NO. 315 AEIZONA i PROMISE KEPT President Roosevelt Dined With the Hungarians A PREDICTION YEARS AGO There Was a Hot Time Last Night in the East Side Tenement District. The Foreigners Greeting to the. Chief Magistrate. Xew Tork, Feb.

15. After two days receptions and dinners. President Roosevelt left tonight over the Pennsylvania road for Washington. The events of today included a retortion at the University club and to-jiipht the event of his visit the dinner fiven by the Hungarian Republican club at a restaurant, "Little Hungary," on the East Side, -where a president was never seen before. The fact that President Roosevelt was to visit the j'laoe where he has not been since he uas governor of Xew York and where im other president, while in office, had led to unusual police precautions, but nothing untoward happened.

The president left the Hungarian r'lub dinner after making a brief in which he told of the duties of the American citizen as he Raw them ami was driven directly to the Des-1 -rosses Street station, accompanied by a squad of mounted police. The ferry hont arrived in Jersey City at 11:50 and some minutes afterwards he took a special train. THE CHIEF EVENT. The Hungarian Republican Banquet and Attendant Incidents. Xew York, Feb.

Guarded by mounted police and secret service men, through the streets cleared and cordoned by police, he drove from urper Fifth avenue into the crowded district, which lies around Second avenue and east Houston street, a region of small shops and tenements and largely populated by foreign born citizens. From the moment his carriage entered the district he received an ovation.

Never before had a president of the United States visited this little known part of New York and never before had a fraction of the thousands that cheered him, seen a nations ruler. Electric lights winked and blinked characteristic legends, gaudy bunting fluttered in the wind and the great East Side showed its enthusiasm In every imaginable way. Across Second avenue at Sixth street a huge electric device blazed forth the pimple word, "Delighted," a word frequently used in the decorations. The district through which the president drove and In which he dined is not the safest in the great city and the police took no chances. So stringent were the precautions thnt not a flasdiMsht photograph was allowed to be taken and uniformed police, plain clothes men' and detectives fr.irly swarmed inside and outside of "Little Hungary." They were stationed on the roofs and fira escapes in the neighborhood and for two on the other-side of eaft Houston street, a cordon of police cut off the crowds.

The night was almost the coldest of the winter, but it did not depress the spirits of the crowd. Ilcfore dusk the East Side streets began to pour forth their bound toward "Little Hungary" and these were swelled by sightseers from all over the city, the latter perhaps more anxious to see the East Side on a gay night than to catch a glimpse of the president. The snow of many storms, ice coated by alternate thaws and freezes, was breast high inside the streets, and over these heaps the crowds scrambled and slipped to secure a vantase point. East Houston street and the adjoining thoroughfares in all directions were blocked by as cosmopolitan a crowd as could be gathered In any city In the world. The crowd was in the best of humor and no disorder or resistance occurred.

Every entrance to the residence or store within the police line was guarded by an ofTlccr, while on the house tops and in the cafe stood Don't Quarrel Willi Your Welch Probably your watch isn't to blame It would keep rood time if you'd let it.

policemen to keep these vantage points clear of any evil disposed person. The tenants of nearby houses had been warned in the afternoon by the police to get home before the lines were drawn and most of them appeared to have done so. President Roosevelt was punctual In his schedule. He was due at 7:30 and Ave minutes before that time the cheering began on Avenue B. The police lines came to attention and the band stationed near the' cafe struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," but after the opening bar nothing could be heard.

A wave of cheering swept ahead of the presidential party and grew into a roar such as East Side tenement walls never echoed before. The window order was forgotten. Sashes went up simultaneosuly. Waving from his carriage and bowing, the president returned the polyglot greeting. There was no delay.

A line was made quickly through the people mass- ea at me ponce line in Avenue is, a block from its intersection with East Houston street and the carriage with their mounted police escort swept up entrance to the cafe there was a wel- coming cheer and the president doffed his hat. In' the carriage with the president was Marcus Braun, president; of the Hungarian Republican club, whose guest Mr. Roosevelt was; Po-! lice Commissioner McAdoo and Sec-1 retary Loeb. As the president stepped from the carriage paused and shook hands with several police Inspectors who stood near. Six years ago Governor Roosevelt was eutertained at the same piace, and when lie was police inspector he became familiar with every turn In the narrow streets through which he pass ed tonight.

In his police escort tonight, there were some of the men who wore! badges under him when he headed the. forces and who stood to address him as "Mr. Commissioner." When the president drove up to Little Hungary tonight he filled a promise made to the members of the Hungarian Republican club years ago, that he would be their guest at a banquet if their prediction came true and he ever went to the White House. THE DINNER. The Moct Picturesque Event of the President's Visit.

A letter from Count Apponyi one of the opposition leaders in the Hungarian diet, in which he said how much he would have liked to attend the banquet and paying a high compliment to Americans and President Roosevelt, was rend. Kossuth, the Hungarian statesman sent the following telegram which was read amid great enthusiasm: "Deliver at the banquet the congratulations of our party to President Roosevelt." It was 1:30 when Mr. Braun rapped for order that he might introduce the president. Amid loud cries of "elben," and playing the "Star Spangled Banner," Mr. Braun proposed the president's health.

