Several of the nalora objected and tha matter went over for coni"ratlon next Saturday. Testimony regarding tha twenty-four mining letters aaid to hava been found in Glavis' effects In Seattle, was finally con cluded today. This testimony has been introduced as an impeachment of G'avla It has occupied much time. Mlaeral Expert Testifies. Alfred H. Brooks, mineral expert of the Geographical survey, was on tha stand when adjournment was taken yesterday. Mr. Brooks strongly favora tha opening of the Alaskan cval f elds and deolares the territory is retrogressing as a result t-t ti'i government policy of withholding the ee.al lands. Attorney Brandeis postponed further tro?s-examlnatlon of Mr. Cbrirtensen until be could hava time to read over the mass of documentary evidence put in regarding the disappearance and subsequent discovery cf twenty-four missing letters among Olavis effects at Seattle. eilavia claims the discovery of tha let ters in his box was a "frame up." Testi mony Introduced yesterday showed that a search had been under way for tha lettera for four months prior to their discovery. Tha search had been begun long before an investigation cf Mr. Ballinger bad been tnenUooed- Glavla Box Oaeaed. Before going into public session the cojn mutee opened the famous Olavis box from Seattle and Andrew Chrtsteosen explained just where he found the twenty-four miss ing letter. Mr. Brooks continued his testimony. He related that the Vnlted States controlled from UloM per cent of tha world's visible supply of coal and that at tne present rate nf consumption it would require 4.911 years to exhaust the supply in the United States. The figures were arbitrary, the witness raid. Figured on a basis of the increased tine of coal In the future, at the same rate e.f Increase of the last two or three years. Mr. Brooks said It had been estimated that the supply in the United State would be exhausted in from 109 to 1 years. Some where between the estimates of ISO and too ytars, be declared, the truth was to be found. "If the supply will last S.000 years we don't need to bother about conservation for 2.0G0 or 1.000 yeara." remarked Repre-t-entattve Madison, "but If it will only last sjO years, we are up against it." Too Mack Alarm. Mr. Brooks said ha thought there had been too much alarm as to tha exhaustion of the coal supply. Other factors of power aie coming into general use and this in tlir.a will decrease the use of coaL Im proved methods of consumption also are re filling in the decreased use of coal. As a general proposition tha witness said he favored the leasing of coal lands, but he thought the Alaska fields were too far easy from transportation to be employed to advantage. lie thought such a price should be put on the lands in Alaska, how ever, as to prevent speculative holding of ih property and require its being worked. Mr. Brandeis wanted to know if the wit ness did nt think It was perfectly absurd that a man of G!avls' "undoubted ability." II ha had wanted to "conceal" tha papers, ttiould have put them in an uncovered box B tie federal building. Christeneen said tie thought Glavia was capable of "most anything." 'You mean anything bad" said Brandeis: but did you ever hear of bis doing any thing foolish, except to send that letter cf August 11 to President Taftr' Maay Saiaesied aaea.

April .-The entire population of this p-etty little old Italian town, nesting amid groves of orange : ar.d olive trees, gave Mr. and Mrs. Roose- I velt a truly rema-kable welcome when they arrived this evening from 'ienoa. For days the residents have been decorat ing in honor of the visit, and American colors fluttered everywhere, from the muni cial buildings, the houses in the streets and the villas. Many of the decorations of the poorer quarters were home-made ard the Ingenuity displayed In their eomnoai Uon was eloquent testimony of the deep impression the comlr.g of the ex-president of the United States had made. Even the sisters In the neighboring con vents displayed American flags on the gates. Dead walls were covered with posters bearing such inscriptions as "Roose velt forever." "Long live Roosevelt," and similar express ior.a of regard. The municipal council at a special meet ing today decided to confer the title on Mr. Roosevelt of "honorary cltlien" and to name the new Onore drive, which is now under construction ana is the prkle or the town.

A band struck up "Hail Columbia," and the crowd cheered lustily. A group of school children In white, bearing flowers, tried to march, protected by naval cadets, but they were prevented by the singing cheering throng. GENOA. I April .-Colonel and Mrs. Rosevelt had cause to be glad today that the crowds encountered had forced them to abandon their carriage drive yesterday, for since morning rain haa fallen In tor- renia, and had the two not reached here last night, they would have had difficulty In getting through today.
