CROWD THREATENS TO
CRUSH REVIEWING STAND
President Forced fo Call on
People to Behave and Troops
Help Him Greatest Naval
Review in Recent Years,
By Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va., April 2C Presidont
Roosovolt,thc diplomats, naval and mil
itary representatives of foreign nations
and tho governors of scores of states
participated today in tho opening exer
cises of tho Jamestown Tercentennial
exposition. Tho exposition is far from
completo, but this was not allowed to
interfere with today's celebration of
tho three hundredth anniversary of tho
first English settlement in Amorlca.
From the firing of the sunrise salute
of threo hundred guns by tho United
States army, through tho picturcsquo
review of the international fleet of war
vessels anchored in Hampton roads,
through tho ceremonies of dedication
at which tho president spoke, down to
a late hour tonight, when tho chief
executive went qboaril tho naval yacht
Sylph to spend tho night, the day was
crowded with notable incident.
Spectators in Panic
Chief among tho day's events was
the action of tho president in assuming
command of tho situation in front of
tho crowded grand stand from which
ho spoke when a panic seized tho surg
ing throng of spectators. Pressed
against the guard rojes by thousands
of eager persons, the safety of those
who had more favorable positions was
endangered.
The president had just been intro
duced by Harry St. George Tucker, the
head of tho exposition eompany, when
the disorder and unrest reached its
height and tho civil guards in front of
the grand stand seemed about to be
swept from their posts. Tho president
jumped on a table which had been
placed on the speaker's balcony and
cried out to the men of Virginia to
live up to tho traditions of gallantry
andl cease tho pushing and crowding
whieli was threatening tho lives of tho
women and children in tho assemblage.
The crowd heeded tho president's warn
ing, but when he had sottled down into
his speech, the immense audienco be
came uneasy again and thoso on the
outskirts began to press forward in
their anxiety to hear.
Cavalry Is Called
The president was interrupted and
mounted officers and men of tho United
States cavalry were called in to; take
charge. They rodo up and down along
tho front of tho crowd- and gradually
relieved tho pressure which at ono time
threatened to hurl an avalanche of hu
manity against tho president's stand
and the boxes occupied by diplomats.
A detachment of artillerymen was
also called into scrvico and thousands
of. people settled into a peaceful assem
blage. Apparently oblivious to tho unusual
situation ho occupied on top of a some
what shaky table, tho president mado
his speech. Tho impromptu and un
steady platform did not interfcro in the
slightest degree with tho characteristic
vigor of his delivery. Some of his re
marks, noticeably when ho touched up
on tho subject of tho recent peace con
gress in New York, were addressed to
tho representatives of the many na
tions of tho world, others were empha
sized to tho soldiers and sailors and
other thoughts directed toward tho gen
eral public.
The- military camped about tho expo
sition grounds began tho day's cere
monies with tho firing of a three-century
salute. ' Soon from across the waters
of Hampton Roads came tho boom of
guns signalling tho beginning of the
review by tho president of tho most
formidablo fleet of international battle
ships and cruisers tho world has wit
nessed in many years.
President Saluted
On board tho yacht Mayflower tho
president was greeted first by a" round
of twenty-one guns from each of tho
vessels, foreign and American. Then,
as tho Mayflower steamed along tho
lano of men-of-war, he was saluted
individually by every battleship and
cruiser anchored in tho roadstead.
"When the yacht had anchored amidst
tho naval lino tho president received
aboard the flag and commanding offi
cers of tho foreign fleets and homo
squadrons. Among thoso who called
was Admiral Sir Gcorgo Neville, com
manding tho British cruiser squadron;
Commodoio Kalau Yon Hofe, command
ing the German cruisers; Commodore
Hermann Von Plescott, commanding the
Austrian ships and the commanding offi
cer of the Argontino ship Sarmiento.
Tho hospitality of tho nation was ex
tended by tho president, who in turn
received many expressions of esteem
in which ho personally and tho Amer
ican peoplo aro held by foreign nations.
Lands at Exposition
Tho president landed on tho exposi
tion grounds shortly after 11 o'clock.
Tho immenso government piers under
going construction aro still many weeks
from completion and it was with diffi
culty that the way was cleared for
even tho light launches in which tho
president and naval officers mndo tho
journey to tho shore. Booming cannon
again greeted tho president as ho step
ped ashore.
President Tuckor of tho exposition
personally welcomed the president, who
with Mrs. Roosevelt was driven to tho
grand stand botweon two Hues of sol
diers from tho Twenty-third infantry.
Tho infantrymen in open fllo covered
tho ontiro course of tho president's
lrivo from tho shore front to tho place
of tho inaugural eoremonios. Tho cen
ter box of tho stand was assigned to
tho president and family.
Tho coremonies wore brief, tho fea
tures being addresses by President
Tuckor and President Roosevelt. Tho
latter, at tho conclusion of his address,
pressed tho gold button which formally
marked tho opening of tho commomor
ativo enterprise. Then followed an in
formal luncheon to tho president and
his guests at tho administration build
ing. Tho president lator reviewed tho
parade of United States soldiers and
sailors. Tho parado was quickly over
and the reception by tho president in
tho auditorium brought the day's ev
ents to a close.
Eccoptiou Follows
After tho president haitahnkon hands
with tho invited guests tho doors were
thrown opon to tho gouernl public. The
president stood in line moro thnu an
hour. Tonight tho president and Mrs.
Roosevelt were guests of honor at
dinner given by President Tucker.
At 10 o'clock tonight tho president
returned to tho Sylph and the yacht
flipped down tho bay ready to proceed
early tomororw to tho old Jamestown
lottlomcnt up the James river. Tho
president's trip tomorrow will be pri

