WASHINGTON. May 1o.-Criminal
prosecution of both shippers and car

The decision written by Commits

Briefly, the nillingin-transit rate

charge that American Ambassador
Leishman in Rome withheld from
the public vital facts concerning the

day. The bishop demanded, on the
part OF 100000 American Catho-

Bishop Grimes charges that Leish-
man In making public a portion of
his cablegram to Colonel Roosevelt,
which caused all the trouble, with
held the section portion of his mes-
sage, which according to Bishop
Grimes was as follows.
Il merely transmitted his tMgr.

accept the conditions imposed. as the
form appears Objectionable. clearly
indicating that an audience would be
cancelled in case you should take

case of MIR. Fairbanks.
Although fully aware of your in

one side or the other is sure TO make

This message from Mr.. Lefsnman TO
