(By The Associated Press) President Wilson today wound up his visit to Italy by a tour of Turin, which gave him another tumultous welcome, quite as hearty as the greetings he received at Genoa and Milan. Altogether, however, the greeting was more orderly Again thousands of persons flocked the streets and rent tho air with shouts of "Viva Wilson, God of Peace," and After a round of receptions, which included the freedom of the city being conferred upon him. a luncheon at which the cardinal was present and where the president made a speech, and a. visit to the university, where an honorary degree was conferred upon him. President Wilson and his party departed for Paris, where they, are due to arrive tomorrow morning.

The most picturesque feature of President Wilson's- visit here was the gathering of more than a thousand mayors of cities and towns in "Piedmont to greet him. They came from the hills, the fields and the valleys, and virtually every little cross roads community was represented as well as the large cities. Each of the mayors wore a sash of the national colors. They represented all walks of life and every condition, or society. There were among them prosperous bankers, merchants, cultured, leading citizens, shy countrymen, typical village blacksmiths and artisans, each representing the heart of his community.

The mayors passed before the president in a lonjr line and each received a smile and a hand clasp. Some Mayors Are Shy Some of the mayors 'were so shy that when they looked in through the door at the brilliantly lighted reception room, they had to be dragged inside by their friends. Some of them kissed the hand of the president. Others bent their knees in low bows. One of the men as he passed the president muttered the only English words spoken, "Good day, Mr.

Wilson." Crowds of thousands packed the square before the palaee of the Duke of Piedmont and heard President Wilson from the balcony deliver a short speech. The crowd was so rrreat and was kept so far away, that few among it probably heard the words of greet-! ing the president uttered, but none the less the people were enthusiastic, Thousans of hats wer tossed into the air and there was a continuation of the cries of iva ilson." Later at a luncheon President Wilson, responding: to the welcome accorded him. repeated the words'of his Milan speech of -unday. night, dealing with the suffering of the working (Continued on Page Three) PARIS.

At that hour it was not generally known that Theodore Roosevcit dead. flovc-rnor Campbell, accompanied by Priv.iio Secretary "Milnes and a few friends, had gone to the Capitol some time before and called on Governor Hur.t. who had everything in readiness for his departure. There was a friendly chat in which oniy lighter matters wore discussed, among them the faii' i of the incoming governor to file his i official oath earlier and a ridiculous rumor spread that by his failure he bad disqualified himself.

This announcement vas made by the president himself to The Associated Press this When it was suggested that the greatest reception ever accorded a foreign ruler was awaiting him, the president said: "I must return President Wilson's vistt. I am not looking for the honors of a reception. I simply wish to thank America and Americans for what they have done for the cause of liberty and France." Lynch to Get After Liberty Bond Brokers SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.

Action will be taken shorily to curb 1 the activities of certain bond brokers who are asking the public to sell its Liberty bonds, it was announced here today. A call was issued by Governor James K. Lynch of the federal reserve bank for a conference of twelfth district financial representatives, to be held here January 17. Among those who will attend are the Liberty loan state chairmen, state directors of war savings and women state chairmen of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Alaska and Hawaii.

END HIS IN SOCIALISTS' TRIAL CHICAGO. Jan. G. The case of the five socialist leaders charged with con- spiracy to violate the espionage law i will be given to the jury tomorrow afternoon. Closing arguments of counsel were betrun today.

District Attorney Cltarles F. Clyne, in opening for the government, described the alleged anti-war activities of the defendants as organized sedition. He said the socialist leaders deliberately violated the espionage act and deserved the severest punishment possible under the statute. He declared that the defendants had -plotted together to break down public morale and discourage recruiting in the army and navy. William A.

Cunnea, who delivered the opening address for the defense, made a bitter attack on Private Arnold Schiller and other important witnesses for the government. He also assailed the methhods used by the government in preparing its case, charging that attempts had been made to coerce 'several witnesses for the defense. The attorney asserted that the defendants had been no more active in opposing war since the beginning ct the European conflict than in previous years. In discussing what might be considered seditious utterances, he said the testimony showed that President Wilson had confessed he was unable to say just where the line should be drawn. "If -'the president of tho United States cannot say just how far free speech should be tolerated in time of war, how could these defendants be expected to know just when they might be violating the law?" said Attorney Cunnea.

Attorney H. C. Cochems followed for the. defense and said that the issue in-x-olved made the case one of historical consequence. He said the defendants should be regarded by the jury as officials of a political party who had spread the principle's of the party in time of war.

He said there was no intention-to 'violate, any law. He pictured the socialists as political martyrs, and made a plea for the protection of free speech and a free press, even in time of war. Attorney Seymour Stedman will deliver the closing argument for the defense tomorrow morning, and Assistant District Attorney Joseph B. Fleming will close for the government.

Leased WlreJ OYSTER BAT, ST. Jan. Colonel' Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States, who died at his home on Sagamore Hill early today, will be laid to rest without pomp or ceremony in Youngs' memorial cemetery, in this village, "Wednesday afternoon.

He -will be buried on a knoll overlooking Long Island sound, a plot which he and Jlrs. Roosevelt selected soon after he left the White House-In the words of the clergyman, -who will conduct the funeral service, "America's most typical American," known in every corner of the earth, win go to his grave as a "quiet, democratic, christian country gentleman, beloved, by his' neighbors."

Roosevelt's -wishes, there will be no music and no eulogy, but only the simple service of the Episcopal church, conducted by tho pastor, the Rev. George E. Talmage. The church, founded in 1705, and rebuilt in 1878, will accommodate less than E00 persons, so that admittance will be by card only. These cards, it was announced, will be issued from the colonel's office in, New York, and will be given only to relatives and intimate friends.

