PRESIDENT PRESSES BUTTON The President Introduced by Presi dent Tucker, of the Exposition Company, Who Declared That the : Executive's Name Would go_ Down in History os the Greatest Advo cate of the Great Event. Norfolk, . y?., - Special.-President R??sev?Tty the diplomaEic, naval and military representative of S7 of- Lho nations of tue wprld. and the Govern ors of a score of States', participated .tu the opening; execises of the James town Ter-centenuial 'Exposition. While the exposition, which is to re main open until November 30th next, is still far from complete, the un finished condition of buildings and: grounds was not allowed to interfere in any way with* the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the first English settlement in Ameri ca. . From the firing of a salute of 100 guns by. the United States army, through the picturesque beauty of the review of the international fleet of war vessels anchored in / Hampton .IJgads, through the ceremonies of dedication at which the President spoke and. down to a'late "hour when the' .chief'/executive repaired aboard ?he naval yacht Sylph t?4 spend_tbe night *ih the lower bay,'the day was crowded with notable incident. .Not ; the. least impressive of the day's events was the quick action of the President in assuming command of the situation in front of the crowd ed grandstand from which he spoke when a panic seized the surging throng of spectators. Pressed against the guard ropes by thousands of eag er persous in the rear of the gather ing who were forcing their way for ward, the safety of life and limb of those who had the more favored posi tions were endangered. President Rosevelt had just been introduced by Harry St. George Tucker, the head of the Jamestown Expositon Company, when the disorder and unrest in the crowd reached its height and the civil guards in front of \'ie grandstand seemed about to be swept from theil posts. With ..the agility of a school boy,-the President jumped upon the table '"which had been placed in the speaker's -balcony and waving his arms cried out to the men of Vir ginia to live up to their traditions of galantry and cease .the pushing and crowding which was threatening the lives/of the women and children in i the -'asemjblage, a throng which all but blocked the big grass-covered plaza known as Lee's Parade.

Sea-' men from the visiting fleets were ex pected to take part in the parade, but the difficulties of landing on the un completed grounds prevented. The pa rade was quickly over and a reception by the President in the auditiorium brought the day's events at the fair orou?ds to a close. '. The addresses of President Roose velt and President T?cher of thc Jamestown Exposition Company were both nf a high order and were atten tively listened to by an immense crowd of people. The opening cere monies were, fully up to the highest expectations of those in attendance. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. President Roosevelt, bein? intro duced, delivered a strong and patriot ic address to the immense ' throng present. His speech was of too great length to be given here in full. The following, however, are some of his most striking thoughts. "At the outset I wish to say a word of special greeting to the representa tives of the foreign governments here present. Thy have- come to assist ns in celebrating what was in very truth the birthday of this nation, for it was hore, that the colonists, first set tled, whos.e incoming, whose growth from their own loins and by the addi tion of newcomers from abroad, was to make the people which 160 years hiter assumed the solemn responsibili ties and weighty duties of complete independence. "Again, let me bid'vou welcome, i-epresentativcs of our sister republics ff this continent. In the larger as pect, your interests and ours are iden tical. Your problems and ours are in Iorgo part the same; and as we strive to settle them, I pledge you herewith cn the part of this nation the heart iest friendship and good will." "Finally, let me say a special word of greeting to those representatives^ thc Asiatic nations who make up thal newest East which is yet thc most ancient East, the East of time im memorial. In particular, let rae ex press a word of hearty welcome tc the representatives of thc mighty is land empire of Japan; that empire, which, in learning from the West, has shown that it had so much, so ver> much, to teach the West in return. "To all of you here gathered I ex press my thanks for your coming, ano I. extend to you "my earnest wishes for tho welfare of your several na tions." ".We have met today to celebrate the opening ot* thc exposition whict itself commemorates the first per manent settlement of -men of oui stock in Virginia, the first beginjiinj of what has since become this mighty republic.

