IJAV Pho MESSAGE GREETED 61 LOUD LAUGHTER Mcmlicrs of House Do Not Seem to Take President's Reply I Seriously. ROOSEVELT STANDS BY ORIGINAL STATEMENTS Cites (he Record and Declares That His Contentions Are Well Upheld.

WASHINGTON, Jan. -I. Unusual attention was paid in the House of Representatives today to the reading of a message from the president, replying to-a resolution of that body calling on him for au explanation of the intimation in his annual message that members of Congress wcro afrafd to he investigated by tho secret service. Tho galleries were packed. The president's specific reference lo certain speeches by Messrs.

'lawney. Minnesota; Smith, Iowa; Sherlcy, Keu-tuckj', and Fitzgerald, New York, when the provision for tho restriction of the operations of the secret service was up for discussion, and also to Mr. Busby, tho speaker's private secretary, called forth a storm oi laughter. Tho speaker, at times, vigorously rapped for order. As tho reading of the message proceeded manv of the members chuckled, others laughed outright, while some were prone to with their neighbors.

Facetious Motion. When the reading had been concluded Mr. Perkins of New York, chairman of the special committee, moved that tho message bo referred to that committee. ''Ts an amendment in order to that motion?" inquired Mr. Griggs of Georgia in a deliberate voice.

"It is," replied the speaker. said Mr. Griggs, "I niovo thn i- messago bo returned lo the privi "Oh. no." shouted several of -Mr. Griggs's Democratic colleagues.

Mr. Perkins insisted that tho message go the special committee, and in the meantime Mr. Griggs withdrew his motion, saying that ho took that action at tho request of his parly leaders. The message was referred. Decline to Make Comment, Members of tlio house mentioned in tho message declined to make public reply.

"I have no comment to maUQ. at.tjus' Uiuo," said Mr. Fitzgerald. "Whatever comment I desire to make will bo from my pluco on the floor as a member of Congress." "Waller I. Smith of Iowa said lie would make a speech iu reference to the mention of his name, but that he would not rise to a question of personal privilege, believing that such would be to recognize an injury received.

Ho intimated his comments would bo straight to the point. Following is tho text of tho president's messago replying lo the house resolution: Text of Special Message, To tho House of Representatives: I hav received tho resolution of llio house of representatives of December 17, 100R. running na follows: "Whereas there was contained In tho sundry civil appropriation Mil which parsed congress at Its last session and iKTumo a law, a provision In reference to tho employment of the secret servlco In the treasury department: and "Whereas In tho lust annual messnKC of th" president of tho United States to tho two houses of congress it was stated in reference to that provision: 'It Is not too much to say that this amendment has been of benefit only, and could he of henoflt only, to tho criminal and It was further stated, 'The chief arcu-inent In favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to ho Invest Isated by secret servlco and It was further stated: 'But If this Is I not considered desirable a spoclai exception could be made in the law, prolnb-lllntf tho use of the secret sendee force In Investigating members of congress. It would ho far better to do this than lo do what actually was done, and strive to prevent or at least to hamper effective) action against crimlnaTs by the executive branch of tho government'; and. Interpretation Given.

"Whereas tho plain meaning of the above words Is that the majority of tho congressmen wero in fear of being Investigated by r.ecrot servlco men and that congress as a whole- was actuated by that motive In enacting1 the provision In question; and "Whereas your committee appointed lo consider these statements of thy president and to report to the houso cannot find In Iho hearings before committees nor In the records of the house or senate, any justification of this. Impeachment of the honor and Integrity of tho congress: and "Whereas your committee would prefer In order to inako an Intelligent and oiinprehenslvo report. Just lo tho president as well as to the cougYoss, lo have all the Information which the preHident may have to communicate: therefore, bo It "Resolved, That tho president he requested to transmit lo the house any evidence upon which ho bused his statement Unit the 'chief argument iu favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be Investigated by secret service and also lo transmit to the houne evidence collecting oily memher of Hie house of representatives of tho Sixtieth congress with corrupt action in his official capacity, and 10 Inform the house whether ho has Instituted proccdlngs for the punishment of any such Individual by the courts or has reported any such alleged dullnciucnclcs to tho house of representatives."

1. There is reason to beliovo that tho devastation by earthquake of Calabria ami Sicily is not yet at an end. Further heavy shocks have been predicted, and scientists declare that others still more sovero should bo expected January 7 and January when the relativo position of tho sun and moon will produce the greatest strain on the crust of tho earth. Messina is lo bo evacuated entirely as soon as possible Tho disposition of tho dead is ono of the greatest problems confronting tho authorities. Two days spent amid the ruins of Messina and IJeggio bring convincing evidence that tho horror of the situation in the Straits of Messina has in no sense boon exaggerated.

