HEAVY POLICE GUARD
FOR ADMIRAL sims
White Star Line TO Exclude All
Visitors From Pier When
Olympic Docks.
SAFE JOURNEY INSURED
Friends and Enemies Promise
That Reception Will Not
Be IndecOrous.
SAFE JOURNEY INSURED

The Navy Department and the
White Star Line took solemn notice
yesterday of the fact that the pro-
Simses and the anti-Simses will be on
hand when the Admiral lands from the
Olympic, due tomorrow morning.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY. after
announcing that Admiral Sims would
not be taken off the steamship at
Quarantine, but would leave the ship
at the pier said he hoped it would
never be impossible for an Admiral Of
the Navy to land in any American city
without being subjected to indignity
Tho steamship officials consulted
George w. Aldridge, Collector of the
Port. and then decided to exclude oil
visitors from the Olympic's pier at the
foot of West Eighteenth street This
will keep away from ;he immediate
vicinity of the vessel both the delega-
ton from the Association for the Rec
ognition of the Irish Republic, which
dslikes the Admiral. and the members
of various patriotic societies who pur-
pose to tell him that his "jackass
speech" was not half bad.
Meanwhile the New York Police De-
partment will do its part in seeing that
the traveller Is welcomed without dis
order by posting a great number OF men
about the pier and its approaches
When the Admiral leaves the pier
with the usual navy escort he Is likely
to find a large space of water front
cleared by the police. so that he will
have no trouble in making quick jour
ney TO the train which VIII take him to
Washington.
Secretary DENLY. to whom Admiral
Sims is to repor. as soon as he reaches
the capital. said yesterday;
IL sincerely hope that no American
community would perpetrate this dis
grace. So far as I am concerned there
will be no change in any plans for the
landing OF admiral Sims
Caspar whitney and others. who are
informally mastering the friends or Nd
miraI Sims. report that plenty OF them
will be as near the pier as they are al
lowed to 60, but that there will be no
banners or bands or circus stunts. The
idea Is merely to give the Admiral Dig
cheer as an expression OF Yankee sent
ment. Yesterday twenty representative
New Yorkers--leadcrs IN professions and
businesses of many sorts--joined in send
ing Admiral Sims wireless message
sponsored by the Allied Loyalty League.
The message and the names OF the sign
ers follows:
I'VE acclaim the high patriotism OF
the distinguished commander OF the
naval forces OF America during the great
war and extend OUT hearty greetings on
his return to the country he has served
so well. CSgncd)
