Published Statement of Meth

sentiment of Colonel.
PUBLIC RECEPTION Is
CANCELLED IN CONSEQUENCE
Says Statement Was Unwarranted At
tempt TO Stir up Sectarian Contro-
versy-Ex-P President Greatly Wor-
ried Over Vatican Incident-Spends
Morning as Guest of King on Auto
Ride-Police on Guard.

Rome, April 5.-Angered by the
published statement of DR.. Tipple
head of the Methodist college here,
Roosevelt today called off the public
reception which was planned by the
Methodists.
The Colonel declared the statement
of Triple was an unwarranted attempt
to launch a sectarian controversy.
The statement of DR.. Triple which
caused Roosevelt to cancel the recep-
tion was bitter arraignment of cath
olicism and praise of Roosevelt for re-
fusing 10 visit the Vatican.
While Roosevelt looks upon the
Vatican incident as closed, officially,
i5 is no betrayal of confidence to say
the affair is worrying him more than
any controversy in which he has ever
been involved. He fears his friends
in America will not fully understand
the situation.
Roosevelt, as the guest of King Vic
tor Emmanuel today rode i'm the royal
automobile with the monarch and vis-
tied many of the show places of Rome.
The royal machine was attended by
a dozen policemen mounted on bicy-
cles. by an auto filled with police and
by a train of automobiles containing
the leading officials and correspond
ents. The royal car was simple of de-
sign and could not be compared with
many expensive cars seen daily in
New York. The King wore little in
sigma and the simplicity of the drive
was an especial concession to Roose-
.velt's democracy. The drive lasted
until noon.

GETS RECORD PRICE
FOR RIGHT OF WAY
j., f. SMITH SECURES
$4,000 FROM o. r.. & n.
j. B. Eddy for Railroad Company Pays
Big Sum in Order TO Straighten
Curve in Line-Two Farmers Yet
Hold Out.

Undoubtedly the largest sum OF
money ever paid one man by a rail-
road company for a right of way
across a Umatilla county farm has
been paid ]. E. Smith by the o. r.
& n. company for the right of way
desired across his farm in order to
straighten out the curves in the pres
ent road. The sum for the 40 acres
acquired in travelling the three and
one-half miles of farm was $4,000.
The new route of the road not only
passes directly through the Smith
alfalfa fields, taking 20 acres of land
which he valued at $500 per acre but
1t also passed through his orchard
cut his farm up in bad shape and
otherwise decreased the value of the
place. The Smith farm extends up
and down the river for distance of
nearly four miles and is traversed by
the road this entire distance.
With the making of terms with
Smith, ]. B. Eddy of the right of way
department of the road has practic-
ally secured the right of way for the
proposed changes. Only two farmers
remain to be dealt with. They are
w. c. Estes, against whom suit has
been brought, and George Roberts,
with whom the road has not yet been
able to come to satisfactory terms.
Owing to the fact that the river
valley between this city and Yoakum
is narrow and that in many instances
the new route of the road goes dia-
gonally through the best part of many
of the small farms. the road has been
compelled to pay thousands of dollars
for the right of way. The building
of the road itself will also be very
expensive. Several steel bridges are
To be constructed some expensive
tunnels dug and in some places the
channel of the river is to be changed,
making it one of the most expensive
pieces of road ever built in the north
west. The improvements contemplate
ed between here and Yoakum will
probably exceed by several thousand
dollars the original cost of the road
between these two points.

President Thomas L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America. in
speaking Of the general situation to-
night said:
THE mining situation gives no one
cause for alarm. There is every likli-
hood that the Hooking, the basic dis

in rapid succession with the possible
exception of Eastern Ohio. and Cokes

I'm my opinion. the situation in

up long before the end of April. This
will assist materially in getting Cen

they have not in the meantime reached
an agreement. The Kanawha district
of West Virginia and werern Ken

also true of the bituminous districts
of Indiana, Michigan and Iowa. From

not been in any way alarmed over the

IN THE HANDS OF RECEIVER.
Takes Charge of Affairs OF
Michael c. Simon.

ROCHESTER,. y. Y. Oct. 1O.--George
B. Draper has been appointed receiver
for Michael c. Simon as an individual
and as surviving partner in the whole
sale clothing manufacturing firm Of
Ely Meyer and NJ. c. Simon Rochester
Liabilities are estimated at $750,000 and
assets at 100000.
The appointment of a receiver fol-
lowed the filing, by creditors in Buf-
fallo Saturday, before Judge Hazel, of
the United States District Court. Of a
petition in involuntary bankruptcy.
The firm owned and operated retail
stores in Chicago. Minneapolis, Boston,
Kansas City and st. Paul and holds
the controlling stock in six incorpo-
rated stores in Los Angeles, Louisville,
indianapolis, Atlanta, Ga. Evansville,
Ind. and Birmingham, Ala. The six
incorporated stores are indebted to the
firm, and an attempt was made by the
creditors, including Frank Lequin and
Arnold, of New York city, to involve
the six stores in the proceedings. but
this Mr.. Simon refused to allow.
Creditors will meet in this city on
October 25. 1t is considered likely that
Attorney Draper will be appointed an
cilliary receiver for the five stores
owned by the firm. 1t is the opinion
of some that the firms affairs will be
adjusted before the first creditors
meeting, thus allowing it to continue
business.
