HTlcAN REFUSES AUDIENCE
WHEN ASKED TO WAIVE
RESTRICTIONS.
VICTOR EMMANUEL GREETs HIM
Queen Helena Grants an Audience to
the Distinguished Visitors, lnclud-
ing Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethel.

Rome, Italy.-The audience which
it was believed Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt would have with the pope
Tuesday, did not take place, owing to
the restrictions which the Viticar
has imposed and winch Mr.. Roosevelt
refused to accept.
Although the definite negotiations
relating to the audience ended before
Mr.. Roosevelt departed from Egypt,
the announcement was withheld I'M
til Mr.. Roosevelt reached Rome, at
the solicitation of his American
Catholic friends here, who believed
that in the meantime the Vitican
might change his mind.
One of the former presidents
American friends who had been with
him in Egypt came to Rome, without
however, any authorization from MI.
Roosevelt and interceded with
Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal
secretary, in an endeavor to avoid a
situation which as it now stands has
caused a real sensation in Rome, al
though it was not entirely uneXpect-
ed, but his efforts were ~unavailirg.
While at Gondokoro in February
last Mr.. Roosevelt wrote to Am
bassador Leishman. saying that he
would be glad of the honor of an
audience with King Victor EN-
manuel and the pope. The audi
ence with the king was promptly ar
ranged. Before an arrangement could
be reached relative to an audience
with the pope several kilograms We're
passed, and the negotiations weree
ended by Mr.. Roosevelt's refusing in
anyway to be limited as to his con
duct, and announcing that the audi
ence with the pope under the circum-
stances was now impossible.
Col, Theodore Roosevelt, who ar
rived in Rome quietly Sunday, was
received in the Quirinal this morn
ing by King Victor Emmanuel. Am
bassador Leishman accompanied the
distinguished American and introduced
him to the king, who talked with the
colonel for some time. Kermit Roose-
welt shared with his father the honor
Of the royal audience, and his
majesty included the young man in
the conversation, being greatly in
terest6d inthe exploits and experien-
ces of the hunting party in Africa.
Monday afternoon the Roosevelt
family, including Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethel, were received by Queen
Helena. This was an especial honor,
for the time of the year in which the
queen grants audiences is now over,
and she made an exception in favor of
the R~oosevelts. Her majesty has al
ways had great admiration for Amer
lea and Americans.
