ROOSEVELT IN
LITTLE HUNGARY’
President Visits Most Cos-
mopolitan and Most Dan-
gerous Part of New
York City.
GUEST HUNGARIAN CLUB
Promised Years Ago to Visit
Thera If He Ever Became
President.—No President
There Before.
PRECAUTION OF POLICE
New York, Feb. 14.—After two
flays of receptions and dinners in
New York, President Roosevelt left
tonight over the Pennsylvania road
for Washington.
The events of the day included a
reception at the University club and
tonight, the event of his visit, the
dinner given by the Hungarian Re-
publican club at the restaurant "Lit-
tle Hungary,’’ on the East Side, where
a president has never been before.
The president, left the Hungarian
club dinner after making a brief
speech, in which he told of the duties
of an American citizen as he saw
them, and was driven directly to the
Desbrcsses street station, accompa-
nied by a squad of mounted police.
The ferryboat arrived in Jersey
City at 11:50, and some minutes after-
ward he boarded one of the two spe-
cial cars provided for him.
New York, Peb. 14.—For the first
time since the days when he was gov-
ernor of New York, President Roose
velt visited the East Side, where, aa
a guest of the Hugarlan Republican
club, he dined and spoke at the res-
taurant, "Little Hungary."
Guarded by mounted police ana
secret service men, through the streets,
cleared and cordoned bv patrolmen, he
drove from the upper 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.
Never Before Did a
President Visits This Section.
From the moment his carriage en
terefl the district he received an ova
tlon. Never liefore has a president ot
the United States visited this little
known part of Nw York, and nevei
l>efore had a fraction of the thousands
that cheered him seen a nation's
ruler.
The district through which the presi-
dent drove and in which he dined Js
not the safest in the great city, and
the police took no chances. So strin-
gent were the precautions that not a
flashlight photograph was allowed to
be taken, and uniformed police, plain
clothes men and detectives fairly
swarmed inside and out of “Little
Hungary.” ,
Detectives end Plain Clothes
Swarm the Neighborhood.
They were stationed on the roofs
and fire escapes in the neighborhood
and for two blocks on either side ol
East Houston street a cordon of police
cut off the crowds. Ordinary police
cards permitting entry into firs, lines
and similar places were suspended by
order of Police Commissioner McAdoo
and no one without an Invitation to
the dinner was permitted to pass the
tautly drawn line of patrolmen.
The night was almost the coldest ol
the winter, but did not depress tbt
spirits of the crowd.
By 6 o'clock East Houston street
and vicinity was blocked by as cosmo-
politan a crowd as could be gathered
in any city in the world. At that
hour the police began to clear the
streets and draw their lines, through
which admission was gained only by
special permit. A trooop of mounted
police rode slowly into the crowd,
and, working east and west, gradually
moved the sightseers into side streets,
where another line was established
to keep them back. The crowds were
in the best of humor and no disorder
or resistance occurred.
Every Entrance
Welt Guarded.
Every entrance to a, resldenso or
store within the police line was guard-
ed by an officer, while on the house-
tops opposite the cafes stood police-
men. to keep these vantage points
clear of any evil disposed person. The
men took up their stations with the
certainty of well arranged plans, and
•whenever some belated home-comer
whose residence was within the guard-
ed zone appeared be was accompanied
to his door by an officer, and left with
a caution to remain indoors.
Tenants of nearby bouses 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.
People Driven - ,
From Own Windows.
Driven from the straps, they crowd-
ed the front windows and out on the
fire escapes of the tenements. They
were posted In this way by the hun-
dred. With the ‘buildings bristling
with faces from every point of vant-
age, there was a hurried conference
of police officials held. They evident-
ly did not like the situation. As a re-
sult everyone waa driven from the
fire escapes and from the open win-
dows. which were ordered locked, but
no objection was mads to the
pants looking through the glasi. On
every fire eucape was a uniformed po-
liceman. Prom the entrance of “L4t-
tle Hungary” could be seen more than
fifty policemen in uniforms on numer
fire escapes, while others peered
over cornices, and still others wt»re
stationed in the hallways of the tecta-
ing tenements.
President Roosevelt was punctual io
his schedule. He was due to arrive
at 7: SO and five minutes before that
time the cheering began on Avenue B.
The police line came to attention and
the hand stationed near the cafe
struck up "The Star Spangled Ban-
ner.” But after the opening bar not
a horn could be heard. A wave ol
cheering swept ahead of the preslden
tial party and grew into a roar such
as the East Side tenement, walls nevei
echoed before.
Roosevelt Returns
The Greetings.
The winJow order was forgotten.
Sashes went up simultaneously. Wav-
ing from his carriage window and
bowing, the president returned the
polyglot greeting. There was no delay.
A lane was made quickly through the
people massed at the police line in
Avenue A, a block from its intersection
with East Houston street and car-
riages with their mounted police es
eort swept up to the door of the res-
taurant.
At the entrance to the cafe there
were welcoming cheers, the president
doffing his hat. Mounted police lined
up the opposite entrance until the
party entered the cafe.
Still "Mr. Commissioner”
To Many of Bluecoat*.
Six years ago Governor Roosevelt
was entertained at the same place an.l
when he was police commissioner lie
became familiar with every turn of the
narrow streets through which he
passed tonight. In his police escort
tonight there were some of the men
who wore their badges under him
when he headed the "Force," and who
still address him as “Mr. Commis-
sioner.”
When the president drove up to
"Little Hungary" tonight he fulfilled
the promise made to the members of.
the Hungarian Republican club sev
era! years ago, that he would be their
guest at a banquet If their prediction
came true; if he was ever In the
White House.

