LADIES' STOCKINGS
WON'T GO HIGHER

CHICAGO, April 6-Following confer
ence here of representatives of the Ma
tional Association of Hosiery and Under
wear Manufacturers of America, which
includes five hundred companies, a state
ment has been issued saying that talk
of higher prices for imported hosiery Is
not based en- facts. The increasing tariff
tax has been slight and the women of the
United States will not have to pay one
cent more for their stockings than they
do now. Imported hosiery that costs Is
cents per pair now will continue to sell
at Is cents.''
1t is estimated that by o'clock p. m. to-
morrow, when the lists close, $4,000 names
will be on the anti-tariff petitions being
signed here At that hour the petitions
will be gathered together and intrusted
to the FIVE women who are to go to Wash
ington as a committee to present the
petitions to the Illinois representatives in
congress This feminine committee will
reach Washington Thursday morning. Ar
engagements are to be made for them, inn
mediately upon their arrival, to meet the
Illinois representatives. They will ex-
plain verbally the sentiment of Chicago
generally regarding the hosiery and glove
provisions of the bill

BOLTERS RETURN
TO PATTY BALLOT
BY Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, April As If in keep
ing with the pious spirit of the week, the
six Georgians who recently bolted their
party made atonement for their
political sins by rejoining Champ
Clark's flock of Democratic reg
ulars in the house Monday af-
ternoon and voting against the Republl-
can rule insuring the passage of the
Payne tariff bill.
Indeed, Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, who
led the recent bolt, reJoined the regulars.
as did also all the other boilers except
the Louisiana members. Broussard and
Estopinal voted squarely with the house
machine. Wickliffe and Pujo, also of
louisiana voted with the Republicans.
Unlike the Democratic boilers, all the
Republican insurgents did not return to
the camp of the regulars. Twenty Re-
publicans, led by Cooper, of Wisconsin,
and Murdoch. of Kansas, voted squarely
against the rule and the program of the
machine. thereby establishing their sin
certify of purpose and indicating very
clearly that Speaker Cannon's troubles
are not over. Several insurgents Of yes
terday had heretofore voted with the Can
non machine. Austin, the new Republi-
can from Tennessee, was one of these.
Although the final vote, 1886 to $780, indi-
cafes lIldl the IudNillitC has SAANCSh NDAOS
the best of It. a change of eight votes
would have defeated the rule. The fate
of the rule was in doubt until a few min
utes before 1t was reported by Mr.. Dali
zell.
The Republican machine had been I'M
able to secure promise of assistance from
the Democrats upon whom they had de-
pended. and many Republicans refused to
vote for the rule unless additional con-
cessions were made.
Free cotton ties and jute bagging, with
a duty on long staple cotton might have
made slight inroads on the Democratic
strength, but any gain in this direction
would have been offset by additional de-
Elections among the Republican regulars.
As a final resort the house leaders
agreed to let the house vote on the coun-
tervalling duty on oil, and this concession
secured votesS enough to pass the rule.

