Heartier greeting was never given a President of the United States than that offered today by the City of San Francisco to Theo dore Roosevelt. Through miles and miles o densely packed, cheering, patriotically enthused humanity, the Nation's Chief passed, bowing his acknowledgments, evi dently tired from maintaining an erect position In his carriage, but buoyed up by the lmpresslveness of the demonstration. It was a magnificent ovation, and one that will doubtless vividly remain in the President's recollections of his eventful tour. The Presidential train, drawn by a hand somely decorated locomotive, arrived at Third and Townsend streets promptly at 2:15 o'clock. A large gathering of Federal, state and city officials, Army and Navy officers, foreign Consuls and distinguished citizens was In waiting to welcome the Chief Magistrate. Mayor Schmltz stepped aboard the rear car and formally greet ed Mr. Roosevelt, the President making a brief response. Freedom of City Presented. M. H. DeYoung, president of the cltl zen's reception committee, then shook hands with the distinguished visitor, and said: "Mr. President: In the name of the citizens of San Francisco I extend you hearty welcome. In the days of old, when our land was owned by the Spaniards, who were noted for their hospitality, when they received a guest they generally saluted him with the remark, 'Our house and all that Is in it is yours "We say to you to day, 'Mr. President, our city and all that Is in It is yours, and with it we give you our hearts,' and you will have evidence as you pass through our decorated streets of the hearty sentiment for your that prevails In the bosom of all of our cltl zens. "We will try to. make your stay with us pleasant, and we hope that when you leave us you will do so carrying with you the memory of one of the most de lightful visits of your trip throughout the West. Mr. President, you are wel come." Greets Him for Kins: Edward. President Roosevelt expressed his thanks In a few words, and was then Introduced to Admiral BIckford. of the British Pa cific squadron, who conveyed the good wishes of King Edward, and said the ar rival of the flagship of the squadron to assist in the greeting was another in stance of the cordial relations existing between the two nations. . President Roosevelt said he appreciated the evidence of friendship and begged that his good wishes be given to His Majesty. Before entering his carriage Mr. Roose velt stepped up to the engine and warm ly shook hands with Engineer McGrall and Fireman Everly, who had safely pilot ed him from the South. Neprrocs Hold Position of Honor, In the parade the line was headed by troop of colored cavalry, this being the first Instance In the "West where negro sol dlers held the position of honor in a pub lie procession. Following the Presid nt came United States troops from the local pests, sailors and marines from warships In the harbor and Mare Island, regiments of the state militia, and a number of semi military organizations. A notable feature was the fancy marching of the Cleveland Grays, who came from Ohio to participate in the California greeting. After reviewing the parade the PresI dent was driven to the T. M. C. A. build lng,. where a throng had assembled to participate In the burning of mortgagee and notes representing the total indebted i ness of J115.2S0 upon the property. The j President, by request, touched a lighted I taper to the documents, and as the flames licked up the papers he joined with the assemblage In singing "Praise God From "Whom All Blessings Flow." Aronnd Banq.net Bonrd. i The President was banquctted tonight ' at the Palace Hotel by the citizens com J mlttec. The dining-room was a marvel of I beauty, being decorated with . thousands of Irises and Beauty of Glenwood roses. The- many tables were arranged to seat 36 persons ach, except the table of the honored guest, which ran the entire length of the north side ofthe room, and to which the others were placed at right angles. Immediately back of Mr. Roose velt's chair was draped th-3 Presidential flag, which had been sent over from the Mare Island navy-yard. To the right of Chairman M. H. DeYoung sat the Presi dent, Governor Pardee, Secretary Loeb, British Admiral BIckford, Dr. Rlxey, Ad miral Kempff and Dri Butkr. On the left were Secretary Moody, Mayor Schmltz, Senator Perkins, ' Assistant Secretary Barnes, General MacArthur and Dr. Wheeler. - The toasts and speakers were as follows: Welcome to the Metropolis of the Pa cific," M. H.- DeYoung, president of th8 citizens' recepUon committee; "Greeting From the Municipality," Mayor E. E. Schmltz; "The Golden State Speaks Offi cially," Governor George Pardee; "Our Guests' Reply," President Roosevelt; "Our Army," General MacArthur; "Our Navy," Secretary of the Navy Moody: "The Pres ident and His Alma Mater," Fairfax Wheelarx One of the features of the decorations was an Immense garland made entirely of California fruits and swung on the south wall of the room. Stretching from one end of the hall to the other was a string of electric lights spelling "Land of Sun shine, Fruit and Flowers Welcomes Pres ident Roosevelt." President Roosevelt' left San Joee at 8:30 o'clock this morning on his way to this city. A half hour's ride through orchards and fields brought the train to Palo Alto, site of the Leland Stanford