LANDS OF THE FRIARs
Bishop O'Gorman Confers With secre-
tary Root

Bishop OGorman of Sioux Falls cauad
at the War Department yesterday and had
short talk with Secretary Root. While
no statement can be had as to the nature
OF the conversation, it is understood to
have had relation to the present and future
status of the church in the insular posses-
sions OF the United States and particularly
the grave questions which have arisen in
connection with the acquisition by the Phil
lppine government of the lands belonging
to the religious orders
The bishop has nothing to say as to the
extent of his. powers in these matters but
1t is fact that in the face of the existing
vacancy in the post of archbishop of Manila
there is no one else to speak to the author
tiles here upon these questions excent
Bishop OGorman and Monsignor Sbaretti
the latter fresh from the Vatican If there
were an archbishop of Manila the disposi-
t1on OF the authorities would be to deal
with him directly in the matter, inasmuch
as he would be the one person legally en-
powered to transfer title to the friar lands
which are nomnally held in his name R,If
in the absence of such legal custodian at
Manila, it may become necessary for the
United States government to deal with the
Vatican. either directly at Rome through
Gov. Taft, on his return to Manila from
the United States. or here at Washington
through some of the preiates duly author
ized to act. a
Gov Taft is reported to be steadily pro-
crossing towards recovery. He has left
the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati and is
operation undergone by him. at the home
of his brother. He hopes to be able to
start for Manila in the course Of a few
weeks.
