can Minister Places the Number Of
Dead at From Twenty to Fifty.
Avelline, Italy, June 9.-King Victor
Emmanuel and Queen Helena spent
the day amidst the desolation of Cali
trl ministering to their afflicted sub
jects. The town is practically heap
of ruins.
Following the destructive earth
quake shocks the 5000 inhabitants
bivouacked in the country districts.
There was much suffering, but the ar
rival of the sovereigns gave new cour-
age to the survivors.
The passage of the royal train
through the province afforded the oc-
casion for frequent demonstrations by
the populace. AT every railway sta
tion the king and queen were greeted
by crowds which streamed down from
the mountains. When the train
reached here it was suggested that her
majesty break the trip for a brief
sleep, but she refused, saying that she
wished to reach Calitri at the earliest
hour possible.
Their majesties were much affected
by the sight which met them here. The
king insisted on going through the
streets half filled with falling walls
and visiting every spot where his di-
rection or advice We're of value. While
the king was so engaged the queen
turned her attention to the more help
less ones. She had word of comfort
for every woman and caresses for the
children. Her majesty said she would
take care OF the orphans She personal
ly visited the wounded ones, inquiring
So sously as to their needs. Subse-
quently the queen ordered her own
physician to supervise whatever medi-
cal attention was required.

MURPHY PRAISES TARIFF
Former Governor Takes Issue
with Jersey Progressives.

Orange y. J.. May 2e.-Ex-Governor
Franklin Murphy. chairman Of the Repub-
lican STATE Committee and member of the
Republican National Committee in a speech
at the dinner of the Orange City Republi-
can Committee tonight took issue with the
Nav Idea faction II this state. when he
said he vas glad TO address a gathering of
simon pure members of his party, men who
were 100 per cent Republican. He said the
Republican party was for reform. but was
not composed of professional reformers; it
was progressing without creating unsettled
conditions in bringing about progress
Mr. Murphy's speech, in the main,
defence Of President Taft ano the Payne
tariff bin He said that President Taft was
accomplishing just as much as Roosevelt,
the only difference being he was doing it
with less noise. There were too many dem
agogues in the party at the present time,
Mr. Murphy attested- What was needed,
Re sid vas upright end honest men. who
were not afraid to stand up for what they
thought vas right and, he added, L am
sorry to say that the latter, are scarce, as
the tendency Of the present day statesman
is to fall under the influence of popular
cian1or'
Representative r Wayne Parker, chair
man of the House Judiciary Committee,
made a clear and brilliant defence Of the
Payne tariff bill IT is not the tariff Dues
ron that we have to consider said Mr.
Parker. but the bread and butter of the
American workman If you will read the
literature published in this measure and dI-
gest IT. I know you will agree with Presi-
dsnt Taft thar IT is the best tariff bill eyer
enacted by Congress.
"1f course It viii be criticised by the free
traders and some others who claim to be
Republicans on the ground that IT did not
reduce the tariff. This criticism IS IN
true. for Under this act the tariff on So
000, 600. 600 of articles was reduced. while
" ~ss raised in only ss57 600, 600 Of articles,
and three fourths OF the latter we're lux
