One of the pair was caught at once, though she bit and scratched vigorously, but the other got away for a short time. Their tent was found to be made of bits of carpets and blankets bound together with twine and slung over a ridge pole supported by forked sticks. There were many empty milk bottles about and the girls were about to eat a fat steak and some potatoes they had filched. When the prisoners were arraigned before Police Magistrate Smith in Long Island City Rose Miller, who is a tall, rather handsome girl, explained quite plausibly that utter weariness of housework had driven them to tramp life.

TRIBUTE TO M' KIN LEY

Roosevelt Takes Part ia Dedication of Monument. AT THE CANTON TOMB Mausoleum the Finest Ever Erected for Any President. THOUSANDS ATTEND CEREMONY. Memorial Is Nation's Gift to Mem' ory of Martyred Executive. Canton, Ohio, never before played the host to such a large number of distinguished Americans and so many thousands of other guests as came Monday to participate in or witness the ceremonies attending the dedication of the McKinley memorial on Monument Hill, in West Lawn cemetery. President Roosevelt arrived, shortly after 10 o'clock on a special train, and was greeted at the station by a crowd that blocked the streets In every direction. Other special trains rushed thousands into the city, Including governors of States, Senators and Congressmen, mayors and other civic authorities from all over Ohio and adjoining States. The leading feature of the day's celebration was the dedication of the beautiful granite structure In which the bodies of the murdered President and his wife will lie. From the speakers stand at the foot of the broad steps leading up to the monument President Roosevelt delivered his eulogy of McKinley before a throng of people that filled every inch of the open space and overflowed far Into the adjoining part of the cimetery. Justice W. R. Day, president of the memorial association, and Governor Harris also made speeches, and James Whltcomb Riley read a poem. The heroic bronze monument of Mr. McKinley was unveiled by Miss Helen McKinley, his sister. The parade through the streets of Canton was the most impressive ever witnessed in the city. For miles the marching ranks passed In a narrow lane through solid banks of spectators, sweeping past the reviewing stand In West Public Square, where stood President Roosevelt and other distinguished visitors. Tho McKinley tomb, around which centered the impressive ceremonial of the day, is1 the most elaborate monument erected over the last resting place of any of the country's Presidents. It typifies both the affection of all the people and the devotion of his personal .friends, for Its cost was defrayed by the general public, while those close to the President in his lifetime collated a fund of $100,000, which will assure the maintenance of the mausoleum In perfect repair for generations. ' , West Lawn cemetery, where the monument stands, is od the outskirts of Oanton,' and the lofty structure, on the crest of a hill, may be seen for miles, and from the passing trains which carry travelers to and from the "home town" of McKinley. It was not long after Mr McKlnley'a death that the movemcn: to erect a mighty and impressive tomb was launched. As the first step the McKinley National Memorial Association was formed and $000,000 was raised by popular subscription. With a part of the fund twenty-six acres In the cemetery was purchased. A number of architects were invited to submit designs for a mausoleum, and that prepared by II. Van Buren Magonigle of New York was selected. The structure that la the result rises to a height of 103 feet and at the base is seventy-nlno feet in diameter. The exterior Is ol pink Mllford granite. Within, the walla are faced with light- gray Knoxville marble. The structure is lighted only from above and the shaft of sunlight which penetrates the twilight of the mausoleum and falls upon (the great sarcophagus adds beauty to the solemn, fcilent room. The double sarcophagus which holds the bodies of Mr. McKinley and his wife is constructed of brick and cement, with an exterior of polished black mar ble. The two caskets, exactly alike, are of bronze and arc of great weight. x The mausoleum stands in what is in reality a park of Its own. From Its facade on the edge of the hill a broad granite stairway sweeps downward, broken by four landings to the "long water" which stretches from the base of the hill and mirrors the glistening tomb and long white stairway. The hill itself has been cut into four terraces, and at its base is a broad plaza encircled by a low parapet wall.

MAY' BECOME AMBASSADOR.

