Leaving the British ships astern the
Mayf1ower was greeted with the boom
ing cannon of the German squadron,
and President Roosevelt was treated to
a genuine surprise. The Room and the
Bremen came into American waters
wearing the dark gray coats of the Ger
man squadrons.
AS a mark of respect to the American
ships, both cruisers appeared today in
brand new coats of white paint as spick
and span as the United States vessels
themselves. The Room fired the first of
her 81 guns in honor of the president
just as the echoes of the Good Hopes
saluting cannon had died away.
The Austrian ships, the Sankt George
and the Asperion, were the next of the
foreign vessels to greet the president.
Then came the Argentine cruiser Sar-
miente. At the end of the foreign line
were grouped several American cruisers
and still further along were the Brook
lyn and the Texas, the Miantonomah and
the CanonicuS, all of which will serve
as station ships during the exposition
Turning down the long line of heavy
American battleships President Roose-
welt was again greeted with a deafen-
ing roar of cannon fire the column of
smoke being so dense at times as to
almost obscure the Mayfower. The In
diana was the first of the battleships to
salute and far away down the line the
last of the cannonading came from the
cult of the ships the Mayf1ower turned
again toward Norfolk and steaming this
time between the battleships and for
eign vessels, came to her anchorage
within the group of f1agships.
Immediately upon anchoring the pres
ident received on board his yacht the
flag officers of the Atlantic fleet The
foreign flag and commanding officers
were received on board from $3.50 to 10
O'Clock and they and the flag officers of
the Atlantic fleet then proceeded to
the landing at the exposition grounds.
The president in small launch which
danced and bobbed over the waves, fol-
lowed them in a few minutes, his boat
being guarded off either bow by two
launches especially assigned for the
honor and service by Admiral Evans.
Tonight the fleets will be Illuminated
with thousands of incandescent bulbs.
The officers of the visiting ships, espec-
tally those of the German cruisers Room
and Bremen, which have been here for
several days. were frank today in ex-

reference to his visit to the foreign
warships and the American navy was
turned in an impromptu manner upon
the recent gathering in New York to
discuss world policies and he held UP
peace and Righteousness as virtues and
blessings which go hand in hand. He
said that if the time ever comes when
the world must choose between them,
shame TO it if it chooses peace"
The thought for this expression was
accredited to the Bible, which the
president said contained a good deal
CT sound reading that would not be out
of place in a peace conference. This
sentiment was cheered to the echo and
the president then took up his pre-
pared address,

President of the Exposition Presents
President of United States.

| President of United States.
! Norfolk. Va. April 26.-In introducing
the president of the United States Pres
ident Tucker at the jamestown exnosi-
| ton opening said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 stand be-
fore you today a living monument to
the self control of the president of the
United States. Had he possessed less
of this virtue than he does 1 should
long since have been numbered with
those whose history is finally written:
For, in season and-out of season by day
and by night, and7at all hours beginnins
, With May andf ending with the close of
April have I, without conscience bonn
barded him with requests, invited his
aid and sought his counsel in the in
terest of the jamestown exposition un-
I'll l doubt not that in the quiet hours
or his seclusion Of he has any, he has
OFTEN asked himself the question, wheth-
er life was really worth living Had he
slain me in the exercise of the law of
self defense, even without the interposi-
ton of the plea of, dementia Americana
he would quickly have been acquitted
by any jury on the ground of justifable
homicide.
When the history of the exposition
is written there will be many whose
friends will claim that each of them
has done more than any one else for
ITS development and these conflicting
claims may have to be referred to the
jury of awards for final determination
The names of Fitzhugh Lee Daniel
and Maynard: of Johnston. Myers and
Cottrel, of Wool. Ellison and Shep-
herd: of Sherwood, Southgate and
Martini; of Bachelor Harrington and
Grant will each find many advocates
and justly so for this high honor.
These men of valor by their patriotic
devotion to and defense of this work
have undoubtedly slain their thou
sands; but the president, our David.
unhelmeted and unarmed has slain
his tens of thousands, and so with
great pleasure, I will now satisfy your
waiting hearts by presenting to you
the one man in the United States who
mas greater opportunities than any
other for the advancing of this enter
prise, selah-and has never failed in
one-the best friend the jamestown
exposition has ever had the best
friend any enterprise has ever had,
the president of the United States"

Business fitful in character and re-

Supposed Firebug Captured.


The authorities of Medford have made
an arrest that they consider very import
ant and which they believe will solve the
origin of the many fires that have oc
Cured in that town the past winter.
On Saturday evening about 1920 there
was another alarm of fire, the sixth with
In short time. The firemen, who re-
sponded to the call, found the barn in the
rear of the residence of Edward Rogers,
on fire. Although good work was done
and the supply of water was plentiful it
was impossible to save the building which
was destroyed. Three horses persisted in
the flames. Across small lane from the
barn was the cranberry house of Edmund
Braddock. The flames communicated
with this and the building was saved only
by the strenuous efforts of the fremen.
The roof and some of the boards on the
house were burned.
For some time a private detective has
been watching young man who was
suspected of knowing a great deal about
the fires. On Saturday evening this
young man managed to give the watcher
the slip for about five minutes and it is
supposed that was when he fred the
building.
So strong was the suspicion that this
man, Edward Worrell, was implicated in
the incendiarism that constable Peak ar
rested him and kept him locked up all
Sunday night. Peak stayed with his pris-
oner and yesterday morning reported that
the man had confessed. When cues
toned as to his motive he said he had no
feeling against any of the owners of the
property destroyed, but had desire to see
the flames and to enjoy watching the fire.
men run to the fire and work after they
got there. He said he thought it great
fun and when the flames died out he
would feel disappointed and have desire
to repeat the operation. He admitted that
1t was wrong, and called attention to the
fact that he never fired a dwelling, and
expressed sorrow at the death of the
horses.
There are many who are of the opinion
that Worrell is insane, but there are others
who think he is merely following the die
tates of depraved nature. They recall
other things that he has done, such as
taking large porch vases and deliberately
breaking them, entering a celery patch
and cutting the tops of the plants, going
into gardens and breaking flowers and let
ting them hang to the stems and other acts
of similar nature.
The people feel glad that the matter has
been apparently solved as there has been
a feeling of uneasiness over the situation
which was not altogether comfortable.