Messina and Jfeggio havo ceased to oxist. In tho ruins of tho former city J.wo-lhirds of tho inhabitants Iio buried, while at li'cggio ono-half tho people lost their lives. Messina counted 130,000 and Keggio 50,000 bouls. Sickening stenches arise- from the countless decomposing bodies, and tho air for many miles is polluted. Vultures Proy Upon Dead.

Vultures aro congregating (o prey upon tho dead. It would bo a blessing il liro should, reduce what is left of these two cities to ashes. Tho radius of ruin and death extends back with decreasing intensity for forty miles on tho mainland, and for thirty miles in Sicily. The work of rescuing and transporting wounded and homeless survivors is attended with the greatest confusion. The task of digging out and burying I Iho dead, at both Messina and Heggio.

Otherwise thev are boing left to decompose where I hoy aro found. Now all the efforts are being directed in getting the survivors away. Scenes That Terrify.

The scones for a distance along the water front niiulc the stoutest hoarl quail. Little groups of men, women and children, half-clothed, slept huddled together, crazed and numbed with grief and terror. They were awaiting the boats to tako them away. It was as-lonishing how many people were still being dug out nlivo I'Yiday morning, four days after tho catastrophe. While tho correspondent liugorud for an hour near ono of I hose stations, cloven wounded wero brought in.

"WASHINGTON, Jan. Tho fine case of tho Standard Oil company will not bo reviewed by the Supremo court of tho United States. Tho decision of the court to this effect was announced by Justice Fuller soon after tho court convened today. Tho caso camo to the court on a petition tiled by the government, asking the court in a petition for a writ of certiorari to order up tho record in caso for a review of the decision of tho United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the seventh circuit, by which Judge Landis's original decision imposing a fine of $20,000,000 against the Standard Oil company for accepting rebates from the railway companies, was reversed. Basis of Decision.

In the Supreme court the caso turned largely upon the rigjit of tho court to interfere, in view or tho fact that 'tho ease has been passed upon by the Court of Appeals, the govcrnnicnt contcnding for such privilege as a right, while it was urged in behalf of tho oil company that tho precedents were all against such proceeding. The action of the court consisted in tho announcement that the government's petition would not be granted. The effect of this announcement will bo to leave standing the decision of the Tourl of Appeals, which was adverse to Iho government I and favorable lo the company.

4. United States District Attorney Sims was informed of the adverse ruling of the Supreme cotlrl in a private telegram. Hg declined to discuss the matter. It is pointed out, however, that tho Supreme court 's ruling by no means necessarily ends the case. The original caso may again be tried before Judge Landis, or the government may proceed on some entirely new case with the same evidence.

Other indictments wero voted in Tennessee, and it is not improbable that the government's next attack on the Standard Oil company will lake place iu that state.

4. J. Harry Mnomillnn, a woll- known operator here, was placed I undor arrest tonight at Tonopah upon instructions from tho slier- 4 itf of this county, who, in turn, 4 acted at the request of Ihe Pono authorities. Ho is charged -j with passing bad paper. His I- friends declare that he gave two checks while in Pcuo ami two I da3'3 later, realizing that lie had overdrawn his account, sent tho money to Reno, where his attor- 4 ne.ys presented it to Georgo Gra- -I- ham Pice, the complainant, but that the latter reinsert to sur- I render tho paper.

Mnemillan -r 4 is accordingly out on bonds. Kicc is a partner of Nat Good- win, whoso leading lady, Edna v- Goodrich, it was reported, last I summer, Macmillnn was en- gaged to marry. There was a I- disagreement between the in- -I- lercstod parties, however, and Miss Goodrich married Goodwin -I- I- secretly. The arrest is a mis- I take in the opinion of McMil- lan's friends here. 1 Special to The Tribune.

PENO, Jan. 4. The arrest of Harry Macmillan, the reputed millionaire, who was beaten by Nat Goodwiu in rivalry for tho hand of Edna Goodrich, was requested tonight on a telegraphic warrant sent to Goldfield on tho complaint of Jim May, a gambler of Peno. who charges that Mr. Macmillan paid a gambling debt of $S00Q with checks that, wero drawn against an imaginary deposit.

Tho paper came back dishonored and Macmillan, who previvously had won $3000 in cash, ac-. Warding lo. Mji.v- was given- unt il. dav to make good. When ho fililod to "take up tho papor, tho warrant was issued here and wired to Goldfield, where Macmillan is supposed to be located.

