WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. ? In a char
acterlstlc speech today. Senator Bt-n
Tillman oi South Carolina, flayed
President Roosevelt for his insult to
congress in the secret service matter
and his action in shadowing certain
congressmen by detectives, Tillman
being one of the number.
Tillman protested his own honesty
and pointed to his long record in pub
lic affairs. He said that he had tried
to secure public lands tn Oregon., but
only by honest methods. Having thus
cleared his own name Tillman flayed!
the president in a vltrollc manner.
He said Roosevelt was domineering
and irresponsible, that he called men
liars simply because they refused to
allow him to pervert facts, and that
If Roosevelt were In Europe his acts
would result in his removal from
power. Tillman's remarks were In
terrupted by frequent bursts of ironk
cheers by the senate, while hisses -in
applause alternately burst from the
galleries, which at one time the vlc<
president threatened to clear. J

Released Criminals and
Tougher Element Insti
tute Reign of Terror at
Messina. Soldiers and
Police Shoot Them W ith
out Trial. Relief Pour
ing in.
(United Pre?? T?legraph-C?bl? Servlco.)
MESSINA, Sicily, Jan. 11. ? Despite
the utmost efforts of the police and
soldiery many gouls are looting the
bodies of the dead and robbing- the
ruined houses of the rich and the
down town stores. Seeral murders
have been committed.
Martial law has been in force ever
since the first quake and any one
caught robbing dead bodies, or steal
ing is promptly shot, without even a
trial. Many have been executed in
this manner but the depredations still
continue. As the light system has
been destroyed It Is hard to detect
these crimes after dark.
All prisoners In the Jails were re
leased at the time of the first earth
quake and many desperate characters
were thus loosed on the community.
Relief camps have been established
in all parts of the city and as sup
plies are being rapidly brought In
and much of the destitution that fol
lowed the first days after the destruc
tion of the city Is being relieved.
The scenes of horror still transcend
the imagination, however.
