Throw Kisses and Flowers. The ex-President's departure from the city to go aboard his steamer" was marked by scenes that moved him to emotion. Although it was raining heav ily the reople gathered in crowds. The women kissed their hands to him. the children throw flowers in his path and the men cheered wildly. It was a spon taneous greeting to one who had been their friend. Turning to one of the members of his l'arty, Mr. Roosevelt said: "I am glad and proud, as an American iitlien. that my country could do some thing to help after this immense dis aster, for which even all the assistance In the world would be insufficient " Arising early this morning.

From the cone of the volcano, more than 3000 feet high a column of smoke arose majestleail v and was swept far away In f.ecv clouds The vlllaKe of Stromboll, ail white like a Moorish town, lay low down by the sea. At luncheon Mr. Roeevelt had before lilm the vase of carnations sent by the Herman Emperor. There was little ceremony over this meal, aad soon all rushed on deck again, so that they might not lose the view at the entrance of Messina harbor. All that was left of the population of that once busy city gathered early near the landing place to witness the arrival. As the Admiral approached the shore the ex-President made exactly the same remark as hundreds of others who have visited the ruins and ob served them from afar: "There is more standing than I ex pected."' When, however, he saw behind those shells of what once were walls of splen did palaces, he was aghast, saying that It was impossible to form any idea of the completeness of the disaster without ocu lar demonstration. City Revives Among Rains. There have been many changes in Mes sina since the early days just after the earthquake. All along the sea front now huts, tents and makeshifts of various kinds have been erected. There Is a cer tain noise and bustle, showing the city is resuming some of its former activity. Very small shops are tucked away ln doorways or in an Isolated room left here and there in the general destruction. Nu merous craft were to be noticed ln the harbor, from battleships to fruit schoon ers. - Mr- Roosevelt and his party explored the inner part of the town, now a desert waste, practically composed of a gigantic rubbish heap. Great blocks of stone and ancient columns lay scattered among the rubbish where dangerous walls had been pulled down. The line of the streets was preserved only by tracks worn bv the civilian survivors, the soldiers and the visitors. It seemed Impossible that any one should live in such a wilderness of ruins. Mr. Roosevelt was strangely moved bv the pitiful spectacle of a city destroyed, and on the way back he spoke sympa thetically of the sufferings of the Sici'. ians and of the mysterious influence that held them to their devastated country. Arrived again ln the populated quarters, it seemed as though the people were not so uphappy after all. They showed a (VPtgfn . . . , . ( uuiiienuneni, ana every where Mr. Roosevelt was greeted with enthusiasm. The scene about the harbor front was characteristic. The handsome Si cilian women, with their beautiful, half-naked children, appeared in their bright colors. The men of the Arab type were just as attractive in their own way. But In another sense the spectacle was touching, for here was a people, suddenly overwhelmed, struggling for existence but refusing to leave the land from sheer love of home. The crowds followed the Amer ican party wherever it went, cheering frequently and shouting, "Viva Amer ica, viva Roosevelt.' . , Acclaimed try Populace. Mr. Roosevelt lifted his hat repeatedly stopping sometimes to shake hands with the children. e left an impression on the people which never will be forgotten, of a strong man whose deepest sympa thies have gone out to them. The peo ple were still acclaiming the ex-President as he clambered aboard his steamer. As the Admiral sailed slowly out of the port it was seen that King Victor Emmanuel was standing on the bridge of the Re Umberto. The battleship sa luted the departing guest and the King waved his nand. while the ex-President replied with a waving of his hat. Although somewhat worn from his fatiguing excursion ashore, Mr. Roose velt said that he was exceedingly happy at his meeting the King. What he had Seen ln Afefistna I. n . i , .

