While behring's COOL million is

of HOT workers are shaving away at

the big bugs when the same man is

WILSON'S EULOCY
More than 10000 Listen in
Solemn Silence to
Tribute of Chief.
CASKETS PILED WITH
ROSES AND LILIES
Several Women and Children
Slightly Hurt in Rush to
Enter Campus.

The depth and sincerity OF yesterday s
tribute to the American nations dead at
Vera Cruz may be gagged by the fact that
thousands upon thousands OF men and
women massed themselves before the
gates OF the Brooklyn navy yard at 8
o'clock in the morning, and, at times
with the sun beating fiercely down upon
them and at all times in danger or being
trampled by the surging crowd. silently
stood for six racking hours for the oppor-
tunity to do their part in paying homage
to the fallen heroes.
II was not curiosity that drew them
nor merely the desire 10 see a President
OF the United States. Idle curiosity could
not have weathered the trials that most
Of them were forced 10 undergo. Too, II
was noticeable that the President was
secondary I'm their mnds-they were there
TO honor the dead. and TO do so quietly
and efficiently. That duty accomplished,
they went to their homes.
In the press that sought entrance when
the gates opened at s o'clock men and
tramped upon. Later. as the crowd grew
thicker and the suns rays hotter. women
in the vast throng tainted and were car
ried away In hastily rugged up hospital
tents scores of persons were treated.
Some recovered Immediately. others were
suffering from contusions, and one woman
probably will lose a hand as the result OF
the scramble for choice positions.
Ten thousand persons had been settled
upon as the number to be admitted TO the
service, but It was early manifested that
It would be impossible to limit It to that
number More and more were admitted,
and those who could not gain entrance
climbed TO the roofs Of adjacent or dis
tant buildings and perched eiddily on
chimney tops Traffic in Flushing av.
was stopped hours before the arrival OF
the cortCge.
When the President and his party en-
tered the outer recesses Of the yards It
was nearly II o'clock The bodies Of the
dead. with their escorts, had continued
down Nassau and Flushing avs, and
were simultaneously making their en-
trance at the main gates Of the campus.
Fifty feet apart. blue CARRIED sailors
snapped their swords and rifles In ma
chine-nke salutes as the Presidents car
riage rolled past. The whisper ran
through the grounds that the President
had arrived, and here and there shirt
sleeved workmen ran from the buildings
and removed their caps as they looked
upon the nations head. The national
salute OF twenty-one guns sounded from
the Tennessee.
AS the President reached the campus
and took the place OF honor in the stand
the merest movement ran through the
crowd. There was no applause; there
were no cheers-as had sometimes hap
pened on the line Of march. Overhead
in a balcony of the barracks, dozen
telegraph instruments licked the news
that the President OF the United States
was waiting TO honor those who had
pertshed for their country.
At the right OF the President stood
