New Tork, May ,11. With President
Wllion representing the nation, more
than 1.000.000 people turned out here
today to do honor to the 17 bluejack
ets and marines who fell afcshe cap
ture of Vera Crua.
In all the street through which
passed the rumbling caissons on which
the coffins rested, dense crowds wereJ
banked on either side. Heads cranea
frdVn every window. All were bared
as the flag-dra&ed caskets rolled by.
L'd Broadway the procession moved
to the city ' hall. There it paused
while Mayor Mltchel, deeply affected,
made a short speerh and laid a giant
wreath of orchids and bayleaves on
one of the caissons. "The Tribute of
ttm 'ity of New York," it was in
scribed. Mitch si Speaks for New Tork.
"The people of New York," said the
mayor in part, "pay solemn respect
today to these heroes, dead. To their
stricken families their loss is irrep
arable. Nothing we can say, nothing
we can do, can mitigate their sorrow.
"But to the American people these
men's loyalty and sacrifice give new
inspiration. They gave their lives, not
to war. but to the extension of peafe.
"The highest trrbute we can pay at
this hour to the Vera Cruz dead la a
renewed plettge of loyalty to the na
. tlon. Ills honor and service are in
spired by their brave deaths, which
have heightened our people's resolu
tion to enter, whenever need arises, the
path f patriotic service these men fol
lowed so faithfully.
President Bides la Troeessloau
President Wilson's appearance In the
procession, was a surprise, as It had
been expressed he would appear only
at the navy yard ceremonies. The blue
Jackets and marines standing at ease at
the Battery sprang to attention as his
automobile appeared.
A detachment from, the First artil
lery. New York National Guard, was in
waiting with 1" drsped caissons, but it
was the bluejackets who lashed the
coffins upon them for the march. Four
"Jackles" stood at attention as each
coffin was brought ashore and placed
In line on the pier.
All were ashore and the yacht May

exchanged greetings and went Inside
the dock building. A long wait ensued,
during which th coffins were being
placed upon the caissons and the
Jackles and marines stood at ease.

A number of burglar tools were
scattered about the floor in the store

of which 'had been left unlocked, was
shattered. Blankets and clothing had
been wrapped about it before the

A horse and buggy was found tied

New York, May 11. Speaking at the
Brooklyn navy yard today at the fu
neral services for the sailors and mar
rines killed at Vera Cruz, President
Wilson said:
"I know the feelings of all who stand
aoout me and of the whole nation at
this hour. They are feelings which
are not expressible in terms of oratory,
"For myself, I have a singular mix
ture of feelings. The uppermost feel
ing is one of profound grief that these
lads had to go to their death. . Next to
this is a feeling of pride, and, If I may
say so, a touch of envy for those who
were permitted to do their duty so
quietly and so nobly.
"Have you thought of it? Here 1
a roster of the navy. Suddenly there
swing 19 stars off the list gone into
the firmament of memory, where they
will always shine and always be re
membered because the owners of those
names performed the duty laid not only
upon them but upon us.
"Duty is not an uncommon thing.
Men are performing it in ordinary
walks of life all around ua all the time
and making great sacrifices to per
form it.
"What gives men like these" nd
the president made a gesture toward
the flag covered coffins "their pecu
liar distinction is not merely that they
did their duty, but that their duty had
nothing to do with them or their own
personal and peculiar Interests.
"They did not give their lives for
themselves. They gave their lives for
us, because we called upon them, as a
nation, to perform an unexpected duty.
"That, is the way la which men be
come distinguished and . that is the
only way by serving some one ebe
sldes themselves. And what greater
thing could you serve than a nation
such as this we love and are proud of?
Pulse Quickens at Thalr Memory.
"Are you sorry for these lads sorry
for the way in which they will be re
membered? Does it not quicken your
pulse to think of the list of them? I
hope to God none of you may Join
such a list, but if Jou do you will Join
an immortal company.
"So, while we are profoundly sor
rowful, while there goes from our
hearts a very deep, affectionate sym
pathy for the friends and relatives of
these lads, who for the rest of their
lives shall mourn them, though with
a touch of pride, we Know why we do
not go away from this occasion down
cast, but with heads lifted and eyes
on our country's future, in absolute
confidence as to how it will be worked
out.
'We have gone to Mexico to serve
mankind If we can find a way. We

We want to serve them if we can.

"Notice that these men were of our
blood. I mean the American blood,
which is not drawn from one country,
one stock and one language, but free
men everywhere have sent their sons
and brothers and daughters to this
I country to make that great compounded
nation consisting of all the Bturdy ele
ments, all the best elements, on the
globe.
"These were not Irishmen, or Ger
mans, or Frenchmen, or Hebrews. They
were not when they went to Vera Cruz.
rhey were Americans, every one of
them, and with no difference' in their
Americanism because of the stock from
which they came.
Therefore they were of our blood
and they proved It by showing that
they were of our spirit that no matter
what their derivation, no matter what
people they came from, they thought
and wished and did the things that
were American, and the flag under
winch they served was the flag under
which the blood of all mankind is
united to make a free nation.
Sneers That Wound the Heart.
"War gentlemen, is only a sort of

matic symbol of thousands of forms

just the same, are men for the nation
to be proud of.
'Morally speaking, triumph and dis