During a conversation today Mr Roosevelt referred to a letter which he had written to Sir Harry H. Johnston, the British traveler and scientist, who has made a study of the negro and the problems of that race. In the letter Mr. Roosevelt Invited Sir Harry to go to Haytt so he might see the difference between the negro in America and the negro ln Africa. The United States at that time had a negro as Its represent ative at Haytl. The letter, he said, was intended to be private, but instead it was published. Mr. Roosevelt observed that this had created some embarrass ment for him. but he added that he pre ferred to- fight in the open Instead or trying to avoid ..ckling a vital question. "For example." he said "It is well known that I have often risked being assassinated, but not even to escape this would I resign myself to being shut up ln an Iron cage, because If I were so confined I would not be able to take any action." Bends' Messages to Mayors. Prior to leaving Messina, Mr. Roose velt telegraphed to the Mayors of Naples and Rome. To the former, after thanking him for the courtesy which he had received ln that city, he said: "At Messina I realize more keenly than before the dreadful nature of the disas ter which all the civilized world has mourned." To Mayor Nathan, of Rome, he wired: "Accept my hearty thanks for your very kind greeting. Through you I thank the people of Rome. I wish again to express my profound sorrow and the sympathy of the American people for their Italian brothers ln the overwhelm ing disaster which befell them." Sends Thanks to Kaiser. NAPLES.

'"Wherever," said he, "has trod the foot or civilized man; wherever the hoof of the camel has made its Imprint upon the SaT,ls, of the deEert. or wherever an artificial light is burned and wherever flies the flag of any nation there will be found the product of Standard Oil the product of America and Americans." The Federal attorney. Mr. Kellogg, con cluded his opening address for the Gov ernment shortly after noon and then C B. Morrison. Mr. Kellogg s chief asso ciate, finished the Government's opening of the argument in a two hours' dis cussion of alleged unfair competition scoring the Standard heavily. Original Concerns Competed. The crux of Mr. Kellogg's argument today was that the original 20 com panies Involved ln the trust agreement of 1879 and 1882 were at that time non-competitive and illegal under the then existing common law. The trust was, therefore, void. The same con spiracy to monopolize and restrain commerce had existed continuously until the present day, bringing the defendants well within the purview of the existing Sherman law, he in sisted. "The Standard Pipe Lines have re fused to comply with the laws of Con gress requiring them to act as common carriers and file tariffs with the Inter state Commerce Commission," was an other declaration of the attorney. Mr. Kellogg entered into a technical discussion of monopoly in general and the Standard Oil Company In particu lar. "The large monopolies threaten the commercial Independence ot the coun try," he said, by way ot commence ment. Judge Hook interrupted to ask the Federal lawyer It one person, without a corporation, could otfend under sec tion 2 of the Sherman law. Mr. Kellogg said an individual could. "It we can stretch human imagination far enough to conceive an individual's accomplishing the mo-opoly." Anticipating the argument of the de fense. Mr. Kellogg told the court its attorneys would not deny but that the original trust agreement was void under the Sherman act, as well as un der the common law. Defense Is Anticipated. "The company will claim probably " said the attorney, "that it is no longer receiving discriminatory rates, that it has ceased to employ secret and pre datory companies in competition and that it no longer engares ln unfair competition. Why? Because It had to "This court has the power," Mr. Kel logg said, "to prohibit the commerce of theee defendants between states as long as they continue to offend." "If these monopolies are permitted to exist unchecked.V declared Special tTnited States Attorney-General Frank B. Kellogg, "your children and mine will be mere employes of corporations and all turther initiative or enterprise will cease. History has shown that when unchecked by court or legisla tion, monopolies have been stopped by revolution." Ex-United States Attorney Morrison of Chicago, who is Mr. Kellogg's as sistant, described ln detail first the defense's marketing methods and the manner in which it secured records or its competitors' business through alleged secret agreements with em ployes throughout the country. It is now understood the lawyers for the defense have promised the court to finish their case Saturday. CONDENSED NEWS BY WIRE San Bernardino. Cal.

Senator Bourne had a further conference today with the postal officials concerning the rail way mall headquarters, and while Portland is fighting against odds, he is hopeful that the headquarters will be landed.
