Special BY Unitsd Press Wire.
Rome, April 6:--Colonel Roose-
yelt in leaving Rome tonight wants
to drop out of public view until he
reaches Genoa, April 49, He has re-
quested the journalists to leave the
party temporarily until that time,
There Is sentimental side to it. He
wants to travel with Mrs. Roosevelt
their honeymoon route Of twenty
four years ago along the shores Of
the Mediterranean between Spezie
and Genoa. They will travel the dis
tance in automobile
Roosevelt will meet Clifford Pin
chot at Porto Maurizio. He assured
the correspondents today that neith-
er he nor Pinchot would have any
thing to say after the meeting.
Roosevelt received numerous ca
Diagrams today from American
friends, including many from Catho-
lie priests, approving his stand in
the Vatican controversy. Tonight
the Roosevelts will be the guests of
honor at dinner given by the mu-
nicipality.
Repudiates Methodist Organization.
The chief development in the
Roosevelt-Vatican incident today is
Mr.. Roosevelt's reputation OF an
attempt of the Methodist organiza-
tion here. of which the Rev. DIR. Ber-
nard M. Triple is the head, to inter-
pret his action as an Endorsement Of
it's work.
This reputation took the form of
rn1 lfr.rw of
bers Of the American colony which
was to have been held tonight at the
embassy, and it resulted directly
from the issuance of statement by
Mr., Triple, who is pastor of the
Methodist church here, in which he
severely arraigneu the Roman Cath
olic hierarchy.
Depreoates Religious TuunuIt.
| Mr.. Roosevelt continues to deprecate
In the most vigorous fashion the fierce
religious tumult caused by the Incl.
dent, which he regards as personal to
himself, and continues entirely conf
dent that his countrymen, Catholic as
well as Protestant, when the facts in
the case are clearly and dispassionate-
ly examined, will sustain his position.
When the Vatican statement, liken-
ing the situation to what might occur
in Germany If he visited the Polish
separatists after seeing the emperor,
was called to Mr.. Roosevelt's atten-
ton, he said:
III the German emperor should place
as condition to an audience that
| oh l<,In Z
similar reply. Upon that condition 1
shall be compelled to forego the pleas
ure Of an audience"
Would Not Infiame Aninosities.
AS to the Rev. DIR. Tipple's outbreak
the ex-president said:
II had made no arrangements to
speak at any church or clerical organ
ization in Rome l have received
number of gentlemen of all religious
faiths who have called at my rooms
or at the American embassy.
Under the circumstances / have re-
quested the American ambassador not
to hold the reception which be had In
tended to hold tonight.
"As regards all efforts by whomso-
ever made to bring about and infiame
religious animosities because of what
has occurred in connection with the
Vatican and myself, can do no more
than to refer to the emphatic state
ments contained in my open letter TO
DR.. Lyman Abbott, already published.
All that there said desire to reiter-
ate with my whole power"
criticise Del VaPs Action.
A phase of the situation which is at
tracting more and more attention here
is the open disapproval of the Vati-
cans action expressed by many Catho-
Hes This is not confined to laymen,
but extelds to the hierarchy and even
to the Sacred college itself. Some OF
the cardinals have privately expressed
dissent from action which places the
church in a position in any way hos
tile to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt has received many
messages not only from friends In the
United States indorsing his action, but
from people throughout Europe, many
Of whom he does not know. Hundreds
Of kilograms from both Catholics and
Protestants In America congratulating
him on his stand relative to the condi-
tions imposed by the Vatican have
reached him, and when he returned to
his hotel he found an American priest
now stationed In Rome, who warmly
congratulated him ON what he had
done, saying he believed that Ameri-
