ITALIAN IS NOT
 YET IDENTIFIED

Mexico City, July 1.-If the Italian giv- ing his name as A1varo, who was ar rested here on the night of June 25 Is the murderer of Detective Joseph Pe- trosino of New York, who was killed at Palermo. Sicily evidence that he is the right man is wanting here.
 An Italian giving his name as Carmele Alvaro was arrested in a park inSthis capital as a suspicious character. After his arrest he talked but little. He said later that his name was Peolo Domecio. The Italian minister here Ranuzzi Segi, requested the police authorities to hold the man until he could communicate with authorities in Italy. The minister stated to a representative of the Associated Press tonight that there was nothing as yet to show that the man had anything to do with the murder of Lieutenant Petrosino of New York. The minister later stated that evidence up to now shows the man left Italy ten years ago. He believed the man to be an escaped con- yict from an Italian prison.

MeSsi1la Again Shaken
 By Earthquake Shocks
Quake Is Reported As Stronger Than and While Only Two Persons Are Killed the Destruction Would Have Been Great If City Had Been
 Built of Brick and Stone

Messina. July 1.---Messina experienced two terrific eArtholalSes st about 7:30 o'clock this morning, which were ac- companied by roaring sounds and are said to have had stronger and more undulatory movement than the earth quake of last December. which de- stroyed Messina Reggie and other cities, laid waste many villages In Calabria and killed 200,0 900 people
 Although the shocks today had no such terrible consequences, the 25,0O0 residents of this city were thrown into a state of terror. They ran into the streets panic-stricken, and tonight nearly the entire population is en- camped in the open.
 The broken walls of the old ruins were thrown to the ground and Messina was for a few minutes smothered in cloud of dust.
 The casua1ties were few and the only persons killed so far as known were a young woman and her infant The woman had come here only few days ago and had settled in rooms which the great earthquake had left relatively undamaged. She was standing at the door when the shock occurred and rushed inside to save her child Be- fore she could escape from the room the second shock threw down the walls, burying both mother and child under the debris. Soldiers and engineers who rushed to the rescue heard the voice of

the mother calling for help and they worked heroically for several hours. when they found the dead bodies the mother with her child in her arms.
 The first shock was followed quickly by second and the people fled pell nell to the American quarter, which they seemed to feel was their safest place of refuge. So great was the rush to the American huts that the au- thorities were unable to check the in- yasion and as consequence these structures, which were designed for tn @ most needy of the populace, were taken possession of by the newcomers. The around this quarter and a guard was mounted at the bridge leading to it. Many of the panic stricken people were driven off and orders were issued that no one be permitted to occupy the American quarter pending further in structions.
 Reggie suffered almost as severe shock Messina. Walls were over thrown, but no casualties have been reported at that place. According to the last reports the earthquake affected practically the same section as that of December, but the injuries to persons were relatively insignificant because almost nobody as yet inhabited the houses.
 The seismic disturbance was felt at Taormina, but no damage was done there.
 Within "A hours the shocks at Mes sina numbered 2S.

KING AND QUEEN
 ARE MUCH GRIEYED

Rome, July liking Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena were deeply grieyed to learn of the second earthquake at Messna and they inquired anxiously for details. Her majesty was gratifed to learn that the village of Regina Elena, built on the outskirts of Messina under her auspices. had escaped uninjured. The houses in this village are all of wood and some of them were contributed from America.
 Father J. P. Hagan of Chicago, direc- tor Of tie vatican observatory. was the first person to inform the Pope of a strong earth shock. His information was confirmed shortly afterward by telegrams from the archbishop of Messina and the bishop of Miletano.
 The under secretary of the interior an swering the Interrogation in the chamber of deputies today, read a telegram iron, Messina declaring that the earthquake there was not so grave as had at first appeared.

MARINES AGAIN
 ON THEIR SHIPS

Washington, July That portion of the marine corps of the navy withdrawn from duty aboard ships by order of form CT President Roosevelt. issued November 12, last. is today back on the battleships, cruisers and other vessels in accordance with the action of Congress.
 The order restoring the marines to ship duty was issued just before President Roosevelt retired after Congress had placed provision In the navy appropria- tion bill stating that no money voted for the marine corps should be available un- less the marines served on ships, as orig nally.
 The order restoring the marines. how ever, restricted their duty and President Taft last May directed that the marines be placed back on ships and given the same duties that they formerly performed.

Fort Worth, July 1.-Walter King, cashier of the Main street branch of the Waggoner Bank and Trust company, was indicted today on charge of embezzle- ment. arrested late this evening, ar raigned, pleaded not guilty and was re- leased under 5000 bond.
 On the afternoon of Tuesday June 22, King alleged. that he had been held up in the banking house by a highwayman and at the point of a pistol compelled to hand over $s195 in currency.
 King told a circumstantial story of the alleged robbery and the affair created a sensation in the city and all through this section of Texas, savoring of former days.

