iost tremendous ovations ever extended
the chief executive of any nation was
given President Roosevelt today at the
Louisiana Purchase) exposition. aim
while the crowds, all unconscious, lath
ered around the grounds, the entire po
lice fore of the city, augmented by the
greatest number of United States secret
service mob ever assembled here, wore
wrought to nervous tension by what
appears to have boon an anarchist
meeting for th purpose of taking the
president's- Ufa.
That no attempt was made was un
questionably A to the vigilance shown
and the espionage on every suspect.
Two days ago It became known that
there waa quietly gathering her the
worst band of "Reds" that has ever
been brought together In tsssrlsa
Suspicion and warning of this began
nearly three weeks ago. bat no haul
the notorious Herr Moat came was the
trail picked up. whoa the detectives and
secret service men Were horrified to
find that no less than U of the most
violent anarchists of Patsrson, N. J
had preceded Most, and war evidently
awaiting his arrival.
With Moat came others of his Uk.
and almost simultaneously cam M
United States -secret servico men.
The anarchist headquarters were
found In a house near Second and Mar
ket streets, and not a man, woman or
child could enter or depart from it
thereafter without being shade wsd con
stantly. . .
Yesterday morning the police decided
to force the Issue, so visited the anarch
ists and ordered them to leave the city
at once. The party, with the exception
of Most agreed to loavs by o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but Into last night
were stlU Us th city. '
Most refused, but mada no' throats
which could bo used for his detention,
although bs was In a particularly vio
lent frame of mind, as hs baa been
almost constantly since his last In
carceration In New England. Bevaral of
the other succeeded In eluding the de
tectives watching them, which led the
secret service man to sasums charge of

Sixteenth United States Infantry formed
a oordon about the entire structure, and
the Jeftsrasn Ouarda, platoons of police,
and secret service men were stationed
at various potato to protect th chief
executive from possible harm.

Wednesday night patrolmen
raided a house occupied by

entire polios fore of the town
was celled out to preserve

Men fought with each other
to get to the clerk's desk, and
In the scramble two prospective
brides wer trampled under d
foot. Four rioter were clubbed s

shot through ths hand by some

Of the greeting he received waa worthy
of the grant Mississippi valley and ths
president . of ths republic. President
Roosevelt was profoundly Impressed with
The magnitude of ths demonstration. He
said aa much In words and mora In ac
tions, for he mad no effort to conceal
his pleasure. From ths time the special
baa ring ths distinguished guest was side
tracked close by ths Transportation
building until the presidential party loft
th exposition grounds lata this after
noon Mr. Roosevelt received a continual
ovation.
It was a few minutes before t o'clock
when ths gayly decorated presidential
special opened w ids Its curtained doors.
Despite the hour hundreds of persons
thronged ths neighborhood and greeted
th president's appearance with shouts
ssssssSsgsaV ..fc siiara whistles and bells
took up the acclaim and for a few min
utes th air resounded with a perfect
medley of discordant sounds. Th mem
bers of th rsoeptlon committee had met
the train before It reached the city and
President Francis and other representa
tives ef the exposition were on hand to
welcome the president as soon ss ths
Dartv had flnlahed breakfast.
After greetings had been exchanged. jdMn
distinguished visitors wsrs taken In tow
and a tour of the exposition ground was
begun. This morning waa devoted to a
tour of the exhibit palaces of the north
ern tier, beginning with the Trans porta
tlon building and winding up at ths Gov
ernment building, where special arrange
ments had been mads for the reception
of the president In which federal troops
participated.
Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock In the
west pavilion. After luncheon the build
ings on th south tier ware visited, in
cluding Mines and Metallurgy, Education.
Electricity and Machinery. An hour was
spent on ths plateau of states and th
president also found time to visit ths Sta
dium, where a football waa la progress
between ths Haskell Indians and th
team from the Carlisle Indian school.
Ths president rode on horseback Into
ths mlddfe of th gridiron and for a
tiro excitement Beached Its highest
point Ths president had been warned
against thin for fear of a ss In a tlon;
but declined to give hoed.
President Francis entertained a box
party Including Mr. Roosevelt and
Alio at ths game.
Perhaps the greatest crush of ths day
took place as ths president ascended the
steps leading to th manufactures and
Ono arts building. Ths crowd at this
point bad reached ths absolute "packing"
point and ths police had great difficulty
in keeping a clear way. Flags Wore
everywhere In evidence, hats were burled
Into th air and th spectators literally
e beared themselves hoarse In their ex
citement. Through It all the president pa sd
unmoved, sxcspt that his expansive
smile waa constant and his bowing al
most oontinuaL
During ths greater part of ths day ths
president waa escorted about the grounds
by a squad of cavalry. But all idea of
keeping ths delighted people at a dis
tance was abandoned before ths presiden
tial party had gone far on their tour of
inspection, and aa ths party proceeded
along the various avenues and walks of
ths fair grounds ths acclaiming multi
tude overran th lawns and good-naturedly
elbowed for room In which to

of a national nature.

SAVES NAN FROM
HORRIBLE DEATH
Patrolman Fonee Drags George
Martin from the Brink of
a Muddy Grave.
FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE
OF A BELATED CITIZEN
Sinks in Slime to the Armpits,
and te About to Be En
gulfed When Rescued.
As h was slowly sinking to a hor
rible death In the quagmire marking the
site of the Corbet t street fill, a man who
gave hie name as Oeorge Martin was
rescued this morning by Policeman I..
C. Fones, after a struggle lasting three
quartera of an hour.
When Fones reached the scene In re
sponse to cries for help, Martin was np
to his armpits in the mud. By the time
aid arrived he was too exhausted to
struggle longer, ai.d In a few minutes
his head would have sunk beneath the
surface of the mud and slime.
Policeman Fones waa patrolling his
beat at 3:50 a. m. when he beard a cry
of "hello!"; He stopped and listened In
tently. In a few seconds a faint cry
of "help!" was borne to his ears.
The officer discovered the msn, saw
his plight, and hastily procured planks.
pickets and whatever else could be
brought Into use, and tossed them to
him, telling him to place them under his
arms. Taking fresh hope. Martin made
a strenuous effort and sucoseded in
obeying the order. The patrolman then
procured a rope, and after hard work
hauled out Martin.
' When he reached firm ground Martin
was a sorry-looking object, covered as
he was with slime from his Involuntary
mud bath. It appears that he walked
out on firm ground until hs ranched the
spot where the soft mud was worse
than quicksand anil suddenly plunged In
up to his waist. His strusmle sxhauated
him and caused htm to sink. He had
hardly strength enough left to call for
assistanos when Policeman Fones ar
rived. It was 1:60 o'clock when Fones heard
the call for help and 4:38 when he suc
ceeded In getting Martin out of the
mud. The victim of the accident waa
exceedingly reluctsnt to give his name,
and It Is believed Martin Is a flcltlous
one. He wore good clothing and ap
peared to be a prosperous cltlsen.
The policeman ruined his shoes and
trousers in saving the man. Red lights

place as dsngerous.
