OVATION GIVEN TAFT
BY SAN FRANCISCANS
ON HIS ARRIVAL HERE

Primarily President Taft was the
center OF interest of the parade yes
terday which began Immediately upon
his arrival at the transport dock at
o'clock and continued with two in
terruptions until the St. Francis hotel
was reached at 4:30 o'clock in the aft
ernoon. But in another sense, or from
the point of view of the presidents
carriage. the wonderful throngs along
the sidewalks, in the second story win
dows, the third story windows, the
fourth story windows, the fourteenth
story. windows of the office buildings
along the line were far more amazing
than was the parade of an honest
dozen carriages, in the foremost of
which rode the chief executive of the
United States of America.
President Taft is the fifth president
TO come to San Francisco, and while
his stay was shorter than that of any
other, still he probably saw more peo-
pie. His ovation was as warm, as
spontaneous. as bospitable as ever was
ovation before. Presidents Hayes and
Harrison were honored here: Presi-
dent Mckinley was greeted with tre-
mendous enthusiasm, while about his
stay fingered a memory of his devo-
tion TO his invalid wife which sadly
prolonged his visit within the gates of
the city; President Theodore Roose-
Welt ever was the hero to the west-a
peculiar position which Taft can never
occupy, but none of the others drew
more people to sidewalk and housetop
than did Taft yesterday.
GOOD POLICE ARRANGEMENT

that he had been given to understand
by Mayor Hodghead that he was to
say only a word, and then the idea
that he had exceeded his own time limit
on a trip where speeches have admit

with loud chuckle, and so infectious
was his good humor that his entire
