THE MISSISSIPPI HAS 15,0OO VISITORS Accommodated 5000 People
 Ali 0nCO WAS GREAT RECEPTION 6ashful Young Tars Lead Visiting Girls Into an Impromptu Dance on Deck, Which Is Greatly En-
 loved.
WAS GREAT RECEPTION

New Orleans, May 9,-It was demon- strated today that the big battleship Mississippi can accommodate 5000 visi- tors at once and not be overcrowded. The Jackie who stood at the gangplank all today with an automatic recording machine in his hand. registering every soul who came on board, swears that there were that many on board at once several times during the day. When night fell and there came a lull in the huge stream of gaily dressed and smil- ingly perspiring people, the register had clicked over 15,000 times.
 It was a patriotic and happy throng, too. Every man, woman and child in 1t seemed to feel, not only pride in the great machine of death and de- struction, but a sense of part owner ship in the craft as we'll All the gun decks and even the turrets were open to the callers, the only parts of the ship not availab to visitors being the state rooms and quarters below. Because of the narrow hatchways and the danger to land lubbers in trying to negotiate the descent, these were kept clear by polite sentries.
 On the forward gun deck the athletic jackies indulged in wrestling matches and impromptu boxing bouts to the great delight of the visitors who were eager to reward the agile white clad lads. After the athletic entertainment, a sailor orchestra struck up dance music. A bashful fair haired tar ap- preached a pretty girl with A silent invitation She hesitated moment. then stepped out and was swung off in his arms in a waltz. Others took heart and other girls followed the example of the first young maid, so that in a mo- ment the deck was a whirl with danc- ing couples, each sailor boy carrying his cap at his partners waist.
 The men-and there were many of them-were interested principally in the engines and the hugh guns. Accom- modating gunners and pointers stood at the mechanism of each gun and patient ly, hour after hour, explained how the big fellows could hurl masses of steel and dynamite for 15 miles.
 When supper time came, the feminine portion of the throng crowded around the cook galleys and watched the delft young men prepare the evening meal. Finally when the sun was setting and the splendid ship band had played the Star Spangled Banner" at least three times and positively. but politely de- clined to do so again, the last of the visitors respectfully stepped ashore.

JAMES K. HACKETT
 IN BANKRUPTCY

New York. May 9-(Special)-James K Hackett, through his attorney, filed voluntary petition in bankruptcy yes- terday. Haekett says that he owes $12b. 457, and that he has only $S9S with which to pay these debts. He says that his heaviest creditor is Mary Mannering Hackett and that she claims she has loaned him $6O, o0O but he does not think it is as much as that
 Hackett had always expressed with great frankness the opinion that Mary Mannerings success was due in her earlier years to the fact that she was his leading woman. and later that she was under his management, and was known to be his wife. Since they quarreled MISS Mannering has been very successful. Hackett has been unsuccessful. His latest effort to regain his lost money and pres- tige has been a revival of his old plays
 If the application passes the courts Mr Hackett cannot be forced to pay his wife either alimony or the money he says she claims he owes her.
 Mir Hackett, when asked about his failure Saturday, said:
 This action was inevitable. It was the only means of protecting my creditors without preference. I hope ultimately to pay my just debts, dollar for dollar
