Roosevelt had heard a flourish of bugles and seen the Mayor's carriage drive up surrounded by gallop1ng mounted police. While the escort presented their clubs the Mayor had sighted and proceeded to the panoplied platform where he was to mect Mr. Roosevelt. A crowd of huge proportions. that blocked the Battery Park as far as the eye could reach, and ran up into the little alley-like side streets, had gathered.

Thousands of people leaned from the windows for a sight of the distinguished traveller. Under such conditions and with a bright Bun beating down upon flags and buntlegs and gay decorations, Mr. Roosevelt left the Androscoggin and put foot en the land of this country. The hooting of the harbor craft announced the arrival of the boat at the pier. Consequently crowd the than they wanted was coming.

There was not a sound as the few minutes, passed while the landing, was made. But when the ex-President, after passing. through the shed-like pier structure. stepped out into the sunlight, holding his silk hat high in greeting a roar went up that brought a flush to his bronzed face. He stepped quickly forward, with Corpellus Vanderbilt at his side, and passed to where the Mayor awaited him.

With his jolly, friendly manner, the former President singled out those he knew among the guests of the grandstand, waved them a greeting. Then he became serious and turned to the Mayor, whom he greeted earnestly and with quiet words that made Mr. Gaynor listen with attention. Mr. Roosevelt's Reply to Mayor Commented On Far and Wide.

Then he added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed myself, and now I am more glad than I can say to get home, to be back in my own country, back among the people I love. 'And I am ready and eager to do my part so far as I am able in helping solve problems which must be solved if we of this, the greatest democratic republic upon which the sun has ever shone, are to see its destinies rise to the high level of hopes and its opportunities.

"This is the duty of every citizen, but it is duty, for any man who has ever been honored by being President of the United States is thereby forever after rendered the debtor of the American people, and is bound throughout his life to remember this as his prime obligation, and in private life as much as in public life so to carry himself that the American nation may never have cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their head." When the ex-President said that he had thoroughly enjoyed himself, his friends in the grand stand opposite cheered laughed. He stopped a moment and chuckled to himself. But a moment later he was almost stern, and his voice rang as he uttered the words that were his first political The grand stand burst into applause that stopped the reading of the speech, as the colonel uttered the words in question, in his most emphatic manner. Gifford Pinchot and Nicholas Longworth, both members of the back-fromthe speaker. were conspicuous the Elba Club, who stood directly in front, of cheering that followed the expression.

In extending the welcome of the city to Mr. Roosevelt, Mayor Gaynor said: "We have watched Mr. Roosevelt's progress abroad with delight. Wherever he has gone he has been honored as a man and as an exponent of the ROOSEVELT LANDING AT THE BATTERY for which the American Government stands." Down the bay Mr. Roosevelt was met by Captain Archibold Butt, bearing the message of the President, and by Adjutant General Verbeck, bearing the message of Governor Hughes.

He received the welcome of the city, from the committee on the reception boat, and from the mayor on shore. The brief words of Mr. Gaynor and the traveler were all the ceremonies at the Battery.

ROOSEVELT dence hastily sought shelter, commenting on the fact that the ex-President was still having the usual "Roosevelt luck." For more than 'half an hour the sixty men from Traffic Squadrons and who have been acting as a body guard, waited on their horses in front of the house and were drenched to the skin.

At 3:58 o'clock the Roosevelt family, accompanied by Miss Alexander, the Longworths and members of the reception committee, left the house and entering automobiles were driven rapidly to the Long Island Railroad Depot at the foot of East Thirty-fourth street, and went to Long Island City, where the train was waiting to take them to Oyster Bay. WOMAN SNUBS ROOSEVELT Mrs. Carlos R. Duque Refuses to Shake the Colonel's Hand.

Carlos R. Duque and says she is granddaughter, of former President then Mallarino of Colombia, refused to shake hands with Colonel Roosevelt during a reception on the ship. Mrs. Duque is the wife of an attache of the Panama government and lives at 661 West One Hundred and Eleventh street, Manhattan. As the many passengers were fighting to shake hands with Colonel Roosevelt, Captain Ruser, commander of the Kaiserin, noticed that Mrs.

Duque was standing to one side, and, believing that diffdence held her back, went up to her and in a quiet tone asked: "Won't you shake hands with Colonel Roosevelt?" At this question the little. dark-eyed and haired young voman, who is also the possessor of uncommon beauty, turned to Captain Ruser and replied: "indeed I will not. 1 He is the man who broke the treaty signed with my country and allowed Panama to be taken away from Colombia." To show that she. meant. no curtness in answering the captain's polite query, Mrs.

Duque then went on to explain her antiRoosevelt feelings. "This act, on the part of Roosevelt. is the black spot on the history of the United States. He stole the government of Panama, from my people, all of whom had held office in Panama before it was! taken away from Colombia." When questioned further, Mrs. Duque explained her relation with former President Mallarino and told that it was in 1848 that a treaty was signed between the United States and Colombia.

This treaty embodied a promise on the part of the United States that in the event of a revolution in the weaker one the stronger would intervene even to the extent of in landing troops to put down an insurrection if necessary. It: was while Roosevelt was President that Mrs. Duque claimed Roosevelt abrogated this treaty by refusing to intervene when Panama revolted.
