Provincetown, Mass, Aug. 90
Through a lane Of mighty battle ships,
the thunders of whose salutes rang
out over the bay for miles, the govern
ment yacht Mayflower entered Prov
incetown harbor this morning, bring
ing President Roosevelt to the spot
where the Pilgrims first stepped on
the soil of the new world and in
whose memory beautiful monument
had its inception in the laying of the
corner stone today.
The corner stone exercises were
in charge of the Massachusetts grand
commandery of the Masons, and the
ritual conducted by ]. Henry Blake.
The speech of the president was de
livered from stand erected on the
side of the hill, and he paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of the Pilgrim
Fathers and their Massachusetts de.
scendants. James Bryce, the British
ambassador, offered the congratulatioD
of the mother country. Other speak
ers included Governor Guild, Senator
Lodge and the officers of tie town
and the monument association. Fol
lowing the completion of the exercises,
Provincetown entertained its dis
tinguished guests with a luncl Oh in
the town hall and parade thr 1usl lis
only important street.
The speech Of President Roosevelt
was full OF vim and very strong Oh
two points. In the first place he de
nounced railroad financiers and other
throw the country into a panic. He
declared stronger than ever for rail
road legislation and said the railroads
should be subject to government con
troll the same as national banks. Any
one expecting the president to be in
conciliatory mood were disappointed
His remarks were applauded by all
present.
The president also paid his respects
to Haywood, although he did not men
tion his name or the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, but there could be no
mistaking his meaning when he said
THAT because a man was not con
victed did not make him any the less
an undesirable citizen"
The monument, when completed will
be one of the most beautiful Of the
many historic memorials in the vicin
ity of Boston. Its purpose is TO mark
the place where the Pilgrims finished
their long voyage. where they dew up
their historic pact in the cabin oi
the ancient Mayhower, and where
few OF them first landed on American
soil. 1t is a happy coincidence that
President Roosevelt should land this
morning from another Mayflower, al
though there is little resemblance be
tween the modern yacht and the anti
quated craft of the Pilgrims.
The Provincetown memorial is the
outcome of long, but friendly, con
troversy between Provincetowa and
Plymouth over which place had the
prior claim to the Pilgrim Fathers.
Its erection will be largely due to the
enterprise of the Cape Cod Monument
association, an organization headed by
Captain j. Henry Sears, Of Brewster,
who has raised for the purpose $4,000
through public and private subscrip-
ton. on this sum, the federal gov
efnment contributed 100000, the state
$4,000. and the town $1,000 of the
amount. The memorial is located on
the top OF Town hill, the highest
land in the town, from which 1t will
rise to height OF $50 feet. Granite
will be solely used In its construction
and the great shaft will serve as a
heacon nv day tn incoming mariners
