Special Despatch 10 TIE New Yosk
HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c.. June 20.
FOR the first time in the history
of the House of Representa-
tives a woman to-day presided
as Speaker, Representative Alice
Robertson, Republican (Okla.).
Although Miss Robertson was
in the chair almost half an hour
she, seemingly untrue to femi-
nine traditions, said nothing. The
House gave her an ovation as
Representative Walsh (Mass.),
Speaker pro tem., called her to
the chair to preside during a roll
call. Miss Robertson smilingly
accepted the tribute and once or
twice raped the gavel for order.
While Miss Robertson presided
Uncle Joe Cannon, who once
welded great power from the
same char, sat on the front row
of seats and joined in the demon
stration as she pounded the desk
with the same gavel which he
used during his years as ruler of
the House.

quake shocks have been felt
at MessinL and Reggie di Gala
bria, Italy, according to a Havas

strange believing noise, which
terrified the people.

bria are in the so-called Italian
earthquake zone. They we're en-
tirely destroyed in 1888, and
again on December %, 1908,
were visited by one of the worst
earth shocks on record.
Reggie, which IS just across
the strait from Messina, lost
1000 out of total population of
10000, and in the Province of
Reggie $4,000 persons were
killed out of total population
of $4,000. Reports placed the
number of dead in Messina alone
at 100000. Some of the dead
remained unburied for five years.
Since then numerous earthquakes
have visited the region.

seemed to notice the light in the dwell
