Glenn's Case in Roosevelt's Hands
CBv the Associated Press.

Washington, July 22.-Secretary Root
today sent to the President at Oyster
Bay the proceedings and findings in the
court martial cases of Major Edwin f.
Glenn, Fifth Infantry, Lieut.. Julien f..
Gaujot, Tenth Cavalry. and Lieut. Nor
man E. Cook, of the Philippine Scouts.
Glenn was tried on the charge of admin
istering the water cure to natives or per-
mitting it to be done. He was found
guilty and sentenced to one months sus-
pension of duty and fined $50. Lieut..
Cook was charged with giving orders
to kill three Filipino prisoners. The
testimonoy showed that he had given
orders to shoot the prisoners if they at
tempted to escape The Filipino scouts
to whom this order was given thought
it meant to shoot the prisoners. Cook
was acquitted.
In forwarding the cases to the Presi-
dent, the Secretary recommends that the
sentences and findings be approved but
that no other action shall be taken 1t is
not believed that the President, who is
reviewing authority in these cases, will
make any comments such as were deliv-
cred by him in the case of Gen. Smith
and by Gen. Chaffee in the case of Major
Waller. 1t is shown in the evidence and
reports that Major Glenn has performed
excellent service and has done much to

Cardinal Ledochowski is Dead.
(By the Associated PressN

Rome, July 22.-Cardinal Lodochowski,
prefect of the congregation of the propa-
ganda of the Romish church, died this
morning after a long illness. He was
born at Cork, October 30, 1922 and was
the descendant of an illustrious Polish
family.
Cardinal Ladochowski was out driving
as usual yesterday evening. When his
valet entered his room at o'clock this
morning the Cardinal had a sudden para
lytic stroke and succumbed.
1t is thought that Cardinal Vincenso
Vannutelli, Bishop of Palestrina, and
Arch-prie of the Liberian Basilica,
will be appointed prefect of the congre-
cation of the propaganda in succession to
Cardinal LedochowsBi.
The Pope or learning of Cardinal
Ledochowski's death was greatly dis
tressad and exclaimed:
"A valiant fighter for the church and
religion has gone. His memory be
blessed
The pontlff then knelt and prayed for
the recose of the Cardinals soul
With Cardinal Ledochowski's death,
Cardinals San Stefano and Parocchi are
the only surviving cardinals created by
Pope Plus TX.

The Popes Gift Raise a Question.
(By the Associated Press


Washington, July Ex-Governor Taft
has acquainted Secretary Root with the
fact reported in the news dispatches
from Rome that the Pope had rendered
several pretty and appropriate gifts to
himself and the members of his party,
and he has asked whether these can be
lawfully be accepted. II was at once
recognized that the question thus pre-
scented involved some very delicate and
interesting points, principal among them
being possible decision, expressly to
be avoided at this stage in the opinion
of the officials, as to the temporal pow
crs of the Pope. If these were decOra-
tions or gifts of large value, then un-
DER the Constitutional inhibition, they
might not be received without authority
of Congress if the Pope is regarded as
having temporal power, was being a
Prince, potentate or a sovereign. Sec
retary Root has, however, avoided an
unpleasant decision cf this question by
informing Governor Taft that if these
gifts are not of considerable intrinsic
value, and are personal in character,
they may be accepted as mere souvenirs,
in which case the personality of the
giyer need not be matter of official
inquiry. On the other hand, if the gifts
are of exceptional value, which is rot
believed to be the case from the news
paper reports, then they may be deposited
in the Smithsonian Institute in this city.

MED that meeting between him and
Mrs. Latimer in Twenty third street,

was true, he said that he stayed at the
Latimer home two nights after the
shooting, but he did so because none of
Latimer's brothers was able to remain
there.

man she said shot her husband. She said
the intruder wore a mask so that she
could not see his face, therefore she did
not know the color of his eyes,
