Va, April 26. The Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition, a land nd water display such as was never attempted in this country or on foreign shores, opened today with all the pomp and ceremony which always attends events where the President of the United States is the central figure and diplomatic representatives of foreign nations, governors of states and like dignitaries are honored guests and participants.

Incident to the opening President Roosevelt reviewed from the deck of the Mayflower the war vessels anchor ed In Hampton Roads. He reached the discovery landing, having been transferred in a naval launch from his yacht shortly before noon, and amid applause from thousands gathered to voice their welcome, he was received by the Exposition management. Then followed the program for opening to the public the great enterprise commerorating the 300th anniversary of the first English settlement in America, which -program included an address Harry "St. George Tucker, president of the exposition, and one toy President Binging by the exposition chorus of 700 trained voices, pressing of the cold button by President Roosevelt which marked the formal opening, and a review by the President of the assembled military forces. The great crowd which sought the Exposition grounds today was hampered by lack of transportation facilities.

The trolley roads from Norfolk to Sewell's Point, the site of the Exposition, were congested early, and the docking facilities for the scores of excursion steamers were also insufficient, and many boats laden with passengers were held up off-shore for hows. While tne President was speaking the wildest confusion prevailed directly in front of the grand stand, caused -by the pushing and surging of the great crowd. There was danger of -women and children toeing crushed, and the guards forced their way into the throng to stop the pushing. Even then the program was interrupted many times. The troops in close order formed a guard between the lines of people and the grand Btand.

President Roosevelt's Speech. At the outset I wish to say a word of special greeting to the representatives of the foreign governments here present. They have come to assist us in celebrating what was in very truth the birthday of this nation, for it was here taat the colonies first settled. whose Incoming, whose growth from their own loins and by the addition of newcomers from broad, was to make the people which one hundred and sixty-nine years later assumed the solemn responsibilities and weighty duties of complete independence. In welcoming all of you 1 must say a special word, first to the representative people of Great Britain and Ireland.

The fact that so many of our people of whom as it happens I myself am one. have but a very small portion of English Mood in our veins, In no way alters the other fact' that this nation was founded by Englishmen, by the Cavalier and the Puritan. Their tongue, law, literature, the fund of their common thought, made an inheritance which all of us share, and marked deep the lines along which we have developed. It was the men of stock who did most in casting the mold into which our national character was run. Let furthermore greet all of yon the representatives of the people of continental Europe.

From almost ev-ry nation of Europe we have drawn some part of our -blood, some part of our traits. This mixture of blood has gone on from the beginning, and with it lias gone on a kind of development unexampled among people of the stocks from which we spring; and hence to-day we differ sharply from and yet in some ways are fundamentally akin to, all of the nations of Europe. Again, let me bid you welcome, representatives of our sister Republics of this continent. In the larger aspect your interests and ours are identical. Your problems and ours are In large part the same; and as we strive to settle them, I pledge you herewith on the part of this nation the heartiest friendsaip and good will.

Finally, let me say a special word of greeting to those representatives of the Asiatic nations who make up that newest East which is yet the -most ancient East, the East of time immemorial. In particular, let me express a word of -hearty welcome to the representative of the mighty is land emipre of Japan; that empire, which, in learning from the West has shown that it had so much, so very much, to teach the West in re turn. lo an or you nere gathered I ex press my thanks for your coming, and I extend to you my earnest wishes for the welfare of your several nations, The world has moved so far that it is no longer necessary to believe that one nation can rise only 'by thrusting another down. All farsighted states men, all true patriots, now earnestly wish taat tne leading nations of man kind, as in their several ways they struggle constantly toward a higher civilization, a higher humanity, may advance hand in hand, united only in a generous rivalry to- see which can best do its allotted work in the world. I believe that there is a ris ing tide in human thought which tends for righteous international peace; tide which it behooves us to guide -through rational channels to sane conclusions; and all of us here present can well afford to take to heart St.

