To 11 r I st a A re Forced to
Ieave the City.
ROME. Wkprtl 3. The city bore the as
pect of aholiday, as a result of a great
strike of workmen. Inaugurated as a pro
test against the killing by the troops on
Thursday of three rioters and Plie wound
ing of IS others. No serious Incidents oc
curred during the day. Tourists -experienced
discomfort through a lack of cabs
and the cessation of streetcar traffic. Per
sons possessing automobiles took the
risk of being struck by stones when thetr
cars passed through the neighborhood
where- strikers were gathered.
J. Pterpont Morgan was requested by
tli authorities not to leave his hotel and
complied with the warning. Eight hundred
tourists who were annoyed by the strikers
left the city.
The strike so far has not been very
successful. Most of th shops are open,
although shutters have been put up in
the buildings as a protection against pos
sible riots. The Government has taken
energetic action to restore order and the
whole garrison of the city is being kept
In readiness. Several demonstrations had
been formed throughout the day, but
these were rapidly broken up by the
troops, who with ttxed bayonets, charged
upon disturbers and forced them to dis
perse. Seventy anarchists, who had gath
ered at their headquarters, were sur
rounded by tfoops and taken into custody.
At noon the movement had become more
ceneral. The drivers of mall wagons
which collect from the pillar boxes, re
fused and at once were replaced by sol
diers. Tim wagons are being escorted by
cavalry. One of the men injured yester
day, died today.
The conflict of yesterday came up in
the Chamber of Deputies today when Pre
mier Otolitti made a statement of the oc
currence. He said that while the demon
stranta suffered only W casualties, includ
ing dead and wounded, the protectors of
order police, carbineers and soldiers had
31 wounded. The Premier gave no opinion
regarding responsibility for the outbreak,
saying 'that this would be decided by the
Judicial authorities who had taken up an
Investigation.
Ernest Nathan, the Mayor ofc Rome,
ordered that, the flag over the capito!
tower be placed at half-mast as a sign
of mourning for the men who yesterday
lost their lives. This act Is commented
upon as showing clearly where are the
sympathies of the city authorities. It
Is the first time they have taken such
action In a case of this kind.

outline of Mr. Ryan's explanation of
the deal. Mr. Ryan said that when.it

ther suggestion was made to make it
through Mr. Ryan, W. C. 'Whitney,
Thomas N. Dolan, P. A. B. Widener and
William Klklns.
There was a further understanding that
they were to be reimbursed by the Metro
politan for their contributions with inter
est at 5 per cent. Consequently the Ave
men sent their personal checks for $100,
"0 to George J. Huhn & Sons, of Phila
delphia, by whom the money was paid
over to the campaign committee. It is
said that no mention is made In Mr.
Ryan's testimony as to which political
party received the money. It was two
years after the contribution was made,
said Mr. Ryan, before an opportunity was
given to repay the sums they advanced.
Then came the opportunity to purchase

TAFT MAKESTWOSPEEGHES
SECRETARY SPENDS BUSY DAY
IX CHICAGO.
Principal Address at Banquet of In
terdenominational Social Union
on Philippine Affairs.
CHICAGO, April 3. Secretary Taft ad
dressed members of the Inter-Denominational
Social Union, whose guejjt he was
at a banquet and reception tonight, on
the religious - question in its application
to affairs in the Philippines. An hour
later he was whisked away to speak to
members of the Hamilton Club, who
were engaged in their annual celebration
of "Appomattox day."
His talk to the clubmen was of an in
formal character and was for the most
part reminiscent of his administration in
the Islands possession. The occasions
were but the forerunnex'S of luncheons,
receptions and banquets which will
occupy most of the waking hours of the
Secretary until his departure for the
IVest. He was met by a committee rep
resenting the Commercial Club, as he ap
proached Chicago this afternoon at Wash
ington Heights, a suburb 17 miles out on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. There he
left the regular train upon which he
had been traveling and finished the trip
on a special train.
The railroad over which he was to
arrive having been kept secret by the
advice of the police, who wished to
avoid any possibility of trouble with
irresponsibles. the arrival of Mr. Taft
attracted but little attention. A corps
of photographers besieged him as he
was entering an automobile at the
railway station, and he graciously
stepped down and posed for them. At
the Auditorium Annex, where he will
stay during his visit, an informal re
ception was held before the com
mencement of the churchmen's ban
quet. '
A dozen newspapermen claimed his
attention first and were accorded an
Interview. The Secretary declared
that he had no desire to talk on poli
tics and faid he hoped to keep away
from that subject during his stay in
Chicago. He added that It. was im
possible to say when the subject might
he thrust upon him In spite of his
best Intentions. He was told of the
nomination of Thomas E. Watson by
the Populists in St. Louis today and
remarked that it was "very interest
ing." The really strepuous portion of the
programme mapped out for Mr. Taft's
entertainment will begin tomorrow
morning, with . a conference between
him and several prominent Republi
cans at the Annex. This will be fol
lowed with a luncheon at the Press
Club, a second at the Irish Fellowship
Club and a third at the Hamilton Club.
Then after will come a conference at
the rooms at the latter club and a ban
quet 'by the Commercial Club in the
evening.
Mr. Taft. in his address before the
church, speakmg of the capacity of the
Filipino, said:
"In my Judgment it wiH take two
generations to make the Filipinos so
fitted and experienced as to enable
them to carry on a government for
their own benefit."
