Twenty-Five Refugees Reach Vera
 Cruz

Vera Cruz, May t9.-Twenty-five Americans arrived in Vera Cruz to- day by train from Mexico City.
 E. J. Pettegrew, one of the refu- gees, was robbed in his home at Churubusco, a suburb of Mexico City, eight miles from the capital the day before he left, by seventeen mounted Mexicans from the hills. His daugh- ter and step-dauehter were not mo- tested.
 While Pettigrew hurried to a neighbors residence and telephoned to the city for help the robbers sacked his house, carrying off safe with jewelry valued at $2,OOO and $50 in cash.
 Eight refugees from San Luis Po- tosi today reported that the city was quiet when they left, three days ago, although there were many constitu- tionalists in the vicinity. Fifteen Americans remained there.
 All the refugees report that the capital is full of rumors of plots and conspiracies but there was no ulS' order. Foreigners, they said, are about their business as usual.
 American soldiers and the resi- dents of Vera Cruz, native and for eign, continue to show the keen m terest in reports from the capital tending to support the theory that an early effort will be made to unseat President Huerta. None of these re- ports is definite but many are con vinced of the existence of plot em- bracinz officers of the Mexican arfny as well as politicians.
 The greatest fear in the capital say refugees, snot that the plot Will he carried through, but that this may not occur before Zapata forces enter the city and precipitate serious trouble
 At Mexico City the capture or Tampico by the consttutionalists has been admitted by government news papers but they declare this was ac- complished with the assistance of the ! American marines.

ROOSEVELT AT OYSTER BAY.
Only Old Friends and Relatives and
 Small Group at the Pier.


 Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 19.-TheO- dore Roosevelt set foot on his native soil at $40 o'clock tonight for the first time in seven months. Hil homecoming was a quiet affair, in sharp contrast with the noisy wei come he received when all New York turned out to greet him on his return from Africa four years ago.
 A group of thirty persons, old friends and relatives, stood quietly on the beach at the cove on Oyster Bay just down the hill from Colonel Roosevelt's home as the former presi- dent, leaning heavily on a cane and assisted by two men, tOled up the gangway from the landing place. lt was a shock to his old friends, to whom his unusual physical vigor had been always a source of wonder, to note the change.
 But though Colonel Roosevelt had paid this penalty for his researches in the jungle, he gave no sign of change in manner. His voice had the same ring. his gestures were as vigorous and his teeth came together with the same shanp click as he stood there on the beach to greet his old friends. It was a picturesque scene. Since long before sundown the littlS group had been waiting on the beach. As night fell two lanterns were brought. Here and there a thin finger of light from the waiting auto mobiles parked on the short shot across the dark waters of the bay, Across the water the lights of the village glowed. Few words were spoken as the little company waited for the first glimpse of the lights ot the tug bearing the former president from New York harbor.
 Shortly after o'clock the tug was sighted. She steamed in slowly and after what seemed to those on shore like an interminable delay, a rowboat put off and crept up to the wharf.
 Not word was spoken until ia miliar voice was heard across the water.
 Why, hello'" cried Colonel Roose- welt. Hello there"
 A little cheer went up as those on shore caught sight of bronzed face lighted by the rays of the boats lan- tern Mrs. Richard Derby, Colonel Roosevelt's youngest daughter, ra- down the gangway and put her arms about her father as he was helped slowly from the boat to the wharf. He made his way up the incline to land, and stopped to greet his friends.
 "By George, it's good to see you all," he said, with the broadest kind of a smile.
 How do you feel?" was the first question put to him.
 Fine. fine; just fine" he ex- claimed.
 The next question he cut off short.
 ''No politics. no politics" he said. Not a word of politics. I'm going to stay here quietly in Oyster Bay for ten days, until I leave for Europe for my sons wedding I shall go no- where except to Washington to speak before the National Geographic society"
 Washington is a bad place for you now broke in someone.
 "T wish you were there now, Theo- dore." came from a grayhaired woman.

SEVEN WITNESSES TESTIFY IN BEHALF OF THE ACCUSED
 POLICE OFFICER.
ROSES STORY C0NTRADICTED
Several Witnesses Testify That 5rdaie Webber Told Them That Becker Was Innocent of the Rosen- thai Murder.

New York May 19.-'Seven wit nesses today testified for Charles Becker in an effort to prove the one time head of the strong arm" squad was the victim of a frame up." matched by Bald Jack" Rose, the in- former, as means of saving himself, and his companions, ''Bridgie" Web 'ber, Harry Vallon and sam Sdhepps, from being placed on trial for the murder of Herman Rosenthal the tenderloin gambler, who "squealed" to the district attorney. The defense probably was one-third completed when court was adjourned until to. morrow.
 Rosenthal, the defense is trying to prove, came to his death as the re- suit of a gamblers war. Several of the defense's witnesses were used to discredit the testimony offered by Rose, Webber and Vallon, to show that Webber had repeatedly ex- pressed sorrow for having taken part in the frame up" and that on many occasions he had said Becker had nothing to do with the murder.
 lsidore Fshman, who said he had known Webber, Jack Rose, Vallon and Rosenthal for from ten to twenty five years, was q withess,
 'Webber told me in the Tombs he was remorseful," said Fishman. The day after Rose appeared before the grand jury Webber told me Rose had put all the blame on Becker's shoulders"
 Fishman said he was walking with Webber through the city hall park last summer when they met Jack Sullivan's brother Charlie. He said Webber told Charlie he would make an affidavit setting forth Beckers innocense and was sorry he had helped frame up on Becker"
 Morris Beecher, an attorney, testi- fled Webber had told him he was sorry he had taken part in the al- legged framing up" of Becker.
 Roslyn D. Whytock, a ship news reporter, testified about an interview he obtained from Webber, in which Webber was represented as saying there never was any intention that Rosenthal should be killed, but that two of the gunmen instructed to spare the gambler had "got drunk and made fools of themselves" Rich ard H. Rooney, another reporter, gave similar testimony.
 Charles Reich, known as Charlie Sullivan a brother of Jack Sulli- van,' said he visited his brother in the west side prison and told of many conversations there in which Webber told him that Becker was ] innocent.
 Frederick H. Hawley, formerly a reporter considered to be the star witness for the defense, testified that on the morning of the murder he called Beckers house twice on the | telephone. It had been shown by the prosecution that two calls went to Becker that morning from pay sta ton near the scene of the crime. He said he told Becker to hurry down and that after he arrived he remained with him until o'clock in the morn ing. He said at no time was Becker ion Forty-second street, nor did he meet Jack Rose after he came down town.
 Rose testified that he had met Becker
