The addresses "were made from a bal
cony on the second floor of tho rectory
and the audience gathered In tho streets.
The intersection of Tenth and G streets.
Northwest Washlngttm, was packed with
people and the crowd extended fully a
square north, south, east and west from
the rectory. Dr. Stafford in his opening
remarks referred to the fact that in the
century and more the St Patrick's
Church had worked in "Washington no
honor bad come to it so great as the
visit of President Roosevelt
Greeted With Many Cheers.
The Knights of Columbus formed a
guard of honor for the President hut a
scmad of policemen was necessary to open
the way through the crowded streets.
Cheer after cheer went up as the Presi
dent and his escort appeared. As bo
passed into the reoiprr. a -child's choir i
of aub voices stationed In the front of the :
church sang hymns.
Before the ceremony was begun tho
President was shown through the hand
some new rectory. When he stepped out
on tho balcony he was cheered loudly,
the demonstration doubling when Card
inal Gibbons took a place by tho Presi
dent's side and invited him to be seated.
Dr. Stafford, the first speaker, told of
the work of St Patrick's parish, its
growth and its aim for the future. He
introduced Cardinal Gibbons, who testi
fied to the value of the parish and gavo
great credit to the efforts of its rector.
Dr. Stafford then introduced President
Roosevelt "as the man of even-handed
Justice, the President of the 'square
deal.' " President Roosevelt thanked tho
rector and Joined in the laugh which pre
ceded prolonged cheering. Then he spoke
as follows:
Address by the President.
"Cardinal Gibbons, Father Stafford and
you, my fellow-Americans It is a great
pleasure to me to be present with you
today to assist at tho dedication of the
school, hall and rectory of this parish a
parish whose 110th anniversary we also
now celebrate, for this parish was founded
six years before this capital was placed
ln the present District of Columbia.
(Cheers.) I am glad, indeed, to have been
Introduced by Cardinal Gibbons to you,
the spiritual representative, in a peculiar
sense, to that Bishop Carroll who played
so illustrious a part in the affairs of the
church and whoso klnfolk played so il
lustrious a part in the affairs of the Na
tion at the dawning of this Government
In greethv all of you, I wish to say that
I am especially glad to see tho chtldren
present
"You know, I believe in children. I
want to see enough of them and of the
right kind. I 'wish today, in the very
brief remarks that I have made, to dwell
upon this thought the thought that ought
to be In the mind of every man and woman
here, the -thought that while in -this coun
try wo need wise laws, honestly and fear
lessly" executed, and while wo 'cannot af
ford to tolerate anything hut the highest
standard in the public service of the Gov
ernment yet that in tho last analysis
the future of the country must depend
upon -quality of tho Individual home, of
the individual man or woman In that
home.
Future Depends on the Children.
"The future of this country depends up
on the way in which the average man
and the average woman in it does his or
her duty, and that very largely dipends
upon the way in which the average boy
or girl is brought up. Therefore, a great
responsibility rests upon those whoso Ufa
work it is to see to the spiritual welfare
of our people, and upon those who make it
their life work to try to train the citi
zens of the future so that they shall be
worthy of that future.
"In wishing you well today I wish you
well in doing the most important work
whicu is allotted to any of our people, to
do. The rules of good citizenship are
simple. The trouble is not In finding
them out but in living up to them after
they have been found out
"I think we all "know fairly well what
qualities they are which in their sum
make up the typo of character we like to
see in man or Woman,, son or daughter;
but I am afraid we do not always see
tbB. m well developed as we would like
to. I wish to see in the average Ameri
can citizen tho development of the two
sets of qualities which we can roughly !
indicate as sweetness and strength the
qualities on the one hand which make
the man able to hold his own, and those
which, on the other hand, make him
Jealous for the rights of others Just as
much as for his own rights.
SWeetnesa and Strength.
"We must have both sets of qualities.
In the first place, the man must have
the power to hold his own. You probably
know that I do not care very much for the
coward or the moral weakling. I want
each of you boys, and the girls Just as
much, and each of you young men and
young women, to have tho qualities with
out- which people may be amiable and
pleasant while things go well, but with
out which they cannot succeed in times
of trial.
"I wish to see in the man, manliness; in
the woman, womanliness. I wish to see
courage, perseverance, the willingness to
face work, to face, you men, if It Is nec
essary, danger; the determination not to
shrink hack when temporarily beaten In
life, as each which now and then, but to
come again and wrest triumph from de
feat "I want to see you men strong men
and brave men, and, in addition, I wish
to sec each man of you feel this strength
and this courage, but make him the
worse unless to that strength and courage
are joined the qualities of tenderness
toward those who are dependent upon him
and of right dealing with all his neigh
bors. Successes in American Life.
"Finally, I want to congratulate all of
us here on certain successes that we havo
achieved in tho century and a quarter
that has gone by of our American life.
We have difficulties enough and we are
a long way short of perfection. I do not
see any immediate danger of our growing
too good; there Is ample room, for effort
yet left But we have achieved certain
results and we have succeeded in a meas
ure in realizing certain ideals.
"We have grown to accept it an axiom
atic truth of our American lifo that the
man Is to be treated on his worth as a
man, without regard to the accidents of
his position; that this is not a Government
designed to favor the rich man as such
or the poor as such, but that it is de
signed to favor every American, rich or
poor, if he is a decent man, who acts
fairly by his fellows.
Room for All Creeds.
"We' havo grown to realize that part
of the foundations upon which our liberty
rests as the right of each man to worship
his Creator according to the dictates of
his conscience, and the duty of each man
to respect his fellows who so worship him.
(Cheers and applause.) And, oh, my coun
trymen, one of the highest auguries for
the future of this country, for the fu
ture of this mighty and majestic Nation
of ours, lies in the fact that we "brothers
have grown to regard one another with
a broad and kindly charity and to realizo
that ths field for -human ewltuvor Ja
wide; that the field for charitable' phil
anthropy is large, work is wide, and
that- while a corner remains un
titled wo - do a -dreadful , wrong'
if we fall to welcome the work done In
that field by every man, no matter what
his creed, provided only he works with
a lofty sense of his duty to God and his
duty to his neighbor."
After a speech by Commissioner Mc
Fariand, tho choir sang "America" and
a number of hymns. Tho President joined
In tho sjnglng and tho audience was not
slow to follow. A number of young1 church
officials followed the President to his car
riage. He shook hands with them and
called -heartily as he drove away:
"Good-bye, boys. I am glad to have
been with you."

