Porto Maurizio, April l2.-Gifford
Ninchot. until recently chief forester
nf the United States, has had his day
With Colonel Roosevelt and each was
positive in the statement that they
had nothing to say" Both seemed
Greatly pleased and in high spirits
when seen by the representatives of
The press.
When told last evening of the ey-
change of congratulatory cablegrams
between the syndic of Porto Maurizio
and President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt
expressed himself as appreciating
highly the courtesy of both officials.

of the leaders of the reform move
ment Oh the Pacific coast. was here
today. having come from Monte Carlo
to see the ex.president. Phelan is n
Democrat but for years has been a
close friend Of Colonel Roosevelt.
Pinchctt Evades All Questions.
Pinchott remained here overnight.
He talked freely of ordinary matters
but could not be induced to utter q
word as TO his conversation with the
colonel He evaded all questions re-
lating to it,
After his long and mysterious talk
with Pinchot Colonel Roosevelt re.
ceived a call from couple of Fran
ciscan monks. After luncheon Col.
onel Roosevelt, accompanied by Mr..
Pinchot and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Ethel. went for a long drive. They
proceeded about six miles along the
Villea Caramagnia halting at one
place TO inspect an old chapel, which
is hung with seamens votive offerings.
The colonel had long chat with the
aged priest in charge, who was much
interested in the little gold medal of
ST. Joseph which Colonel Roosevelt
carried during his entire African
journey. The party then walked a
half dozen miles ur hill to a point
where they were rejoined by the car
riage.
Enthusiastic Greeting Of Villagers.
The villages through which they
had passed comparatively unobserved
on their outward trip had identified
the newest citizen of Porto Maurizio
by the time he returned on his way
back to Miss Carews villa and as q
result of the enthusiastic greeting of
the villagers the colonels hat was
moro often in his hand than on his
head. The carriage was finally pelt.
I'd with flowers. AS a matter the tri.
umphal progress of Sunday was re.
peated on somewhat limited scale
When the party returned to the
villa II was folnd that the police had
arrested young man in the garden
attached TO the villa. He had been
admitted 10 the grounds by the gard
ner whom he had told that he was
police agent. This seemed quite
natural as there are nearly always a
number of such officials around. After
the young mans arrival a real police
agent came along, and hearing the
gardner's story, took the man into
custody. He was searched before be.
ing locked up and on him was found
a passport bearing the name of Mag.
nano. II had been issued at Bologne
The prisoner had no weapons He
spoke English, however. and said that
he was seeking employment with
Colonel Roosevelt. The police be-
lieve he is a harmless crank.
