Porto Maurizio, Italy, April IL
Hello, Clifford! This is fine" was
Roosevelt's exclamation today on
meeting Pinchot. The meeting, which
took place at the home of Mrs.
Roosevelt's sister, is looked upon as
portentious. 1t is believed Roosevelt's s
future political action will be guided
by the Information furnished him by
Pinchot.
Pinchot and Roosevelt clasped
hands like long lost brothers. After
a few minutes conversation. the two
started on a stroll into the mountains
lasting for two hours. On their re-
turn both declined to give out a state
ment to the newspapers. Pinchot will
remain here for several days and ap-
peared in excellent spirits after his
walk with Roosevelt.
EXPresident Roosevelt yesterday
afternoon opened the new boulevard
which has been named after him, and
accepted honorary citizenship of the
ancient and historical city of Porto
Maurizio, amid popular enthusiasm
such as that which marked his arriv-
al. According to those who had long
memories, never before have local, re-
ligious and all other differences been
so completely obliterated as upon this
occasion.
The carriage containing Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt and the mayor was
pelted with nosegays tied with rib
bons bearing the words Long Live
Roosevelt" until il was overflowing
with flowers. When they reached the
foot of the terraced hill opposite the
port, where the cheering rent the air.
the eX-president and his wife We're
smiling and looked happy. A stone,
bearing the name of the street "vaille
Theodore Roosevelt" was then un.
veiled and Mr. Roosevelt broke the
flowered chain that was stretched
agross the driveway and amid a new
burst of 'vivas" led Mrs. Roosevelt up
the drive to the hotel There the may
or in flattering speech told how
proud the municipality was to con-
fer citizenship upon the great "apos-
tie of peace" The city clerk. who
wore a bedizened uniform and feath-
ers in his cap, stepped forward and
presented the parchment in a silver
case upon a cushion covered with the
American flag.
Signor Caretti, mayor of Porto
Mauriz today received a cablegram
from President Taft thanking the
people for the enthusiastic reception
accorded to Roosevelt The cable
gram was in reply to one from the
mayor announcing Roosevelts arriv--
al.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 11.-Mys-
terry and tragedy such as would battle
the keen intelligence of a Sherlock
Holmes are the warp woof of the
Swope case. Whether the local detec-
tives and police have succeeded in un-
raveling the tangled skein will soon
be- determined when blind Justice,
from the temple points an accusing
finger at DR.. B. c. Hyde. The trial OF
the physician opened today, and the
judge has announced that a continur-
ance will be granted only for the most
valid of reasons.
DR.. Hyde will be tried first for the
alleged murder of Col. Thomas h
Swope. an eccentric millionaire of thia
city. Since his Indictment by the
grand jury, the doctor has been at
liberty on 100000 bail. He stead
fastly maintains his innocence, ana
threatens suit against those instru-
mental in causing his arrest. Besides
the murder of Col Swope, DR.. Hyde
is accused of the alleged murder OK
Chrisman Swope, a nephew of Col.
Swope, the alleged manslaughter OF
James Moss Hunton and the alleged
poisoning of eight persons.
In several counts DR.. Hyde is accus-
ed of poisoning with typhoid fever
germs with intent to murder the en-
tire Swope household including guests
and household help. Ali were strick-
en- with fever while DR.. Hyde was at
tending the Swope family and seeking
to effect the cure" of Col. ThomaR
H. Swope, whose sudden death ar
oused suspicion, and later led to an
indictment for murder. Another in-
dictment accuses Dr. Hyde of man
slaughter by bleeding Col James II.
Hunton, a cousin uf Col. Swope, In
a neglectful manner
On Feb 9, a coroner's jury that had
investigated the death of Col. Swopes
brought in a verdict that the aged
capitalist had died from the effects OF
strychnine administered in a capsule
at the direction of DR.. Hyde, but the
jury was unable to determine wheth-
er DR.. Hyde was guilty of felonious
intent in directing that the capsule
be given.
Dr. Hyde is a nephew by marriage
IF the late Col. Swope. He has many
friends among the wealthy people OF
Kansas City and Independence who
steadfastly believe in his innocence.
The Investigation into the deaths and
poisoning in the Swope family brought
out the fact that Swope had been taxi
ing treatment from herb doctor
named Jordan. and many believe that
this will be found to have some bear
ing on the case.
The jury box was filled temporarily
at eleven o'clock this morning.