ADMITS CHARGES
Explains the Hdmieide In-
dictment Which Was
Sprang in House
By Mr. Hearst.
FATHER WAS CONVICTED
Killed Drunken Man by Knock-
ing Him Down With His
Fist — Young: Sullivan
Technically Guilty,
HOUSE APPLAUDS SPEECH
Washington, X C. Feb. 14.-—The
second chapter In the episode be-
tween Su'livan of Massachusetts and
Hearst of New York occurred tn tho
house today, wlon Sullivan again
took the floor or. the question of per-
sonal privilege and related the cir-
cumstances letilt -g up to the indict-
ment and ern fiction of his father
and hlm->e!f for manslaughter.
In docldsa contrast to the remarks
of yesterday, when the two men heap-
ed upon each other epithets and char-
ges of a serhus nature, Sullivan's
statement today was devoid of any
further attack op his colleague and
was a straight recitation of the occur-
rence referred ‘c by Hearst yester-
day.
Sullivan admitted the charge, but
said he had only been technically gulh
ty- and wns permitted to leave the
court a free man without serving a
day's Unpiisoncunt or being subject-
ed to a fine. Lis father had been im-
prisoned a year and a half, hut on
the introduction of evidence, hts fath-
er was pardoned,
Sullivan’s statement was listened to
with marked attention, and at Its con-
clusion ;te was warmly applauded,
many members leaving their seats
and shaking h » hand. Hearst was
not present during the time he spoke.
' The remainder of the day was de-
voted to the consideration of the na-
val appropriation bill.
Washington. Feb. 14.—Sulllvan-
Hcurst episodi? .bad another airing In
the house today when Mr. Sullivan,
again rising on the question of per-
sonal privilege, declared that on yes-
terday Mr. Hearst had ignored his of
fer to make a statement concerning
his connection with the homicide to
which Mr. Hearst alluded.
Mr. Sullivan admitted It to be true
that on November 24. 1885. his father,
Eugene J. Sullivan, and himself were
convicted of manslaughter In the sis
perlor court of Middlesex' county,
MasB.
Sullivan Explains
Manslaughter Charge.
"The case arose In this manner,”
said Mr. Sullivan. “My father was the
sole proprietor of a licensed hotel
known as tho Central house In Cam-
bridge. Mass. An intoxicated man,
who was not a guest and had not en-
tered tho hotel that day, came to the
main door and my father, aeelng him,
shut the door against hid,
"Thereupon the man went around
to the back door and broke a window,
My father went out upon the street
took the man by the collar and de
manded that he pay for the damage
he had done. The man responded by
striking him and a fight ensued.
No Weapons
Were Used.
"It is a fact, and one that has nevei
been denied, that no weapons of any
kind were used on either side. I came
up at. the time when my father was
being overpowered by this man and
took the part of my father in the
struggle. The jury found that the
man was knocked down by a blow
from my father’s fist and struck his
head against a curb stone and be-
came unconscious. There was testi-
mony In the trial of the case that he
never recovered consciousness and
died some two days after tbe assault.
Elder Sullivan
Wat Convicted.
"At the conclusion of the trial my
father wag sentenced to three years
In the house of correction. The dis-
trict attorney on hi* own motion. *tat
ed to the court that he .would ask that
no sentence against me be passed at
l was but a boy of seventeen years,
in my first year as the Boston Law
school and without any moral guilt in
the matter at all; that I was held solely
because f was present and was a party
concerned In the assault, and was only
technically guilty.
"Accordingly the court placed my
case on file. / was not fined one cent
nor imprisoned one minute. After
eighteen months of my father's tern
had been served the governor’s coun-
cil of Massachusetts pardoned him,
and their action was due to the fan
that two witnesses who did not ap-
pear it the trial In court came before
the governor's council and testlflei
one that he had gone with the de-
ceased next dav io a hotel In Boston,
where he obtained liquor, and that
the deceased came back with him
that night intoxicated.
Man Died of
Another Injury.
The other witness testified that
during the night tbe deceased got up
In his house and while proceeding
toward tbe yard which adjoined the.
premise*, foil down a filght of stain,
was then picked up unconscious,
brought to his bod and remained
there without regaining consciousness
until he died. This raised a doubt in
the minds at the governor's council
as to whether the fa!! upon the cuib
stone had caused the man's death
or the fall down the stairs, most of
them inclining the view that it was
the fall down stairs which 'produced
the fracture of the skull that resulted
In the unconscK>u.MU'?s from whtc i
he never recovered
Under Circumstances
Would Again 6ffen.l Father.
"I am constrained to say, however."
said Me, Sullivan, that if my father
were now alive ind ne were to be
attacked in n> presence I would
come sgaiu to hi! defense." All the
facts, he saW wpre fully published
in all the newspapers in the city of
Boston at the Unje and were before
his constituent* When he was elect tel
to the MaseaehubjMts senate In 1802
and 1304, end "It wa not,” he said
in conclusion, “up II 20 years after
that alleged offense that any Individ
ual was found felt that it was
necessary or pScrt'i allude to the
circumstances (.fertile ease."
Mr. Hearet wi not on the floor
when Mr SnllfYfin spoke, but came
in soon afterward.
Applause Given
Sullivan’* 8tal*nuret.
Mr. Sullivan rWded loud applause
from both sides of the chamber when
he declared that he walked out of
the court a free, man and had not
been Imprisoned a day nor fined a
cent. Apclause bntjkc out afresh when
he declared that pnritr similar cir-
cumstances if his father was aiive he
would go to his dhf' nve. He took hi*
seat amid renewed applause, several
members going to Ids seat and shak-
ing his hand.
Mr. Sullivan coiitTiued. his republi-
can colleague, Mr Gardner, feeling-
ly spoke of his intimate association
with Mr. SnUivad in the Massachu-
setts senate, He testified to Mr. Sulti

