CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY QUESTION
Pope Leo Desires That DIR. Shredder
Remain With the University.

Washington, Oct 2O.-Definlte details
became available to-day concerning the
cablegram sent by Cardinal Rampolla,
the desires of Pope Leo concerning the
case of DIR. Shredder, professor of dog
matte theology of the Catholic University
during their present meeting.
The cablegram came to Monsignor Mar
tinelll on Sunday last and gave him def
mite instructions to be communicated to
the board of directors of the university.
Prior to the cable communication, letter
had been received from Cardinal Stein
huber, at Rome stating that the pope had
expressed desire that Monsgnor Shroe-
der should not be removed at the present
time. AS this was not directly from the
vatican, a member of the executive board
of the Catholic University eabled to the
authorities at the vatican for an official
expression of the pope's 8 wishes on the SUBJ
ject, 1t was in response to the inquiry
that the cablegram to Monsignor Martl
nelli was received on Sunday last. The
cable directs the delegate to communicate,
in a delicate manner, to the board of di-
rectors of the university, that the pope de-
sires that no change be made in the status
of DR.. Shredder as professor of the uniVer-
sity at the present time.
The board of directors of the university
assembled in annual session to-day at
Mcmahon hall. Cardinal Gibbons, chan
cellor of the university, wearing his robes
of office, presided. There was full atten-
dance of the board.
The meeting was behind closed doors
and much secrecy was maintained by the
members of the directorate The first
question considered was the financial af-
fairs of the university.
The afternoon meeting lasted from un-
til o'clock, when 1T was announced that
the expected final adjournment to-day had
been deferred and that there would be
another session of the directors at 9:30
o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t was also
stated that a decision had been reached
not to make public any of the details of
the proceedings until tomorrow, as it was
deemed advisable not to have partial
publication. While no official statement
was made that the Schroeder case was be-
fore the board, 1t was understood to have
been the main subject of consideration.
Beside the adjourned meeting of the di-
rectors, tomorrow the annual meeting of
the archbshops begins at 10 O'Clock.

WON'T REOPEN INDIAN MlNTS.
LORD SALISBURY SENDS HIS REPLY
TO AMBASSADOR HAY.

He Says Great Britain Is Not Able to
Reopen the Indian Mints at Pres
ent-DOes Not Recognize the Desir-
ability OF an International None
tary Conference, But VIII Com
slider Any Suggestion From the
United States-Germany's Action
ON BimetaIIism Depends on the Ac-
tiOn of EngInnd-Germany Bitter
Against the DingIey Law.
London. Oct 20-Lord Salisbury to-
night sent to Ambassador Hay the reply
of the British government to the proposals
of the American bimetallio special COM
mission, headed by Senator Wolcott It
is a diplomatic worded note
His lordship says that the government of
Great Britain is not able TO reopen the
Indian mints at present. He regrets the
inability to accede to the proposals of the
American commissioners, Great Britain
having as great an interest In the United
States and France in securing a stable par
exchange for gold and silver and am en-
larged use of silver.
Under the circumstances, continues
Lord Salisbury. the British government
does not see the desirability Of an inter-
national monetary conference, but will be
pleased to consider any other practical
suggestions from the United States.
Lord Salisbury incloses with the note a
copy of the statement of Sir ]. Westland,
head of the financial department of India,
which was under discussion at the meet
ing of the cabinet council last Saturday,
and which takes strong grounds against
the reopening of the India mints.
Senator Wolcott is not In London this
evening.
Ambassador Andrew White came from
Berlin last Saturday. He has avoided
publicity, but has had several conferences
with Senator Wolcott. In the course of
an interview with the correspondent of the
Associated Press Mr.. White said that Ger
many's action as to bmetallism will de-
pend on Englands s.
Discussing the possibility of a tariff
Mr.. White said: Il do not believe that
Germany win inaugurate a tariff war with
the United States. The German press and
many German statesmen have been very
bitter against the Dingley law; but 1 think
they are now beginning to realize that an
increased prosperity win enable the United
States to buy as much as under the lower
tariff"

LUETGERT JURY STILL HANGS.
JUDGE TUTHILL WILL KEEP THEM
UNTIL SATURDAY,

If No Verdict Is Rendered Before.
Jury Said to stand Eleven For
Death and One For AcquittaI--Jn-
rOr Harley Still Holds Of For Ac-
quittal-JurOr HoIRbird said to BE
Weakening and May Vote For
COnvictiOn-CuriO Hunters steal
ing the Furniture From the Court
ROOm-Even the GaveI Has Been
Taken.
Criminal Court Building, Chicago, ILL.,,
Oct. 2O.-At $50 tonight it was announced
from the office of States Attorney Deneen
that there would be no announce
ment of verdict in the Luetgert case be-
fore the opening of court tomorrow MORN
ing.
For time tonight it was rumored that
if the jury had not agreed by tomorrow
it will be discharged as soon as it reports
its inability to reach verdict This, how
ever, is not the case. 1t is the firm de-
termination of Judge Tuthill to keep the
jury until Saturday night or late Sat
urday afternoon before he permits them
to go with a disagreement. He has an
nounced that both state and defendant
have spent so much money
and time, and the case has
been so long and difficult to try,
that he will not consent to the discharge
of the jury until there is absolutely no
hope whatever Of a verdict being reached.
The jury stands about where 1t stood
twenty-four hours ago. Reports vary
from nine for the death penalty to three
for acquttal, to eleven for death and one
for acquittal.
The one Juror holding out for Luetgert
is Harley and, it Is thought, that II he
would change front there would be little
time lost in arriving at verdict. Juror
Holabird is also credited with favoring
the acquttal of the prisoner, but it is
thought he will come around quickly if
Harley could be induced to vote for con-
viction.
The feeling among the jurors who are
in favor of the death penalty is high
against Harley, and they have done some
plain talking to him. At one time this
morning they even sent for Judge Tuthill
to know among other things, il eleven
men could compel one man to vote with
them or if verdict would be valid If
but eleven men signed it. This Is the
incident that gave to the state the idea
that there was but one man standing be-
tween Lnetgert and a death sentence.
1t is rtmored that Judge Tuthill this
morning opened three letters offering
bribes to the jury. This report cannot be
verified.
The court room of Judge Tuthill is the
scene of vandalism which has no parallel
in the annals of sensational trials. Some
of the spectators took advantage of the
absence of bailiffs and Clerk Knoch, and
seized on every portable article of sta
tionery. Sections of the improvised desks
used by newspaper reporters during the
tedious trial were carried off by the NOR
bid crowd.
Judge Tuthill, in the course of his fire.
quent communications with the court
room by telephone inquired after his gav
el and inkstand He said he was particu-
larly anxious to keep both as mementos for
his wife. When ne was told that all the
small articles We're gone, he expressed him
self in vigorous language.
