THE POPE
WAS PLOTTED AGAINST,
DESPITE DENIALS
THE STORY REITERATED
BY Recognized Roman
Catholic Newspaper.

Rome, March 30.-Despite the off
cial" denials by Cardinal Merry del
Val and other high officials Of the Vat
ican, of the report that an anarchistic
plot against the life of his holiness
had been discovered, there seems to be
much truth In the report. 1t is pointed
so the easiest plan for the officials to
minimize the danger of the situation
and thus keep down the feeling Of
alarm that would arise in the minds
OF the faithful should it be admitted
that there was even the slightest sus-
picion that men existed who could plot
the death or even injury of the head
of the Roman Catholic church. In
connection with the alleged plot the
Rome newspaper, Giornale D'Italia,
makes the following statement:
"A fortnight ago cardinal at the
Vatican received secret Information
from the United States telling of the
discovery by an official of the church OF
an anarchistic plot against the per-
son OF the pope. He at once commu-
nicated with his holiness and laid all
OF his information before him. Pope
Plus minimized the affair but the
cardinal insisted on informing the
Rome prefect of police. who sent a
strong force of secret service men to
guard the entrance to the Vatican.
These men were on duty for time
but as no suspicious persons appeared
most of them were afterwards with
drawn
"A short time later the Italian gov
ernment received important informa-
tion from an Independent source and
also from a former consul to South
American city which was confirmatory
of the first report.
1.-The result is that while the actual
guard at the Vatican has not been
largely increased, the railway stations
are guarded and all strangers are
watched while their credentials are
closely scrutinized'
STORY REITERATED.
London, March 30.-The Rome cor
respondent of the London Daily Chron-
icle, the recognized Roman Catholic
organ of Great Britain, reiterates his
first report of yesterday that at at
tempt was to be made on the life of
the pope by band of anarchists.
He adds that his informant was q
member of the household of his holi-
ness who knew all Of the inside facts
in connection with the matter.

Senator German rather wakened up
the animals in the senate yesterday
%hens he jumped into the administra-
tion for not going on with the post
Office investigation. He brought For
aker TO his feet to champion the cause
Of his party, which seemed to have lost
heart in the housecleaning process. II
is not surprising, however, that Roose-
welt did not care to go on with the mat
ter, as the revelations being made were
of such character that it would not
only hurt individuals but endanger the
success of the party at the polls next
fall.

Colorado Springs, Colo, March 20
Wilkie L. Edwards, prominent club
and society man was arrested tonight

months ago. Mrs. Edwards was di-
vorced when she married Edwards.

port and ,desertion.
The alleged assault of Edwards up
on his wife occurred on Sunday after

young woman friend, it is said, re-
turning home at IL o'clock next morn.
ing A quarrel with her husband en-
sued and she left home, returning
three hours later. The quarrel, so it
is said, was then renewed and she
charges that her husband choked her
almost into insensibihty, threw her on
the floor and kicked her, fracturing
her collar bone and several ribs. Then,
she says, he was about to cut her
throat with carving knife when
neighbors rushed to her rescue

ably sensational charges and counter
charges.

Canton is a normally moral town.
That is, she is not worse than other cit
les OF her size. but did any one ever
stop to figure out what the effect would
be If all the wickedness that goes on
behind closed doors and under the
shadows of midnight darkness could be
thrown upon a canvas and exposed to
the public view? Ialk about divorce
cases and sensations. the air would be
full of them and the courts would have
to work overtime. II is well for the
morals and peace OF the world that ev-
erything is not known.

A paper gets little credit for what il
keeps out Of its columns. Scarcely a
week passes but some knowledge comes
to the reporters that would make rich
reading, yet the facts are suppressed
because of the fact that 1t would do
some one harm or cause suffering.
Where the public welfare is at stake.
these matters are not suppressed, but
often are when there is no pressing
demand for publication. If every story
were suppressed that the people want
kept out Of the papers, the news col
umns would not often be filled. Ey-
cry person who is sued at the law, who
is arrested for crime, or who is caught
kissing another mans wife, would be
willing to pay money to keep the mat
ter out of print, but there is limit.

Some one who wants TO confer a
great favor upon feminine humanity
should invent a skirt fastener in
which the women of the country would
have some faith. With all the recent
appliances, there is not one woman
in ten but what will reach an inquir-
ing hand around behind her every
time she hears some one coming up
in the rear. She is afraid the pesky
thing isn't working right.
