REMARKABLE INTERVIEW In
REPLY TO REVEREND WRIGHT
italian Government Appoints InfideIs
to Professorships in Colleges, Thus
Sowing Seeds Of UnbeIief in Higher
Strata of Society.
Associat2d Press.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 1S.-The dis
establishment of the Catholic church
in Italy within a few years is pre-
dicted by the Reverend Sebastian G.
Messmer, archbishop of Milwaukee, in
an interview made public today.
Everything now points to that
event.. said the bishop. "The govern
ment is distinctly unfriendly to the
church, and the church having no
voice in national matters is powerless
to avert a condition in Italy that will
be but the repetition of the conditions
now obtaining in France"
The bishops statement was called
forth in commenting upon an inter
view given out by Rev. F. H. Wright
in which he predicted the dis-estab
lishment of the church in Italy with
in the next ten years, saying: "The
people are firing of the dominion oi
the church and are drifting into in
fidelity and anarchism."
Commenting on the Reverend
Wright's statement, Bishop Messme
said: "It is true that large proper
tion of the people Of Italy seem to b'
drifting from the church, many o
them into infidelity. This is due tt
the policy of the government in ar
pointing infidels to professorships II
the institutions of learning. Thus in
fidelity is soon sown broadcast anon
the upper classes of society"
another cause of the GROWN
tendency toward infidelity," he sait
sis the fact that a majority of the ri
. ing generation are ignorant ofJtne
) religion. They do not Understand it

Roosevelt stated today that he. would
oppose any bill providing for COM
mission to consider the subject of
amendments. to the Sherman anti
trust laws.
The Merchants Association of New
York, and other business organiza-
tions are sending circular letters
throughout the country, suggesting a

to the next session of congress.
The president takes the position
that congress and the country fully

at this session.
The president favors the Hepburn
bill, which was prepared by the
Civic Federation and is of the opin

that he was sorry to see the strongest
support of the presidents program
coming from Democrats and expressed
surprise that nobody made it point

our unfortunate possession of the
Philippine islands.
Regarding the Democratic fiNbuster.

showed that the people need expect
no relief from the Republicans. He
said that a number of senators had
told him that their purpose. if pos
sible. was, to get through with the
necessary appropriation bills and ad-
journ.

A new FORESTRY BILL
FOR CASS LAKE FOLKS
Congressman Lindberg Eliminates Por-
tons of First Measure Affecting
the Reserve.

Washington, April 29--After an
informal hearing before the house
committee on Indian affairs yester-
day on Senator Clapp's bill to change
the boundary of the Minnesota ma
tional forestery reserve in the vicinity
of Cass Lake and providing for the
opening of several thousands of acres
for settlement, Congressman Lind
berg, who introduced the bill in the
house made this statement which he
subsequently sent to the Commercial
club of Cass Lake:
The judiciary committee decision
that bills for the purchase of the APP
palachian and White mountain for

rule would defeat the present bill to
create a national forest reserve in

vantages but with the same purpose

cure it's PASSAGE"
1t is claimed by some members of
Minnesota delegation that the Cass
Lake bill is now on all tours with the
Appalachian and White mountain
bills. The government already has
a forest reserve in Minnesota and
the proposition to pay the Indians
for the property taken is far differ

take up any other matter, but he

WHEREABOUTS OF The
WALKER BOYS is KNOWN
Disappeared from Near Puposky Mon.
day.-Left Werner on Foot, Going
Toward FOsston.

The mystery surrounding the
disappearance of Arthur and Willie
Walker, aged 10 and Is years, who
left their home near Puposky last
Monday afternoon without giving
any intimation as to where they
were going, has been cleared up
in so far as it relates to their hav-
ing been drowned or that they may
have been killed, as it is believed
that the boys are now alive and well
and are on their way to Dakota by
foot.
The two boys are the sons of A.
P. Walker, who carries the mail on
the Star route between Puposky and
Fowlds and are said to have been
seen late Mondoy afternoon leaving
the railroad at Werner, a station
on the M. R. L. & M. railway and
start westward on the old Fosston
railroad. .....
AS the older of the boys has lived
in Dakota and has said he liked it
out there it is more than likely that
the boys have started for the Flicker
tail' state.
The two boys were first missed
late Monday night when Mr.. Walker
returned home from his mail-carrier
trip and found that the boys we're
not at home and had not been there
for several hours. Mr.. Walker was
considerably alarmed as he presumed
that they might possibly have been
drowned or killed in some manner.
An alarm was given and search
was made with the result that it was
ascertained yesterday that they had
started for the west on foot, and they
will probably be headed off and
brought back to Puposky in a few
days.
