Porto Maurizio. April 13.-Mr. Roose-
welt and Kermit Roosevelt left this af-
ternoon for Venice. where they are due
at o'clock tomorrow morning. Mrs
Roosevelt and Ethel will remain here
The former president and son Travelled
today In q special car placed at their
disposal by the government.
The popular demonstration upon the
departure of Roosevelt all but exceeded
In impressiveness that which marked
his arrival The mayor had placarded
the town with a proclamation thanking
the distinguished American for his visit
and referring to him in the most COM
plimentary terms. Thruout the streets
flaming posters bore the message,
sCome back soon."
An hour before train time the mayor.
prefect of police and city fathers went
to the Carow villa and escorted Roose-
velt's carriage to the station amid a
veritab1e rain Of flowers. At the sta
ton battalion Of infantry headed by
a band was drawn up and stood at
salute as Roosevelt stepped from the
carriage, and entered the car. AS the
train. pulled out Roosevelt stood on the
platform waving his hat while the
band played Star Spangled Banner"
The crowd shouted Long live Roose-
velt."
Pinchot Goes to Zurich.
After spending a second day with
Mr. Roosevelt, Clifford Pinchot left for
Zurich Last night seemingly happy. He
declined to make any statement, but
his countenance was as eloquent as
words.
The fact that Mr.. Roosevelt accepted
the invitation OF Pinchot to speak on
conservation at Kansas City can only
be regarded as an Indication that he is
s-fn entire sympathy with the fight which
the} ex-fQrester made for the Roosevelt
conservation policies as he interpreted
them.
When Mr. Roosevelt speaks there is
no doubt that he will re.terate en-
pnatically the views ne c instantly ex
pressed ir his annual messages and
addresses In favor of the protection Of
waterpower sites from the grasp Of mo-
and government regulation Of the ex
nopolies, the preservation Of forests
and government regulation Of the ex-
ploitation of mineral deposits in public
lands, etc.
Will Not Attack Administration.
That Mr. Roosevelt in any way will
attack the Taft administration is not
for moment believed. At the same
time. however, he will make it clear
that he stands for the principles which
he auaugurated and which, in a way, he
outlined.
Mr. Pinchot left Porto Maurizio
smiling but still reticent, tho deeply
Appreciative Of Mr.. Roosevelt's prom
ise to addresssthe organization he Gre
ated. Unquestionably the men who
have followed Mr.. Pinchot can take
real comfortfrom the simple announce
ment Of Mr.. Roosevelt's Kansas City
speech, made today.
The address which Mr.. Roosevelt will
make before the conservation congress
will be only one OF a number he will
deliver. He will speak at Cheyenne,
Wyo, in the latter, part OF August, at
the John Brown battlefield dedication
In Kansas. probably at San Antonio,
Tex, and at the Hamilton club in Chi
cago.
Resists All Political Influence.
No expectation need to be enter
tanned that Mr. Roosevelt will discuss
politics in any Of his speeches. have
reason to believe that he will conire
himself entirely to the great prin-
ciples to which he committed himself
IA the past and for which he still
stands.
strong efforts are being made to in
duce Mr. Roosevelt to take part in the
coming political campaign. The pres

factions, but Mr.. Roosevelt is giving
no Indication Of what he will do. He