The applause was deafening as the pres" dent arose and faced the crowded room. When silence was obtained he said. In part: "It is nearly ten years ago that I first took dinner here in the immediate neighborhood, where I am dining now and at that time I remember perfectly when I was brought up here, it was by Mr. Jacob RIIs and Mr. Jim Reynolds, and I was told that I would get an awful good dinner and hear some very good music, and both prophecies proved true." This function concluded the president's visit in New York, and was the most picturesque that he has attended.

In striking contrast to the wealth and fashion which surrounded him last night at the Lincoln dinner, were the surroundings amid which the president spoke tonight. He met old friends, many of whom he had known when he was police commissioner and it waa interesting to see how well his memory served him at the reception which preceded the banquet, for whenever Braun presented an old acquaintance Mr. Roosevelt would exclaim, "No need of introduction here," and quickly called the name and grasped the hand of the individual.

Promptly at 8 p. m. the president left the reception room and, escorted by descended to the basement and past the little bar into the cafe.

Ho stood for several minutes at his place at the center of the head of the table gazing upon the elaborate decorations. The ceiling, walls and pillars were completely covered with evergreen and this background was relieved by flags and shields. The president sat at the right of Braun, the president of the club, and the other guests at this table were General Francis V. Greene, William Barnes, Rear Admiral Cogh-lan. General Frederick D.

Grant, Nevada M. Stranahan, Secretary Loeb, W. Travers Jerome, Commissioner McAdoo, Robert B. Armstrong, James Sloane, and Frank H. Tyree, while nearby were many other men prominent in various walks of life.

The Hungarian orchestra especially pleased the president with its music throughout the dinner. Among the telegrams read at, the dinner was one from the Hungarian club of Kansas City to President Roosevelt, which read: "Hungarian hearts beat for you because they always find you true. We hope you will find the Tokay right and God will bless your appetite." An amusing Incident In the early part of the dinner was furnished by Mr. Taursig, a prominent member of the club. He is a tall man with long, black hair and a rather striking countenance.

He was sitting down in front of the president and started up to shake hands with him, when there was an Immediate rush of secret service men to the lescue. This caused great amusement among the members of the club and the president gave him a most cordial greeting. The president added: "And it was about time that I grew to be acquainted with so many of my hosts and fellow guests of this evening. Others I had known before. "When one of my fellow guests.

General Grant and I were then working in common, at different times I spoke at meetings presided over by or held in the club houses of various of the gentlemen here present, some time3 on political subjects, much oftener on matters of good citizenship affecting us all as good citizens. I grew In these years gentlemen, to have a very close feeling of sympathy and affection and regard for the men and women of the great East Side of this city, and I needed no urging when I was invited to come and be the guest at a club of the East Side this evening. "Tonight I wish to greet you most warmly and I doubt if we could find a more typical gathering than this. Americanism is not a matter of birthplace, of ancestry, -of creed, of occupation; Americanism is a matter of the spirit that is within the man's soul. Since the time when we first became an Independent nation to the present moment there has never been a generation which some of the htost distinguished and most useful men were not men who had been born on the other side of the Atlantic and it is peculiarly appropriate and to me peculiarly pleasant that in addressing this club of men upon whose efforts much of the future welfare of this city, this state and this nation depends.

I should be addressing men who show by their action that they know no difference between Jew and gentile. Catholic and Protestant, native born and foreign born; provided only the man. whatever his creed, whatever his birth place strives to live, to do his full duty by his neighbor and by th country as a whole." It was impossible to hear the concluding paragraphs of the president's sieech because of the activities of the secret service men. They swarmed around the main table and with a wedge formation took the president through the narrow hall way and up the stairs to the reception room where his coat and hat had been left. Then a police sergeant in uniform with half dozen patrolmen was sent to keep the streets clear.

GOV. BRODIE QUITS His Resignation Took Effect at Midnight Farewell Message to Legislature and an Informal Goodbye He Accepts His Military Position Today. Governor Brodie yesterday retired from the office of chief magistrate of Arizona. It was with surprise that it' was learned yesterday morning that the resignation of the governor had been accepted and that he would bid farewell to the legislature and people of the territory in the afternoon. The governor had intended to await the confirmation and qualification of his successor, Judge Kibbey, and a few days ago said he would probably not submit his resignation until after his arrival in Washington, where he will have to be within a period of a few days to direct the preparations of forming the Rough Rider guard of honor for the inaugural parade.

He supposed that by the time of his arrival there or within a short time thereafter his successor would be In receipt of hi srcom mission. But so long a time had elapsed since his appointment to the position of assistant chief of records and pensions, that he decided to formally accept the office on Feb. 15. It therefore became necessary for him to quit the office of governor. Accordingly members of the legislature were informed yesterday morning that in the course of the af-terhoon messages would be sent to both branches of the legislature Informing them of the resignation of the governor.