great applause that •'there is no man

IGNORES ROOSEVELT NOTE
Washing!oil, D. C, Feb. 14.—The
senate today passed the agricultural
appropriation bill and began a con-
sideration of the bill making appro-
priations for the District of Columbia.
The H&nsbrough amendment to the
agricultural bill, relative to the draw-
backs on tile duty on wheat, was
agreed to after an extended debate, In
which the tariff questions figured to a
considerable extent. The usual three
hours was given to the trial If Im-
peachment charges against Judge
Swayne.
In connection with that case, the
senate decided to take no testimony
on the point, of the Judge’s residence
outside his district; also that Judge
Swayne’s statement to the houes com-
mittee could not he ttse:l as evidence
In tho trial.
Senator Lodge Compiles
Rule* on Treaty Ratification.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.—Senatoi
Lodge presented to the senate today
a list of all general and particular ar
bltratlon treaties, of arbitration ar
tides In treaties containing other pro-
visions. that had been submitted to
the senate.
The senator has compiled also a
statement showing the constitutional
methods of making and ratifying
treaties in certalu foreign countries
The statement was ordered printed as
a public document.
Tim disposition of each treaty is
given by the statement. It show*
forty-four submitted, of which forty-
three were ratified ami one, the Olney
Pgancefoto treaty with Great Britain,
rejected, 6f the treaties ratified,
thirty-seven were not amended and six
were amended. Steven arbitration
agreements had been entered Into with
out being submitted to the senate
They all provided for the settlement
of private claims and were with Brazil,
Colombia. Mexico, Spain, Domingo and
two with Hayti.
Tho dominlcan treaty Is the San
Domingo Improvement company case,
Inquired Into by Senator Bacon's reso-
lution Introduced yesterday.
The compilation of the laws cover-
ing ratification treaties with all coun-
tries with which the United States has
negotiated such treaties, shows that
in every Instance the executive must
secure the approval of at least one
and in most cases both parliamentary
bodies, ami except In the case ot
Switzerland, where the parliamentary
body Is supreme In treaty-making, the
executive having none of the power
and of Great Britain, where the king
must secure the approval of the com
mlttee of parliament analgous with the
foreign relations committee of the
senate of tbe United States.
The announcement 1h made by Sena-
tor Lodge that be will not make any
statement in answer to the letter of
the president, which charged that the
ratification of arbitration treaties wiln
the amendment adopted was a step
backward ami not, a step forward.
"So far as I know, no one Is going
to make a statement on that subject,"
said he.
Nomination of Maj.
Llewellyn Confirmed.
Washington. Feb. 14.—The senate
today confirmed these nominations:
J. B. Reynolds, Massachusetts, as-
sistant secretary of the treasury; Eu-
gene A. Tucker, Nebraska, associate
Justice of the Supreme court of Ari-

