ROUGH RIDERS ON PARADE. Apart from the floral feature the salient racteristic, horsemanship and horse: s essentially Californian. Rough rid- Irish, American and German, vied with American and Mexican vaqueros in showing off their skill before the Presi- dent of the United States, who himself can ride a bucking broncho with as much ase as he can rock himself in a chair. °h man knew that he was displaying re graces of himself and his horse before an expert whose enthusiasm and love for the sport would not allow him to over- look a single point in the game. The horses—and they were all fine animals— seemed to understand as well as their masters that they were on parade, and as they flled past the President in the re- viewing stand they curvetted and pranced and danced and bucked with all the grace as well as vigor of the wild West, while their riders, glued to the saddle, raised their sombreros to the President and slyly dug spur once again into the foam- flecked sides of their fretted steeds. No exhibition of riding or of well-trained horses has ever excelled that to which the President was treated to-day on the streets of Los Angeles. Another feature, familiar to Califor- nians but altogether novel to Eastern the Board h all our Roose- wa ers, a procession of au- escort the Presid Gete Park.

Tidings came from the south that the “colonels” achieved a signal victory over the “honorables” in the Los Angeles pa- rade yesterday. The members of the Leg- islature were forced to ride in the rear of Governor Pardee’s gorgeously plumed staff officers. The legislative wrath, now smoldering, will burn flercely as soon as the President is out of sight.

CHINESE GIVE RARE DISPLAY. Mr. Roosevelt was very much Mterested in the rare exhibition given by a race of people who have played no unimportant part in the history of this State, and he raised his brown hand and smiled a brown smile as the yellow men, removing their headgear, salaamed to the ground before ki There were other exclusively Califor- nian features, none the less interesting and admirable. Floats and vehicles of all descriptions robed in natural flowers ellc- ited the approving smiles of the head of the nation as they filed before him. The prettiest women in the county—and that is saying a superlative thing, indeed— were in the vehicles, and they shook the'r fans playfully at him as they pessed and insisted that he should make them happy with a smile. And the President was not cruel. In after years many a Californian beauty will tell her grandchildren of the day when the hero of Santiago smiled upon her. The Los Angelenos allowed nothing to flag. During the pauses in the parafie the thousands of people in the street near by and on baloonies and in the windows of the tall bulldings across the street filled up the gaps with cheers for “Teddy.” Nobody called him ‘““Mr. Presi- dent” or “Mr, Roosevelt.” “Teddy”’ was good enough for them, and they kept at it whenever there happened to be a break in the line, and Teddy was forced to smile again. The parade was over by 5 o'clock and the party were escorted to the Sixth street park, where the Presi- dent addressed the people. NAVY AND IRRIGATION. The President spoke as follows: My Fellow-citizens: I greet you and thank you for the enjoyment you have given me to- day. 1 cannot say how I have appreciated be- ing r beautiful State and your here in you beautiful eity. 1 find, men and that California belleves implicitly in two of my own favorite beliefs— the navy and irrigation. The navy this country is one of the great leading nations of and is bound to become ever greater as the years roll by, and, therefore, it must have a navy corresponding to its posi- tion. Moreover, we as a natlon front two great oceans and we must have a navy capable of asserting our position along the Pacific and the Atlantic. This year we have begun thé preparation for the completion of the isthmian canal. That i important commercially. It will become even more important should we ever become involved in war, because holding | that canal it would be open 'to our own war- | £hips and closed to those of any hostile power, 1 want a navy. 1 want to see the American republic with a fighting navy, because I never wish to see us take a position that we cannot maintain. I do not belleve in a bluff. I feel about a nation as we all do about a man. Let him not say anything that he cannot make g00d, and having said it let him make it §00d. T believe in doing all we can to avold & quarrel, to avoid trouble. T belleve in speaking courtecusly to all the other peoples of man- kind, of scrupulously refraining from wrong- ing them and of seeing that in return they do not wrong us. I believe in the Monroe doc- trine and I belleve in It not as an empty formula of words, but s something we are ready to make good by deeds, and therefore I believe in having an adequate navy with which to make that doctrine good. More than that, here on the Pacific, the greatest of oceans, we as a nation are Erowing by leaps and by bounds and our interests increasing with ever- accelerating rapidity, and If we are to pro- tect those interests and to take the position we should take we must see that the growth of the navy takes place with equal rapidity with the growth of the interests that it is to pro- tect. PRESERVATION OF FORESTS. ‘When I come to speak of the pr-nr;uum o own know! been passing through o garden of earth yesterday and to-day here in Calf the southern half of California, and it has been made such by the honesty and wisdom of Peopie. and by the way In which you Bave preserved your waters and utilized them.

