New York. June IS - Theodore
Roosevelt is home. His reception this
morning exceeded in enthusiasm any
ever given TO a private individual in
this country. or elsewhere for all OF
that That the ex-president appreciate
ed the honors bestowed upon him was
plainly evident from his vigorous mods
to right and left. accompanied by his
usual smiles.
Despite the early hour thousands OF
slghtseers-me women and children
were at the Battery by o'clock this
morning. The reason was twofo'd.
They wanted to see the departure OF
the hotilla of steamers as IT started
down the bay for quarantine, ond they
had hopes they would beat the police
to positions of vantage around the
stand Of welcome. The latter was a
vain quest. for hundreds Of bluecOats
surrounded the platforms and ada
cent space reserved for the reception
committee.
II was hurried embarkation OF the
welcomers not only at the Battery.

rendezvous was set for the Narrows'
connecting the upper and lower bays
for $3.50 a. m. The sun was fast dis
pelling the morning mist and the light
glinted on gaily decorated craft of
every description. Flags, bunting
Teddy bears. G. o. p. elephants and
welcome signs were seen everywhere.
Greeted In the Bay.
The time of transferral OF the Roose
yelt party had been tentatively fixed
for 9 O'Clock. and 1t was about half
an hour before that the huge Kaiserln
Auguste Victoria was seen threading
her way up the Ambrose channel. tho
decks filed with passengers. who
waved greetings to the hundreds OF
smaller craft that surrounded her.
As the steamer passed the din OF
welcome began. The guns of Fort
Wadsworth on the Staten Island side
of the Narrows doomed their greeting,
and the artillery OF Fort Hamilton on
Long Island echoed noisily. Every
whistle of the fotilla shrieked In rival
ry as the steamer dropped anchor of
quarantine.
The din was at its height when the
Roosevelt party was espied on the up
per forward deck. the colonel boyish-
ly waving his hat to Collector William
Loeb and other friends on the revenue
cutter Androscoggin.
BY his side were Mrs. Roosevelt,
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Miss Ethel
and Kermit Roosevelt and Secretary
Of the Navy Meyer, who met the
steamer at Sandy Hook last night.
The Androscoggin headed the pro
cession. and Colonel Roosevelt held an
improvised leyee forward. There were
Few of the committeeman whose
names he could not RECALL without

foes, but all this was laid aside for a

People Pack Water Front.

The water front on both sides of tho
Hudson was black with people. spe
cial grand stands being erected or
many of the piers. and exorbitant
uprices were charged for seats.
II was about IL O'Clock when Colo
mel Roosevelt and the reception com
mittee disembarked at the Battery
where Mayor Gaynor awaited them
Every available foot Of ground not
guarded with physical force by the po-
lice was occupied, and II was with DIFF
fculty that Broadway was kept clear
for the land parade.
The dcbarkation was the signal for
the start of a hOarse roar from the
crowd, which was but temporarily
checked by the presidential salute OF
twenty-one guns from the North Caro-
lima. The arrangements at the Battery
were so perfect that Colonel Roosevelt
was landed without inconvenience and
made his way on a raised walk from
the pier TO the platform facing Battery
park in comparative comfort. The
windows and roofs OF the surrounding
skyscrapers reflected the masses OF
people on the iudson's shores. and no
point Of vantage was too dangerous to
lack an occupant.
According 10 the committees pro
gram. the ceremonies OF welcome were
brief. The advance OF Mr. Roosevelt
to the front of the platform was the
signal for a marvellous demonstration,
during which time he renewed his &C.
uuaintance with Mayor Gaynor and
others and then waited for the tumult
to subside. The noise would die away
and then the colonel. catching sight OF
some child in the crowd who was wav-
ing a handkerchief, would smile broad
ly and wave his hand, and the noise
began again.
Finally, in despair. the ceremonies
began. Mayor Gaynor simply telling
Mr.. Roosev'l Il of the Joy be felt as a
New Yorker OF welcoming home ma
tive of the city who. in addition t
reaping the highest honors his own
country could bestow. had likewise e..
cited the admiration OF the capltais
and rulers of Europe and downed the
savage animals in Africa in their lairs
The mayors remarks were inaudi
BILE to those within the charmed ropec
circle in front OF the stand and to the
committeeman and others on the re
served section of the stand. The PEG
pie seemed content with looking at the
ex-president and occasionally cheering
without other incentive.
Hence the same conditions prevailed
when Colonel Roosevelt made hit
brief reply. He thanked the committee
and through 1t New York and the
states generally which had rendered
him the welcome, which he felt more
deeply than any honor yet rendered
him.

