PRoYINCEToWN, Mass, Aug. 30
The laying of the corner store of the
Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial monu-
ment in the presence of President

memorates the first landing within a
few feet of its base of the Pilgram
Fathers.
All the prominent persons invited
to participate in the exercises arrived
last night with the exception of
President Roosevelt. He arrived on
the Mayfiower at $3.50 O'Clock this
morning and was saluted by eight
battlesh.ps in the harbor. Numer-
GUS yachts and some fifty sail of
fishermen which is the basis of
Provincetown's wealth in the harbor
were all decked with flags in honor
of the occasion.
Regarding the present stock mar
ket excitement the President said
in his address:
There Is worldwide financial
disturbance but our governments de-
termination to punish certain wealthy
malefactors may have caused them
to try to discredit the government
policy by increasing financial dis
tress. However. there will be no
change in the policy nor let up in the
effort to secure an honest observ-
apce of the law"
He said: "our aim is to help
every honest man. every honest cor
poration and our policy means in its
ultimate analysis healthy and pros
porous expansion of business actions
of honest business men and honest
corporations"

MR.. BONAPARTE
SOON TO RESIGN
Attorney Generals FIippant Policy
As To Trusts Does Not Suit
President Roosevelt.
OUT HE WILL
From the Roosevelt Cabinet, tho
Presidents Close Friends Ad
vising Such Action.
rBy AssocIatod Press.1

NEW YORK, Aug 2O-The Jour
nal OF Commerce today publishes a
story regarding the possible retire
ment of Attorney General Bonaparte
from the Cabinet 1t says that ac-
cording to important interests in this
city very close to the administration
the usefulness of Mr.. Bonaparte as
a member of the Presidents cab
met has eliminated. It is not ex-
pected his immediate retirement will
result. for such action might be con-
strued as sign of weakening In the
Presidents antitrust policy, a con-
struction particularly distasteful to
Roosevelt since not the slightest
justification exists for It, but there
is no question but that the President
is not insympathy with the recent
fippant and undignifed attitude
and at least, the doubtful legal pro-
ceedure displayed by the attorney
general, but is in all respects oppos-
ed to them.
The attorney generals policy. the
Journal of Commerce says. 1T is un-
derstood, 1t condemned by all the
Presidents most trusted advisers.

At An Adjourned Session Held by
the City Council Last
Night.

The city council held an adjourn
ed session Monday night to award
the contract for the paving of Balti-
more, South Chestnut and West
Main streets and Carr avenue. Four
bids were read as follows:
H. c. Brooks & Co.. heavy foun-
dation, $1S,755; light foundation,
$15,195.
Joe Fuccy, heavy foundation, $1S,-
42O.2O; light foundation, $17,174.2O.

s1S.621.6O.
Clarksburg Improvement Co.,

After. Councilman Johnson had
made lengthy speech opposing the
awarding of the contract for paving,
the bid of Mr.. Fuccy being the low
est was accepted and he was award
ed the contract. The bond will be
sixty per cent of the amount.
Superintendent Edward Doyle
stated that he had taken some of the
councilmen out to the city's fine new
lake, commonly known as the most
frightful cesspool in creation. At
ter taking good look at 1t they
came back. In the near future it is
probable the city will have the lake
fenced in and will give it an appro-
pirate name. Perhaps. enough en-
terprlse will be summoned to start
a small summer resort at that point
provided the state board of health
and the approaching grand jury do
not spoil these plans.
