As the president aliglited from the train he was recelved by Superintendént Wain- wright and his ald, Lieutenant H. J. Stegemier. A battalion of marines under command of Captain Lucas was drawn up at the station. The party proceeded In carriages to the academy grounds, the President going directly to the superin- lendent’s house, where there was a sl.ort Wait to permit the assembling of the cadet battalion at the .chapel. . The day was most propitious, and the cadets in their uniforms presented a fine appear- ance. A great crowd gathered around the granastand, where the cadets were to re- celve at the hands of the President the diplomas which would make them officers in the United States navy. The graduating class. discarded their guns and accouterments and advanced close to the platform. President Roose- velt then addressed them, his remarks being frequently interrupted by applause. Following Is the President’s address: In receiving these diplomas you become men who, above almost any others of the entire Union, are to carry henceforth the ever-present sense of responsibility which must come with the knowledge that on some tremendous day it may depend upon your courage, your parcdness, your keen intelligence and kn edge of your profession whether or not the na- tion is again to write her name on the world's ;ol‘_l otf honor or to know the black shame of efeat. POWER OF THE NAVY. We, all of us, earnestly hope that the occa- sion for war may never come, but if it has to come then this nation must ind the prime factor in securing victory over any foreign foe must of necessity be the United States navy. ¢ the navy falls us then we are doomed to defeat, mo matter what may be our material wealth or the high average of citizenship. I tance for every patriotic American to see that the navy is constantly bullt up, and, above all, that it is kept to the highest point of effi- ciency, both in material and in personnel. It cannot be too often repeated that in modern war, and especially In modern naval war, the chief factor in achieving triumph is wha( has been done in the way of thorough preparation and training before the beginning of the war. 1t is what has beén done before the outbreak of war that is all important. After the out- done is to use to best advantage the great war engines and the sea- manship, markemanelip and general practical which already have been providel by the forethought of the national Legislature ability, through a courge of years, of the Navy Department. A battleship cannot be improvised. It takes crew in handiing it aright can likewise never zealous and systematic training. You, to whom [ give these diplomes, now join the ranks of the officers of the United States nav You enter a glorious service, proud of its mem:. ores of renown. You must-keep ever in your minds the thought of the supreme hour which may come when what you do will forever add to or detract from this renéwn. DUTIES OF OFFICERS. Some of you will have to do your part in Lielping construct the ships and the guns which You use. You need to bend every energy to ward making these .ships and guns in aff their details the most perfect of their kind through- out the world. “The ‘sWip-must bs seaworthy, the armament fitted for guns and men, the guns |j + e Bast’ protection to | o n all their mechanism shortest ‘possible ‘time. ~ Every detall, whether of protection to the gun crews, of rapidity and ing the elevating and revolving gear, or of quickness and aceuracy in sighting, must be thought out far in advance, and the thought carefully executed in the actual work. The best ships and guns and the most.costly mech- anism are utterly valueless If the men zre not trained to use them to the utmast possible ad- vantage. From now on throughout your lives | there can bé no slackness on your part. duty must be present with you, waking and sleeping. You have got to train yourselves, and you have got to train those under you, | in the actual work of seamanship, In the actuai work of gunnery. If the day for battle comes you will need all that you vossess of boldness, skill, deter- mination, ability to bear punishment and -in- stant readiness In emergency. But though ithout these qualities you can do nothing, yet gven with them you aan do but little if’ you have not had the forethought and set purpose to train yourselves and the enlisted men under you aright. Officers and men alike must have the sea habit; officers and men alike must realize that in battle the only shots that count | are the shots that hit, and that normally the victory will 1le with the side whose shots hit oftenest. Seamanship and marksmanship, these must_be the two prime objects of your train- ing, both for yourselves and for the men under you. HONORED ON SICKBED. At the conclusion of his addréss and distribution of diplomas the President requested to_be taken to the hospital, where Cadet Emory 8. Land of Wyoming a member of the graduating class, lying {ll. Sitting up in bed the sick boy received his diploma from the Pres!dent, who made a few appropriate remarks, in which he expressed the hope that he would soon be out. The President was then given the opportunity of witnessing the customary prank of the plebes throw: ing a graduating class out of quarters, Which ‘afforded & great deal of Amuse: ment. After luncheon the President and party went aboard the torpedo hoat Gwynne | for a short trop to Chesapeake Bay, after which they took the train for Washing- t Your on.

