New York, Dec. 1.-The govern ment authorities finally admitted to- day that Ernest Gerbacht, former su- perintendent of the Havemeyer S Elder Plant of the American Sugar Refining Company, in Brooklyn. had been secretly arrested on an indict- ment charging him with defrauding the government and that he is now out on s1O,000 bail.

 Nairobi. British East Africa, Dec. 1S.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt heading a rather imposing array of hunters. naturalists, and runners, left today for the Uganda country where an extensive hunt will be engaged in. Kermit Roosevelt was in the party.
 While young Roosevelt came to Africa. officially as the photographer of the expedition, he has had such good luck in hunting that he has now practically abandoned the camera for the gun. In the matter of rare spec imens of antelope, Kermit has had more success than his father.
 A large crowd gathered at the sta- ton to bid the party adieu.

MORE HONORS BESTOWED
UPON WRIGHT BROTHERS

New York. May 1.-THE Wright
brothers, Wilbur and Orville, left New
York shortly before o'clock tonight
for their home in Dayton, o. after a
day spent in receiving the tributes and
compliments of friends and admirers.
However much at home the brother
may be amid the perils of the upper

were extremely shy guests of honor. At
the luncheon rendered by the Aero

both had consented, with considerable
reluctance, to allow their names to go
down on the programme of speakers.

speech was just half as long as his

Wilbur turned them over to Orville. To-

TAFT'S MESSAGE

Porto Ricans Do Not Like Tenor
Of Presidents Words
UNION LEADER IS BITTER
Message Considered An Insult by One
Faction in Porto Rico and Dis
content Has Arisen Among
the People.
UNION LEADER is BITTER

San Juan, p r.. May 12.-Only excerpts
from President Tafts message on Porto
Rico have been received here. These have
caused excited comment, mostly OF an un-
favorable nature President Tafts atti-
tude has caused general disappointment
among politicians of all parties. Gov
Regis II. Post, speaking today with ref
erenee to the message, said that it would
undoubtedly be disappointing to political
circles, but he anticipated no trouble in
the island There is no unrest here
Mr. J. c. Barbosa, leader of the re-
publican party. who IS serving his third
term in the executive council, said:
THE Presidents message has not sur
prised me. l expected it. 1t is unjust in
treating all Porto Ricans alike. Neces-
sarily we shall all have to suffer the con-
sequences for the errors committed by
half a dozen politicians who obtained their
influence and prestige through open sup
port of the Americans controlling the in
sular government. The republicans, labor
party, Independents and business men,
who have not any direct representation in
the house of delegates, and who consti-
tute the majority of the island, have
been represented by handful of men,
who are anti-American and who do not
think or act as we do.
Louis Munos Rivera, leader of the
unionist party, and one of the delegation
which went to Washington to discuss
Porto Rican legislation was bitter in his
denunciation of President Taft's mes
sage.
THE message" he said, which Presi-
dent Taft has sent to Congress has caused
a feeling of the most profound dscon-
tent The speaker of the house of dele
gates has sent a cablegram direct to
Congress in behalf Of the house, and the
unionist party reserves to itself the adop-
ton of resolutions depending upon devel-
opments. We will remain still and await
the legislation Congress chooses to pass.
'I foresee greater conflicts fer ths fu.
| ture," continued Senior Rivera, ''termin-
ating In a complete rupture between the
! government and public opinion. The
unionists cannot be held responsible for 1t.
They tried to prevent a clash but could
not The message of the President is an
insult heaped upon weak people that
/ cannot reply"
Santiago Iglesias, organized of the
American Federation of Labor in Porto
Rico said:
1.-THE message is a strong reproof gen.
orally, but 1t does not discriminate be-
tween the various classes. While the
unionists are solely responsible for the
present condition of affairs, President
Taft accuses the republicans, federation
lists socialists and neutrals, composing
the large majority. who have not the
slightest responsibility for the quarrel be-
tween the unionists and the executive
council. The organized laborers are dis
satisfied with the message because they
see retrogression. They believe that the
United States Congress should not punish
those who have had no hand in the
crisis"

TWENTY MEN ARE KILLED
BY DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

: Albany, N. Y, May 12.-At least &c
men were killed today by a premature
discharge of dynamite in stone quarry
operated by the Callahan Road Improve
ment company near South Bethlehem, IL
miles southwest of Albany. Among the
dead are John Hoyt Callahan, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the COM
pany, Charles d. Callahan, a brother of
the manager, and Leroy Mcmillan, as
sistant superintendent.
One thousand pounds of dynamite ex-
ploded and the bodies of the victims were
hurled hundreds of feet and so badly
mutilated as to be almost beyond recog-
milton. AS darkness was falling a wagon
drew up to the engine house loaded with
bodies that had been picked up back of