EL PASO POLICE
I
Believed that They Have One
of the Mexicans Who Killed
Plunkett and Kennedy,
MURDER AT LIVINGSTONE
ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO
Thought that Martinez, Arrest
ed in Pass City, Is One of
Men Who Worked for the
Ranchers Before the Crime,
A telegram was receivod at tho sher
iff's office yesterday from El Paso stat
ing that Ricardo Martinez, suspected
of being ono of tho two Mexicans who
murdered Pluukett and Kennody, the
Livingstono ranchors, almost two years
ago, had been captured in that city.
Tho telegram was from Chief of Polico
Campbell, who wished to bo advised
if tho man was wanted here. Sheriff
Thompson immediately wired for detail
ed information of the capture and for
a description of tho man, and if a satis
factory reply is received, an officer will
bo sent for Mnrtinoz tomorrow, if ex
tradition proceedings will be wnived by
tho Mexican. Shoriff Thompson believes
that Martinez is ono of the two men
who worked for Plunkett and who after
tho erimo disappeared.
Plunkett and Kennedy were murdered
on July 12, 1905, tho crime being one
of tho most bloody in the history of tho
county, being surpassed only by tho
recont Roosovolt tragedy. Tho bodies
of both men were found badly bruised
and lacerated and it was later lcarnc-1
that robbery had been tho motive. Six
arrests wcro mado for tho crime at
different times, but only ono man came
to trial. He was Felipe Sanchez, who
after being kept in jail for many
months was liberated last fall.
All Suspects Treed
Cruz Morolos and T-'sciquio Rivera,
who wcro arrested in tho southern part
of tho territory as ' suspects, wcro
brought to Globe, but eventually dis
charged. Later Christopher Gonzales
was arrested at Alamogordo, N. M.,
and it was thought that ho was the
right man. Ho was indicted by tho
grand jury, but no conviction could be
obtained. Asuncion Samanica was ar
rested in February, 1000, but lie was
also discharged. Panteleon Ortega, who
conducted a saloon in Globe, was ar
rested shortly after tho crime as an
accessory, as thcro was strong evidence
that he assisted tho murderers to escape,
but again lack of evidence resulted in
a dismissal.
Several months after tho crime was
committed it was learned that two Mex
icans strongly suspected of tho crime
wcro employed at Minas Prietas, a So
nora mining camp. Former Captain
Rynnjng of tho rangers went there to
sccuro the men, but both had gotten
wind of. his coming and had fled to
some camp farther south. Martinez.,
tho man arrested at El Paso, is believed
to be ono of thcso men.

curgus L. Lindsay of this city for tho
recovery of $2,250,000, alleging conver
sion of funds obtained in tho salo of

Interested in tho suit are Thomas F.
Cole, the copper magnate of J)uluth,
and W. W, Esterbrook of Nashua, N.

sociates of $2,000,000, tho balance due
on tho property. Randolph now alleges

mont and that his stock had been sold.

LIE PASSED BETWEEN
OPPOSING ATTORNEYS
Judge Forced to Interfere when
Defendant's Attorney Insin

Ananias Club Candidate,
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 20. The ques
tion of whether Binger Hermann, for
mer member of congress and former
joramissioner of the land office, is guil
ty of the destruction of public records,
was placed in the hands of the jury
this afternoon at tho conclusion of the
twelfth week of the trial.
Argument in the case culminated in
the lie being passed between opposing
counsel. Justice Stafford administered
a severe reprimand, saying that he
should regard any further colloquy be
tween counsel as contempt of court and
would act accordingly.
The- incident which aroused tho iro of
Attorney Worthington for the defense
was the reference made bv Prosecutor
Baker to tho testimony of Mrs. Her
mann, wire 01 tho defendant. Baker
asked the jury if thev noticed Worth
ington 's face when Mrs. Hermann was -asked
if she had discussed with anv
one the testimony she was to give.

"Do you mean to insinuate that I in
any way signalled to the witness during
tho testimony. IKyou do it is abso
lutely a lie," interjected Worthington
with much heat.
"Oh." replied Baker. "I simnlv
mean your face turned red that you
blushed." ( j . .
"That is false." shouted Worthing
ton.
Mr. Baker concluded with a scithirnr
denunciation of the. defendant, saying
tuat after six years of dishonesty as
commissioner of tho land Office, he had
destroyed thirty-five letter press books
to conceal the traces of his dishonesty.
Upon receiving the charge the jury
at once retired. Justice-Stafford, after
waiting more than an hour and receiv
ing no sign or a conclusion, then went

Gold Camp Three Miles South
of Globe Where Yellow Dust
Is Washed Out
Most Globe people will bo surp-iscd
to learn that there is a gold mining
camp within threo miles of the city. It
is a bona fide placer proposition, al
though it has never succeeded in get
ting into print. John Pascoe and Bob
Henry, both Globe men, are the owners
of tho camp and they have been wash
ing tho dirt for tho yellow dust for
several months past.
The camp is three miles south t-f
Globe on government land adjoining
tho old Anderson ranch. Messrs. I'as
coo and Henry have built a flumo a
mile and a half long which brings the
water for sluicing around the hill from
Pinal creek. It is not known how much
gold hns been taken out of the ground
there, and, according to tho owners, the
work has not been very satisfactory
owing to the fact that much of tho gold
