the i'resident's speech.
Id his address in the auditorium
today. President Roosevelt spoke
at some length of the remarkable
progress which has been made by
the South, and especially South
Carolina since the late war. He
emphasized the necessity of unity
of action between all of the people
of the United States in order that
the marvelous era of prosperity
which is now upon the country
might be perpetuated.
Probably, however, the portion j
of his address which was listened |
to with the closest attention and :
which called forth the most unstinted
applause, was that which
treated of the absolute disappearance
of all sectional lines in the
nation's feelings and utrection.
In this connection he said:
''It is to me a peculiar privilege
to speak here in your beautiful
city. My mother's people were
from Georgia: but before they
came to Georgia before the revolution,
in the days ol colonial rule,
they dwelt for nearly a century in
South Carolina: and therefore I
elriui your State as mine by inheritance.

Americans.
"Charleston is not only atypical
Southern city; it is also a city
whose history teems with events
which link themselves to American
history a? a whole. In the I
7 I
early colonial days Charleston was
the outpost of our people against
the Spaniards, in the South. In
the days of the revolution there
occurred here some of the events
which vitally affected the out
come of the struggle for independence,
and which impressed
themselves most deeply upon the
popular mind. It was hero that
the tremendous, terrible drama of
the Civil War opened.
"With a delicate and thoughtful
courtesy you originally asked

The invitation not only showed a
tine generosity and manliness in
you, my hosts, but it also em-,
phnsized how completely we are
now a united people. The wounds
left oy the great Civil War, incomparably
the gieatest war of
modern times, have healed and its
memories are now priceless heritages
of honor alike to the North
and to the South. The devotion,
the self sacrifice, the steadfast 1
resolution and lofty daring, tlio
hi?rh devotion to the right as each '
saw it, whether Northerner or 1
Southerner, all these qualities of '
the men and women of the early
sixties now shine luminous and

cise of more than an insignificant
fraction of our strength nud tlie
strain put upon us was slight indeed
compared with the results.
But it was a satisfactory thing
indeed to s.e the way in which
the sons of the soldiers of the
Union and the soldiers of the Confederacy
leaped eagerly forward,
; emulous to show in brotherly
rivalry the qualities which had
won renown for their fathers, the
j men of the great war. it was my
! good fortune to serve under an
ex-Confederate general, old .Joe
; Wheeler, who commanded the
| cavalry division at Santiago.
In my regiment there were
certainly as many men whose
lathers had s^rvmt in iim

ern as tIn-re were men whose
fathers had served in the Northem
army. Among the captains
there was opportunity to promote
but one to held tank. The man
who was singled out for this promotion
because ot conspicuous
gallantry in the Held, was the son
of a Confederate general and was
himself a citizen of this, the Palmetto
State: and uo American
officer could wish to march to
battle beside a more loyalt gallant
and absolutely fearless a comrade
than my former captain and major,
your fellow citizen, Micali Jenkins.
4'A few months ago, owing to
the enforced absence of the Governor
of the Philippines, it became
necessary to nominate a vice
Governor to take his place, one
of the most important places in
our government at this time, and
1 nominated as vice Governor an
ex-Confederate general, Luke I
Wright of Tennesseo. It is,
therefore, an ex-Contedera?e who i
now stands as the exponent of i
this government and this people
in that groat group of islands 111
the eastern seas over which the
American flag floats. General j
Wright has taken a leading part |
in the work of steadily bringing
order and peace out of the bloody
chaos in which we found the islands.

deed marvelous, in fact, a letter

seemed to show that ho considered
there was far more warfare about ;
tbe Philippines in this country
than there was warfare in the
Philippines themselves. It is an
added proof of the completeness
of the reunion ot our country that
one of the foremost mnn who hnm
been instrumental in driving forward
the great work for civilization
and humanity in the Philippines,
has been a man who, in the
Civil war fought with distinction
in a uniform of Confederate

Infatuated,
Detroit, April 10.?What the
police consider to be a strong link oi
in the chain of circumstancinl eridence
that they are weaving about ^
Prof. .Joseph M. Miller, aged 47, ! ?
a music teacher and a married man
with a family, who is under sus- ^
. . Si
picicn of brutally murdering Mias : jj
Carria M. Jennett, on Thirteenth L
street, just before midnight, was ^
uiseovesua tins evening. It is h ^
blood stained hatched which was ?
found in the drawer of a table in
Miller's kitchen. There is now w
the following circumstantial evi- ^
decco against Milter, who was the
girl's music teacher and Lad paid
her such marked attention that ^
her father had asked him to keep
away from the house. When ho
was examined at the Grand River !
avenue police station today what
are supposed to ho blood stains
were found on his shirt sleeves, !
hi9 trousers, shoes, hat and overcoat;
a towel was discovered in his
kitchen with what are supposed to
be blood stains on it; when lie was
asked for an explanation of the
stains on his clothing he gave 8{
none and finally the bloodstained t(
hatchet was found tonight. ! r
Alias Jonnett, who was 22 years ^
f age, and who would have be- ' ^
come a mother in a few months g
was most brutally done to death ^
just before 12 o'clock last night. ^
She was felled by a terrible blow ^
on the head, which broke her g
neck and her throat was cut from t(.
ear to ear. A blow from sorau
instrument made a hole in the ^
middle of her forhead and behind jp
her left ear was a deep stab wound ^
evidently made by the same in-1 rp
strumont that was used to cut her '
throat. In addition to these gash- \
wounds a heavy blow bad been ' ^
struck on the side of her face, ^
fracturing the cheek bone. Her'
mutilated body was found in this''
condition in a lonely spot on
Thirraenth street. It wis taken | ;
to the morgue and not identified !
until this morning
Miss Jennett left h' r home last
evening to attend a meoting of ^
the Rebekah Lodge, of which she fc
was a member. She left the meet- p]
iug about 10 o'clock and was not to
seen again alive. Her parents jn
were alarmed at her not coming di
home and when they heard of the th
murder became fearful that it (>
might be their daughter. Mr. ^
Jennett hurried to the morgue and jn
thorc identified the mutilated
body. The police were working
on the case and questioned him
about the girl, lie told them of
her infatuation for Prof. Milled ?

and the teacher was placed under