CouVt of St. Jumes Said to De to Rooscvclt'N Liking;. The latest of many suggestions for the benefit of Theodore Roosevelt, as an ex-President, comes from London, where it is said to have been discussed In the fashionable clubs. It attributes to Mr. Roosevelt a desire to round out nn extended tour of the world by a considerable residence in the British capital as ambassador to the court of St. James. Very likely the President has men tioned this as something that would be to his liking, although It is doubted in Washington whether he has ever seri ously considered it. He docs contem plate quite a trip abroad, after March 4. 1000. At times he ha3 dwelt with no little anticipation upon the things he would find pleasure in doing after offi cial cares have been lifted from his shoulders. Ile and Mrs. Roosevelt have planned more than one trip they want to take when he has become a private citizen again. Possibly foremost in these plans Is the visit to the capitals of the old world. They were married In London, and both have traveled extensively In Europe. They are very desirous of go ing again, of revisiting old scenes and old friends and of nuiking new friends. They will hardly make suh a triumphal tour as ex-President Grant made, but Mr. Roosevelt would like to meet a few of the European rulers with whom he has been in communication more or less since he entered the White House. He would enjoy that probably quite as much as some of the big hunting trips for large game that he has, in mind. However, the President up to a few months ago was known to cherish strong hope of an election to the United States Senate from New York. He likes residence in Washington a portion of the year. As a Senator he would continue to have official prominence, and could divide his time between Washington and New York or nny city that might interest him. He will undoubtedly do a great amount of literary work in the few years following h's retirement from the Presidency, and Washington Is a very congenial city for such efforts. STRANGLER ADMITS CRIME. Xsrro ConfvMf to Marder of Sirs. Grant in Chicago. Richard Watson, the negro murderer of Mrs. Lillian White Grant of Chicago, confessed to his crime at the Hyde Park police station. He smiled broadly and was m 'no way abashed by the fiendish recital, which poured easily from his lips. Witty the confession of the murder came a dramatic Te-enactment of the crime in the office of Captain Mc Weene j of the Hyde Park station, in which Police InMCIIARD WALTON. spector Nicholas Hunt impersonated the strangled woman, while the negro knot ted his huge black hands above the po lice official's throat in demonstration of the manner in which the crime was done. Gen." Coxey'a Stw Cronade. "Gen." J. S. Coxey, who some years ago led a sensational march on Wash ington, is now out with a new scheme, the main feature of which is the absorp tion and operation by the State of rail roads and other utilities necessary to the people's welfare. lis idea is to have these holdings taken over by the States, payment being made by the issue of longterm bonds, these latter being deposited with the federal government in return for an issue of currency to the face value of the securities less 1 per cent for the expense of flotation. He thinks that this loan could be repaiJ and the entire ex penses of the State met by the revenues accruing from the operation of the public utilities, thus making a direcr tax levy on private property unnceessarj. He would in a similar manner extend his idea to counties and municipalities. He declares the idea of controlling the big corporations while their ownemiip rests with private interests absurd, and says that public ownership will be the verita ble salvation of the country. Coxey is said to have amassed considerable prop erty since his famous "march." Sparks from the Wires Captain Einil Francke of the steamship Dakota, which was wrecked on the Japanese coast March 3, is censured severely in a letter written him by George Uhler, suitcrvising inspector general of the steamboat inspection service. At the session of the synod of Ohio of the Evangelical Lutheran churches in Washington, D. C, the need of more ministers was discussed, and each congre gation was urged to send at least one young man from Its membership to the ministry. Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough, who is separated from her husband, is expected to sail from England Oct. 10 to visit her mother, Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont of New York. Henry T.

TALKS IN THE SOUTH.