Mobile, -.Ala., Special-President W. W. findley, of the Southern Ballway delivered an address before a large number of representative-busi ness men uudeV the auspices of the Mobile Commercial Club. He was introduced'. ;by Vice President E. L. Russell, of the Mobile & Ohio Rail road. President Finlay said in part: "The commerce of the United States with!the Latin-American coun tries is np>v growing more rapidly than that with any other part of the world and the completion, of the Panama canal wil give a great im petus to the. development of all the countries soyth ?f the Rio Grande. "There are only two ways of reach ing marketsif-rail and water. Neith er is Sufficient alone. Water trans portation is 'liot adequate for interior commerce, npr by itself for coaswise or for forest commerce. - Rail trans portation miijst stop at the shores of the sea. ?t ?. . , "It would-be jiist as logical for the people to array themselves against water transportation or to undertake to hamper, and cripple it as it is for them to arja^themselves against rail roads and toifkvor success which will hamper 'and ^ripple them. "I think it: is apparent that any public policy i/toward- the railroads which limits.rtheir power to increase their facilities, and their carrying ca pacity to keep pace with, or to even anticipate th?- active production . of the Southern; people, is destructive of the best interests-of the vital inter ests-of the people themselves; "It is unnecessary to point out TO intelligent business men that thc pow er of railroads to increase their fa cilities is dependent upon their earn ing capacity a:nd their credit or ?hat their credit is dependent upon sus tained earning capacity. The roads cannot expect to earn enough from their current -operations to provide themselves with the facilities abso lutely essential in the interest of our people.. The monev must be borrow ed- . . "I do not believe, that, with a full knowledge of the facts and with a full appreciation of the destructive consequences.to. the railroads, to their revenues, and to their . capacity fo serve the public, either the Govern or the Legislature would have favor ed the legislation in question and when the true facts are known, I.have supreme confidence that the course of this company and of other Alabama u-ii-y ? aiteniuun, uui>K.piace ?rom the home of his father, Sheriff M. K. Estes, in the village of Lovingston. It was conducted by the pastor of the Lovingston Methodist church. Rev. H. F. B. Martin. The burial services were in charge of Lovingston Lodge, No. 265. of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which the young man was a member. Dragging Story Questioned. At "first the drugging story was ac cepted without question, but non there are persons who hold that the only drug used in accomplishing Miss Loving's downfall was whiskey. The Estes and those in sympathy willi them deny that there was an assault, and point to vouncr Estes' behaviour after his return as inconsistent with any other view. He himself procured the physician for the young lady, and the next day went about his business with entire, unconcern. General re gret is expressed that Judge Loving did not allow young Estes an oppor tunity to explain, and some say that he shot too soon. ' Criticism, has been made of the smallness of the bail bond. The case bids fair to excite as much interest in this section as thc Strother-Bywaters - tragedy. Salaries of Rural Carriers. Washington, Special.-Postmaster General Meyer has approved the de tailed adjustment of salaries of rural free delivery cariers, as submitted by Assistant Postmaster General Do Graw, and the new schedule which will become effective Julyl next will make a graded increase in the com pensation of carriers of from 9 lo 25 per cent., based upon the number of miles traversed by carriers . as shown by the records of the Depart ment. .

Application for bail was refused. Two-Cent Passenger Rate. Richmond, Va., Special.-The State corporation commission has handed down a decision in ' the rate cases b\ which after July 1, passenger rates op trunk lines are reduced to twe cents per mile, on their feeders rt 2 1-2 cents, on certain minor roads they will be three and on one or twe lines 3 1-2 cents.

Great Pier in Baltimore Harbor Tumbles In THREE DEAD AND 16 MISSING General Superintendent Edson, bf Baltimore Bridge Company, Among the Injured, Being Caught While Warning Workmen, off the Pier.

Among the last named is ,W. N. Edson, general superintendent of Ihe Baltimore Bridge Company, which had charge" of the steel con struction. He was caught while warning the workmen off the pier. The dead so far as known are: Howard L. Eilender, Baltimore, Engineer. Tony Wolf, Baltimore. Robert Sweetman, Woodberry. Eilender lost his life trying to save [ the men on the outer end of the pier. Superintendent Edson, who was in jured in the performance of the same vessel, was not seriously hurt. All the victims were employes of the Baltimore Bridge Company. This was a two-story building 1,000 feet ! long and its estimated cost was $400, 000. About 4S0 feet of it sank. Warning of the disaster was heard several days ago when' the piles to ward the end of the pier began set tling and vigorous efforts were being made to save the structujl?. Saturday shortly before the disas ter occurred the piles began settling in such an alarming manner that or ders to leave the place were circulat ed among the fifty odd workmen and it is due to this fact that the casual ties were not greater. Those caught were on the end of the pier on \he roof. The falling of the pier into the water created a tremendous wave in the harbor and led many persons lo believe there had been an earthquake. At Speddens ship yard, directly across the harbor from Locust Point, the water suddenly dropped eight feet, throwing two men overboard from a marine railway. They were rescued with difficulty.'

Child Labor Bill Passed. Tallahassee, Fla., Special-The Senate passed the child labor bill by a majority of two and the measure is now to go before the House. Sentiment against child labor has been carefully nurtured in Florida by the labor unions, for in no city ex cept Tampa is child labor employed to any degree. A strong lobby has worked against the measure on the ground that it would legalize the idle ness of the negro youth, which is profitably employed in the fish and oyster factories along the coast. It is likely that the measure will pass the House. Bitten by Mad Dog. Springfield, Special-Pete Duncan, of the Tenth District of this coun'.y, was attacked and severely bitten by a mad dog last week.