roughly in yesterdays game between
the Columbus American team, is
headed off, shortstop Tinker and out
field Hoffman will be put under ar
rest and kept out of the opening game
of the National league season at Gin
cinnati Thursday.
During a dispute over a decision
that gave Columbus a run in the sixth
inning, Tinker trampled the umpire's
feet with his spikes. In the seventh
Hoffman rushed at Watkins from be-
hind and struck him, but was re-
strained by Manager Chance from
falling upon the umpire.
Chance then took all but three of
his regular players off the field. 1t

future it will be impossible for the
Chicago club to schedule an exhibition
in Columbus.
In 1907 there was trouble similar to
that which came up yesterday and
for the next two seasons Chicago was
denied an engagement here.

UMATILLA COUNTY
GRAND JURY.

With one of the shortest trial dock
cts Umatilla county circuit court
has ever had to deal with, the April
term was convened this morning.
Fourteen Of the 81 men who had been
summoned for jury duty had either
been excused or are out of the state
and for that reason it became neces-
sary to summon a special venire of
six men though the case on trial to-
day is being heard with seven Jurors
in the box.
Big Damage Suit Dismissed.
For the second time since the or
iginal suit was filed, the case of John
Bergevn against DR. ]. A Sponogle
of Athena, was dismissed this morn
ing on motion of the plaintiff. This
was a suit brought by Bergevin
against Sponogle for the recovery of
$4,000 for the alleged ruin of Ber-
gevin's daughter. This suit has been
filed twice and as many times has
been dismissed.
Suing for Big Commission.
The case on trial today is that of
Coutts & Hayes against j. K. Bott
ana is lot lne COlleCllOn OF SEUUU al
legged to be due as commission for
the sale of the Bot farm near Helix.
1t will be remembered that the Bott
farm was sold several months ago by
Coutts & Hayes 1t seems that the
land had been listed with the plain
tiffs for sale and it is alleged by them
that after they had secured a buyer
for the place and had brought seller
and buyer together that Bott took the
land out of the hands of the agents
and closed the deal himself. He
therefore claims they are not entitled
to any commission.
The jury in the case was secured
just before noon and is now compos-
ed of the following: Charles Bond,
Albert Shumway, c. NJ. McEwen, Dave
Nelson, Frank Sherman, Thomas
Thompson, George Carmichael.
Grand jury In Session.
Seven men were also drawn this
morning for grand jury and under
the direction of the district attorney
they are now investigating some mat
ters of which the public has not yet
been made familiar. 1t is supposed,
however, that the recent raid on the
roulette game will be looked into.

Pittsburg, April 11.-A sermon on
martyrdom, in which Frank Skala
an editor and prominent mission
worker, had declared himself willing
to lay down his life for the Christian
cause, was followed yesterday by his
assassination in a highly sensational
manner and the shooting down also OF
a fellow church leader, John Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congregational
church in Woods Run, q suburb, al
the head of more than 100 foreigners
A raggedly dressed and collarless man
poked his way through the crowd and
when he was only a step behind the
leaders he pressed a revolver to Ska
las head and fired twice.
The bullet took effect in the Jaw
and temple and In the midst of his
followers Skala fell dead.
Assassin Heard Sermon.
Gay. who threw up his right hand
&c II to ward off the weapon, wg
struck first In the thumb and then
a second bullet was buried in his
head.
He fell unconscious across the body
of his colleague.
Fer some moments the assassin
stood over his prey in a crazed con-
temptation of the deed, flourishing
the revolver while the panic stricken
crowd fled to shelter behind posts and
doorways.
The madman was Jan Radowitch, a
character known to most of the mis-
sion for his shiftless habits, slovenly
dress and radical opinions. A mo-
ment before he had meekly read from
Juvenile leaflets in the Sunday school
lead by Skala, previously he had sat
In n back pew of the church during
the regular sermon: and at the COM
mencement of the services Skala had
shaken his hand in greeting. In all
this Radowitch had given no warn
Ing of his murderous intent
There were no police in sight when
the murder was done, the church peo-
pie were too frightened to seize the
assassin and after the wild flourish OF
his weapon and stamping of his feet
on the bodies he made off and was
soon lost to view. A large armed pos
Sc OF police, detectives and church
people was soon in pursuit but up to
a late hour last night had found no
trace of him.
