WELCOME TO
THE ATHLETES
Americans Visit MattuCCi on
VesuVius Slope for
Athens in High Spirits.

NAPLES, April Ii. - Vesuvius yet
mutters and threatens. The volcano is
still surrounded by a thick cloud Of
smoke, but ashes have almost ceased
TO fall.
Many Americans, including passen-
gers of the White Star line steamer
Cretic and the North German Lloyd
steamer Barbarossa, have visited the
Yesuvius slope. The police and car
bineers tried hard to prevent some OF
them from going farther up, to the OBJ
servatory, saying that 1t was not safe.
Professor Mattucci said that while
all danger appeared to be over the
normal condition of the volcano would
not be re-established for several weeks.
Bodies are still being exhumed from
the ruins at Ottajano and San Giu-
seppe.
The North German Lloyd steamer
Barbarossa, from New York April 8
and Gibraltar April 13, having on board
the American athletes who are entered
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-04-17

to compete in the Olympic games which
begin at Athens April %, arrived here.
Her arrival was the signal for a popu-
lar demonstration of welcome. as she
also had on board the Duke of Orleans,
who boarded the steamer at Gibraltar.
The Duke and Duchess of Aosta and
many other notabilities were on the
pier. where a band played the Italian
and French national anthems.
The Americans landed soon after the
Barbarossa's arrival. Some of them
visited the scenes of d~esolation in the
vicinity of Mount Vesuvius, but the
majority of the athletes, accompanied
by their trainers, practiced running,
jumping, etc, in order to test their
condition after the sea voyage.
The men who were injured by a gil
gantic wave which swept wei the Bar
barossa, with the exception of James
S. Mitchell of the New York Athletic
club, the weight putter and hammer
thrower, and Harry l.. Hillman, Jr..
the New York Athletic club runner.
have recovered. Mitchell's arm is still
in a sling and may interfere with his
competing. and Hillman's left leg is
still bandaged.
All the Americans were in good spir-
its and insisted that the accidents
would not appreciably affect the
strength of the team.

MADE WAR ON
POOLROOMS
Jockey Club He'' Up All Mes
sages From AqueduCt-- Drastic
Action TO Stop Gambling.

NEW YORK. April lin an effort
to entirely dis~associate racing in this
state from any connection with pool
room gambling in New York city or
elsewhere the Queens County JockeS
club at Aqueduct took charge of all
telegraph wires running into the
grounds and established Il strict cen
sorshlp over ali kilograms, incoming
and outgoing. with a dead line delay
of twenty minutes on all of the outgo-
ing messages.
Not only did the Jockey club strictly
guard the telegraph wires, but it with
held all advance information as to
n~onstarters. the assignment of jock
eys. etc, even TO those within the race
Enclosure.
The Withholding of this information
is a severe blow to the poOlFOom sery-
ice. as without it the proprietors u
bettors in such establishments must
operate largely in the dark.
Various subterfuges were resorted
to to overcome the obstacles set by
the Jockey club. but the sending of
messengers to nearby points to tele-
phone the results was the only prog
ress the poolroom interests made
against the new order of things. In
each instance the messenger had to
repay his admission into the grounds,
a three dollar fee being exacted for
the grand stand Enclosure.
Further efforts undoubtedly will be
made to establish a system for trans
hitting race news, but the Jockey
club officials say they have the salts
faction of knowing they have done
everything within their power to abol-
ish the p%oolrooms. where they claim
the only harm of horse racing is done.
The system adopted at Aqueduct was
under the direction of the Jockey club
the controlling body of the eastern
| turf. and will prevail at all tracks IN
this state during the racing season.

HIS APPOINTMENT WAS
THROUGH CIVIL SERVICE
Letter from Philadelphia to Local
Custom House Tells of Reidy's
Appointment as Janitor.

