B0ND MYSTERY
CONFESSIONS
ARE RUMORED
Third Person Said to Be
Implicated by
Douglass.

NEW YORK, April 26-DeveIopments
came rapidly today in the bond mys-
terry case OF the Trust Company Of
America. President Thone. of the
trust company, gave District Attorney
jerome a paper which he said was a
complete confession made by William
o. Douglass, the 6efaulting clerk. last
Sunday. Mr.. Thorne then said that as
far as the trust company was concerned
hs was through with the case, having
recovered practically all the missing
bonds.
Douglass and Oliver NJ. bennett, the
broker arrested with him, were i'm
mediateIy summoned from the Tombs
by jerome They were locked in sep
arate rooms, and the district attorney
examined them alternately for forty-five
minutes. Then he ordered an official
stenographer to record an interview be
tween him and bennett, which was re-
ported to be the second confession.
Jerome, when asked whether bennett
had confessed replied. Il am not at
liberty 20 say, but both men want a
square deal
President Th0rne said thsr Douglass
confession implicated a third person,
and that he presumed Jerome was en-
deavoTing to bring about another ar
rest.

Formal replies TO the Presidents stric-
lures have been made by a number of
ilaoor organizations. but the latest as

statement Of the executive committee
of the New York Meyer Haywood pro-
test conference.
The reply OF President Roosevelt" ."
declares this statement, SIS a direct IL
suit 10 every man who has interested
himself in the defense of Meyer and
Haywood. 1t is an insult and d wrong
which VIII never be forgotten by intel
ligent men. There is nothing extrava-
CANT in the prediction that it marks the
beginning OF the end of that misplaced
confidence which has heretofore been re-
posed in him by large numbers Of work
insmen. Nothing else that he has done
has so clearly revealed the spirit. the
character, and the merely rudimentary
sense Of justice Of the man Theodore
Roosevelt

THE PRESIDENTS ARRIVAL.

President and Mrs. Roosevelt
reached the Government dock at
11:1O a. m, Just twenty-five minutes
behind schedule time, and were well
coined on the pier by President St.
George Tucker, of the Exposition
Company, and several members of
the managing board.
"Old Virginia welcomes you," eX-
claimed Mr.. Tucker as he grasped
the Executives hand.
It's a great pleasure to be here, "
replied the President, warmly, as he
shook hands all around.
1T is a regular Roosevelt day, Mr..
President" said one Of the gentle
men on the pier.
Yes" laughed the President,
"and I hope it viii mean a good
omen for the exposition" q"
Attendance Less Than 10000.
The attendance at the opening of
the exposition was woefully small,
owing principally to the fact that
the transportation companies were
utterly unable TO handle the crowds.
Early in the morning there was a
congestion on the two electric roads
that connect Norfolk with Sewell's
Point. and the exposition. and by
the time President Roosevelt began
10 speak on the reviewing stand no
more than 10000 persons had been
able to reach the grounds.
Late arrivals who put in an ap-
pearance shortly after noon re-
ported that they had been more
than two hours on the way. The
trip consumes ffty-two minutes
under ordinary conditions. The
crippled condition of the transporta-
tion facilities was further shown by
the fact that steamers bearing ex-
curionists for the exposition were
unable to land at the single pier
thus far available.
One of the steamers thus held up
was the boat placed at the disposal
of the visiting newspapermen by the
exposition management. Although
this steamer was scheduled to reach
the exposition docks at 1920, it had
not put in an appearance when the
exercises began.
When the sun rose, the people of
the surrounding country zyere in

When the ambulance arrived. Mrs

about the face. chest and arms. but it
was not thought that the burns were Of
such a nature as 10 render her uncon-

entered Hampton Roads, the United
States and foreign warships fired
their salutes.
When the President touched the

stand that set the wheels of the big

Pathetic Unpreparedness.
Up to the hour of the Presidents
arrival on the grounds large force
of worImen was busily engaged in
cleaning up the debris about the
pier and the roads over which he
would have to travel to reach the
grandstand In spite Of their ut
most efforts. however, the view
about the landing was not inspiring.
Huge piles Of timbers and gravel
were upon either side Of the Presi-
dents path, and the walk itself was
little better than a country road.
Very few OF the exhibit buildings
are anywhere near completion, and
most of those that are done on the
outside are mere empty shells. In
the great machinery building only
four out Of the hundreds of individ-
ual exhibits that are to fill it have
been installed
The pathetic unPreparedness of
the whole show is accounted for by
the fact that during the last few

APPOINTMENT
Of VIM. LOEB
CAUSES STIR
Business Men Look for
Great Improvement
Under His Re-
gilne.

The exclusive announcement in The
Times yesterday OF the practical GER
tainty that William Loeb. Secretary to
tie President. win on January become
president OF the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. caused a autter
in both political circles and business
quarters.
In political circles, because IL was
widely accepted as the most striking
evidence yet presented that the Presi-
dent expects To retire from Office March
4. 1863. In business circles, because il
indicates a new era in the development
of the public service establishment of
Washington. with Washington men al
last in control of the big Washington
Electric.
Mr LOeb's relations vita the Rresi-
dent have been peculiarly confidential
and significant, even for q secretary. 1t
is we'll known that he is one Of the
most trusted and oft-consulted advisers
on political and state matters, and that
his judgment is very highly regarded
by his chief Moreover. he has been
entrusted with a great part in the most
delicate work Of communicating 10 the
press and public the Presidents views
on political matters.

Excellent Gpportunity.

Ii is considered absolutely certain that
the President would not have consented
to lose Mr.. Loeb. right on the verge Of
a season Of tremendous political devel-
opments such as will mark the Presi-
Dental year 1905, unless he had fully
realized that II was due 10 his seCre-
tary to make new business arrange
ments while he had the opportunity
II can be said that the question Of
succession has not been given any con-
sideration as yet by the President Tn
I'll within a very short time, indeed,
there has been nothing like assurance
that the Washington railway deal
would go through; and anyhow. Mr.
Loeb will remain with his chief FOR the
remainde. of the present year. which
gives ample time for making a seleC-
ton The belief is that he Will go out
side his present corps of assistants, but
even this is not regarded as at all Ger
tain as the President has about him
some bright Young men who would be
amply equal 90 the position.
So far as concerns the Washington
business view of the new deal in Wash
ingtOn Railway and Electric there is
a strong impression that even larger
things may be impending It is inti-
mated that the inevitable outcome in
Washington must be. sooner or later.
