At 1890 A. m the party left Ponce
in automobiles for san Juan, going
over the famous military road. Stops
OF three minutes each were made at

each place the president was welcomed
by the mayor. and spoke briefly from
his automobile. At Cayey luncheon
was served, the officers OF the Porto
Rico regiment being the hosts. At
Caguas the president was given re-
markable reception. Here he spoke at
length, reiterating his views on Porto
Rlcan citizenship, and Mrs. Roosevelt
was showercd with flowers and given
many presents.
Between towns along the military
road scattering crowds eagerly await
ed the chance OF fieeting glimpse Of
the president. People from the outly-
ing plantations. some on foot from the
mountain districts miles away; poems
women. children. beggars and cripples
all came TO pay tribute. Many OF
the occupants OF shacks, who were too
poor to own even a flag showed their
patriotism by loudly cheering the
president. whom they seemed 10 recog

Hardly had the tremendous rending
roar OF the explosive died away when
a wilder louder noise arose. as these
thousands. shrieking in terror, fought
10 escape. Women and children were
trampled under foot; men strove TO
protect their families. Not one was
seriously hurt, either by the bomb or
in the crush. No part OF the church
was damaged IN the slightest degree,
except a wooden scanolding slightly
burnt. Considering the power OF the
bomb, this is taken as a miracle.
When the pope was notified. he

bomb. Every church in Rome has
been ordered 10 hold three days

MORE CAPTURES
NEAR IN FRAUD
Federal Authorities Are Hot
on the Trail of Big
Swindlers.

Chicago. Nov. 22.-Eight men ar
rested in Chicago, one captured in
Joliet. and another taken in Milwau-
kee, is the record OF a days work by
postoffice inspectors who unearthed
one OF the greatest "frenzIed finance"
schemes that has been brought TO the
attention OF the federal authorities.
Five concerns with high sounding
names are caught in the net, which has
been spread for weeks. and more ar
rests are expected. The operations OF
the band have extended 10 all parts of
the United States. The members OF
the band are said TO have obtained
moro than $1,00O,O00 by their schemes.
The arrest OF Thomas II. Daniels,
known generally as Thomas ID. Gamer
on. and his subsequent confession to
United States District Attorney But
tcrfield In Milwaukee. paved the way
for the arrest OF the following men:
w. ]. Root, president Central States
Underwriting Guarantee company;
James III. Welch. vice president; Will
lam NJ Hurlburt, secretary; Charles
Endlcott Brown, president Prudential
Securities and Corporations company:
Frank s. Winslow. president American

Francisco and Bankers Credit and
Mercantile company OF Chicago; David
Owings OF National Stock and Guaran-
tee company; George w. Munro, Joliet;
r.. 9. Struckemeyer. lawyer and re-
puted capitalist.
The postoflice inspectors declare the
alleged swindlers were engineered by
these men and their confedcrates,
Cameron heading one group and
Brown the other. The evidence upon
which indictments were based shows
that the underwriting and guarantee
method was used in the frauds.