(Cheers applause.) Several pleasing Incidents not on the programme enlivened the pi One -of these was the singing by the Fidelia, a German soclety, of the popular “Hoch Soll Sie Leben,” the singers halting in front of the President. The crowd appre- clated this testimonial and responded — with a round of cheers. The President was no less pleased than they, and doffcd his hat and bowed his acknowledgments. MEETS AN OLD COMRADE. The happiest man in Los Angeles to-day was Thomas B. Fennessy, a brave son of Erin, who was a member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders at Santifago. He went to Riverside yesterday afternoon to see his old commander, but although he was in full uniform the United States secret ser- cice men were loth to take him before the President. But he insisted so strenu- ously and being identified as a good citi- zen of this country the secret service people after carefully searching him for a deadly weapon took him to the Presi- dent's room, one on each side of Fennes- sy holding him by the arms. When the door was opened and the President caught sight of the Rough Rider he shoutad, “Hello, Tom Fennessy; how on earth did you get here and whers have you been all the time?” The guards dropped Fennes- sy’s arms as though they were loaded, and he and the President had a quiet talk about the stirring times in the Cuban campalgn. The nub of the story lles in the fact that at the time Fennessy was a Rough Rider he was an enthusiastic labor agi- tator in the Typographical Union. When he came to Los dflmflu lhor;lycuuur the Spaniards were driven out o ba Fen- nessy pursued his hobby, and for that reason was not in favor with certain of the authorities who had much to do with geotting up the parade. When Fennessy ‘went to Riverside the fact that he was a labor agitator was tipped off to the secret service men, and that was why they looked upon him as a dangerous person. Fennessy Is one of six original Rough Riders residing in this county, and they applied to General Last for the privilege of escorting the President from the rail- way depot to the reviewing stand, but General Last had other persons picked out for that duty and he denied their ap- plication. The result of the conference with the President was a note from oim to the parade officlals that he desired the escort of the six Rough Riders, and Gen- eral Last was obliged to change his pro- accordingly. 2 the evening festivities and a ban- m the Westminster Hotel the Presi- Glad to Meet the School Pupls. - Continued From Page 1, Column 6. | “Glad though I am to see all of you, to see the grown-ups, I think I am even gladder to see the children. I was gree ed by the High School in a way taat made me feel perfectly certaln that the nine and eleven had their parts in the curriculum. It is, of course, the merest truism to say that important though it 15 to develop factories, railroads, farms, commerce, the thing that counts is the | development of citizenship, that the one thing that decides ultimately what the nation is is the character of the average man or woman in the nation. That is what decldes the future of the common- wealth. And I am very glad to see the kind of children, and to see how many there are; I like your stock and I am giad it is being kept up. “I wish to say a special word of appre- ciation to those engaged in doing the most vitally necessary work in the com- munity—the school teachers, all engaged in education. They are the people who are deciding, next only to the fathers and mothers themselves, what the future des- tiny of this country shall be. If we have the most marvelous material develop- ment that the world has ever seen, and yet if we train up the next generation wrong, that material development will be as dust and ashes in the balance—it will count for nothing and less than nothing. | It is indispensable as a foundation, and | it is worthless unless there is a super- structure upon it. I belleve in you. I believe in your future. I believe in our people, in the American people, from one side of the continent to the other, be- cause I believe that the fathers and moth- ers, the teachers of this generation, are bringing up the children, the boys and the girls, to be in the future such men and women as those who In the iron days of the Civil War left us a heritage of glory and honor forever.” (Cheers and applause.) $ FLOWERS IN PROFUSION. In going from the stand his carriage was driven under an arch of calla lilles and -evergreens erected across Marengo avenue. The Americus Club acted as the