Paul's counsel "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." We have met today to celebrate the opening of the Exposition which itslf commemorates the first permanent set tlement of men of our stock in Vir ginia, the first -beginning of what has since become this mighty Republic. Three hundred years ago a handful of English adventurers, who had cross ed the ocean in what we should now call cockle boats, as clumsy as they are frail. landed in the great wooded wilderness, the Indian-naunted waste, which then stretched down to the wa ter's edge along the entire Atlantic coast. They were not the first men of the European race to settle in what is now the United States, for there were already Spanish settle ments in Florida and on the headwat ers of the Rio Grande; and the French who at almost the same time were struggling up the St. Lawrence, were likewise destined to permanent settle ment on the Great lakes and in the valley of the mighty Mississippi "be fore the people of English stock went westward of the Alleghenies.

More over, both the Dutch and the Swedes were shortly to found colonies be tween the two sets of English colonies those that grew up around the Poto mac and tnose that grew up on what is now the New England coast. Nev ertheless, this landing at Jamestown possosses for us of the United States an aitogetner peculiar signincance. and this without regard to our several origins. The men who landed at Jamestown and those who, thirteen years later, landed at Plymouth, all of English stock, and their fellow-settlers who during the next few decades stre amed in after them, were those who took the lead in shaping the life history of this people in the -colonial and revolutionary days. It was they who bent into definite shape our nation while it was still young enough most easily, most readily, to take on the characteristics which were to become part of its permanent life nabit.

Yet let us remember that wnlle this early English colonial stock has left deeper than all others upon our nation al life the mark of its strong twin in dividualities, the mark of the Cavalier and of the Puritan nevertheless, this stock, not only from its environment but also from the presence with it of other stocks, almost from the -begin ning began to be differentiated strong ly from any European people. As I have already said, about the time the Frenchmen and the Spaniard, the Swede and the Dutchman, also came hither as permanent dwellers, who left their seed behind them to nelp shape and partially to inherit our national life. The German, the Irishman, and the Scotchman came later, but still in colonial times. Before the outbreak of the Revolution the American people, not only ttecause of their surroundings, physical and spiritual, but -because of the mixture of blood that had already begun to take place, represented a new and distinct ethnic type. This type has never been fixed in blood.

All through the colonial days new waves of immigration from time to time sweft hither across the ocean, now from one country, now from another. The same thing has gone on ever since our toirth as a nation; and for the last sixty years the tide of immigration has been at the full. The new comers are soon absorbed into our eager national life, and are radically and profoundly chan ged thereby, the rapidity of their assimilation being marvelous. But each group of new comers, as It adds its blood to the life, also changes it some-what, and this change and growth and development have gone on steadily, generation, by generation Hi rough-out three The pioneers of our people who first landed on tjiese shores on that eventful day three centuries ago, had before them a task which during the early years was of heartbreaking danger and difficulty. The conquest of a new continent is Iron work.

People who dwell in old civilizations and find that therein so much of humanity's lot is hard, are apt to complain against the conditions as being- sole- A PUBLIC MASS MEET- IN6 AT A public mass meeting of the people of Roswell is called to meet at the Court House in Roswell, Saturday night at eight o'clock, for the purpose of considering the resignation of Honorable H. J. Hagerman as Governor of the Territory of New Mexico, and, inas much as Governor honored and respected citizen of this city, it is deemed people of Roswell regardless of party affiliations, concerning his acts as Governor. Ladies are especially invited to ing. Signed: J.

W. Stockard. E. A. Cahoon.

Ira P. Wetmore. W. E. Greenwood.

J. F. Hinkle. R. S.

Hamilton. W. C. Reid. The above call for a mass meeting to be held Saturday night at the Court House should cause an outpour ing of the citizens of Roswell, and leave not a vacant seat in the 'building.

At this meeting the causes lead ing to the resignation will be dis cussed freely and frankly, and by men who know whereof they speak. There will be no -mincing of words, Ibut the talk will be straight from the shoulder, and the truth will be told. The great matter 'before the people of New Mexico is not a partisan issue; it is one that vitally concerns every man and woman in the Terri tory, and is one on which the fate of good government depends. The turning down of Governor Hag-1 erman was acnievea tnrougn tne po litical manipulation of -men connected with the gang and plunderbund which has for so long disgraced New Mexico, and the people of Roswell, the home city of the Governor, should not be slow to express their detestation and scorn of the men and methods who have deceived President Roosevelt into committing so unjust an act. Attorney General Reid will address the gathering and tell hi plain words what he knows of this disgraceful episode in the life of New Mexico.