PRESIDENT BOOMS DEEP WATER WAY AT MEMPHIS. Given Great Ovation In Historic Sonthern City Acknowledge i recti Ii: Amid Din of Exploding llonibn, Siren AVhinOea nnd Cheers. The most remarkable public demonstration in the history of the historic Southern city of Memphis took place Friday when the Lakes-to-the-Gulf waterways ilotilla, bearing President Roosevelt, rounded Hopeficld bend in the Mississippi just above the city and moved slowly down the stream toward its docks. The bank on that side of the stream at which the boats were to moor was literally aflüme with the national colors. Packed behind this brilliant bulwark were 40,000 men, women and children foregathered from uli the country within a radius of forty miles. As the boats came into sight a wave of cheers swept in a rising crescendo over the crowd and an instant later the sirens of a thousand steamboats stretching over two miles along the shore burst into jubilation. When the boats came near enough so that ob jects could be distinguished President Roosevelt was seen standing on the top deck of the vessel in the lead. Then the din broke loose afresh. A score of Itombs were set off and the crowd shouted itself hoarse. ' The President, still standing on the upikt deck of the government boat, acknowledged the greetings while the vessel was still in mid-stream, and the cheering continued until he had been escorted from the steamer Into his car riage and the parade through the streets began. Between packed mass es of yelling, cheering humanity, the parade wended its way until Court Square had been reached, whore the Presidential carriage was stopped and the Chief Executive listened to water ways anthem, "Fourteen Feet Through the Valley," as sung by 3,000 school children attired In uniform costume and each waving a small American flag. The effect of the picture was most striking and the President was visibly impressed. The address of the President at the convention, In which he strongly advocated the deep waterways plan, was enthusiastically received. A distinguished array of Congressmen of both houses, the Governors of twenty-three States of the inland waterways com mission and delegates to the number of 4,000, besides many spectators in the general gallery of the hall, heard the President sieak and joined in the ap plause. In his speech the President proudly announced it was a Roosevelt who ran the first steamboat on the biz river. He reiterated that the undesirable citi zen. Is still undesrrable. He told the people he had no excuse to offer for his former declaration. President Roosevelt was strong for deep water and also took an excursion Into a new field. He wants the jioople to be better farmers and not let the hillside wash Into the streams. He advocated intelli gent farming and saving of the forests and the utilization of water power in manufacturing. A dil re nt St. Louis. Among the impressive sentences In the President's St. Louis address were the following: The chief economic question of the day in this country is to provide a sovereign for the great corporations engaged in in terstate business ; that is, for the rail road and the interstate industrial corporations. CJreat capitalists have shown extreme unwisdom in their violent oppo sition to the assumption of complete eon trol over the railroads by the federal government. As national commercial agents the big interstate railroads ought to be completely subject to nationa authority. Only thus can we secure their complete subjection to, and control by, a single sovereign, representing the whole people. I ask that the national powers already conferred upon the national governmeht by the constitution shall be so used as to bring national commerce and industry effectively under the federal government and thereby avert industrial chaos. My plea is not to .bring about centralization. It is that 'the government shall recognize a condition of centralization in a field where it already exists. On the lower courses of the Mississippi the nation should do its full share in the work of levee building. If we are able to keep up substantially the rate of progress that now obtains we shall finish the actual digging of the Panama canal within five or six years. Point Made nt Cairo. In his speech at Cairo the President said: The policy of "peace with insult" is the very worst policy upon which It is possible to embark, whether for a nation or an individual. I think that the excellent people who have complained of our policy as hurting business have shown much the same spirit as the child who regards the dentist and not the ulcerated tooth as the real source of its woe. If a man is afraid to hold his own, if he will submit tamely to wrongdoing, he is contemptible. If he is a bully, an oppressor, a inan who wrongs or insults others, he is even worse tnd should be hunted out of the community. Well, all this is just as true of a nation as of an individual. The, best way to parry is to hit no fight can ever be won except by hitting and we can only hit by means of the navy. The navy must be built and all its training riven in time of peace. When once war has broken out it is too late to do anything. We believe in a real, not a sham, democracy. We believe in a democracy as regards political rights, as regards education, and, finally, as regards industrial conditions. We have definitely taken our place among the groat world powers and it would be a sign of weakness, having taken such a place, to shirk its responsibilities. Therefore, unless we are willing to abandon this place, to abandon our insistence upon the Monroe dot-trine, to give up the Panama canal, and to be content to acknowledge oursi lves a weak, timid nation, we mn-t steadily build up and maintain a great fighting navy.

Collections, while still dragging, in consonance with the tightness in money, appear to have improved at a number of centers. Some orders for early spring are being placed, but' the volume of business done as yet is rather light. Many industrial lines are less active on new business, and working forces in such lines as iron, steel, car manufacturing, electrical goods, shoe manufacturing and copper mining are being reduced. Lumber is less active and new building is lighter, due in part to the approach of the closed season, but more particularly to the string aicy in money.

SPEAKS AT KEOKUK.

