THE PATHETIC
AFTERMATH
Missionary Died Twenty -Four
Hours After Conference
With Roosevelt

Gondokoro, Sudan, April 4.-One OF
the most pathetic incidents connected
with the visit of Col. Roosevelt to
Africa was the death of Rev. DR.
Roderic Prosch. French missionary
who was returning home to end his
days in peach. DR.. Prosch was the
guest ut Col. Roosevelt at luncheon
March apparently in good health,
but the next day he was dead.
The steamer Dal with the Roosevelt
party aboard, had left Gondokoro
which probably Is the most uninterest-
ing, hot and dusty place in all the
land. A natice came running down
the street saying that his master was
dying. A physician answered the call
In haste. He found Dr. Prosch lying
In his tent. and bled the missionary
as the only means of saving his life,
but he was too late.
This was the ending to ten and one
half years of missionary work in the
unhealthy Zambesi country of north.

funeral were made and at sunset eight
native policemen carried the body to
Its resting place under the shade of
the tree where his tent had stood. A
rough coffin was made of packing
cases and blanket was wrapped
around the form. At the head Of the
procession on the march to the grave

BElER|DGE WANTS
TO FIGHT IT OUT
Leaders Seeking to Avoid a
Contest in Convention Over
Tariff Law

indianapolis. April 4.-To prevent
contest on the floor of the Indiana
Republican convention to be held in
this city tomorrow, over the adoption
of a plan in the platform endorsing
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, confer
ences were held here today by the
leaders of the party.
United States Senator Albert j.
Beveridge, who voted against the tar
iff measure and who Is a candidate
for reelection next year, was oppos-
ed, 1t is said, to the convention en-
dorsing the law, but he and his sup
porters are in favor of adopting reso-
lutions declaring in favor Of, the prin-
ciple of protection, that being as far
as they care to go.
1t is authoritively stated that
they will carry into the convention If
necessary their fight against a reso-
luton endorsing the Payne-Aldrich
measure. To prevent such an ex-
posure Of factional division in the
party, which it is feared would have
an i'll effect upon the fortunes of the
candidates in the state election next
November, the Republican leaders
generally are disposed to avoid. in the
convention any discussion of the
Payne-Aldrich law.
Yet there are several influential
leaders that not only believe that Mr..
Taft's administration should be en-
dorsed, but that the Payne-Aldrich
bill also should be,

RECIPROCITY
WITH CANADA:
Meeting Of Representatives of
the Two Governments to
Take Place Soon

Washington. April 4.-Within two
months, according to the present
plans of the administration, there
will be gathering in Washington or
Ottawa. just which capital, has not
yet been determined. of representa-
tives of the American and Canadian
governments for the purpose of ne
gotiating reciprocity and trade
tIeaty between the two countries.
The felicitious exchanges between
Secretary Knox and Minister Fielding
of Canada. which concluded the re-
cent tariff agreement. contained an
implied promise that the effort would
be made to reach an understanding
on board lines that might settle, for
all time, the various open issues re-
garding the land and water boun-
daries; the fishing, the preservation
of the seals, and finally the tariff re-
lations.
Most of these matters are Of con-
cern purely to the two principals, but
the developments in the negotiations
relative to the tariff are awaited with
the greatest interest by nearly all Of
the European powers, which may be
depended upon to make instant de-
mand for any concessions of special
value that may be made by the Unit
ed States to Canada, or vice versa.
AS the extensions of the conces-
sions to all nations would result in
making them practically valueless to
the two countries involved in the
negotiations. it begins to appear that
the president and Sir Wilfrid Lauri-
er will be obliged to devise some
strong arguments on which to base
refusal of the concessions to third
parties.
The task will be made the more
difficult from the reason that the Ger
man and French tariff arrangements
contain provisions that they shall be
terminable within periods of three
months, and that they are based up-
on the understanding that no other
country shall be accorded tariff rates
lower than those set out in the agree
ments. .....
Just how a reciprocity treaty can
be framed with Canada that will
avoid the objection that it does give
Canada preference is the problem that
the tariff expert board soon Will have
to face.

there was no one of those who gath.
cred at the grave of the same religion
as DR.. Prosch, and curiously enough
all the whites were aCtholics. One
of the newspaper correspondents con-
sented to reach the Church of England
burial service. Only the previous day
at lunch DIR. Prosch and Col. Roose-
welt had discussed the question OF
agreed that there should be no in
Prosch should be buried by Roman
Catholics twenty-four hours later. al
though he himself was Lutheran.
This death and the fact that almost
every one else had suffered from
malarial fever served again to call
particular attention to the marvellous
health which Col. Roosevelt and his
son enjoyed throughout the eXpedi-
ton. They did not have one days
illness, while number of the party
were attacked several times. 1t is
not many men who could have gone
through the experiences which they
encountered in this unhealthy country
and yet have remained immune to
sickness.
The achievements of Col. Roosevelt
and Kermit have been remarkable.
They have shot nearly 500 large man,