Sensational Case. The caso is sensational in that Macmillan has boon reputed to havo been at the head of tho bear raid on Paw-hide Coalition in an alleged effort to "make Nat Goodwin pay for taking Edna Goodrich from Macmillan." Word has boon received from Los Au-gclos that Macmillan lost heavily when caught short of the Goodwin stock. Goouwin asserted today that May was not tho only one who had charges to prefer against Macmillan. since his firm iiad a small matter which might come into the courts. By Associated Press.

KKNO, Jan. -I. A telegranhic warrant for the arrest of J. Harry Macmillan. who achieved publicity roccnllv as Iho reputed millionaire minor fiance of the actress, lidna Goodrich, now Nat Goodwin's bride, was issued today for servico at Goldfield.

The warrant was issued on complaint of Jim May. a gambling house keeper of national repu tation, who alleges that Macmillan secured $S00O from him on worthless checks last November. May says that Macmillan won $3000 recently at ono of his games and later lost, giving his check for tho amount, which was not honored. Nat Goodwin in an interview hero to day said: "I know this mnii.Maemil bin only casually and through stories ho has ventilated through tho press, linking his name with me and mine. It has been very unpleasant to me.

I believe, however, my firm has something further to tako up with him." Goodwin's utterances aro believed to indicate possible developments as a result of Macniillan's alleged opposition to the Goodwin company's mining stock promotions. Macmillan left a sickbed tonight at o'clock and departed from Goldfield for Tonopah. Word has been sent to Tonopah to arrcsl him and officers havo gone from Goldfield after him. FRIENDS OF MACMILLAN WILL HAVE TO BE "SHOWN" Salt Lake people, who have known Harry Macmillan for years, will have to bo before thc3' will believe that ho has been guilty of wrongdoing, and the above conflicting dispatches will doubtless be taken with an abundance of salt. So far as Harry Macmillan 's present financial condition is concerned, but little is known here, but.

if ho had tho money today that ho has given away within tho past few 'years, ho would bo a comparatively rich man. Macmillan is ono of the tew men whoso hearts are bigger when thoy havo iTioney than whon they haven't, and when lio wns tho possessor of a largo sum of money a littln more than a year ago in Gobi-field, ho slood under several big institutions for mouths, after Iho panic was precipitated, and, by Ihe risk of his own moans, with virtually no security, prevented more than one reputed capitalist from going to the wall.

CEREMONIES TAKE PLACE IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER Federal Bunch Turns Out; Many Other Olficors Present. Init No Minister.

William Spry is now governor of fl Utah. His inaugural took placo at 12 o'clock noon Monday. Tho place was the council chamber of Salt Lako City, in the building. Salt Lake City was advised of the chango in executive when, at 12:12 o'clock, tho boom of cannon announced tho fact that the oath of office had been administered: that John Cutler had a prefix of "ex" to his name, and that William Spry had added "Governor7 to his. The chamber was filled with people.

Most of the crowd were officials of either nation, state or county. Tho fed-cral bunch was in evidenco on tho front seats. The bunch was anxious to sec how the late member of the bunch would act. One civilian occupied a jH sent among the bunch. Tho order in which the bunch had arranged them-selves follows: Arthur L.

It was 11:40 o'clock when tho band, under the di-rcction of L. P.

Christcnn, played a selection, "Old Black Joe," this -prob-ably in honor of Congressman Howell, by which name ho is known in Cache county. Meanwhile other officials con tinned to Hock into the chamber and fill up the lobby and aisles. Why Did They Blush? Then, at 11 o'clock, without loolt-ing at anvbody or naming names, the jH bank struck up, "The Jolly Robbers." And there sat the federal bunch and I wo county eonunis-sioiiers and special iH referees out of the county and stato lH offices. And they all blushed. Why, no one stated.

At the band began "Hail to the Chief," and Governor-elect Spry appeared. He was escorted to the speaker's stand. As he ascended Iho stand ho was given a moro than cordial welcome. When the applause subsided. Col.

Geo. B. Squires, assistant secretary of state, who was master of ceremonies, called the assembly to ordor. Tho iH Colonel had arranged to have Pastor jH Carver of Ogden. who aenircs to bo jH chaplain of the senate, deliver au in- vocation, but somehow or other tho jH minister was forgotten and the unusual spectacle in America of an inaugural ceremony was carried out without prayer and a blcssiug being asked from the Supreme Being, upon tho officers-elect.

Col. Squires overlooked the mat-tor. however, and in few brief re-marks introduced Governor-elect Spry. Tho governor wore tho conventional jH black suit and wore a white rose in the lapel of his coat. As ho stepped to the front- ho was given an ovation.

When the demonstration subsided Gov-ernor Sprv spoke as follows: Gov. Spry's Address.