Business growth tells briefly our
reason for moving from GOA Pa.Ave.
to 636 Pa. Ave. Our new home is
nearly twice the size of the old. We
have equipped it with every modern
convenience known to an up-to-date
liquor business, and we believe we
have the finest establishment of the
kind in the National Capitol. We
laid our plans very carefully in con-
structing our new building, and have
spared nothing that would promote
comfort or convenience. Incur new
quarters we will be better able than
ever to handle local business and will
be particularly well equipped to look
after our mail order business, which
is increasing every day, and has
made this the leading mail order
house of Washington, Wea attribute
our phenomenal business growth as
a tribute to the merits of the goods
we sell.

Control Water Power Sites.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The sub.
committee of the senate committee on
public lands, of which Senator Dixon
is q member, today agreed upon the
water power site bill, the provisions
OF which are of interest to Montana.
Senator Dixon said in discussing the
bill:
"Jt was evident from the outset that
the problem was one of extreme diff.
Guilty on account of dual ownership,
the states owning the water and the
federal government the sites. In or.
der to guarantee against monopoly
of power sites, restrictions will be
placed in power site leases %forbidding
the state to sell or cucumber the sites,
but giving the state right to lease for
q term of years, with further restric-
tions that c in ten years the state
shall fix the price to be charged for

Former President Will Not Discuss
Political Matters.
ROME, April 5.-Colonel Roosevelt
again today was besieged by news.
papermen who sought to draw from
him an intimation of his attitude to-
wards the administration of President
TAFT. He was told of the reports cir.
culated In the United States that there
was q coldness between the president
and himself.
This did not disturb his equauimity
or lead him into any comment. It q
be said on excellent authority, how.
ever, that any report that Mr.. Roose.
velt proposes to repudiate his ucces.
sor To the presidency is "a baseless
fabrication"
Roosevelt was not in his hsppiest
mood today. His wish that the vatican
audience be regarded as personal to
him had not been respected, and he
was intensely annoyed. About the
fret thing the former president did
today was to call of the reception to
the members of the American colony,
which had been set for tomorrow
night. This action can be traced d.
rectly to the issuance yesterday of q
statement OF B: M. Triple, pastor of
the American Methodist church, in
which opportunity was taken for an
attack on the Roman church. Mr..
Roosevelt does not propose to be used
by anyone to the disparagement of
anyone else.

OF rural free delivery aud other ex.
penses. mot including pay to the

While the presentation made by the
railroads is undoubtedly due to the
activity Of the publishers of the mag.
aztnes and the big weeklies, the car
riers do not make any attack on them,
but they turn their guns on rural
free delivery. Deficit or no deficit,
the railroad companies and the eastern
publishers may as we'll understand
right now that rural free delivery has
come to stay, and not only that, but
the service will be increased as the de.

Railroads Win Suits.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Emphasiz-
ing the rights of railroads.. the su-
preme court of the United States has
declared unconstitutional the law of
Nebraska requiring railroads to build
switches to all grain elev ators along
their tracks upon request and called
a halt on the attempt of the state of
Arkansas to penalize an interstate
railroad for failure to supply cars to
accOmmod ate interstate traffic.
