Genoa. April $—The sentimental Qustimage of Theodore Roosevelt and is wife, on which it was their inten- tion to retrace by easy stages their Boneymoon trip from Spezia to Genoa, ended abruptly here this afternoon, twenty-four hours ahead of the sched- ule which had been planned. Embarrassing Demonstrations. The change in plans was made to ®void the constantly increasing dem- enstration Colonel Roosevelt and his wife were encountering along the road. At every little village or cross- roads, they were met by men, Wwo- men and children the former with flags and the latier with bouquets. As an ance of the demonstrations imat were being accorded them, six handred persons, many of them Amer- fcans, acclaimed Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt with vivas and hurrahs ®s they left Rapallo. where they had funcheon today. This was the eli- max to their embarrassments, and Colonel Rooseveit gave orders to be | @riven direct to Genoa. The people and ss of Genoa have manifested the most intense interest in the movements of Colonel Roose- veit. His second honeymeon journey stirred their romantic natures to a high pitch and when the news spread of his coming, & big crowd hurried to the modest Hotel Brittania, where he had secured quarters, and with cheer- Ing and the waving of hats greeted the arrival of the dust covered carriage @s it rattled up the stony street to the accompaniment of its drivers wildly cracking whip.

At Miss Carow’s Villa Today. Tomorrow the Roosevelt will con- tinue their journey by train to Porto Maurizio, where they will visit Miss Carow, Mrs. Roosevelt's sister. who has a’beautiful villa there. The in- habitants of Porto Maurizio have planned elaborate festivities in honor of the American ex-president, but chief interest in his three days’ stay at the Carow villa will be the visit there on Monday to see Colonel Roose- velt of Gifford Pinchot, the former chief forester of the United States de- partment of agriculture. It is equally certain, however, that the visit of Mr. Pinchot will not be followed by any of the sensational developments that evidently are anticipated in some quarters. Colonel Roosevelt has an- nounced in advance that he will have nothing to say after the interview. Will Not Talk Politics. He continues to maintain the silence on political affairs he brought back with him from the heart of Africa. He has kept an entirely open mind | while being posted on what happened during his absence and with regard to the present actual political situation |at home. Without bias he is ready to listen fo friend or foe, Accordingly, Colonel Roosevelt will- ingly acceded to Mr. Pinchot's request for an interview, and during it Mr. Pinchot s expecfed to explain in de- tail his side of the series of events that led up to bis dismissal by Presi- dent Taft from the post of chief for- ester. It is said that by letter or other- wise since he returned to_civilization Colonel Roosevelt has had from ardent supporters and admirers in the United States a_good deal of sharp criticism of the Taft administration and it is believed also that he has received ap- peals urging the necessity of his re- entry into the political arena. But if this be so, Colonel Roosevelt has not siven the slightest Intimation of what impression they have made. He al- ways Insists that he has nothing to say concerning politics and will have nothing to say on the subject when he gets back to America. CORESPONDENTS INVOLVED NUMBERED ELEVEN.

This Will Promote Contentment and Inte-sst of the Sailors. Wash' igton, April 8.—After having worked for years to develop the sys- tem of one man control of the great fleets of the navy, Becretary Meyer has come to_the conclusion that the abili- tise of the individual have reached the | breaking point, and that it will be nec- | essary to sub-divide the responsibility. | Therefore, he has approved @ number of changes in the naval regulations concerning the admdnistration of the Atlantic and Pacific flets. The main puropse of these changes is to relieye the commanders’in chief of the fleets of much of the details of | adminstration which occupled a large { part of their time. This is to be ac- | complished by transferring to the rear admiral in command of each division | of the fleet, comprising four ships | a large méasure of authority and ad- ministration power, which will have the beneficial resulf of fitting themsto succeed readily to thelr chief command to which they are eligible. At the same time the commander in chief will exercise supervisory authority over all of the divisions instead of over single ships as_units. Extending the idea, the commanders of divisions will be given an opportuni- ty to sail away wiht their four ships o different parts of the world on de- tached service, with the understand- ing that the varlous divisions will at certain periods be gathered for target practice and general fleet exercises, So the American Laitleshiys hereafter will be ceen oftener in forelgn waters, and it is expected this will do much to pro- mote the contentment and interest of the sailors.

New York, April 8.—Supreme Court Justice Blanchard today granted John Donovan of St. Joseph, Mo., permis- sion to amend his complaint in an ac- tion originally instituted against the late E. H.