The message which was sent in late in the afternoon was brief and as follows: "I have the honor to inform you that my resignation has been accepted by the president to take effect at midnight tonight and I shall therefore cease to act as governor of Arizona. I desire to take this opportunity of thanking, you for the many courtesies shown me." After the receipt of the message recess was taken by both houses, it having been announced that the governor would shortly call in person to bid the members farewell. He proceeded first to the council and afterward to. the house. The farewell was informal and touching.

The governor spoke of the pleasant relations he had enjoyed with the legislature and of the interest he felt and should always feel in Arizona. The legislature was then adjourned. There was no other official act for the governor to perform, nothing to do but wait for midnight. The governor and Mrs. Brodie spent the morning al the Tempe normal school," returning to the city about the middle of the afternoon.

On the arrival of the governor at the capitol he found awaiting him the members of his official family who presented him with a handsome loving cup of silver, engraved on one side with the names of the territorial officials and on the other with that of the governor. Among the visitors to the executive chamber in the course of the afternoon beside the members of the legislature was Judge Kibbey. Governor Brodie will remain In the city for two or three days and will be busily emploed arranging for his departure. Acting Governor Nichols will enter upon his duties this morning and will be at the helm for at least a week as in the nature of things the commission of Judge Kibbey could not possibly reach the city before the end of that time. His nomination has not yet been acted upon but it is thought that it will come up in the executive session of the senate tomorrow.

A HALTING MARKET The Heavy Speculative Operators Were Absent. New Tork, Feb. 14. Today's stock market was distinctly of specialties and but few stocks of the first rank will be found In the district of those fluctuating as much as a point. The market was decidedly duller than has been the case recently, especially among the standard stocks.

Minor railroads and industrials which were active have a much smaller volume of capitalization than the. great standard stocks, and the congested interest in this class had its effect in bringing down the total of the day's transac tions. There was a marked falling off In operations by some of the recently active pools and the absence from the s-treet of the notable speculative operators was supposed to account for this. Such of the day's developments as had any importance were without much effect on stocks and the tone was hesitating and irregular. GRAIN.

Chicago, Feb. 14. From the last the wheat market here had a strong undertone, notwithstanding the liberal increase in the world's shipments and in the amount of wheat in passages. The opening quotations were at moderate advances. May being up July opened a shade lower to a shade higher.

A number of Influences combined to offset the effect of the bearish factors. Among the bull influenees were firm cables, iight receipts and improved demand for cash wheat and for flour. The principal cause of strength in the foreign market for wheat was said to be numerous crop damage reported from India and in the advanced price of Indian offerings. The close of May was $1.10, a gain of 1. July closed up at $1.11 Corn strong, with trading large.

May closed at 47V, a gain of 1. Oats were strong in sympathy with wheat and corn. May closed higher at 31. PRINCELY SQUADRON COMING. The Date of the Visit of Admiral Princo Louis of Battenburg.

It will comprise a short stay at Newport, New York and Annapolis. The prince's visit to Washington will, it is understood, be of an official character.

The legislative committee hearing the contest is required to report its finding to the legislature March 1, and on March 2 the contest will be. decided. GRIPPENBURG'S BREAK A Story That He Is to Be Charge With Insubordination.

St. Petersburg. Feb 14. According to the latest gossip at5 the war office, General Kuropatkln has charged General Grippenburg, former commander of the second army, with Insubordination, but the story cannot be traced to a responsible source and perhaps represents simply a new version of the Incident. While definite information continues to be lacking, it seems to be generally accepted that General Grippenburg after the recent flanking operation, blames the commander in chief for his failure to support him and after a stormy scene started for Russia, to personally report to the emperor.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT The Ministry Will Hold Oat Longer Than Was Expected. London, Feb. 14. The first day's proceedings in parliament lent rather a decided impression in the lobbies that the government will manage to hold out till the end of the session. The government's legislative program, which is devoted in the main to social reforms, will be entirely popular, while the avoidance of discussions like that of the redistribution of seats and Premier Balfour's firmness in the thrusting aside of the fiscal problem, all will tend in the same direction.

On the other hand, the liberals appear to be as distant as ever from any approach to unanimity on the vexed question of the leadership. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Earl Spencer, Herbert Henry Asqulth and Sir Henry Hartley Fowler, All are spoken of as possible leaders of the liberal ministry, to say nothing of Lord Rosebery's even superior claim to that position, should he be inclined to exert his undoubted influence. Everything will depend upon Mr. Balfour's success In holding his followers together and overcoming the apathy born of the knowledge that the whole country is looking for and expecting general election. A REFORMER'3 CALL.

New York, Feb. 14. The first attempt of an unwelcome visitor to call on President Roosevelt since his arrival in New York, occurred early today when an aged man, calling himself Wm. Waldorf Jackson, of Lowell. called at the home of Douglas Robinson, where the president stopped in New York and asked to have a card sent to the president.

Secret service men and policemen Informed him that the president had not yet arrived. He left saying he would return later. He said he wished to confer with the president in regard to the government of reforms. CHICAGO HOTEL FIRE. Chicago, Feb.