guard of honor. C. C. Reynolds of the City Council, Ben Jarvis, representing the Grand Army; F. P. Boynton and Lou Chapin of the Board of Trade, J. P. Baumgartner of the Tournament Associa- tion, J. H. Hall of the Merchants’ Asso- clation and Leroy D. Ely of the High School acted as the executive committee, and did their work so thoroughly that there was not a hitch or a disagreeable feature in the whole affair. The streets were decorated with wreaths and fes- toons, for Pasadena has a wealth of flow- ers and they grow all the year round. After enjoying the beauty of the town for two hours President Roosevelt, ac- companied by his guests, again boarded the train and resumed his trip to Los An- geles. FUND EXCEEDS $§20,000.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE General Manager Kruttschnitt Tells Why the Company Will Not Subscribe. . The executive committee of citizens in charge of the reception to the President me: yesterday afternoon. M. H. de Young, president of the committee, pre- sided. All the executive officers were In attendance. A. A. Watkins, chairman of the finance committee, stated that he had finally obtained an interview with Gen- eral Manager Kruttschn of the South- ern Pacific and that the latter flatly re- fused to contribute to the fund Watkins was appointed a committee of one several weeks ago to go and see Kruttschnitt In regard to a donation from the Southern Pacific Company. He walit- ed around the ante-room and tried in vain many times to get within speaking dis- tance of the general manager. but with- out success. Finally, last Wednesday, the magnate decided to allow Watkins to approach him and talk the matter over. The two met and Watkins stated his case plainly, and asked that the Southern Pa- cific contribute something toward the fund, as all the large concerns and all the prominent men in town had done so. The general manager told Watkins that the Southern Pacific would carry the President all over the State gratis and in addition would take the legislators down to the southern part of the State and bring companies of soldiers from neigh- boring towns all on the same terms. In all, added Kruttschnitt, the total expense to the railroad would mean about $6000 and he thought that was sufficient with- out any cash contribution. Many citizens are vigorously protesting against the action of the reception comi- mittee In refusing to extend the line of march on Montgomery street to Califor- nia. Following is the essence of a pro- test presented yesterday to M. H. de Young, chairman of the citizens' commit- tee: “A great number of business men, all of whom have subscribed to the fund to defray the expenses of your committee during the visit of the President of the United States in San Francisco, feel that it is quite a hardship that the route of procession is moved on Montgomery but one block and then up Sutter to Kearny and Market streets. “They cannot understand why the Ocei- dental Hotel, which is the oldest in the city; the Russ House, Mills buflding, Ne- vada block, Safe Deposit and #Haywards building should be cut out from permit- ting our President to see the work that has been done by the citizens in the way of erecting these practical and handsome structures. “Turning from Montgomery, up Caill- fornia, which is the usual route, it would remove the llne of march but a few blocks and would not only permit him to see the bulldings named, but also to glance at the chaste and beautiful struc- ture of the Mercantile Trust Company and also a little farther down Montgom- ery street the handsome buflding of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany, as well as the San Francisco Sav- ings Unlon on California street, and at the same time give many favorable oppor- tunities for the citizens to view the pa- rade, and it does seem to us that a change could be and certainly ought to be made. “Taking In the three blocks more on Montgomery street, going up California and returning on Kearny, would require but a few moments more. “The business interests of many mon- eyed institutions are grouped about Cali- fornia apd Montgomery streets, and as institutions down California and along this line mentioned have contributed quite largely toward your fund, we ear- nestly ask that consideration may be given to the question regarding this change of route.” Rev. A. C. Bane, pastor of Howard-street Methodist Church, between Second and Third streets, will speak next Sunday morning, May 10, at 11 o'clock, on “President Roosevelt an Example of Manly Christian Character.
