ROOSEVELT AND

Special Cable Despatch to The New
 York Sunl

l Rome, April 7.-Mr. Roosevelt has 1 ended his visit to Rome and tonight he left the city to calm down after three busy, stormy days. His stay 1 awakened a strange mixture of enthu- 1 siasm and bitterness and will be long | remembered
 | Catholics against him is very acute, but he seems more concerned for the moment to rub it into the Methodists than to emphasize his friction with the the Holy See.
 At Ambassador Leishrnan's reeep- tion this afternoon, talking with the
 rector of the American Protestant
 church in Rome, MT. Roosevelt was heard to say:
 'As soon as I return to America I will do my utmost to have these Meth a disgrace to any religion. Spencer and Clark ought to have repudiated

 that the Vatican was about to issue

 solved itself into the statement pub

 with 8 companion, went free. A year later the police of Providence report,
 Spencer, with another young man and woman, was arrested there as a ske1
 eton key worker and, by being con-
 victed of various daylight robberies, was sentenced to and served one year in the state prison at Cranston, R. I.
 Spencer's latest activities foreign to Springfield before his capture are said by the police of Brattleboro, Vt, to have taken place in that town. Among the loot recovered here after Spencer's arrest for the murder of Miss Black stone were number of articles stolen fro n1residents of Brattleboro. The last break of importance there was when the home A. R. Hyatt was en- tered on Sept. 29, 1909. The lott on that occasion was a chain and bangle with a prayer engraved in miniature characters on the latter. This article was found in Spencer's house here and was believed to have fixed definitely his part in scores of burglaries which have for months kept this portion of the New England states in terror.

coat is the belief of the local police who for weeks have had the brothers under surveillance.
 Clark and Mu1vey were both mem bers of the Lemon gang that sew eral years ago was broken up by the police when nine young men who liv- ed on their wits in the local tender loin were arrested for having no vis- ible means of support and were driven out of town or jailed. Clark's brother, now going under the name of Shelton, is also. said to have figured in the do- ings of the Lemons" who derived their name from a game of pool in which a yellow ball figured prominent ly. With this game they were accus- toned to fleece unsuspecting pool players out of their bank rolls.
 Policemen from Mt. Vernon are ex- pected at police headquarters before night to identify Clark as the man who fled from arrest when Mu1vey was captured. Mulvey only recently com p1eted a sentence of four years in Wethersfield for housebreaking. His picture adorned the local rogues' gall 1ery until a few days ago it was loaned to the Mt. Vernon authorities for the purpose of identifying Mitchell as Mu1vey. S
 The police made a thorough search of the two rooms occupied by the pri- soners but found no evidence to in dicate that their means of livelihood was housebreaking.

CUM MINIS DEFENDED

Editor Herald: Having read your
paper for nearly a year 1 am con-
vinced that you wish to be fair to
every one. In this connection would
article "In re Cummins," published
in your recent issue. Having been in
Iowa during the campaigns to which
Mr.. Barnes refers and having taken
a small part in the same I wish to
say that Mr.. Barnes apparently does
not know Senator Cummins' history.
The fact that Dolliver did or did not
roast CumminS to a brown" at the
rally Barnes claims to have attended,
is Of no moment here, except to in
dicate that Dolliver was of the stand
pat wing of the Republican party in
Iowa at that time and Cummins then,
as now, a progressive of the most pro-
nounced type. Cumrnins, like La Fol
lette of Wisconsin, made his record
in Iowa as a supporter of the peoples
interests, as a result Of which he was
elected governor Of Iowa three times,
following which he was elected sena-
he will continue to hold as long as
Iowa needs a true representative in
the upper national house at Washing
ton.
Iowa and her people never had a
worthier, truer public servant than AL
bert B. Cummins. While yet governor
of Iowa, Cummins recommended GER
tain measures to the legislatures that
assembled at Des Moines during his
terms as governor. His suggestions
were taken up, embodied in bills sub
sequently presented and passed and
made laws in that state, among which
were and are the following:
A two-cent-per-mile passenger fare
law on all railroads in Iowa.
An anti7pass law.
Primary election law.
A law limiting the hours of labor
of railroad employees.
A pure food law.
A pure seed law.
A law prohibiting corporations from
contributing to campaign funds and
candidates for office.
A law prohibiting watered corpora
tion stock in Iowa.
A law requiring sworn statements
of expense from candidates and politi~
cal committees.
Soldiers roster law.
A law requiring banks to pay inter
est on state deposits.
These are some of the things that
hoodwinked" Iowa people and they
are looking for more hoodwinkers with
a view to put them in responsible po-
sitions to serve their interests. They
like Cummins for securing those laws;
they love him for his honesty, energy
and craftsmanship, and they don't
think anything the worse of him be-
cause Dolliver roasted Cummins "to a
brown" In fact they laugh when they
think how Dolliver "flopped' when
he saw Iowa took stock in Cummins
and had no time for any one that tried
to detract from his standing. not that
they love Dolliver less, but Cummins