University. Here the President left hl3 car and was driven up a palm-lined avenue to the fam ous university quadrangle, formed by the grouping of tile-covered buildings In the Mexican style of architecture. He was greeted by President David Starr Jordan, the faculty and assembled students, to whom he delivered a brief address. After a leisurely inspection of the campus and buildings. Including the beautiful Stan ford Memorial Church, which he declared was one of the most artistic religious Edi fices In the world, the President was es corted to his carriage by the entire college body. Hundreds of residents of Palo Alto and the adjacent country had assembled at the depot, and as the train pulled out there arose a deafening roar of college yells, mingled with the cheers of the pop ulace. Shortly before 12:30 o'clock the Presi dential party reached Burllngame, the pic turesque home of the Country Club, where a stop was made for luncheon. For this event President Roosevelt was the guest of Henry T. Scott, and many prominent citizens of California were present at the informal repast. After a rest under the trees and a stroll about the grounds the Journey was re sumed. Mllbrae, San Bruno and South San Francisco in succession were passed, and at 2:15 P. M., promptly on time, the main -depot of the Coast division of the Southern Pacific at the corner of Third and Townsend- streets in this city, was Teache'd. - ' ' " Up Third street, one of-the least-Impos ing thoroughfares of the city, to Market street, where modern sky-scrapers abound. the President passed through a lane lined by thousands of cheering citizens. At Market street the elaborate decorations. the fluttering flags, the swinging wreaths of green and the maze of pendent electric globes at once attracted the President's attention, and he expressed his- apprecia tion In hearty terms of the general effect. The sky was cloudless, and probably 200,000 people were on the streets through which the PresldenUal party passed. On Van Ness avenue the President's carriage halted wKile the parade passed in review, while the people cheered and innumerable 'flags were waved. HIS SPEECH AT BANQUET. President Points Ont the Need of n More Elastic Currency. SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. Following is President Roosevelt's speech at the ban quet tonight: "I thank the citizens of the Golden State for their greeting. I rejoice with you on the prosperity of California, and that pros perity, is but part of the prosperity of the whole Union. Speaking broadly, prosper ity must of necessity come to all of us or to none of us. Of course, there are spora dic exceptions. Individual and local. But taken as a whole, if good times come, they come more or less to all sections and to all classes, and if hard times come, while they may bear unequally upon us. yet more or less they bear upon each state, upon each set of individuals. "This Golden State has a future of even brighter promise than most of her older sisters; and yet the future Is bright for. all of us. California, still In her youth, can look forward to such growth as only a few of her sister states may share. Yet there are immense possibilities of growth (Concluded on Page 7.)

THE PRESIDENT'S OPINION OF 'HERMANN'S CANDIDACY. "There Is not ono word of truth. In the , rumor that I am opposed to Mr. Hermann's election: but on the con trary I heartily and earnestly desire his election. I hope that every voter who believes in the principles of the party and wishes well for the Admin istration will cast his vote for Mr. Hermann. The rumored quarrel 'be-' tween Mr. Hermann and myself Is without foundation. Our relations are and always have been cordial." Dr. T. W. Harris, chairman of the Re publican Congressional Committee of the First District, has received from Sen ator John H. Mitchell a copy of a letter which the Senator has received from Hon. Thomas H. Carter, president of the Na tional Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, which proves conclusively that President Roosevelt Is favorable to Blnger Hermann's election to Congress. The letter Is as follows: "St. Louis, Mo., May 2. Hon. John H. Mitchell, Washington, D. My dear Senator: Please pardon delay In answer ing your esteemed favor of recent date from New York. I had hoped to see more of you and to be able to give' an answer to a portion of your letter through a per sonal Interview before your deparature from St. Louis, but I learned tonight that you had left the city and, therefore., the privilege of a meeting was denied. "I am gratified to know that your health is improving, and it is needless to say that. In common with those who know you best, I Indulge the .hope that you may ere long be restored to the robust physical condition whichwas the envy ot all many years ago.. .... "In regard to the candidacy for Con gress, of Hon. Blnger Hermann, to which you refer, permit, me to say that I made it a special point to ask President Roose velt direct what his attitude was In re gard to Mr. Hermann. I had no doubt, to begin with, as to his reply, but since, according to your suggestion, persons re sisting the election of Mr. Hermann had suggested that his candidacy was regard ed with disfavor by the President. I felt constrained to secure -for you, as Mr. Hermann's friend, direct information from headquarters. In his