one of the most remarkable criminal cases
on record, has given tho man who drew
his death warrant at Albion, Idaho, six
years ago, mining stocK valued at $10,000,

Judge O. W. Powers, of Salt Lake, is

nocence. Judge Powers appeared before
the Idaho Board of Pardons to urge that
Davis he released.
This was done, and about two years ago
Davis came to Salt Lake, penniless. Judge
Powers loaned him money enough to go
to Tonopah, Nev., and Davis departed
with the promise that he would repay the
money. Since then Davis has prospered.
As one of tho original locators of the fa
mous claims at Goldflcld and Diamond
kficld, he secured large holdings in the
camps,
Recently Judge Powers received a letter

Late for Regular Term.
FIGHT IN YAMHILL AND COOS
Liquor Forces Will Seek to Enjoin
Proclamation of Prohibition, or
Seek to Have .Returns
Set Aside.
Prohibition will be fought In Yamhill
and Coos Counties. Already the result of
the election In Gilliam County, which
"went dry," has been set aside by the
County Court In Coos the liquor forces
will sue to enjon the County Clerk from
proclaiming prohibition. In Yamhill an
effort will be made to have the County
Court set as do the election as being of
no effect
The County Court of Coos has' an
nounced that it cannot give notice of pro
hibition until December 1. Antl-Prohibl
tlonlsts have been endeavoring to have
that notice put off as long as possible.
The law ordains that "said court shall
on tho 11th day after the election, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, hold
special session; and if a majority of the
votes hereon in the county as a whole or
In any precinct in the county are 'for pro
hibition,' said court shall Immediately
make an order declaring the result of said
vote and absolutely prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors within the pre
scribed limits except for the purposes and
under the regulations specified herein un
til such time as the qualified voters. there
in at a legal election held for that purpose
by a majority vote decide otherwise.
In Three Counties.
Dispatches from Marsbfield, McMInn-
vllle add Arlington read as follows:
Marsh Held, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) The
flrt at'ep in the legal battle that will
ensue. In Coos County over prohibition was
Vourc by Attorneys fceaDrepK ana upioa in :
behalf of the saloon-keepers and budnets 1
men's organization to defer action la regard
to giving notice. The court has announced
that it will bo Impracticable to give notice
to cease the sale of intoxicants before De
cember 1. In the meantime the lawyers will
enjoin the court from giving such notice, but
It Is not known upon what grounds.
An organization of saloon men has been
effected, and attorneys have been retained.'
The three saloons In Curry County, at Lang
lots. Port Orford and Long Beach, trill prob
ably join. But Curry County has no incorpo
rated towna, and tho loss of revenue will not
be so sorely felt as In Coos.
Attorneys for the liquor people contend that
the notice of election was not properly adver
tised In Coos County. They hope, by the tune
the Circuit Court has passed on the matter In
April and the dispute has been decided by the
Supreme Court, another election will bare come
round and the result of the last election can
be reversed. Meanwhile the saloons expect to
keep running. Some saloonkeepers who do not
wish to run the risk of fines will close up
January L
McMlnnville, Or.. Nor. 20. (Special.)
Liquor men are determined to contest the
validity of tho prohibition election where
by Yamhill County went "dry." The issue
raised will be that of irregularities at the
polls and of an Illegal election. Indications
are that the law will be thoroughly tested.
It will be set up that tho election was not
called at a legal term of the County Court
and that electors voted who were not entitled
to do 80.
Arlington, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) The
County Court of Gilliam County unani
mously agreed at a session held Saturday
that as the petition for the vote, on local op
tion hod been presented too late for the
regular term of tho County Court of Gilliam
County prior to the late election, therefore
the ballot was illegal and void and declared
the election to have no effect. The result
of this action by the' County Court will be
that GUUam County will remain under the
license system.
By the terms of tho law petitions for
prohibition elections must bo filed not
less than 30 days before an election, nor
more than 90. In counties "and precincts
which "went dry" In the election Novem
ber 8, prohibition is to be enforced after
January L
Trickery, Says Mr. Amos.
L H. Amos, chairman, of the stato pro
hibition committee, was surprised last
night to hear that the County Court of