CHALLENGE TO DEBATE

Editor Herald: In your Sunday issue
1 notice a letter signed Opponent" ,"
from Casa Verdugo, opposing the pres
ent annexation movement of adjacent
territory to Glendale.
The writer of the article shows a
most monumental ignorance of the ar
guments and conditions pro and con.
If he had read or listened to one
fourth of the matter that has been
presented on the subject, the state
ments in his letter would be reduced
to a sentence.
Also like most of the opposition, he
hides his identity under a nom de
plume.
His information on the electric light,
water street and municipal improve
ment questions, appears to be decided
ly meager and likewise erroneous.
1t is apparent that he hasn't taken
a sufficient interest in the movement
to come out in any meeting and eX-
press his opinion. so giving any one a
fair chance to debate the subject with
him.
AS to the ulterior motives he ascribes
to those who are working for annexa-
ton, he should prove his assertions or
retract them, for his statements are
nothing more nor less than vilification.
If he can't put up let him shut up.
To give this man, or any other, a
chance to fight in the open, challenge
him to public debate on the annexation
question, at any time or place, within
the affected territory, that he may
name.

A DEFENSE OF VAUDEVILLE

Editor Herald: Calling your atten-
ton to the inclosed editorial from your
issue of today beg to ask that you re-
read the paragraph marked and note
the injustice therein.
Why, in view of the facts, is it so
often found necessary to refer to some
person of notoriety for whatsoever or
no reason, who may desire to go upon
the stage, that he or she-usually she
is going into vaudeville? Isn't that
a grauitous and wholly undeserved slur
upon the cleanest phase of the amuse-
ment business?
Cavalieri has been upon the stage for
years, but never got into vaudeville.
She has appeared with fewer clothes
than is generally permitted-but never
in vaudeville. Always in opera. Maud
Allan, the nakedest dancer yet seen,
did her stunts, not in vaudeville, any
where, but in Legitimate" theaters-
here, in a theater that is so "clean"
that it will not permit uncensored or
Sunday shows. The same applies to
the other naked dancers. They can
not get into vaudeville. To quote the
words of Martin Beck, I'VE have never
played 'Salome' dancer in an Orpheum
house because we have always tried to
avoid anything that would make it
necessary for a family man to witness
an Orpheum show first and pass upon
it before he would permit his wife and
children to see it. We want it safe
for the most discerning matron to visit
the Orpheum's Monday matinee with
out a blush"
I may add that every Mondays open
ing show is witnessed in it's entirety
by Mr.. Drown, myself and others, who
watch every word, line and action.
And things that are even tolerated
elsewhere are excised with fear or
favor if Mr.. Drown considers them the
least bit risque-and every performer
knows it. You never saw an easiest
Way" at an Orpheum-nor a paid in
Full" great as both Of them are-for
some people.
Cavalieri will again be seen on the
stage-but not at the Orpheum, unless
she wear. far more clothes than your
own pictures show her in. And, by the
way, why not aid the Orpheum in
maintaining a high moral standard by
using some censorship over those same
photographs? 1t might help more than
throwing mud at vaudeville"

THE BLACK DEATH

NT r. HEARST'S papers, having re-
M covered from their attack of
III epilepsy that was brought on
by the naughty proposal of some other
parties to reproduce on a screen the
prize fight incidents Mr.. Hearst pic
tured in the public street with boys
stripped to the waist, are now keeping
us posted on matters pugilistic, in en-
tertaining style.
We are informed that one Samuel
Langford, the "Black Death" of the
ring, is out with a sweeping challenge
to the world to a debate with the reg
ulation weight gloves on his merits as
a claimant to the championship belt.
Notwithstanding the horror with which
Mr.. Hearst looks upon motion pictures
of prize fights, he finds it consistent
to give the news of the "Black
Deaths" def to the extent of good
part of a column under heavy head
line.
The moral distinction seems to be
that the news of a proposed fight is
important and proper, the fight is all
right, the printing of newspaper ac-
counts and photographs from the ring
sile quite decent and necessary, and
the staging of young manikins in the
public street to reproduce the fight
praiseworthy, but the exhibition of mo-
ton pictures within an inclosure is
wicked, debasing, altogether dread
full
When the "Black Death" and Jack
Johnson meet don't fail to be on hand
early for a good viewpoint for the
staged reproduction in front of the
Examiner office. Next morning don't
fail to see the photographs in print
that were brought down at great ex-
pense from the ring by special train.
And then, good ladies' get your pens
ready for testimonials to the Hearst
papers when they open their holy war
ON the scalawags who bring the de-
grading (but same) photographs to
town to show on screen.
