RooSeveIt'S Welcome to
Be Very DiQnified

NEW YORK. May 19.-"Simple and
dignihed," is to be Theodore Roosevelt
welcome in New York June Is. At least
that is the desire of the reception COM
mittee. Contrary to general expecta-
tions, there will be no great land pa
rade. The Rough Riders are the chos-
en- few who will line up with Colonel
Roosevelts carriage. Aside from them
there will be only a squad of mounted
police. a police band and the reception
committee in carriages.
Tn committee thus explained the stu
alton tonight:
1T is believed the proceedings should
be simple and dignified in order to per-
NIT the largest number Of people to par
ticipate. In view OF the great number
OF requests from various organizations
and distinguished representatives
throughout the country to join. In a land
procession OF some kind the commit
tee has concluded IL would be imprac-
ticable TO accommodate them all, and
has therefore decided to eliminate that
portion OF the original program which
provided for a general land parade and
instead TO give such representatives po-
sitions along Fifth avenue from which
they will have ample opportunity to see
ex-President Roosevelt as he passes UP
the avenue accompanied by his escort.
The reception will be national in
character and entirely free from ques-
lions realizing to politics. creed or race
The naval part OF the program will
be carried out as arranged.

S32,O24.24 STOLEN
FROM PENNSYLVANIA
DEPOT THIS MORNING
While Station Agent Was
Loading Baggage, Three
Packages of Money Sudden
Iy Disappeared
MONEY WAS SHIPPED
BY ADAMS EXPRESS

OIL CITY, Pa, May 19.-Three pack
ages OF money containing $32,024.24
were stolen from Pennsylvania depot
here at $3.50 o'clock this morning, while
John J. TRULY, the station agent. was
loading baggage on TO a Buffalo train.
The money was being shipped by the
Adams Express company to Philadel-
phia.
The railroad detectives investigating
the robbery are of the opinion that the
theft was the work of one man. The
packages were too bulky for storage In
the small station safe and Night Agent
TRULY placed them under a sack behind
the ticket counter. covering them care
fully.
At $50 this morning a train pulled into
the station and TRULY stepped out on the
platform, closing the office door behind
him. The, door is self-locking. While
about 200 feet from the station office
TRULY saw by the light in the station
platform lamp that the Office door was
not closed. hurrying back. he discovered
that the three packages OF money were
missing.

.PREsBYTER|ANs MEET
IN GOTH ASSEMBLY
DR.. w. {. Boggs, of Atlanta,
Called Gathering to Order
and Made Address

LEWISBURG. W. Va% May 19.-In an
old stone church erected here in 1886 by
"a few believers in God" so the corner
stone reads, the Presbyterian Church in
the United States convened today in its
50th general assembly.
More than 200 commissioners were pres
ent when DR.. W. E. Boggs, of Atlanta,
Ca, the moderator for the last assem-
bly,, called the organization to order.
1t was historic gavel he welded. It
was made from walnut tree that grew
on the farm of DR.. John McEllpenney,
for So years pastor of the church, in
which the assembly was meeting. The
early hours of the service were consum-
ed by addresses of welcome and re-
sponses and the annual sermon by DR..
Boggs.
His subject was the Bible. First he
spoke of the source of the Bibles power;
he said il rested in its relation to God.
Next he emphasized the riches of the
Bible in its power to supply all the
needs of men.
He said it was not from the Greeks
with Apollos silver lutte and the rich
gifts of the nine muses., nor from the
Roman with thine all conquering spear,
and stabbing sword so often buried to
its hilt in the quivering bosoms of ma
tions who opposed them in defense OF
their altar and high stone, but from the
hated and despised Jew that we have
our noblest duty and our sweetest hopes
of the life beyond with God. Finally,
he replied to the newest infidelity and
spoke of Christ as the guardian and de-
fender Of the Bible.

HOKE SMITH SAYS HE
CANNOT CONSENT To
BECOME CANDIDATE
Former Governor Breaks Si-I
Ience in Reply to Thousands
of Georgians' Requests to-
Run Again This Year
REASONS FOR DECLINING
ARE OF PERSONAL NATUREl

Former Gov. Hoke Smith this at
ternoon gave out formal statement
in which he announces his position
In the pending gubernatorial race
This statement was inspired by this
fact that this afternoon friends and
supporters of the former governors
will meet to Insist that he make the
race. In justice to them, Governor
Smith felt 1t incumbent on himself to
make a statement. -
He had been prevented from doinG
this earlier because Of case in couro
which occupied his undivided atten@
ton until yesterday afternoon. Tha
following is his statement: II
HAS MANY REQUESTS
During the past two weeks
have received requests in various
forms urging me to enter the RAGS
for governor, and convincing me that
an extended movement has begun 70
cause my candidacy for that Office. 4
while 1 deply appreciate the pur@
pose of those engaged in this move
ment, as / cannot see my way at this
time to become a candidate, l wisn
to spare them useless trouble.
but for the conviction that cer-
tain legislation then in the pubro
mind was absolutely necessary to the
permanent welfare of the people of
the state, would not have entered
the first race. The second race WAS
precipitated before / had been in Of
fee nine months and 1 entered IL
from a sense of duty.
PRINCIPLES IN FORCE
Before the close of my two years
as governor the important measures
for which the contest of 1906 was
made had been accomplished, and
the principles embodied in them Will
remain the policy of the state.
eff my individual preferences
alone were involved would yield
them without hesitation, and comply
with any call made upon me by that
splendid body of men who stood
together so Loyalty in 1906 and again
In 1907 for the reforms in question:
and who went down with me In the
last election before forces OF oppo-
sition which l do not believe can
again be combined.
But there are other reasons of a
personal nature which prevent my
entering a heated political contest al
the present time.
READY TO HELP
while / cannot now consent I'd
enter the race for governor, wish ia
assure my friends and felIow-citizens
of the regret 1t causes me not to com-
ply with their wishes, and OF my
readiness out of office to serve them
in any way possible. shall be-
ready at all times to take active part
In the support of measures which,
will promote good government when-
ever the opportunity is given"
