ROOSEVELT OPENS NEW l BOULEVARD AT PORTO MAURIZIO
ExPresident's Carriage PeIted With Nosegays Tied With Ribbons.

Porto Maurizio, April 1O.-Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt this afternoon opened sthe new boulevard, which has been named after him, and accepted hon. orary, citizenship of the ancient and historic city of Porto Maurizio, amid a repetition of the same popular enthu- sdasm which marked his arrival last night. According to those who have long memories, never before have io- cal, political, religious and all other differences been so completely oblit- riage containing Mr. and Mrs Roose- welt and the mayor was pelted with nosegays tied with ribbons, bearing the words Long live Roosevelt" as they traversed the cheering town un- til it was overf1owing with flowers. When they reached the foot of the ter raced hill opposite the port, where the cheering rent the air, the ex-president and his wife were smiling and look ing happy.
 A stone bearing the name of the street, tFVialle Theodore Roosevelt 9 then unveiled, and MT. Roosevelt stretched across the driveway, and amid 8 new outburst of ''vivas'' led Mrs Roosevelt up the drive to the hotel There the mayor in f1aittering speech told how proud the munieipality was to confer citizenship upon the great apostle of peace The city clerk, who wore a bedizened uniform and feath- CTS in his cap, stepped forward and presented the parchment Tn a silver case upon a cushion covered with the American flag.
 MT. Roosevelt replied in English. but the mayor experienced difficulty in translating the words, and Miss Ca rew, Mrs. Roosevelts sister, amid much amusement, finally came to the rescue. The demonstration, MT. Roosevelt said. made him feel as if he were home in his own country

Saint chamond. France, April lO.- The opening of the electoral campaign here today by Premier Brinnd was marked by violent counter dcmonHtra- uons by anarchists and revolution groups, who interrupted the premier's speech 10 his constituents by smnHh- ing windows and shooting off revolv- CTS.
 Premier Briand's addreas was infus- ed with tho spirit Of moderation and peace. urging the attainment of social reforms by pacific and gradual meth ods.
 '"rhe republic" he said, "owes to ail equal justice and liberty. She cannot make herself a persecutor without fail ing in essential principles"
 At this point the premicr'H words were drowned by the crash of a show CT of bricks hurled through the win- dows and the cracking of revolvers. The speaker kept on, however.
 As the premier left the city the man ifestants crowded around him and there was a sharp tussle between them and his supporters many blows being eXchanged and some shots fired i'm the air A number or persons were arrest ed
 The opposition candidate the social fist. M. Lorris, who was thought tO have been responsible for the demon residents of saint Chnmond strongly deprecate the occurrence na a refec- ton on the city.

THE NEW TENDERLOiN
 WAS EXTREMELY DRY"
While the Old Tenderioin Was More
 so Than Since Roosevelt Days.

New York, April 10.-Not since the days when Theodore Roosevelt was commissioner of police has New York been so dry" on Sunday today. Drinks were to be had, of course, but the "dryness" wHS eveident neVerthe- less nearly all over the city The po- lice are obeying to the letter Mayor Gaynor's order of 'shands off, no ex- else arrests" but with slips prepared by the district attorneys office they started today to look for evidence of liquor law violations, with officers of the state excise department. This, to- gether with the general uncertainty of things, made the saloon men cautious. The old First ward, on the lower West Side, and the Bowery were apparently the only districts unafrected--just why is not clear.
 In the new Tenderloin. which em- braces the district north, of Longacre square to Columbus circle, at 59th streeet, it was extrenly dry" and the old Tenderloin, while not so much af- fected, was nevertheless 'dryer" than it had ever been since the days of Roosevelt Many of the saloons were closed throughout the day. while those which had back rooms open for busi- ness admitted no strangers.
 As was the case last Sunday. the po- lice made no excise arrests. but con- fined their efforts to getting evidence to be placed in affidavit form.

