and rain, which began to fall, added
sreatly to the difficulties of the journey!
mart k"! Whef tb8 Amerlcan workers
made their headquarters, a glass of wine
was offered to Mr. Roosevelt, who, raising
the glass, said:

nationality, who have worked and are
working to relieve what befell the Sicil
ian people."
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. Mr. Roose-
! L'."oa.oat on deck armed with
a pair of marine glasses. The air was
balmy and the sunshine brilliant. Afttr

column of smoke arose majestleail v
and was swept far away In f.ecv

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

leave a lasting impression. After a short
J"est he donned evening dress and went

flowers sent by Emperior William.
Talks of Johnston Ijetter.
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. April 6. Before leaving' Na
ples ex-President Roosevelt sent the fol
lowing telegram to the Emperor of Ger
many: "Pray accept my heartiest thanks for
your courtesy. A year hence I hope to
have the honor of telling you in person
of my luck."

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.

DASH FROM JAIL FAILS
Charles Day Captnred by Janitor as

OREGON CITY, Or., April (..-(Special.)
Charles Day, who has been in limbo
for about six weeks for holding up Louis
Qerber and George Sehulta some time
ago, and who was noted at that time as
the "walking arsenal," having ln his pos
session several guns and hundreds of
rounds of ammunition on his person
made an almost successful attempt at
escaping from the County Jail here last
night.
Some time ago two prisoners made their
escape from the jail by burning a hole
through the floor into the Assessor's of

which are so essential to make any
room appear cheerful and completed.

tastily arranged will completely trans
form a room. "iia