Some one has written to the secre-
tary of the Civil Service Commission,
at Philadelphia, Pa, complaining
that the ~janitor of the new federal
building was not appointed under civ
il service rules and that politics must
have been the cause.
The letter was unsigned, but in JUS
tice to the local officers of the custom
house the following communications
received by the local custom officials
from the civil service headquarters
in Philadelphia, are published:
philadelphia, Pa.
The following communication has
been received at this office under
date of April IA, 1906, and to cor
rect misrepresentation existing in some
minds, statement of the facts is made
for the public information.
Perth Amboy, April II, 1906.
The Secretary,
philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sir:-How is it that the jan
itor of the custom house does not
have to go. under a civil service exam
nation, as the Waterman and fireman
do? The present j~anitor did not and
there was an examination, and he was
appointed. There must have been pol
tiles behind it.
The letter is unsigned.
The writer presumably refers to
the appointment of Benjamin A. RE
dy, as ~ianitor in the new federal bull
ding at Perth Amboy. Riedy passed
the examination for boatman and jan
itor in 1908, and was duly appointed
as a result of that examination. When
the position of j~anitor was establish,
ed in the new building, the custodi
ans request for his transfer was sem
to this Office, and upon the advice o
this office, the formal request of ii
treasury department for his transit
was made. The transfer, being in Ell
tire accord with the civil service NJ.
and rules, was approved by tn init
ed States Civil Service Comm $50
and the department made t..c as.
pointment of Riedy, under such 3p
prevail in accordance with the law.
This explanation is made in wow
of the charge contained in the letter
quoted above, inasmuch as the ques-
ton was settled through this Office,
and it is but just to the local officers
at Perth Amboy that the public have
the facts officially set forth.

MINISTER MAY
BE RECALLED.
Chinese Representative to This
Country Causes an AffrOnt
to Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON. April 17.-Beeause
of reflections made on Representative
Edwin DENLY of Michigan in a letter
the Chinese minister, Sir Chentung
LANG Cheng, has stirred up complica-
tons here that may result in his re-
call. In any event, the minister has
given a serious setback to the efforts
of this government to smooth over the
troubles arising from Chinese exclu-
sion and the Chinese boycott. and it is
believed the plans for Legislation at
this session have been irreparably
damaged by his hlunder.
The difficulty has arisen over a letter
written on April 8. In this the minis
ter used strong language in refuting
statements by Representative DENLY
before the house foreign affairs COM
Chinese exclusion. In closing his let
ter the minister practically accused
Mr.. DENLY of falsifying and of giving
rein to a fertile Imagination.
Mr.. DENLY had declared in his testi-
mOny that Chinese officials had been
guilty Of issuing fraudulent certificates
TO persons intending to migrate to
America. The minister said such
frauds could moi be blamed on Chinese
officials and added:
II consider the intimation of Mr..
DENLY that but for the vigilance Of
the immigration officers there would
have been a traffic in bringing in illegal
Chinese which would have enriched
thousands of officials and our country
would have been overrun with them
as If there had been no exclusion law
as an emanation from a fertile imagi-
nation rather than a trustworthy judg-
ment founded on cold facts"
Representative DENLY made this
statement last night:
ut was to have been expected that
his excellency would not admit that
the Chinese officials have been guilty
of fraud. because he is the Chinese
minister. My statements were based
on facts and fair inference. Every as
sertion can be easily proved"
In diplomatic circles it is said I'M
hesitatingly that the use of this Ian
guage constitutes q diplomatic affront
and a violation of the diplomatic law
that forbids public comment by a min
lister or ambassador on matters pend
ing before the Legislative body of the
country to which he is accredited.
The matter was called to Mr.. Den
by's attention by the publication of the
hearings on Chinese exclusion.
One of the developments threatened
is a demand by the house for the Sc
cret records of the immigration bureau
tending to show, it is charged, an or
ganized movement by steamship COM
panies, Chinese officials and others to
bring into this country great numbers
of coolies. Another fact which it is
said will be revealed is the existence
Of thousands of illegal immigration
certificates at the state department is
sued by Chinese officials.
Mr.. DENLY is a SOL of the former
minister to China and a brother of
Chief Clerk DENLY of the state depart
ment. He is thoroughly familiar with
Chinese affairs.
