ROOSEVELT HEROES
WINCE AT PROSPECT
OF BROADWAY MARCH
NEW YORK Feb. 16.—(P)—Captain
George Fried and the men be command-
ed on the Steamship President Roose-
veil tonight were finding the strain of
acknowledging the plaudits of hero-
worshipping thousands quite as great
as fighting the gates of the sea. The
men who for three days and nights fear-
lessly bottled a hurricane in mid-ocean
to rescue 25 British seamen from the
sinking freighter Antinoe, winced today
before the prospects of marching up
Broadway packed with hundreds of
thousands of persons who were anxious
to do homage to the heroes.
The second day of festivities, which
began almost as soon as the President
Roosevelt had dropped anchor yester-
day at Quarantine, got underway short-
ly before noon when the municipal tug
Macom brought captain Fried and his
crew from their ship at Hoboken, N.
J. to the battery. It was New York
City's day, and the schedule was full.

ors, soldiers, marines, coast guards and
bodies comprising members of the Ame-
rican Legion veterans of foreign wars,
and the neptune associations, the heroes
where they were officially received by
Mayor Walker on behalf of the city.
The line of march was along a lane of
waving, cheering humanity. Confetti
and long strips of ticker tape rained
down like snow.

CANNES, France. Feb. 16.-)-
Suzanne Lenglen remains undisputed
woman tennis campion of the world by
virtue of her victory today over Helen
Wills, but for a few minutes it seemed
as though her reign might end.
It was a wonderful match between
the greatest women players of the old
and the new world, in the singles finals
of the Carlton tournament which pack-
ed the stands with enthusiastic sup-
porters of the two contestants and
brought together huge clamoring
crowds outside the gates who were un-
able to get in.
The score was 6-3, 8-6 in favor of
Mlle. Lenglen after one of the meat
dramatie matches In the history of ten-
nis, ending with both near the verge of
collapse.
The California girl took the lead in
the first set as had been hoped by her
supporters, and the score stood 2-1 at
the end of the third game. But the
French champion, playing with old
time skill and finesse, evened matters
in the fourth, and won also the fifth
and sixth. Helen took the next game,
but Suzanne finished the set with care-
ful placements.
It was in the second set, however,
that all the dramatic features of the
contest were displayed. From start to
finish it was give and take, each
striving at the end for the extra point
that would spell victory.
Played Good Game
Miss Wills performed far above her
usual game, while Mile. Lenglen at
times trembling with emotion, stroked
like one in pain.
From the point of view of tennis, the
contest was not what kad been ex.
pected. But, after all, the interests lay
in the meeting of Suzanne and Helen.
Both seemed conscious of the respon-
sibility resting on them, and for once
the -motions of the California girl were
not entirely held in check. Care and
caution dominated the play, which dur-
ing the greater part of the time was
from the baseline. But as the fight be-
came more bitter, extra driving power
was put into the strokes, and when
finally Mlle. Lenglen had achieved vie-
SEC. DAVIS SAYS NAVAL AIR SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Feb 16.—(P)Aft-
or a day of conferences surrounded
by a veil of official secrecy. Secretary
Davis of the labor department an-
nounced tonight that decision on the
question of admitting the counites of
Cathcart to the United States would
be delayed, possibly for several days.
The announcement was made after
It had been stated that a final order
In the case, which involves charges
of moral turpitude growing out of the
elopment of the countess with the earl
of Craven several years ago, would
be issued late today.
Attorneys for the countess, who has
been denied admission to the United
States by immigration officers of New
York and who to held at Ellis Island,
were given a hearing yesterday by the
Department's board of review. Be-
cause of the importance the ease has
attained, the board’s recommendations
were given personal consideration by
Secretary and hia decision to defer
final action, he explained, waa due to
hia desire to satisfy himself on all
potato involved before defining the de-
partments’s position.
Some of the questions raised, he
said, require further study. He de-
scribed these aa being of a “semi-
legal” nature but declined to any
whether they had to do with public
policy in applying the immigration
law.
Meanwhile, William A. Deford, at-
torney for the countess, had returned
to New York and to understood to be
prepared to institute habeas corpus
proceedings to test the law in its ap-
plication to hia client, if the final
ruling should call for her exclusion.
In case such a writ to issued, it would
be possible for the countess to enter
the United States under bond.

made the tears flow down her face as
friends gathered about her. but the
cheers of the multitude soon brought
back the smile of the victor. 4
"I told you you would have to con-
gratulate me,” she said to one who had
previously expressed some doubt as to
her ability to win.
Helen Wills, with youth in her favor,
took the defeat philosophically. "There
will be other tennis matches; other
years are coming,” was all she would
say.
Enter Court Together
The two champions entered the court
together and were immediately sur-
sounded by the ubiquitous cameramen.
Suzanne was laughing, but with a
somewhat strained, pinched look. Helen
had her usual impassive expression.
The French girl was gorgeously adorn-
ed In pale rose silk and full length
sleeve sweater and pale rose turban to
match. Helen, wearing a plain white
sailor blouse with flowing collar, looked
like a simple achoos girl accompanying
an Indian queen.
Upon her arrival from Nice, Mlle.
Lenglen was nearly mobbed by her ad-
mirers and had the greatest difficulty
in making her way through the crowds
which were larger outside the courts
than in the stands. The roofs of neigh-
boring houses were burdened no beavily
with spectators that they might be ex-
pected to crash in at any moment. Per-
iscopes were used by men standing out-
side the high fences to get a view of
the play.
The match was contested under most
trying circumstances, fully 2,000 spec-
tators from the most varied outside
vantage points imaginable kept up a
running fire, cheering, talking and
commenting to the intense annoyance
of Suzanne, who spoke to the crowd
after the manner of a queen address-
ing her subjects, ordering them to re-
main silent. When her orders were ig-
nored, she pleaded "please be quiet.”
One section of the stand was occu-
pied by members of various royal fam-
ilies, including former King Manuel of
Portugal, grand Duke Michael of Rus-
sia. Prince George of Greece, the Rajah
of Padukota and others. The absence
of the duke of Connaught, who had
promised to be present, was interpre-
ted as a sign of poor health.
The multi-colored dresses shining in
the bright Riviera sunshine presented
a kaleidoscopic picture In which red
shades predominated. Pony parasols
opened by pretty women to protect
their complexions were soon brought
down by the enraged cries of specta-
tors standing behind, whose view was
obscured.
CHARLESTON BANNED

their steps in private places in Lincoln

dren five years old are dancing the
