Attending Anniversary Of
the Capture of Rome
Tomorrow.
fRENeHENEMiES CAUSE
Fear of Revival of Anti.cIeri-
calism Which Has Been
Worked Up.

Rome, Sept. 19.-AnXiety is felt at
the vatican as to the outcome of the
demonstrations tomorrow over the 37th
anniversary of the fall Of temporal
power of the papacy and the capture
of Rome by the Italians.
Every year professions and demon
strations are indulged in, but on this
occasion the event has taken decid.
edly anti-clerical turn, under the in
spiration of the extremist parties. At
the vatican it is feared it may lead to
serious complications, and the general
feeling in vatican circles is the whole
revival of anticlericalism is due to the
direct einiluence of the French enemies
of the papacy, working especially
through Free Masonry. and doing all
in their power to start in the Italian
peninsula an agitation against the
church similar to that in France.
Citizens Deprecate 1t.
Rome citizens in general deprecate
such a campaign and believe extraor-
binary precautions Of the government
will Obviate any serious trouble.

Kellogg said today the records of
the liquidation trustees, which had
been finally furnished by the Stand
ard company, We're being examined by
. the governments counsel that il might
be subpoenaed as a result of develop
ments of the last few days and that
the hearings would likely be prolonged
for some time.
Tilford testified that John D. Rookie
feller owned more than One-fourth o.
the Standard Oil trust. He said he
owned 256,S5i shares out of a tota,
of 972,500 shares of trust certificates
in 1892, that a later assignment was
made transferring to Rockefeller his
proportionate interest and stocks of
the subsidiary companies.
