Stan Correspondent
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 24.--If the spirit
of John Paul Jones looked down today on
the honors paid his earthly body he will
know that republics in the end are not I'm p
grateful. and perhaps he will regret, so far
as immortals can regret the gusty anger in
which he threatened TO renounce the land
OF his adoption and auction his sword in the
markets of the world. 1t was certainly the
most distinguished gathering that old An
napolis has ever seen.
The President the French ambassador
the governor of Maryland the cabinet al
most to a man. the highest officers of the
navy and representatives of the French sea
power were all gathered in the great armory
hall at the Naval Academy when the Presi.
dent this afternoon rose TO say the last
words of praise over Hle body of America s
first and greatest sea fighter, 1l3 years dead
and so long lost, except in memory, to the
nation he had served
Far in the oftiug lay the warships of two
powers. ships that would have made the
best that John Paul Jones ever saw LOOK
like cookie shells. But the admiral of the
American navy, the commanders of the
great steel warships In the ofing, the repre-
sentatives of France, trained to uphold her
naval prestige, all bowed before the flag
draped coffin of the ablest sea fighter that
ever trod a deck or led the boarders in q

man who braved them, the day was almost,

Academy Grounds Resplendent
The academy grounds, green of sod and
half in leaf, were bright and shining from
the recent rain. The new buildings of the
academy stood gray and fresh under the
sting of the cold west wind. But the sky
was cloudless and the season at it's best.
Early In the morning the coffin bearing
the remains of the great little admiral was
lifted from the vault in the midst of the
lawn before the new chapel and was rev.
erently carried by detail from the Santee
to It's resting place in the Armory Hall.
There the guard that for eight months has
kept unceasing watch continued It's vigil
till relieved by the detail of sailors from
the French cruiser squadron. The coffin
was flag draped and upon it at the head
rested a wreath Of laurel and spray of
palm, the gift OF the cadets. while the only
other emblem was the gold -hilted sword
presented by Louis XVI after the little
edmiraFs world-famed battle with the
SeraDis.
Great Armory Hall Filled.
The great new armory hall, with its seat
ing capacity of over 6,OOO, was filed to the
doors. The decorations were simple a

The following telegram was received
later at the War Department today from
Gen. Greedy:
Seventeenth and Eighteenth batteries of
Field Artillery arrived today. Regarding
quartermasters and commissaries in addi-

that as soon as the San Francisco and
Oakland banks are ready to resume busi-
ness he will make deposits in them to the

lieving the strain in the stricken city. The
funds will be transferred Wnen the banks
have arranged to put up securities. as they

President Roosevelt's Address.
The President spoke as follows:
On behalf of the American people l wish
to thank our ancient ally, the great French
nation, that proud and gallant nation, to
whose help We once owed 1t that John Paul
Jones was able to win for the stars and
stripes the victory that has given him
deathless fame. and to whose courtesy we
now owe IT that the body of the long-dead
hero has been sent hither, and that to COM
memorate the reception of the illustrious
dead a squadron of French warships has
come to our shores.
The annals of the French navy are filed
with the names of brave and able seamen,
each of whom counted death mistress
when the honor of his flag was at stake;
and among the figures of these brave men
there loom the larger shapes of those who.
like Tourville, Duquesne and the Bailli de
Suffern, won high renown as ieetSadmirals.
inferior to none of any navy of their day
in martial prowess.
In addition to welcoming the diplomatic
and official representatives of France here
present, let me also express my heartiest
Acknowledgements to our former ambassador
to Paris, Gen. Horace Porter, to whose
Jealous devotion particularly owe 1t that
the body of John Paul Jones has been
brought to our shores
Career an Object Lesson.
When the body was thus brought over the
representatives of many different cities
wrote to me, each asking that 1t should
find its last resting place in his city. But
l feel that the place of all others In which
the memory of the dead hero will most
surely be living force is here In Annapolis

feel in each fiber of his being the eager

WILL NOT MAKE STATEMENT.
he Attorney General Reticent Re
garding Proposed Prosecutions.

Attorney General Moody today declined to
{ Eny or affirm that his department is ar
{ Angling to bring prosecutions against the
fertilizer trust represented in the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company Of Richmond.
This trust supplies most of the fertilizers
for the cotton crops Of the south and is said
to control the phosphate works In southern
states and the cotton seed oil mills.
From what can be gathered the prosecu-
ton is to be undertaken In Nashville, Tenn,
and the department will be represented by
Assistant Attorney General Purdy.
The Department of Justice has been en-
gagged in gathering facts concerning the
trust for a long time and is sad to have
sufficient evidence to make strong presen-
tation to a federal grand jury.