NOMo, AprlI 4-Ine determination
Of Col. Roosevelt to forego an au.
dience with Pope Plus rather thar
subscribe to the conditions imposed
by the vatican has created a sensa.
ton. This unfortunate and unexpect.
ed incident overshadows every othe,
feature Of the distinguished Ameri.
cans visit to the eternal city. Roose.
velt sought an audience with the pom.
tin through American Ambassador
l1eishman and received reply tina,
the holy father would be delighted tc
receive him, but the answer was cou.
pied with an expression of the hope
that the audience would not be pre-.
vented by such regrettable incident
as made an audience for former Vice
President Fairbanks impossible.
Roosevelt in turn stated that he could
not accept any stipulation limiting his
freedom of conduct. To the latter
message the vatican made the answer
that the audience could not take place
excepting on the understanding first
made known. On March 20 Roosevelt
sent to Ambassador Leishman the fol.
lowing cablegram:
Proposed presentation is of course
now impossible"
Roosevelt insists that the inciden,
be treated as purely personal and ear.
nestly hopes that it will not give rise
to any bitterness. He appreciates the
attitude of the vatican but feels that
as a free American citizen he cannot
consistently take any action that might
be construed as involving a Limitation
OF the freedom Of his personal con.
duct. He had made no engagements
to address the Methodists or other re.
ligious bodies of Rome, but at the
same time thinks that he should no,
make promises as to what he will OF
will not do. 1t would appear today
that, so far as the vatican and Roose.
velt are concerned, the incident is
closed.
The news that Col. Roosevelt had
abandoned his proposed visit to the
vatican reached morning papers late but
made profound impression. The
Messagero, an anti-clerical organ
alone comments editorially on the mat.
ter. It says:
"When the news was spread It war
received with incredulity, many re.
garding 1t as malicious fabrication
of the enemies of the Catholic church
but when confirmed it produced COM
ment disastrous to the vatican. Men
OF every religion daily visit the pope
without first giving the itinerary OF
the churches they intend to visit. Why
should the vatican require Col. Roose
velt to ignore the churches of his
own religion during his short stay in
Rome? The incident will not add to
the diplomatic fame of the pope's ad-
visors. Roosevelt as the head of the
great American republic, followed the
principles enunciated by Premier Luz
zatti as free church under a SOW
ereign state"
The Messagero places the RESPONSE
bility for what 1t terms blunder on
the pope's entourage, continuing:
For it was blunder to ask a GER
tificate of acceptability from man
illustrious everywhere for his intelli-
gence and nobleness of life. The lib
erty which Roosevelt is defending for
all he could not renounce for himself"

TAFT IN DOUBT

Position of Former President
Toward His Successor Is
Matter of Concern

Washington, April 4.-Presiden,
Taft is in doubt as to the attitude Of
Theodore Roosevelt. his predecessor

Roosevelt is not depending upon the
chance meetings with Americans
newspaper men or others, for in.
formation as to the attitude of his
successor toward the problems. beset-
ting the executive These two SEN
tences comprise the substance Of q
report current in Washington today
This report, to state directly, was
that while there may have been nc

Received b. King Victor.

King Victor Emmanuel received Col.
Roosevelt at the ,Quirlnal today. The
occasion afforded Fan opportunity for
another exhibition of the admiration
of the public for the former president
and the popular interest in his every
movement. 3
The hour of his reception being
known. considerable, number of per-
sons gathered to greet him on his way
from the hotel to the royal palace. AS
he was alighting from his carriage
at the quirinal the.cruassiers forming
the bodyguard of the king gave him q
military salute. A footman in blue
velvet knickerb6ckers and red coat
covered with gold lace preceded Col.
Roosevelt to the antechamber of his
majesty. where he was received by
Rear Admiral Carelli. the aide on duty,
Count Tozzoni and Duke Cito. mas

erwards the distinguished guest was
escorted to the door of the kings
apartment. which when thrown open
revealed his majesty. standing with
arms outstretched and with a smile
upon his lips. His majesty wore the
uniform Of general of the Italian
army. His words Ofswelcome, spoken
in excellent English, were cordial.
King Victor and: Roosevelt shook
hands heartily, the monarch inviting
the former president to sit at his side.
The door of the apartment was then
closed and the two remained in pri-
vate conversation for about three
quarters of an hour.
Following the audience Col. Roose-
velt said that the king had been SO
gracious and flattering both to him
personally and to his country that he
felt that he should not make public
anything concerning their conversa-
tiOn.
From the quirinal, Col. Roosevelt
drove to Parthentn. Beyond the
charm of its ancient memorit this

Of their chief. 7., ---se---=-..... ..--.-
I Although measures had been taken
by the police to prevent a large gath
ering inside the railroad station at
the time of the arrival of the Roose-
welt party, many Americans and prom
inent Italians managed to find way
to circumventl these precautions. and
the depot was filled when the former
president made his appearance at the
door of the car.
Col. Roosevelt was greeted by Mayor
Nathan and Signor Bollati, director
general of the Italian foreign office,
Ambassador Leishman and the other
members of the American embassy.
A detachment of carabineers and a
large force Of police made a pathway
from the train to the royal waiting
room. the king having ordered that
the former president should be given
the same honors as the members of
royal families when they visit the
italian capital.
Col. Roosevelt smilingly responded
to the warm greetings with which he
was received on all sides. and he
shook bands with many of those
about him. The streets to the hotel
