With practically a full attendance,

cited as an advantage under which

Mr.. Payne asserted that scores OF
petitions have been received by the

of protection and revenue.

ing the large department stores OF

by the Payne tariff bill on women's
gloves and hosiery, Representative

day in statement which will be

asserted that the importers who op-
posed the duti1e were interested in

ments in an dfort@to justify the in
creased rates from the Republican
standpoint of protection, contending
that the difference in cost~and labor
in the United states and abroad was
not covered by the duties levied by
the Dingley law.
Claiming that the new tariff in
creases the duty from 1 2-3 cents per
pair to 2 2 cents per pair, Mr.. Payne
declared that fhere was no truth in

ed duties will result in the formation

Messina, April 6-Theo. Roosevelt
and King Victor Emmanuel met to-
day on the italian battleship Re Um-
berto in Messina harbor. The meet,
ing was characterized by the utmost
cordiality and the king took the oc-
casi0n to express the gratitude of the
Italian people for the generous as.
sistance of the Americans to the
earthquake sufferers. 4
At the close of the interview Mr.,
Roosevelt went ashore and inspected
the ruins of the city, the desolation
Of which moved him strongly. He then
boarded the steamer Admiral, which
just at sun set hoisted her anchors
and proceeded on her way to Nom.
bassa.
The Admiral arrived at Messina at
about 2 o'clock in he afternoon and
was saluted by the Re Umberto with
the king on board, which reached here
in the morning. Almost Immediately
Captain Pfeister, former Italian milf
tary attache at Washington and aide
to Admiral Mirabello, was taken Ia

yelt. He said the king sent his>tomp-
liments and would have great pleasure
in receiving Mr.. Roosevelt. At this
the former presidents #face lighted
up with a pleasant smile. lib
Accompanied by his son, ... Kermit,
and Ambassador Griscom, he pro

Above ALL he wanted personally to
thank the ex-president for the help
extended by America at the time aof
the earthquake.
."You are now able," he added, ITO
understand better what e terrible
disaster 1t was.''
Mr.. Roosevelt replied, thanking the
sovereign for the compliment: paid
him, in inviting hm' to come aboard
the Re- Umberto. He sad that the
American people did not wish thanks
for what they had done as they had
merely tried to do their dutv, and
knew no better way to confront the
immense need than by their work and
contributions.
10" The conversation then turned to the
hunting trip to Africa, the king saying
that his tastes also ran in that t1i-

ton Of Count of Turin in Africa, and
similarly with the Duke Of Aosta, ex-
pressed the hope that Mr. Roosevelt

women kissed their hands to him,