SUNDAY PARADE. OF
 10000 SOCIALISTS IN BERLIN
Speeches in Many Parls-Enthusiastie

Berlin, April 1o.-At least 10000 so- ciaiists and radicals took part today in the most impressive demonstration ever held in Berlin in favor of suf- o'clock in the morning the streets re- sounded from the march of squads of earnest looking men from every pre- cinct in the city towards the Hum boldt-Hain, the Freidrichs-Hain and Treptow park, where Police Commis- sioner Won Jagow had sanctioned open air meetings.
 Owing to the recent outspoken crit icism of the police methods in the re- pressfon of popular expression of the will, the police commissioner had with drawn his former prohibition, on as- surance from the socialist leaders that no disturbances would occur and that traffic would not be disturbed. Men and women gathered at the district headquarters of the socialists at an early hour and from there marched off in groups of>I00, under control of stewards wearing red arm bands, to- ward the allotted meeting places.
 There was no shouting singing IS the crowds passed through the streets from which the police seemed to have disappeared as if by magic. Squads arrived at the parks about one o'clock with military precision. There they gathered around 16 improvised and numbered platforms, from which, at the sound of a bugle. socialist and
  landtag began addresses in which they denounced the injustices of the pres ent system of elections. For an hour and half the orators continued amid deafening cheers and at 2.30 another bugle sounded, and for one minute ut ter silence prevailed
 Then a resolution declaring that 1t was the determination of those gath cred together to fight for reform until victory had been won for the people, was passed by exclamation Enthus- fastfc scenes enSued and there was great cheering for the rights of the democracy, while 100000 voices broke into the stirring strains of the work mems Marseil1aise and the song of freedom, but they desisted on orders from the leaders
 The meetings then disbanded, the original groups marching off as they had come, without the slightest disor- der.

PULLMAN BERTH RATES
 ORDERED REDUCED
"Unjust and Unreasonable" to Charge Same for Upper and Lower Berths- Interstate Commerce Commission De- ciSinn

Washington April 10.-The inter state commerce commission in a de- cision today holds it to be unjust and unreasonabIe'' for the Pullman com pany to charge equally for the upper and lower berths in it's sleeping cars. Differential charges are ordered in several instances and Pullman rates from Chicago to the Pacific are ordered reduced.
 The commission ruled that the pres ent Pullman rates of SIP from St. Paul to the Pacific coast was too high and ordered it reduced to $10. The present rate of SIP for an upper berth is or dered reduced to $8.50.

 Dead Man Was Editor of Bohemian
 Christian Journal.
 After the madman's disappearance, the mission reaSSemb1ed about their fallen leaders and passionately mourn ed their loss.
 Skala's body was removed to an un- dertaker'S rooms and Gay was taken to St. Joseph's hospital His wound is dangerous, but it is believed at the hospital that he will recover.
 Skala was very prominent locally as a mission worker and associate edi- tor of the Bohemian Christian Jour nal, which he and Rev. James Losa published at Coraopolis- He was a Presbyterian but filled, the pulpit at the Congregational mission house as a substitute today.
 Mir. SkaIa a Successfux1Leader
 The Rev. MT. Losa was summoned to the undertaking rooms soon after the tragedy and with much emotion he delivered a funeral sermon over the body while a hundred followers wept aloud. Dr. William A. McEwan hea d of Pres sbyterian missions here, said that MT. Skala was one of the most successful leaders in the field. He came here from Moravia, Austria, sew en years ago, and after thorough education at Park college in Missouri, he settled at Coraopolis to work among the foreigners. He was 25 years old. He married one of his converts and besides her he leaves 8 child.
 Gay is a colporteur for the Bible institute of Allegheny county and is well known for his extensive work among foreigners.

 None of the church workers believe that there was any method of Rado- Witch's madness. He had lived at the Salvation Army barracks, but has al- ways been at variance with the teach ings of his Christian leaders. It is doubtful if he had ever seen Skala before today. He is said to have been detained once at a hospital for exam ination into his mental condition, but was released after a brief time @