Gilliam has declared the prohibition elec
tion of no effect He suspected trickery
on the part of tho liquor forces and de
clared that such practices would surely
militate against them.
"Let 'em go ahead," exclaimed the big
chief of the cold-water people spiritedly.
"They only damage the liquor cause In'
the enft. No question about it In the
world. "We expect to meet with tempo
rary reverses, but we shall not be de
terred from our goal the subjugation of
liquor In this country. "We are going to
get there, too, and It won't profit' anybody
to play tricks on us.
"Of course, if we failed to file our
petition In the time required "by law the
fault lp ours. But the County Clerk of
Gilliam must have had authority to put
the prohibition question on the ballot else
the electors of the county would not have
voted; at' least it would seem that way.
I am reliably Informed that the liquor
people have been doing clever work to
annul the election, evidently they have
succeeded."
Prohis Make Advances to Optionlsts.
The s Vitus of diplomatic relations be
tween the Prohibition party and the Anti
Saloon League has not changed, nor will
it until the superintendent of the league.
Rev. G. L. Tufts, shall return to the city.
Prohis are very eager to enlist in their
service the local option element which en
acted their hill at the polls last Juae, in
order to terrify the Legislature out of
tampering with the act .They havo al
ready appointed a committee of seven
members to try the arts of diplomacy on
the league and have invited the. league to
appoint a committee .of like number.
Prohia are quite jre that -the, local
option law has been Hialktlowlypallgned'
and is falsely understood? They. Insist.
that the liquor traflc-tar;Sjot rightly en
titled to the same -advantages as prohibi
tion in the act, because ""booze" is tbe.
devH'a beverage and Its sale is a sin and
an abomination.
NORTH BEND DEFIES PROHIS.
Town in Coos County Resolves to
Keep Its SlxSaIoons.
The town of North Bend, Coos County,
has refused to ober the "drv" mnnriato of
tho county. Prohibition carried In tho
county by a majority of 110 votes. After
the election the Town Council of "Vrrrth
Bend instructed the Marshal to nermlt
raioons io remain open so Jong as they
conauciea tnemselves decently. ,
Mayor Simpson announced to 'the.-Council
that he believed every1 town, should
have tho right to say whether it wished to
be "wet" or "dry," and that such was the
intent of local option. In the town, he
said, there wero six liquordealers, each of
whom paid an annual license of $400, with
out which money the town treasury would
be bankrupt LlquorSealers, he said, had

graceful scenes transpired yesterday when
several groups of officers and men of the
vessels belonging to the Baltic fleet in.
this port left various drinklng-hbuses "and
paraded the streets. Tho Russians were
evidently intoxicated.
Brandishing their swords and other
weapons, they made a wild rush at the
peaceful passers-by. At least five of
these were murdered by the drunken Rus
sians, and many others were wounded
and a . largo number cuffed and beaten,
The brawls .continued until late into the
night.
Under cover of darkness the drunkards
grew wilder still and their shouts and
loud talk, scared most people into their
houses. The streets became practically
deserted by the residents. It Is reported
that at least 40 of the Russian sailors
have so far deserted.
Evidence of unimpeachable character
exists showing that the discipline on
hoard the Russian ships Is unparalleled
Jn its laxity and that the men, being In
toxicated most of the time, cannot be
controlled by the few of their sober and
serious-minded officers.

MUKDEN, Nov. 20. The Japanese
attack on Poutlloft Hill has demon
strated the efficacy of the Russians
defensive works. Two battalions en
gaged in the attack occupied tho first
line of the Russian trenches but at tho
second line wero caught in pits and

"It was hazy at the time and the cap
tain of the Sicilian Prince was steering
a northeasterly course."
His only explanation, of the vessel
being so close in shore is what he
learned from some of the crew of the
ship, who said that Captain William
Hank, of the Prince liner, saw the
Sandy Hook light and mistook it for
the Barnegat light on the Jersey Coast.
The steamer grounded so easily that
few of the passengers knew of the
ship's predicament until daylight.

o'clock this morning when he found his
vessel was fast aground and Jmmo-"
diately got into communication with

dispatched the wrecking tugs. These
arrived early in the afternoon and will
stand by the ship until she Is floated.

from the vesseL The beach on which
the Sicilian Prince grounded is marked
by several wrecks of- vessels that havo
gone ashore there in the past five or
six years.