President C. C. Hill of the Good Gov ernment League, Hon. J. F.

Hinkle, and perhaps half a dozen other young men will make short talks. It will be conducted somewhat on the plan of the Salvation Army's "free and easy" meetings, nobody 'being barred from testifying. A special invitation has 'been issued to the ladles of Roswell to grace the occasion with their presence, and they should 'be present in large numbers. Special to The Daily Record. Santa Fe, N.

April 26. The tel egrams which h-ave been pouring in to Washington for the jjast week protesting against the acceptance of the resignation of Governor Hagerman have had their effect. The President who was at first inclined to listen to no arguments in the matter, but who was following the advice of Bull Andrews, has concluded that there may 'be another side to the matter after all. and that the hundreds of promi nent people in New Mexico who have protested against the acceptance of the resignation know what they are talking about. The Governors resignation, w-mcn was forwarded from here last Tues day evening by mail should be in Washington tonight, but the Presi dent went to Jamestown yesterday and will not be back in Washington until Monday, so that there is yet time for messages of protest to reach him.

ly due to man and to speak as if life could be made easy and simple if there were but a virgin continent in which to work. It is true that the pio neer life was simpler, tout it was cer tainly not easier. As a matter of fact, the first work of the pioneers in taking possession of a lonely wilderness is so rougn, so hard, so dangerous that all but the strongest spirits fail. The early Iron days of such a con quest search out alike the weak In body and the weak in soul. In the war fare against the rugged sternness of primeval -Nature, only tnose can conquer who are themsleves unconquerable.

It Is not until the first Utter years have passed that the life becomes easy enough to invite a mass of new comers, and so great are the risk, hardship, and toil of the early years that there always exists a threat (Continued on Page Two.)

(Signed) LOOMIS. A STRONG PROTSET TO THE PRESIDENT. The citizens of Roswell yes- terday proved conclusively that they believed In the hon- esty and political integrity of Governor H.

J. Hagerman, and that they stand be1ind him, 3 practically as a unit, in the good works he has performed in the Territory. This was shown by the telegram sent to the President at Washington protesting against the accept ance of the resignation of the Governor and declaring that his forced resignation was a blow at good government in 3 this Territory. The telegram was signed by 5 hundreds of the best and i most substantial citizens of the community, and only lack of time prevented the secur- ing of the signatures of iiun- dreds of others. Bankers, law- yers, doctors, merchants, and citizens of all occupations uni- i ted in declaring their faith and belief in Governor Hager- man, and was a memorial of which any man might well be proud.

The Military Institute baseball team, from Roswell, N. lost the second game of the series here this afternoon, after winning from the home team yes terday by a score of five to three. Today's game was lost in the tenth in ning, the score having been tied in the ninth. It was a sensational game in sev eral respects, many fancy prays being made.

The weather was extremely cold, and the visitors, from the sun shine of the Pecos valley, evidently did not stand the frigid temperature like the Panhandlers, who are accus tomed to it. The game was equal on errors, but the home team out-batted the visitors, securing ten hits on Crowell and Hester, to, the Institute four oft Mitchell. The Score by Innings. Canyon. 020000002 1 5 NT.

Alanreed, April 26. Owens was shot and instantly killed near here yesterday by B. S. Turbv- fill, who in turn was killed by a son of Mr. Owens.

B. S. Turbyfill, of Ver nal, Utah, with Tom Plemans, of Texas, left town yesterday morning for Clarendon, va. Jericho. S.

B. Owens and son, also left town a short time later for their ranch west of town. 'About 10:30 m. at Rookledge switch, six miles west of here, Owens and son overtook Turbyfill and Plemans, and Owen sought a conversation with Turbyfill They both left their buggies. As they met they spoke some words and im mediately began shooting.