SLOWLY COOKS TWO
Machine Skids Over .Bank,
Gasoline Trickling to Tail
Lamp Causes Explosion,
Pinned under an overturned auto
mobile, two men were slowly burned
tJ death last night at a point two
miles west of Sylvan on the Canyon
road, when the gasoline from the fuel
tank ignited from the oil tail light
of the mschlne. Two others had
miraculous escapes from a similar end.
The Dead.
Martin McNicholas, aged 24, single,
longshoreman, 516 Albina avenue.
George W. Betz, 23 years old, single,
manager and part owner of George
Betz & Son, florists, 699 Williams
avenue, residence same.
Howard Franklin, a steam shovel
fireman, and Walter James, colored,
pcrter in a barber shop at 286 Rus
sell street, occupied the rear seats in
the machine, but both extracated them
selves without injury.
Victims Know Tire Coming.
The fuel tank of the automobile,
which belonged to Betz, was nearly
full. For five minutes the pinned down
men, according to Franklin, one wedged
between the frame and a huge rock, the
other held under the steering wheel
awaited for the trickling gasoline from
the broken tank to reach the blazing
oil lamp, the well of which had turned
upside down.
The destruction of the machine was
complete as far as fire could make it
so. Aluminum parts were melted into
globules of metal and the seats and
everything else inflammable were con
sumed. A tree against which the au
tomobile rested -was-burned to its top
most branch. The noise of the explod
ing gasoline was heard for half a mile.
The light rain was Just sufficient to
allow the unguarded wheels to skid
Going around a short and almost com
Dlete curve at that point, the outside
wheels of the machine slid out onto
the sod and ran that way for 200 feet
before a sharp drop at the side of the
road was reached. Then the machine
turned over.
Party Visited Morgue.
Betz had been to Vancouver in the
machine yesterday afternoon and about
5:30 stopped at the Russell street bar
ber shop. There h proposed a rid.?
and the other three joined him. He
had lost the machine's tail light during
the day, and a stop was made lo pro
cure another one just across tho streat
from the morgue, where four hours
later the bodies of himself and his
companion were taken. While secur
ing the light he paid a visit to some
friends at the morgue.
Franklin relates the details of the
accident, as follows:
"We were going west about fia
miles out and the first I knew of any
thing wrong was when the machine
tipped and we . went bumping along
the sod. Then we suddenly dropped
and the car turned over on us. I guess
I laid there half a minute. Walter
James crawled out through a side
door. The floor of the car was above
me, and I pushed up two or three
times and It came loose. I pushed th
brake rods to one side and crawled
out.
Botn Men Were Screaming.
"The back light was flaring way up
and we couldn't put it out. I tried to
kick it off. Then I signaled dome
other automobiles just coming over
the hill and we all ran down and tried
t'j lift the car. Betz's legs were stick
ing out. but I couldn't pull him out.

BOY ROASTED ALIVE
IN FIRE WHICH GUTS
GROCERY EARLY TODAY
Lad Gets Head and Arm
Through Window but Can
not Squeeze, Body Out.
Wlth his head and one hand thrust
through a small window Into the open
air, unable to squeeze his body through
the narrow aperture, Willy Flnckel
steln, 16 years old, was roasted alive
In a fire that gutted the grocery shop
of A. Boxer, First and Porter streets,
at 6:30 o'clock this morning.
How the fire started or what made
it spread so quickly is not known.
Finckelsteln, who served as Boxer's
assistant in the shop, came to his em
ployer's house about 6 o'clock this
morning for the keys of the store in
order to open up for the early morning
trade md set the vegetables and fruits
out dn the sidewalk.
Just what he did this morning Is
not known. The vegetables and fruits
were placed out in front of the store
windows as usual, but about 6:30
o'clock the place burst into flames.
The boy was seen to reach the door
once and then disappear in the build
ing.
Lad Evidently Confused.
..Evidently confused.-he went back
irto the cellar which is hollowed out
of the side of the hill on which the
store stands. Instinctively he made
for a window in the back part of the
basement, crawling over a number of
bags of "salt to reach It. The window
opened out Into a little hole In the
ground and was entirely below the
surface of the eartn.
Finckelstein had one- arm and his
head out of the window when engine
No. 5, headed by Captain L. N. Riley,
arrived. The fire captain grabbed the
boy's loose hand and endeavored to
pull the lad through the window. One
Jerk loosened the other hand, which
vas seized by a spectator at the fire.
The. jerk on the lad's body caused a
tiemendous drart, snooting a riood or
flames Into the faces of the" rescuers.
Not until a line was directed into the
rear of the basement was Captain Ri
ley able to get the body of the dead
boy Into the street. Holes In Riley's
coat thrown over the face of the
burned boy testify to the Intense heat
of the body, which was later taken
tc the morgue.
Store Completely Gutted
The lower part of the building.
two story frame structure, with store
on the ground floor and two living
rcoms above, was completely gutted.
Engine No. 5 is only three blocks from
the scene of the fire, but the place
vas a mass of- flames when It reached
the corner of First and Porter.
Several firemen on meal leave. who
were not supposed to be on duty at-
the time, rendered able, assistance in
putting out the fire.
Young Flnckelstein spoke but a few
words of English. He is survived by
a sister 25 years old. They made
their home at 230 Gibba street. Frank
Fiebiger, who ran a shoe repair shop
in the burned building, owned ,the
structure. Boxer, the proprietor of the
stbre, had his stock fully Insured.
