fetal Twinse.

NAPLES, April 5.-Roosevelt
arrived at Naples shortly
before 2 o'clock this afternoon and was
accorded welcome by the thousands
that crowded the piers that bore out
everything ever said regarding the
volatile character of the inhabitants.
Roosevelt landed at the arsenal, the
Hamburg later anchoring at Maritime
station. The arrival was delayed six
hours owing to the slow passage of the
Hamburg through the stormswept
Mediterranean yesterday and early to-
day. The Roosevelt party were imme
dlately whisked away in automobiles,
rendered by the Duke Of Aosta. The
ing machines were made through
heavy police lines which seemed an
almost useless precaution, as only a
few persons were at the arsenal Only
those who had passes countersigned
by the arsenal commandant were per-
mitted within the arsenal grounds.
Outside, however, a dense throng
numbering possibly ten thousand,
gathered and cheered Roosevelt re-
peatedly.
The Premature report that the Ham
burg had been sighted early IL the day
caused Ambassador Grison and party
to go hurrying down the bay in a
launch to meet the ship. With the am
bassador were American Council Cas-
par s. Crownshield, vice-council Men
lninger, and several secretaries from
the embassy of Rome. They found the
| Hamburg not yet in sight and return.
1 ed aboard the United States gunboat
Scorpion.
! The fact that the Hamburg was late
in arriving seemed to make no differ
ence in the enthusiasm of the crowds
which thronged the piers. Thousands
came into the city from all surround
ing towns. Many Americans in the
winter colony at Capri came over to
welcome Roosevelt. All wore small
American flags. Despits the fact that
Roosevelt is travelling unofficially the
reception had an official twinge by
reason of the presence of Ambassador
Griscom. officials representing the
city and the Italian government.
Shortly after landing Roosevelt was
taken to the home of the Duke and
Duchess Aosta where dinner will be
rendered this evening. The transfer
of Rooseyelt's baggage is now being
rushed. Intense disappointment is
manifest everywhere over the failure
of the city to have the opportunity OF
doing homage to Roosevelt.

originated In barn at Jennings ave-
nue. and Petersmith streets, in the
southern portion of this city, Saturday
afternoon, swept an area Of ten blocks

stroyed property roughly estimated in
excess of s3,00O,000 and caused the
death of six persons.
The fire was beyond control within
fifteen minutes after its outbreak and
was not checked until dynamite was
resorted to four hours later.
The local fire department being IN
able to cope with the situation, assist
ance was rushed from Dallas and
Meatherford on special trains, but
even with these reinforcements the
spread of the flames was not checked
until they had eaten their way to the
Texas and Pacific railroad reservation
on the east. On the south the fire was
checked at the Texas and Pacific pas
senger depot, this steel and stone
structure forming the bulwark that
saved the whole district, which at one
time was in danger of destruction.
The Texas & Pacific round house and
twenty engines, the repair shops, four
churches, two public school buildings
and Walkers sanitarium were the
public buildings destroyed. Tho 9th
ers were residences, most of them new
and pretentious in the most exclusive
residence sections of the city. So
rapidly did the flames spread that the
people living within a radius of three
blocks of the place of the origin had
no time to save anything except the
clothing they wore.
A patient whose identity has not
been learned persisted in Walkers
sanitarium, and three men were cleo.
trocuted and their bodies burned to
cinders in the Sawyer electric plant.
Herbert Stacy was fatally burned in
an endeavor to save his dwelling and
fireman fell from house top and
was killed. Rev. H. o. Cowan, assist
ant pastor of the Broadway Presbyter-
ian church, Is missing.
The burned district is being pa.
rolled by troops to precent lootin5 and

The fire buried over twenty blocks
in the residence section. destroying
four churches. over 200 residences and
the round house and machine shops
OF the Texas Pacific railroad.