Owens was instantly killed, -being shot through the right arm and upper region of the 'bowels. Turbyfill after shootin twice at the younger Owens broke and ran. Solon Owens seeing that his father was slain, secured his -fath er's Winchester and shot twice at Turbyfill who was fifty yards or more away, one ball passing through Turby fill body and the other through tne right thigh. Turbyfill fell and died about two hours later. Conductor C.

M. Mills, with a work train at Rockledge, at once ran his train to Alanreed, returning with Sheriff Reeves, Deputy Rector and a physician. Deep regret prevails 'here as Mr. Owens was a prominent land and cattle owner. He will be laid to rest by the Masonic fraternity in the city cemetery.

Tunbyfill's family were at once notified and the body will be buried at Clarendon. The cause of this shooting is well understood by many people in Ros well. It will be recalled that Owens is the man who thought the George W. Medley place, east of town, over a year ago, and that the paying of a commission in the deal was the cause of bad blood between Owens and Turtby-filfil. After the sale, Turby fill brought a suit for $2,000 commis sion against Mr.

Medley. W. W. An derson had before this made claim for $2,000 commission for making the same deal, and Mr. Medley wanted the court's decision as to who should be paid.

The case was tried in district court here, and the court decided that Mr. Anderson was the man entitled to a commission. Accordingly, he was paid. Then Turbyfill filed suit for some twenty thousand dollars against Owens. This case came up last term, and, Turbyfill being in Utah and fail ing to take the necessary steps, his case was dismissed, with leave to re-instate.

The re-instatement was made for the present term of court. and the case would have come up at this term. Mr. Owens left Roswell the first of week for his old home in Alan reed, and before going told a number of his friends that he expect ed to have trouble there. But it was imposed that the trouble would be with "squatters" on his land there, rather than with Tunbyfill.

S. B. Owens was 53 years old. He leaves a wife and nine children, two of his sons being grown. He has been known to all the cattlemen or tne Panhandle for many years, and their unanimous verdict is, that he was one of God's noblemen." He came to Roswell to live about a year ago, and his many friends here will second the opinion given by 'his friends among the cattlemen.

He always had a smile and good word for everybody, and all who knew him, liked 'nim. His death causes deep sorrow in Roswell. DETAILS OF KILLING OF TIPTON AT TEXICO. Special to The Daily Record. Portales, N.

April 26. Deputy Sheriff W. E. Tipton was shot and killed at Texico Thursday by Constable Byron Parrisn, of Portales. The hooting occurred about 10:40 a.

m. in the White House saioon. upton lived about an hour and twenty minutes, dying about twelve o'clock. W. E.

Tipton was deputy sneriff oi Roosevelt county, and lived at Texico. Byron Parrish Is constable of precinct. Parrish bad a warrant for the arrest of somebody wanted in Texas, and was at Texico looking for the man. He had made a trip out to Melrose and back on the train the day before. The trouble arose in Texico be tween Tipton and Parrisn over the authority to carry a srnn.

Tipton took Parrish into the White House saloon and ordered him to pass up his eun to the bar-keeper. The two men were standing side by side in front of the bar. Parrish drew his Ml rtl gun, made a motion as if to lay it on the ibar, and then just before It struck the bar he made a swing with it and struck Tipton across the fore bad. The two men then grabbed each other, but before anything further could be done the bar-keeper reached over the bar and wrenched Parrish's gun away from him. The two men were grappling with each other, and Tipton's gun was drawn from its scabbard.

Your correspondent is unable to state which drew the gun, but in some way Tipton got bold of the gun and shot Parrish in the hand. Then Parrish got possession of it. Others day Parrish reached around and drew Tipton's gun. Two shots were fired. Tipton was shot in the outer corner of the left eye, and th bullet came out the back of his head.

Parrish was shot in the edge of the left hand just above the little finger, taking outa. piece about as large as a two-bitt piece. Tipton leaves a wife and six cnll-dren. The remains will be interred at Portales. Parrish was taken to Hereford for safe-keeping on the "plug." Parrish has a wife at Portales, no children.

The sentiment here is about equally divided. 1 Judge W. W. Gate wood, as attorney for the defense, and Mrs. Waldo Sny der, as stenographer, went to Texico this morning to attend the Parrish preliminary.