According to the statement of King he was alone in the bank building balancing the transactions of the day preparatory to reporting to the central office of the banking concern when a well dressed stranger approached the window of the cashiers compartment covered him with a revolver and gathering up all the cur rency in sight, backed out of the build ing under cover of his weapo

wing scraped the ground and raised a cloud Of dust, but Mir. Wright continued to fly half way around the field before descending at the point he had previous ly decided upon for landing place.
 Orvflle hastened to the shed and Wilbur acted as spokesman He said the flights were very satisfactory to them, although they would make number of additional preliminary flights before essaying the official tests.
 How are you satisfied with today's showing?" MT. Wright was asked by a bystander.
 If we could not do any better, would say that I was well satisned,'' was his confident reply.
 We did not make any changes in the motor for today's trial he continued We only advanced the spark somewhat. We are not using the full power that our motor is capable of developing
 Estimate of Speed.
 MT. Wright would not estimate the speed at which the aeroplane travelled and the length of the flights could not be accurately determined.
 Major Squier expressed the opinion that the rounds on the first flight were ap- proximately half a mile in length As the machine made these rounds In 50 sec onds each. it probably was traveling at speed of from S6 to 38 miles an hour.
 Senator Stephen B. Elzins, who has been at Fort Myer every day since the first announcement that the Wrights would attempt to fly, was a very inter ested spectator today. He asked numer- ous questions of Major SQuier of the signal corps, desiring especially to know if the Wright machine was based on mathematical calculations snd expressed desire to know what the formulae for the building of flying machine of the Wright type are. Senator Elkins ex- pressed the opinion that the aeroplane would be of great use in warfare as scouts and for carrying messages over the army of the enemy.
 Young Charley Taft, who has been al- most daily visitor, violated nearly all of the rules set down by the Wirghts for the restriction of photographers. He was greatly excited over the aeroplane's per- formances and kept close tab on the time of each flight His enthusiasm was shared by the officers of the signal corps who have based many hopes on the ex- pected success of the Wrights in fulfilling the conditions of the government rs- Quirements.

JOLLY EVENING
BY THE SEA

The Diamond Head Athletic Club
held en- enjoyable smoking concert at
the Healani bathouse last night. While
the affair was not as elaborate as its
annual predecessors everyone who at
tended the function had good time.
long and excellent program was
run through which included vocal and
instrumental selections, boxing stunts
and other features.
Mike Patton proved himself to be a
splendid entertainer and to his I'M
firing efforts a large measure of the
success of the evening was due.
Others who helped matters along
nobly were Leslie Petrie, Sam Chill
lingworth and w. e. Kerr, the latter
singing some comic songs with quite
a professional touch
1t was at late hour when the pleas
ant little party by the sea broke up,
all present having a good word to say
about the jolly evening spent and no
one begrudging the half dollar which
the fun had cost

BOXERS Do
THEIR STUNTS

Dick Sullivan started serious work
for his coming bout with George Peter
son yesterday afternoon doing some
boxing at Fort Shafter. The Healani
boathouse is no longer available for
training purposes so Sullivan has Sc
lected the post as the next best place.
There he will have all the material
to work with that he could possibly
desire, the only handicap being the lack
of sea-bathing facilities.
Sullivan is in rare shape and READY
20 go INTO the ring tonight were thai
necessary.
George Peterson worked at the Or
pheum yesterday afternoon His first
partner was Nelson who is matched
with Hercules the cook Nelson is a
beginner at the game and can hardly
untrack himself but he is undeniably
willing and that's a whole lot. The
go between him and Hercules should
be quite as funny as that put up by
Miller and Silva, and that alone was
worth the price of admission last Sat-
urday night.
Peterson next took on Young Scott
who is matched to box Mccullough on
the night of the Sullivan-Peterson az
fray. Scott showed up well with his
heavier opponent and should render a
good account of himself on the night
of his engagement
AS to Peterson, he is a 'shifty, ag-
gressive boxer who appears as though
he could hit as hard as any man OF
his weight could be expected to. He
doesn't say much but goes about his
work in a business-like way which inn
presses those who see him work.

THE LATEST
BASEBALL DOPE

There will be another game of base
ball this afternoon at the league ground
between the Reach boys and the All
Hawaiis. Popular prices will prevail
and it is hoped that there will be quite
a crowd out.
The batteries viii be Flaherty and
Bliss, and Castle and Soares.
For the games to be played after to-
day Mike Fisher mas offered the locals
a whole battery or a catcher. The re-
suit of today's game will determine
whether Fishers offer will be accepted
or not The probabilities are that it
will.
Eddie Fernandez won't be able to get
away today and the locals will have
to worry along as best they can with
George Bruins at first
An Saturday there will be some base
ball sports before the game proper COM
mences.
The Reach players are having a fine
time seeing the town. 1t was thought
better not to embarrass them with any
set program of entertainment but to
let them enjoy themselves as they wish
ed. So far they have been kindly re-
ceived in every store they have entered
and there is on instance on record of
any hackman or chauffeur having
charged any of the visitors other than
the proper fare, so they are not having
such bad time after ALL
There is some talk of dance being
arranged in their honor by one of the
Oriental athletic associations but the
matter as yet is in an embryo stage.
Another suggestion which has been
made is to give the boys a benefit be-
fore they go away. The idea is
good one and will probably be acted up
on.
