It was originally intended to conclude the reception with a mon­ ster parade, and invitations were, is­ sued to various organizations through­ out the country. Within a few days, however,, the committee was flooded with so many applications that the parade feature had to }>e in part aban­ doned. Organizations from Maine to California and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes requested places In the line of march, and if the project had been carried out, the procession would have extended from the Battery, to the Harlem river and back again, a distance of 20 miles, and the people who had traveled hundreds of miles to see Roosevelt would have been de­ prived of the pleasure. In order to overcome this obstacle so that no one would be offended, a unique arrange­ ment was adopted by the committee.

Seven Leap Into Water and Four Drown--Remainder Rescued and Pl«e#<rl In Ireng, Philadelphia.--A mutiny on board the British steamship Highland Mon­ arch, outward bound for Auckland, N Z , followed hy a dash for liberty by a dozen Chinese members of the crew, resulted in thed rowning of four and the narrow escape of three others. The men rescued are in a police sta­ tion while the remainder of the mu­ tineers are in Irons aboard the ship. The trouble started in the night. The Highland Monarch had been lying in the Schuylkill river at Point Breeze in the extreme southwestern part of the city for three weeks, loading with case oil for New Zealand. As the United States immigration law places a fine of $600 on the cap­ tain of a steamship for every Chinese member of a crew that escapes, the 20 Chinese aboard were not permitted to leave the vessel, while- the other 20 men in the crew, all Englishmen, were given liberal snore leave. The confinement grew irksome, and as the ship was soon to sail one of the Mongolians asked First Mate Bow­ man to allow him a few hours on shore. Being refused, the Chinese drew a knife and chased the first mate about the ship. v The man was finally tripped by a white member of the crew, and in fall­ ing cut himself. He waa placed in irons, and an hdUr later nearly all the Chinese made a break for liberty. stenograph, copyright, bp- Dndarwood A Uaderwood. N. T.

Early in the morning this immense flotilla sailed far down the bay, and when, about 9 o'clock, the scouting tugs and motor boats came flying In with the word that the Kaiserin Au- guste Victoria was approaching, all made ready for the first greeting. As the big liner came into sight, ev­ ery whistle on every vessel was tied open and shrieked the welcome to the returning wanderer. Colonel Roose­ velt, with Mrs. Roosevelt and Ker- mlt by his side, stood on the deck, waving his hand and smiling the far miliar smile, and the waiting thou­ sands cheered him again and again. Reception Committee Takes Him. At Quarantine the necessary for­ malities were quickly over and the official reception committee took the colonel and his party aboard its rev­ enue cutter. That vessel at once started up the harbor and all the gaily decorated craft, filled with clubs and private parties, fell In behind and formed a most spectacular water pa­ rade. On almost every boat was a band, and all the way the musicians played at the top of their lungs. The shores were black with people who shouted their greetings to "Teddy" as he passed and the factories and mills added the noise of their whis­ tles to the general din. So it went all the way up to Twen­ ty-third Btreet, where the parade turned and made its way back to the Battery. At that historic spot at the lower ^nd of Manhattan island Col­ onel Roosevelt landed to receive the formal welcome home. Welcomed by Mayor Oaynor. In an enclosure la the center of Bat­ tery park were 200 distinguished "Dead Man" Returns. Last July the dead body of a found hanging to a tree in Weehaw-' ken, N.

Strange to say the supposed dead man is now at home, alive and well.

The procession itself was compara­ tively small and was led by the mount­ ed police of New York, who were fol­ lowed by the police band on foot Then came the escort of 500 Rough Riders under the command of Robert Hunter of Oklahoma city, president of the organization. Colonel Roose­ velt came next in a carriage, and his carriage was followed by a long pro-, cession of vehicles containing the members of the committee and the speakers. The procession made Its way up Broadway to Fourth street where it turned into Fifth avenue and pro­ ceeded up that thoroughfare to Fifty* ninth street, where it disbanded. The route was lined with visiting organiza­ tions, and their bands struck up as the procession approached and con­ tinued until it had passed by. • In order that Mrs. Roosevelt might share in her husband's honors and view the procession from an advan­ tageous point, Mrs. Donald McLean, president of the Daughters of the American Revolution, had cabled her an invitation to be the guest of honor at a luncheon at Sherry's tendered by prominent members of various fe­ male organizations. Following the parade, Mr. Roosevelt joined his fam­ ily and a little later went to his Long island home.

President Taft decided to make an issue of the passage by con­ gress before the adjournment of the present session of the bill for pub­ licity of campaign contributions! in all campaigns affecting federal offices. The president sent for party lead­ ers in both the house and the senate Monday and told them his views re­ garding this proposed legislation. Mr. Taft said he had made a personal pledge In the last presidential cam­ paign to do what he could to further the enactment of a publicity bill. The president had hesitated to add this bill to his program, however, while congress was devoting itself to meas­ ures to which the party had commit­ ted itself definitely in its platform. Now that the program is practically completed he has decided, to bring all of his influence to bear on behalf of the publicity bill.

Thousands of letters have accumu^ lated and more ax€ arriving daily. Many of them are friendly greetings, more contain political advice and not a few are from old friends with whom the colonel has been corresponding. It may interest the writers to know that the great mass of this corre­ spondence \Will never reach Roose­ velt's eye. Some of it may be seen by persons employed to look after it, but it is not really believed that all the letters will be read. "I would be glad if you make it known," said the colonel to the news­ paper men Monday; "that the volume Of correspondence is so great that I cannot give it my personal attention. It will be a kindness for well disposed strangers to refrain from writing me or sending me telegrams.