ROOSEVELT INSISTS THERE IS BUT ONE LAW FOR ALL. Telia Iovran Common Good Mast Come Ahead ot Financier' Wihe Favor Improving Water Way to Give Cheap Transportation. The great movement for a deep water way from Chicago to the gulf was given new impetus when President Roosevelt arrived in Keokuk, made an address and embarked on a steamboat for the trip . to St. Louis. From there he went to Memphis, where he addressed the dele gates to the Deep Waterways convention. The President was introduced by Gov. Cummins of Iowa. Mr. Roosevelt said. In part: I believe so implicitly In the future of our people, because I believe tnt the tverage American cttiien will no more tolerate government by a mob than he will tolerate government by a plutocracy ; that he desires to see Justice done and Justice exacted from rich man and poor man alike. We arc not trying to favor any man at the expense of his fellows. . We are trying to shape things so that as far as possible each man shall have a fair chance in life; so that he shall have, so far as by law this can be accomplished, the chance to chow the stuff that there is in him. Therefore we need wise laws, and we need to baTe them resolutely administered. At intervals durinr the last few months the appeal has been nade to me not to en force the law against certain wrongdoers of great wealth because to do so wouid In-' terfere with the business prosperity of the country. Under the effects of that kind of fright, which when sufficiently acute we call panic, this appeal has been made to me evea by men who ordinarily behave at decent citizens. I do not admit that this has been the mao cause of any business troubles we have had, but It is possible tlat it has been a contributory cause. If so, friends, as far as I am concerned it must be accepted as a disagreeable but unavoidable feature in a course of policy which as Ions as I am President will not be changed. In each case the answer must be that we earnestly hope aad believe that there will be no permanent damage to business from the movement, but that if righteousness conflicts with the fancied needs of business, then the latter must go to the wall. If a man does well, if he acts honestly, he has nothing to fear from this administration. Hat so far as In me lies the corrupt politician, great or small, the private citizen who transgresses the law be he rich or poor shall be brought before the impartial Justice of a court. I feel that we cannot have too many highroads and that In addition to the iron highroads of our railway system we should &lno utilize the great river highways which hive been given as by nature. From a variety of causes these highways have in many parts of the country been almost abandoned. This is not healthy. Our people, and especially the representatives of the people in the national congress, should give their most careful attention to this subject. We should be prepared to put the nation collectively back of the movetie nt to Improve them for the nation's use. Our knowledge at this time Is not auch as to permit me to go into details or to a j uruuiicij juai nun iuc umiuu ruuutu do; but most assuredly our great navigable rivers are national assets Just as much as our great seacoast harbors. Exactly as It la for the Interest of all the country that our great harbors should be fitted to receive in safety the larget vessels of the merchant fleets of the world, so by deepening and otherwise oar rivers should be fitted to bear tbtlr part in the movement of our merchandise, and this is especially true of the Mississippi and its tributaries, which drain the immense and prosperous region which makes In very fact the heart of our nation : the basin of the great lakes being already united with the lsln of tie Mississippi and bath re'gions beinf Identical In their products an.l interest. Waterways are peculiarly CtteJ for the transportation of the bulky commodities which come from the soil or ander the soil, and no other part of our country is as fruitful as U this in such commodities. . At present the ordinary farmer holds his, own In the land as against any possible representative of the landlord class of farmer that is. of the men who would own vast estates because the ordinary farmer unites his capital, his labor and bis brains with the making of a permanent family home, an'l thus can afford to bold bis land at a value at which it cannot be held fcy the capitalist, mho would have to run it by leasing It or by cultivating it at arm's length with hired labor. There is one thing I put next to a food citizen, said the President, cnd that is a good mother. I am pleased to tee the children. A number of war veterans had met the President at the station and inarched in the parade to the park, and to these wearers of the blue the President also paid a compliment, saying: I am particularly glad to be welcomed y the veterans." President Roosevelt interposed several remarks into his address. He touched on the subject of undesirable citizens briefly, saying: "You will remember that a year ago I expressed my opinion of certain undesirable citizens and I stand by what I haid." He added that he would always condemn the man that incites to murder and would demand punishment for that offense, as he would for the crimes of the corporation criminals. At the conclusion of his address the President was presented with a goldheaded cane by the negroes of Keokuk. Peace Conference Topics) Again. The question of the limitation of armaments having been disposed of with the mildest kind of resolution, suggesting that the different governments consider the matter, The Hague conference entered upon a new stage with Rritish, American, German and French delegations combining against Russia, Belgium and others who are anxious to terminate the conference. America, England and Germany greed on a scheme for the establishment f an international prize court, which i3 also acceptable to France and certain of adoption. A new feature of this scheme is that the prize court will be a part of the permanent arbitration court, and therefore does not presuppose the existence of war. This further strengthened the case in behalf of a permanent court by showing that it would have important work to do. , Teleg;raphlc Brevitle.

Investigation of an alleged effort to smuggle $10,000 worth of pearls is under way by the customs officials at New York. The pearls are the property of a California dealer. Federal laws to guarantee the purity of dairy products entering interstate commerce probably will be recommended to Congress by the President as a result of recent investigations made by the Department of Agriculture.
