MEMPHIS GIVES A WELCOME.
MAGNIFICENT OVATION TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Who Arrived Yesterday at the Tennessee Metropolis Attend the "Lake
to the Gulf Convention City Alive With Enthusiasm
at His Coming

MEMPHIS, TENN, October A
Especial )-One hundred thousand
citizens of Memphis and vicinity to-
day welcomed President Roosevelt to
the Deep Waterways Convention. The
enthusiasm of the greeting was wor-
thy of the great South and the Presi-
dent of the republic. President Roose-
velt was profoundly impressed with
the magnitude of the demonstration.
He said as much in words and more
in actions, for he made no effort to
conceal his pleasure. From the time
the steamboat Mississippi bearing the
distinguished guest came into sight
of the city until the President had
concluded his address before the wa
terways convention he received
continual ovation His route to and
from the Auditorium was through an
ocean of human faces and the vast
throng stretched out in the side
streets as far as the eye could see.
The landing was at the end of Union
avenue, from which point the process
sion made it's way through Jefferson
avenue, Main street, Beale avenue
and other leading tkrougEfares to the
Auditorium.

At last Brannom avenue is to be
graded and granite curbed The city
council has ordered the improvement
made and the work of grading that
thickly populated residence thorough
fare is to be started at once. For
a long while Brannon avenue has
presented a decidedly neglected .ap-
pearance in comparison with other
streets, graded, granite-curbed ard
with pavements laid in tiling, but at
last the march of improvement has
been extended there and Brannon
will be beautified to a great extent.
Many pretty homes fill this street and
property-owners will, no doubt, be
glad of the work to be done there

twenty-five Governors There.

The roll call showed the atten-
dance of the governors of twenty-five
States and it is possible that seeyral
more will put in an appearance be-
fore the close of the convention.
1t is expected that all of these will
be called upon to address the ses-
sions. Among the number, in addi-
ton to those already mentioned, are
Governor Joe l. Crawford of South
Dakota, Henry A Buchtel of Colora-
do, Newton c. Blanchard of louisiana
Edward w. Hoch of Kansas, Bryant
B. Brooks of Wyoming, George E.

include prominent representatives of
business mems organizations and
river improvement associations in all
parts of the Mississippi valley

Crowds Line the Streets.

All idea of confning the delighted
people to the curbstones was aban-
dOned before the Presidential party
landed and as it proceeded through
the streets in vehicles the acclaiming
multitude touched the very wheels of
the carriages and good-naturedly ell
bowed for room in which to raise
and wave flags and other emblems of
a national nature. The picturesque
ness of the scene was enhanced by
the thousands of flags, banners, and
other decorative designs which lined
the route of travel.
Arriving at the Auditorium the Pres
ident found awaiting him there an
assemblage the like of which has
seldom been seen before in this part
of the country.
In every sense of the word the ga
thering was truly representative of
all of those States that are directly
or indirectly interested in the pro-
ject of deep waterway from the
great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Included among those present were
the governors of a score of common
wealths, almost sufficient number
of members of Congress to constitute
quorum, and hundreds of bankers,
manufacturers, transportation Off
cials and other representatives of
the business interests of the middle
West and South.
The great Auditorium, spacious
though it is, was taxed to accommo-
date the crowd that sought admit
tance
Praise of the Valley.
In his speech before the convention
President Roosevelt dwelt at length
upon the inestimable value of the
Mississippi river as an artery of COM
merce, surprising that of any hemi-
sphere The wealth of Europe, he
said, cannot compare with that of the
valley through which courses the
Father of Waters" and he expressed

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS {: Do You Fear Consumption

When we take into consideration the fact that one out of every seven in this iclimate dies of consumption is it any wonder that it is feared by the people of New Haven who have weak lungs and chronic colds and coughs?' said our local druggist, William H. Hull.
 Physicians everywhere have recog- nized the value of cod liver oil for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption and all wasting diseases, but, unfortu- .nately, few could take it and derive any benefit from it's use on account of the indigestible oil which it contained.
 We want every person in New Ha- ven to know that Vinol actually con- tains, in a concentrated form, all of the body building, strength-creating ele- ments of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' flyers, without a drop of oil to upset the stomach and retard it's worw, and tonic iron added. Therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good, Vinol will do far more good We guar antee Vinol will improve the apetite, strengthen digestion, make rich, red blood, create strength, cure chronic coughs and colds, and strengthen weak lungs"
 If Vinol fails to give satisfaction to our customers we return money with out question. Hulps Corner Drug Store.

FIREMEN SUFFER-.

East Derby Conflagration in Zero
 Weather.
 Derby, Jan 24.-With the thermome- ter below zero, the firemen were called to East Derby this morning to fight a fire which threatened to prove a serious one.
 . By hard work, made more difficult by the fact that water froze as fast as it was turned on the fire, the firemen suc- ceeded in confning the fire to the build- ing in which it started, a two-story frame structure on New Haven avenue owned by A. H. Yudkin.
 The building was gutted and the gro- cery store kept by MT. Yudkin and the dry goods store of I. Cohn adjoining were burned out together with three tenements overhead, occupied, respec- lively, by MT. Yudkin, Mir. Cohn and Mrs. Take.
 The tenants escaped, saving nothing but the clothes they wore Five fire- men had their feet and hands frozen and one was slightly injured by slip ping cn the ice. The loss was $5,O0O; partially insured. The cause is not de- termined.

 The smash-up was one of the worst rear-end collisions that has occurred in the local service for some time
 Lansing was in charge of an extra car of the smaller type, and was fol- lowing double-truck Shelton avenue car out Dixwell avnue At the corner of Lake place they came together with a crash that sounded like an explo- sion. The front platform of Lansing s car was completely wrecked, and he was knocked senseless by being thrown against the doot.

 Not since February 5, 1SS6 has the official weather bureau thermometer registered such a low point as it did at o'clock yesterday, the mercury at that hour showed seven degrees be- low zero. From about 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon it grew steadily colder until daylight Thursday morn ing. The severe weather has affected train service, and on all lines the trains of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford railroad were anywhere from a few minutes to an hour late in arriv- ing here.
 In Norfolk, Barkhamsted and Hart land in the western part of the state there was a record breaking drop in the mercury, the thermometers there showing twenty-four degrees below zero well after sunrise. This is the low est point reached in years in this sec tion of the state, In Winsted, another cold spot, it was 21 degrees below zero al I o'clock
 In Woodbury it was 12 below at ' D. m. Wednesday, and in Litchf1eld from 12 to 19 below.

Board of Finance Will Meet Assessor

Board of Finance Will Meet Assessors
 and Tax Collector Tonight.
 The board of finance held the regular weekly meeting last night and trans acted the regular business. The board will hold another meeting tonight, at which the assessors, tax collector and the corporation counsel will be present.
 The matter of changing the time for the payment of city taxes from April 1 to January 1 will be considered. It is also possible that the taxes may be paid in semi-annual installments here after, the first bill being payable the first of January, and the second on the first of July.
 The city authorities want the earlier date so as to get the money for city expenses on hand, and thus do away with the necessity of borrowing. The installment plan, it is thought, will be a great advantage to the poorer prop erty owners, who often find it difficult to raise the full amount of their taxes at one time.

NEW R. R. STATION IN NEW YORK
 According to the New York Herald the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company is planning to abandon the use of the Grand Central station terminal in New York city and to acquire a station of it's own by us- ing a site it now owns in Second ave- nue. which would be reached by tun- nel from Mott Haven yards. This would cement the connection with the Pennsylvania railroad for direct route through New York from New England points.
