JOURNEY OF 3,4ss MILES
IN n DAYS
ON ROAD THREE MONTHS
$1,000 Curious New Workers Cheer
Mayor Gaynor Welcomes Him
and Presents a Purse Of
$500.

New York, N. Y. - Edward Payson
Weston brought to triumphant end
his ocean to ocean walk. Cheered by
thousands Of enthusiastic New York
ers he assembled the steps Of the city
hall at $40 p. M, completing the
transcontinental journey Of 3,4S3 miles
in n walking days, starting Feb. 1, a
feat without parallel in the annals Of
pedestrianism. "..
The grizzled athlete was welcomed
to his home city by Mayor Gaynor,
who presented him a purse Of $500
hurriedly raised by handful Of his
admirers in the last hours of his
spectacular walk.
From Yonkers, where he had spent
Sunday, to the upper residential Sec
ton of Manhattan, which he reached
at time when most Of the popula-
ton had departed for the day of work,
his progress was pathetically unspecta-
cular. Here and there small groups
paused to observe him curiously and
women and children waved encourage.
ment as he passed.
At One Hundred and Sixty-eighth
street opposite the American league
baseball park, Weston received the
first concerted cheer Of the morning
and his eyes sparkled with apprecia-
ton. Even here, however, his escort
was less than a hundred. But it grew
to twice that number by the time One
Hundred and Twenty-nrth street was
reached and when the stop for lunch
con was made at the Ansonia hotel
at Seventy-third street, some 500 had
assembled to watch the doughty old
walker go by.
When the journey was resumed at
l o'clock the crowd had grown to near
ly 5000 and the police were powerless
to clear way. A call for reserves
was sent and with their arrival some
semblance Of order was established.
When Forty-second street was
reached the escort of police, though
twice doubled on the way, had again
become inadequate, for $1,000 persons
crowded into Times Square to cheer
the walker on. Thence to the city
hall it was continuous line of cheer.
ing spectators.
Weston Thanks Mayor.
AS he finally turned into City Hail
park, black with thousands, Weston
was visibly moved and it was with
difficulty that he found voice to thank
the mayor for his words of greeting.
Il wanted to show to the young
sters what an old athlete of ~ years
could do" he said. Then, from the
steps of the city hall, he thanked the
crowd for Its welcome and expressed
himself we'll repaid by their cheers
Tor all his exertions.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. S.-Secretary
of the Interior r. A. Ballinger, before
! 600 members of the Commercial and
Acctic clubs, last night again voiced
his determination to continue in Of
flee and to disregard all public clamor
for his retirement. In declaring his
attitude on conservation, the secre-
tary made it clear that he was fol-
lowing the policies of the president
of the United States, and his man.
ner of enunciating the word 'presi-
dent" left no room to doubt his an
tipathy to any policies of an expires
ident.
He said that the one great requi-
site of the honest, patriotic American
today was the courage of his convic-
tions, the courage to Withstand the
fanaticism and undertaking of the
dishonest leaders of the irrespon-
sible mob. 1t was a time when
America had greatest need of sanity
to combat the "isms" that were
abroad in the land. He advocated a
strict following of the law and the
constitution for the perpetuation of
the government.
Judge Hanford, of the United
States court, presided at the meet
ing, and his opening address was a
fervid defense of Secretary Ballinger,
with some contemptou remarks for
the members of the Pinchot-Balling-
er investigating committee.
Speaking in connection with the
action of the members of the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigating COM
mittee at Minneapolis yesterday,
when a resolution censuring the sec
retary of the interior was brought
up, Ballinger said:
with my consciousness of recti-
tude in every act, public and private,
and with my determination to go for
ward in the same path, I do not fear
the criticism of any man or set of
men,
1T has been said that the criti-
cism of me, whether true or untrue,
has made me urfit to hold Office. If
this is the case, then every public

critic and the fanatic. There is not

cations brought against me-"