usual frank and forceful manner, the President used, as near as I can recall the following language, to-wit: " 'There is not one word of truth In the rnmor that I am opposed to Mr. Hermann's election; bnt, on the contrary, I heartily and earnestly desire his election. I hope that every voter who believes in the principles of the party and wishes well for the administration will cast his vote for Mr. Hermann. The rnmored quarrel between Mr. Hermann and myself Is without foundation. Oar relations are, and always have been, cordial.' - ao lorcgoms uuosianuaiiy. ii not actually, the language of the President. PROMINENT PART IN WELCOMING ROOSEVELT YESTERDAY PHOFBSSOR i do not apprehend my dear Senator, that !iy Republican will be deceived by the designing rumors set afloat by . the oppo sition to the Administration for the pur pose, of bringing about the defeat of-obr party candidate. Hon. Blnger Hermann is 'too well known to the people of Ore teon as an earnest, honest, faithful public sen-ant to warrant the belief that any Idle campaign rumor could encompass his defeat by Republican votes. . "My understanding Is that a distinct la sue arose between Mr. Hermann and Sec retary Hitchcock involving the policy of the General Land Office, as administered by Mr. Hermann. Mr. Hermann took the broad, liberal Western Idea of the Admin istration of the land laws as his guide, while" Mr. Hitchcock, with equal honesty, adopted a- more rigid policy than that wnlch has heretofore obtained in the ad ministration of the land laws under Re publican Administrations. As Commis sioner of the General Land Office. Mr. Hermann could not yield his convictions" to the Secretary and, therefore, in a manly fashion, resigned his position. This course of conduct was creditable to Mr. Hermann, and the tenacious adherence of the Secretary of the Interior to Jiis own views of Republican land policy must be regarded as creditable to him.

REVENUE CUTTER GOMES HORTH Governor McBride Complicates tfca Sltnntion by Refusing? to Hecos nlze the- Legislative Committee Humphrey Turned. Dowb, ORDERS TO THE M'CULLOCH. S2ATTLE. May 12. Following is a copy of the order of the Navy Depart ment to Captain Colaon. of the McCuI Ioch: "Proceed with your command-to Se attle, and report to the committee hav ing In charge the-arrangements for the reception ot the President, and confer with them upon the subject. Upon th arrival of the President you will report to, him and tender him the us of your command during his stay. The President's flag has been sent you by express, care of the Seattle Hardware Company. You will time your depart ure so as' to arrive at Seattle not later than the 15th lnst." SEATTLE, May 12. Special.) The lat est phase In the row between Seattle and Tacoma over the entertainment ot Presi dent Roosevelt Is the announcement from official sources that the revenue cutter McCulIoch, Captain Colson. has been or dered here from San Francisco to fly the President's flag,, which has been shipped by express from Washington to Seattle for the special purpose of being placed at the masthead on tjie McCulIoch. It Is un derstood that the orders have been Issued as the result of a controversy between, the Seattle and Tacoma committees as to which city- snail entertain the President cn his tour of the Sound, there being a diversity of opinion between the two cit ies as to which shall have charge of tlo steamship Spokane, originally selected, for the tour. In case the committee fail to reach a satisfactory understanding. It 13 understood that the President will de cline the hospitality of both cities on tha trip by using the McCulIoch. As If the row between Tacoma and Se attle were not enough, there Is another complication In the preparations now being' made In thfe state for the reception of the President. These complications may- force the Chief Executive to take a strong hand In the proceedings himself, and map out his own tour on Puget Sound. The latest trouble arises from the fact that Governor McBride has refused to recognize the Legislative committee of 12 members, of which President Smith, of the State Senate. Is chairman. This com mittee was created" by a Joint resolution of the last Legislature, and Includes In its personnel Speaker Hare, of the House; Senator Hamilton, of Pierce County, and .others equally well known. Their func tion Is to. receive, on behalf of the Leg islature, the President when he arrives in this state. Yet Governor McBride has perfected all plans for the reception of the President at Olympla without regard to the Legislative committee and without Informing any member thereof of his plans. It Is an embarrassing situation for the 'committee, and Governor McBride Is plainly venting .on the members of the committee -Ws spite against the men who unhorsed him at the last Legislature. It has been suggested that the Legislative committee " repair to Olympla, and there meet the President, but, under the present programme, the committee would have to be subservient to such arrangement as the Governor may make. It Is now probable that the Legislative committee will gather at Tacoma. and there meet the Chief Executive. This -plan is favored by a majority of -the, commit tee. It will probably work out, this way, as the Governor has not been Invited to attend the festivities at Tacoma. TACOMA TURNS SEATTLE DOWN.
