 So it went all the way up to Twen- ty-third street, where the parade turned and made it's way back to the Battery. At that historic spot at the lower end of Manhattan island Col onel Roosevelt landed to receive the formal welcome home.
 Welcomed by Mayor Gaynor.
 In an enclosure in the center of Bat tery park were 200 distinguished guests, including senators, represent atives, ambassadors and close per sonal~ friends of MT. Roosevelt. Sur rounding this enclosure was another reserved space which was occupied by about 2,500 prominent men and mem bers of the big reception committee.
 The cheering and music were al most continuous as the colonel en- tered the park, but finally quiet was restored and Mayor Gaynor stepped forward and delivered cordial ad- dress of welcome on behalf of the na- tion and the city. MT. Roosevelt re- sponded briefly but feelingly, and short speeches were made by several other prominent men. Much as he would have liked to be present to greet his predecessor, President Taft was kept away on account of his off cial position and by previous en- gagement.

PLEAD FOR THE LIFE OF HARRY
 POE, CONDEMNED NEGRO.
Party Calls on Governor Donaghey in Interest of the Negro-Mrs, Wood
 cock Declares He Is Innocent.

With the certification of the man date in the case of Harry Poe to the governor, the life or death of the young negro lies ill the hands of the chief executive.
 A party of half dczen or more sailed On Governor Donaghey in the interest of the condemned man and asserted positively that he is not guilty of the crime of which he has been convicted, that of criminal as sault Among those who called at the governors office were Mrs. Woodcock and her daughter, Miss Dora Velvin, of Hot Springs. They were accompanied by R. E. l.. MaXey, counsel for Poe, and vino recently made an effort to get a rehearing in Poe's case on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
 Mrs. Woodcock said: q went 70 the Poe place to see what had de- layed my laundry, and found Harry tiere helping his mother. I gave him a sharp reprimand about not get ting the clothes returned according to the time promised. This was on the day of the alleged crime, and l am as certain as I can be of any thing that Harry Poe is not the negro who committed the crime for which he is condemned TO be hanged, and I am making this statement merely as a matter of simple jus tice' Her daughter Miss Velvin, made practically the same statement, as did also two negroes named Mitch ell, who appeared before the governor in behalf of Poe.
 Governor Donaghey has taken the petition for elemency under advise ment, and will probably not pass on the matter one way or another for several days, or until he has had time to go over the case thoroughly.

KNOX MAKES REPLY TO MADRIz.
Places Blame for Any Violation of
 Neutrality Upon Nicaragua.

Washington, D. C-President Mad rig has drawn from this government a sharp reply to the protest he made to President Taft, claiming that the United States had prolonged the war in Nicaragua because it refused to allow the bombardment of Bluefields Or to allow the Venus to maintain blockade there. Consul Olivares at Managua has been furnished with a statement which the consul has been directed to hand to Madriz. It terse- ly observes that if any violation of neutrality has occurred it was when the Venus sailed from New Orleans as an expedition of the Madriz fac tion. Madriz protested not to the United States alone, but to all the South American republics. The statements which he set forth in his te."grams were construed by the staoe department as nothing less than an effort to place in a false light the so.icy which the United States has adopted in dealing with the Nlca- raSuan affairs.