URSCORE AND FQUR; i — TTO KLOPPENBURG, a pioneer resident of this city and formerly Treasurer of ‘the city and county of San Francisco, passed away at his residence, 224 Grove street, on Thursday last at the age of 84 years. In the death of the aged argonaut his bereaved widow and only child are over- vhelmed with -grief, and by a strange ignificance Kloppenburg's body will be eremated to-morrow on the sixty-first an- niversary of ‘his wedding day. Kloppenburg was born in Scharmbeck, Germany, and came to the United States when he was a young man. He resided in New York City for a time, and when the news/of the discovery of gold in Cali- fornia reached the East he decided to come to the land of promise. He arrived in this State in the early fifties, and six months later was followed by his young bride. Kloppenburg embarked in the gro- cery business and won the confidence of all ‘with whom he came in contact by his sterling qualitles and integrity. He opened a store on the southwest corner of Pine and Montgomery streets, where the Russ House now stands. He was a partner in the wholesale liquor rm of Kloppenburg & Bretvidel and en- joyed the trust of the entire commercial community. In 1868 Kiloppenburg was elected City and County Treasurer and won a second term by a large majority. He was a candidate for a third term, but the Democratic party, to which he be- longed, suffered a defeat on that occa- sion. K“I(\pper‘.bllr‘ embarked in the seventies in a leag..sojelting, enterprise, and with his assoclates erected & costly plant near the Six-mile House. He invested a large sum of -money in the concern, but'the venture proved a failure and Kloppenburg was a heavy loser.

Liabilities Half a Million and Far Exceed Cash Assets. 2 DENVER, May 2.—Judge Morton S. Balley ‘of the Eleventh Judicial Distriet, sitting at Canyon City, has appointed Henry L. Doherty receiver of the Denver ‘Gas and Electric Company on application of Dennis Sullivan, who brought suit against the company on a promissory note for $15,000, to which the company ®con- fessed judgment. The receiver’s bond was fixed at §100,000. Receiver Doherty has been president of the Denver Gas and Electric Company since May, 1901, and was acting president from the preceding October until -that date. Extensive additions have been made to plants and service of the company dur- ing his incumbency, and the defauit in payment of obligations, it is said, Is due to the fact that bonds of the company bearing 3 per cent interest have command- ed only 72 per cent of face value In the market, and the officers of the company have not feit justified in floating them at that price to meet the current construc- tion expenditures, which have averaged about $25,000 per month. ‘The authorized capital stock of the cor- poration is 33,500,000, of which 32,650,000 is outstanding: $.300,000 first consolidated mortgage gold bonds are authorized bear- ing 5 _per cent interest, payable in May and November, to run until May 1, 1919, of which $2,400.00 is outstanding. = One million five hundred thousand dollars gold bonds of the Denver Consolidated Gas Company, subjeet to redemption at 105 and bearing 6 per cent interest, is out- standing, and also 3$800,000 of bonds of ths Denver Consolidated Electric Company. subject to- call, bearing § per cent inter- est. The interest due yesterday on the $2,400,000 first consolidated mortgage bonds was defaulted. Receiver Doherty said to- ay: “The company, while virtually con- trolled by Emerson MeMillin of New York, is owned by individuals living in Denvor, Columbus, Ohio, Grand Rapids, Mich., and New York City.” The suit devcloped that the company’s available cash assets are $250,000, and its liabilities, aside from the bonded indebt- edness, are approximately $500,000. EXPLAINS NEEDS OF !CI\ 00L3. Board of Edueation Appeals to Fi- nance Committee. The Supervisors' Finance Committes held an all-day session yesterday for the purpose of hearing the heads of the vart- ous departments regarding their estimates of the amount necessary to conduet their affairs during the next fiscal year. The members of the Board of Education took up most of the morning session in an_endeavor to urge an appropriation of | $1,805,000 for the School Department. The Directors admitted that this amount was jargely in excess of the charter allow- ance, but they had designated the actual Needs of the department in the hope that they would get most of them. Denman made a defense of the figures on enroll- ment as returned to the Auditor by the board.