Latest Statehood
Movement.
Washington, Feb. 14.—A conference
among members of the senate has
iteen In progress today looking to an
amendment to accept the decision of
the hdtgo on the statehood Mil if that
body should determine upon amend-
ing it to admit only Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory aa one state and elimi-
nate all that part which relates to
New Mexico.
The close vote In the senate over
tbe proposition to admit Arizona and
New Mexico as one state seems to
preclude the possibility of an agree-
ment in regard to these territories. At
the same time, the demand for the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory has been so great that there
is a disposition to come to an agree-
ment that would save that portion of
I he bill.

London, Felt. 14.—The sixth ses-
sion of the First parliament of his

pageantry which has marked the cere-
mony since his accession. The sov-
ereign himself read his speech from
the throne to the assembled lords and
commons In the upper chamber. The
document was commonplace.
The only reference to the Russo-
Japanese war. which the king said
"unhappily continues.” was to an-

been careful to observe In the strictest
manner the obligations Incumbent
Upon a neutral power.”
Congratulatory references were

Lengthiest Paragraph la
Devoted to Balkan Trouble.
The eingthlest paragraph, devoted
to the Balkans, says the situation con-
tinues to give cause for anxiety. "The
measures adopted at, the Instance of
the Austro-Russlan governments have
been Instrumental In bringing about
some amelioration in the Btate of dis-
turbed districts, but "these measures
have still to be supplemented by radi-
cal reforms, especially of the financial
system, before any permanent im-
provements can he affected in admin-
istration of these provinces of the
Turkish empire.”
The speech noted with satlcfactlon
that the Austro-Russlan governments
had addressed to the porte proposals
for this purpose and added that the
British government was In communi-
cation with the powers concerned
upon this important subject.
Government May
Be Able to Hold Out.
London, Feb. 14—Tbe first day's
proceedings In parliament left a rath-
er decided Impression In the lobbies
that the government will manage to
hold out until the end of the session.
The government's legislative pro-
gram, witch is devoted tn the main to
social reforms, will be fairly popular,
while the avoidance of difficult ques-
tions like that of redistribution of
seats and Premier Balfour's firmness
in thrusting aside tho fiscal problem
all will tend In the same direction.
On the other hand, the liberals ap-
pear to be as distant as ever from
any approach to unanimity on tbe
vexed question of leadership. Sir
Henry Campbell Ban Herman, Earl
Spencer, Herbert Henry Asquith and
Sir Henry Hartley Fowler have all
lieen s|H»ken of bs possible leaders of
the next liberal ministry, to say noth-
ing of Uml Rosoberry's even super-
ior claim to that position, should he
be Inclined to exert his undoubted in-
fluence.
Everything will depend on Balfour'*
success in holding his follower* to-
gether and overcoming the apathy
born of a knowledge that the whole
country, (s looking tor and expecting
the general election.,

ter during a performance given by
Maxine Elliott and her company.
While the second act waa on the odor
of smoke, aparently coming from the
upper part, of the house created uneasi-
ness among the audience, which prob
ably waa the largest of the season.
The curtain was rung down and some
one in the gallery shouted: "There l»
a fire up here." Persons In all parts
of the house began reaching for their
wrap*. The audience, however, wa*
quieted and the panic averted.