ROOSEVELT SAYS HE FOUGHT
OIL KINGS AND STEEL EMPERORS,
WHO TRIED TO BREAK HIS BACK

his pride in the American navy and
army.
BY Preparing for War
"By preparing for war;" the former
president is quoted as having said, II
was able to calm the impetuosity of
young America against Japan"
Mr. Roosevelt is quoted further as hav-
ing said that the president Of United
States was more powerful than any con-
stitutional monarch Of Europe. He
pointed out, the Fhench correspondents
aver that he possessed the power of
Veto that he appointed the entire diplo-
matte corps and the high governmental
functionarAes, and that he was a maker
of treaties with only the consent of those
he characterized as the national regula-
tors" He said that for two years while
president be spent his time in fighting
the trusts and that he reJoiced he had
left behind an America where the only
king will be the state.
'Impetus I Gave &
''The machinery. of state will now roll
on without me-" Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted
as saying, but with the impetus 1 have
given, Mr.. Taft, my good successor, win
build the Panama canal, continue to in
crease the army and navy and check the
trusts if they again become obstreper-
ous.' f -s b.
Mr.. Roosevelt paid a high tribute to
journalism. He said he would have ac-
complished nothing when he entered pol
itics, without the press. AS journalist
himself he had fought the Utopias of Toll
stoi and the excuses of the revolution
airy propaganda. Newspapers and
books are instruments of action for me-"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared. Journalism
should not be content to sell what the
public wants to buy, it should raise and
not lower the public taste"
One of the French correspondents con-
cludes his story of Mr.. RooseveIt's visit
to Naples with these words:
Hungers for Hunt
Mr.. Roosevelt is impatient to reach
the hunting grounds. He says no words
of Naples or of the art treasures to be
sene there. He understands nothing of
these gateways to an ancient civilization,
of these eternal consultations in the sky
of history
Emperor William displayed nobler
breeding when he asked to be left alone
before a marble bust that affirmed the
eternity of beauty. Mr.. Roosevelt has
no time to lose as he is off to the hunt
with much noise. If the Wild beasts of
the deserts are not warned, 1t is be-
cause they do not receive the newspa-
pers."

ROOSEVELT SET SAILS
FROM NAPLES HARBOR
NAPLES, April 6-After spending yes
terday afternoon and evening ashore in
Naples, where he was given an enthusi-
astic welcome by the people of the city.
Theodore Roosevelt began the second
stage of his journey to the East African
protectorate and Uganda shortly after
midnight last night on board the steam
er Admiral. He is due at Mombasa April
q.
Before going on board the Admiral last
night, Mr.. Roosevelt thanked the head Of
the NeapoIitan police, Chevalier Calabre-
81, for the excellent protection afforded
him during his stay on shore. Mr.. Roose-
NCAA was aSOOAnPdAAACA NNCAJ WhCAC " Ing
chief.
The Thanks of Italy
During an audience yesterday with the
mayor of Naples, this official conveyed to
Mr.. Roosevelt a special vote Of the mu-
nicipal 6ouncil thanking the former pres
ident and the American people for the
succor sent from the United States to
the earthquake sufferers.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed his apprecia-
ton Of this communication. He said
there should be no question Of gratitude
The earthquake gave the American peo-
pie an opportunity TO show their sympa-
thy in this unparalleled disaster which
had made Italy at once the creditor OF the
whole world.
Mr.. Roosevelt boarded the Admiral at
10 O'Clock last night He spent some time
in the smoking room conversing with his
fellow passengers. The departure of the
Admiral was delayed by waiting for the
arrival of the German mails for South
Africa. The train arrived at midnight,
the mails were hurried on board and the
steamer left port at once.

PARIS, April 6.-The French press is
displaying great interest and curiosity In
Theodore Roosevelt. when the Caesar o.
modern industry goes hunting, Europe,
Asia, Africa and America climb to their
windows and watch the caravan OF public
ity pass is the way one of the papers de-
scribes Mr.. Roosevelts journey to East
Africa.
majority of the French correspond
ents sent to Naples to chronicle their
impressions of Mr.. Roosevelt say the
former president of the United States is
absorbed in himself. They describe his
cabin as filled with his books and Uttered
with photographs of himself and the
members of his family. They say the
only object not relating to Roosevelt him
self in his cabin was a photograph OF
Emperor William, bearing the Imperial
signature in green ink.
''My Back is Still Intact"
Mr.. Roosevelt talked freely, but princi-
pally about himself and his work, the corr
respondents say and he manifested a
disposition to preach" In his CONVERSE
lions he touched upon his knickerbocker
ancestry and his experiences as a ranch
man in the far west. Turning to politics,
he said he had been elected to the presi-
dency as a representative of honesty
against the power Of gold. Il have al
ways maintained that probity in private
life is indispensable to public life" Mr..
Roosevelt is qoted as saying. II have
fought the oil kings and the steel en-
perors; they tried to break my back, but
my back is still intact.
1.-The truth is, they showed less resist
ance than ! expected The feudal barons
of modern finance have less energy than
the feudal lords Of ancient Europe"
Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt referred to
