MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
President VIII Report ON Divorce
Evils. linn x ration and Currency.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19--President
congress the coming session for his in
heritance tax idea. The shortness of
the session, which will last but three
months. will tend to prevent the pass
ing of any bill dealing with this sub
ject, but there will at least be great
heritances, which will tend to educate
and enlighten congress and the public
on this question, and the president and
his supporters hope to see the idea put
into statutes not later than the first
| session Of the Slxtieth congress.
The expectation has been ever since
the president brought forward this sub
ject in his speech last spring at the
laying of the cornerstone of the house
office building that he would advocate
an inheritance tax in his next annual
message. The message was practically
completed and in print before the pres
ident left for Panama, subject to such
revisions as may be found necessary at
the last moment AS drafted 1t CON
tains strong recommendation In IA
vor of a progressive inheritance tax on
fortunes given in life or bequeathed In
death to any individual. Some general
observations are made ON the need of
curbing the growth of great fortunes.
Divorce evils will be discussed also
in the coming message 1t Is already
clear that the marriage and divorce
census which is being taken will show
an appalling growth in the number of
divorces granted. The president has
well known ideas on the subject of the
sanctity of the home and the family.
and he will call the attention OF con-
gress to the question whether an
amendment should not be made to the
federal constitution which win make il
possible to enact a uniform law on the
subject of divorce
Aside fror these important matters
the president win deal with the cur
rency question and will urge Iegisla-
ton for a more elastic currency. He
will treat of immigration and will ad-
wise that undesirable immigrants be |
excluded. He will urge publicity in |
campaign expenditures and a law pro
hiDiting contributions by corporations |
to campaigns. Another important mat |
ter treated will be that Of safety on |
railroads.

NOW FOR PORTO RICO
President Roosevelt and Party
Leave Canal Zone.
"ALL GREAT WORKS ARE CRITICISED
Tour of Inspection Greatly Impress
ed Head of the Nation, Who Is
Well Pleased with Progress
Already Made.

COLON, Nov. 10 President Roose-
welt is now on his way back to the
United States from Panama He is
due 10 arrive at Ponce, Porto Rico, on
wednesday. From there ne viii cross
the island TO San Juan by automobile
for a one day visit to the capital He
viii embark at San Juan for Hampton
Roads on Thursday and expects to
reach Washington on Tuesday, Nov
%, in time to spend Thanksgiving day
at the White House
The president and his party sailed
Saturday night at 10 o'clock for Ponce.
Porto Rico, on board the United States
battleship Louisiana.
After riding on horseback through
the muddy streets of Colon on Satur-
day afternoon the president went to
the residence of Mr.. Biers, general
manager of the Panama railroad. for
dinner. Those present included Chair
man Shonts of the canal commission.
Chief Engineer Stevens and their
wives, Secretary Latta and Surgeon
General Rixey. Secret service men
guard the presidential party at every
stage of their trip. : ~sN~e.
At half past s o'clock President
Roosevelt reached pier No. IL, where
there was an enthusiastic gathering of
at least 500 persons. principally canal
employees at Cristobal and other points
along the line. Here the president as
cended the band stand and made thir-
ty minute speech. In giving his Inn
pressions of the work on the canal he
said he was pleased with what already
had been done and paid his respects to
those who had adversely criticised the
work.
Glow about roultney Bigelowf'
came from among the auditors.
With much deliberation the presi-
dent remarked that in every large
work there was always some one to
find something that was not done as ii
should have been. but the employees
should on no account pay attention to
such criticisms. as the critics would
sink out of sight. while the work the
men were doing and had done would
remain long after all criticism had
been forgotten.
President Roosevelt said also he was
so impressed with the magnitude and
greatness of this work that he would
| like to see one of his sons engaged
therein. He congratulated all the
heads of departments upon the work
being done and with especial warmth
he congratulated Captain George r.
| stanton on his success in maintaining
order in the canal zone and in perfect
ing the splendid police force under his
| control
In conclusion the president said he
would like to remain longer on the
isthmus, but that 1t was necessary fol-
him to get back TO his work in the
| United States.
The Washington and the Tennessee
were delayed In !coaling at Chiriqu
and did not get back here in time tc

less will join that warship on the way

on letting him know their grievances
This they did. for he at once ordered

Rossi SLAIN AT NAPLES.
Anarchist Lagana, Said TO Come From
Paterson, N. j., the Murderer.

Paterson, N. j., the Murderer.
NAPLES, Nov. 10. An anarchist
named Lagana, who returned here re-
Gently from Paterson, N. j., by way
of London, stabbed and killed the ia
nous zoologist Giovanni Rossi of the
University of Naples because Rossi in
recent lecture condemned anarchist
crimes as barbarous.
The murder has produced general in
dignation, as the victim was held in
high esteem. Lagana, who escaped, in
letter to the police boosted that he
was glad he committed the deed and
said he would begin again on other
enemies of anarchy.
The letter was signed Saverio La
CANA, and the police have not yet sue
ceeded in taking him into custody. In
a communication to the chief of police
and to certain colleagues of Professor
Rossi, Lagana declares with uncon-
cealed rage that on the occasion of
the funeral of his victim, which is set
for tomorrow, he will give an even
more disastrous evidence of what he
can do. He writes of committing fur
ther crimes, for he says, Il will not
give myself up to justice before | have
killed another professor and socialist,
for / know the socialists accuse me OF
being spy in the service of the po-
lice1
In view of this warning it has been
decided to allot police escort to each
professor in Naples, and Signor Rossi's
funeral procession will pass between
cordons of troops.