World Sends Condolences. Cable messages and telegrams of condolence, not only from fellow countrymen of high and low degree, but from distinguished citizens of manv nations, were pouring into Oyster Bav tonight by the hundreds. All expressed heartfelt grief at the passing of a great man, and deepest sympathy. for Mrs. Roosevelt, always devoted to her distinguished husband, and one of his most trusted advisers.

The widow is bearing up bravely under the shock of the sudden death, coming so soon after their youngest son, Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, who lost his life In a battle with a German airman last July. The death of Colonel Roosevelt is -believed by the physicians who attended him to have been hastened by grief over Quentin's death, coupled with the anxiety over the serious wounds suffered by Captain Archie Boosevelt, while fighting in France. He was proud of his soldier sons and their heroism, but he was a devoted father, and he grieved for the one who gave his life for his country, as well as' for the other who was wounded. He hid his suffering from the world, how-t ever, in the hope that he might set an example for other fathers and, mothers, who had given their sons to the nation. To the last.

Colonel Roosevelt had been preaching Americanism, and few realized that his health had been It was believed that the ragged constitution which bail string such good stead, through so many years on strenuous me. would not fail and that he would regain his usual health. His messages of late, however, had been delivered throug hthc medium oi editorials or public statements instead of as addresses.

Resigned naval position in 1898 and and organized tho First United States Volunteer popularly known as the "Rough Riders." Republican nominee for governor of New York" in 1898. Elected by a plurality of 18,079 over Robert Van Wyck, Democratic candidate.

Incurred enmity of prominent politicians because of his ardent methods of reforming New York state conditions. Nominated as vice president with William McKinley and elected in November, 1900. Senator T. C-Piatt is said to have brought about this nomination as a plan to be rid of" Mr. Roosevelt.

Upon McKinley's death, September 14, 1901. he became president of the United States. During his continuation of McKinley's policies, he is credited with Maintained the Philip-, pine policy; authorized construction of Panama Canal; revision of financial system; increase of the "'navy; establishment of a perman- Jent census bureau: establishment -jof the department of commerce and labor. During this adminis tration, the Northern Securities case, Sherman Anti-Trust Law and plain dealing with trusts are famous. In 1904 he was nominated for the presidency by acclamation and later defeated Alton B.

Parker by 2,000,000 votes, the largest ever accorded a candidate. During his second administration are recorded the following events: Ending of ihe Russo-Japanese war: second Hague peace conference; prohibition of unfair discrimination in railway rates; pure food products legislation; saved Tennessee Coal and Iron company from bankruptcy, for which he was widely criticised; paved the way for nomination of William H. Taft to succeed him, after declining to run again. In 1909,. Roosevelt spent the year hunting big game in Africa.

Return from Africa in 1910 was in the nature of a triumphal progress through Europe, where he was accorded a greeting equal to that given Grant and surpassed only by that of President Wilson, now abroad. During his absenoe, the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy arose, resulting in dividing the party into conservatives and insurgents. Until 1910, he took no active, part in politics, although besought by both factions for his support. Threw himself into the New York state campaign and succeeded in nominating the governor -of his choice, H. L.

Stimson, who afterward became secretary of war under President Taft. Stimson's defeat was regarded a severe blow to Roosevelt. Many misunderstandings then placed Taft at the head of the conservative element of the Republican party, leaving tho insurgent or progressive faction in Roosevelt-' favor. In 1912, he had become tha exponent of several radical political reforms, claiming they represented the views of Lincoln and Jefferson. The middle of this year, he acceeded to the request of many friends and announced himself a presidential candidate before the Republican convention.

His violent struggle with Taft for the nomination, during which he always claimed that Taft was nominated by a pure "steal," will always remain in the memory of those who followed the political tragedy. The same year, the Progressive party was formed, of which he became the candidate for president. Three weeks before the election in 1912, Roosevelt was shot and wounded, while speaking in Milwaukee, but not seriously injured. In the election, Roosevelt divided the Republican party, receiving 88 electoral votes, making Woodrow" Wilson the successful candidate, although the latter received a minority of the total popular vote. Following the election of 1912, Roosevelt made a tour of exploration to South America.

In 1913, he appeared before the country as a critic of President WiW son's foreign policy of "watchful especially as it related to the Mexican situation. It was in 1914, at the outbreak of the European war that he urged upon President Wilson the duty of protesting against the invasion of Belgium by the German army. Upon the sinking of the Lusitania, Roosevelt advocated immediate use of force, in this connection he called attention to his firm belief in absolute preparedness at all times. Two libel 3stis enlivened his civil life, om SFSught by William Barnes, in 1915, of which Roosevelt. as the winner; the other' was brought by Roosevelt against a Marquette, Michigan, newspaper editor who had accused the ex-president of using intoxicating liquors to excess.

The judgment was in favor of Roosevelt. Roosevelt was a wielder of the "big stick;" an exemplar of the strenuous life; advocate of simplified spelling; opponent of race suicide; enemy of nature fakers. His literary work is of a high character, both as to content and as to style. It ranges from scholarly historical writing and brilliant political essays to entertaining narratives of 4iis hunting experiences and contributions to natural science. He was elected to the presidency of the American Historical Society in 1912 and also to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Beside his editorial and contributive writings, Roosevelt is the author of about 25 allnua, 'bon: Vh 'VS aS nnnr majoritv of ihe men were tr mi. at Camp Cody, Mex-I otul anual bonus, amount inn" ico, and Dodge Iowa. 1 (Continued on Eagfi4.
