State Convention lndorses Protective Tariff But is Silent on the
 Payne-Aldrich Bill.

Indianapolis. April 6.-The Republi- can State convention indorsed the principle of protective tariff and reciprocity but. in effect, condemned the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill by not mentioning it.
 We, the Republicans of Indiana, the platform says, declare our de termined support of those great pol icies for the common good developed under Theodore Roosevelt and bearing his name, and we demand that they be given effect in legislation and ad- ministration.
 We recognize that no president in our history ever began his. administra- ton with such universal favor and good will as did William Howard Taft; lew men have entered the presidency with such extraordinary training. We lndorse his administration and pledge to him our support in any efforts to secure the enactment of genuine pro 'ressive legislation"

HE RECEPTION 0FF
COL. ROOSEVELT DECLINES TO RECEIVE THE AMERICAN
 COLONY IN ROBE.
WISHES WERE NOT RESPECTED
The Statement Issued by Pastor of American Methodist Church Caused Intense Annoyance to the Ex-Presi. dent--A Roosevelt Statement.

Rome, April 6.-Mr. Roosevelt is not in his happiest mood. His wish that the Vatican audience incident be re. garded as personal to him had no, been respected, and he was intensely annoyed.
 About the first thing the ex-presi. dent did was to call off the reception to the members of the American col ony which had been set for Wednes- day night. This action can be traced directly 10 the issuance of state ment by Rev. E. NJ. ripple. pastor of the American Methodist church, iL which opportunity was taken for an attack on the Roman church. Mr. Roosevelt does rot purpose to be used by anyone to inc disparagement of anyone else.
 What Tipple Said.
 Mir. ripple called on Mir. Roosevelt and on his departure made public statement in which he lifted the Vatican episode out of the realm of the personal and gave 1t a worldwide significance.
 NIT. Roosevelt has struck a blow for Twentieth Century Christianity" said MT. ripple. The representa-. tiyes of two great republics have been the ones to put the Vatican where it belongs. ' The Vatican is incom- paible with republican principles.
 This is a bitter dose for patriotic Catholics in America to swallow. l wonder how many doses of this sort they will take before revolt Is Cath olcism in America to be American or Romish? If Romish. then every patriotic American should rise to crush it. for Roman Catholicism Is the uncompromising foe of freedom The world advances but the Vatican never"
 A Roosevelt Statement.
 The statement in full was shown to Mir Roosevelt. After reading it he said.
 T had made no arrangements to speak at any church or before any clerical organization in Rome. I have received number of gentlemen of all religions faiths who have called at 2 my rooms or at the American embassy.
 Under the circumstances have requested the American ambassador not to hold the reception which he had intended 10 hold Wednesday night
 As regards all efforts, by whomso- ever made. to bring about and inflame religious animosities because of what has taken place in connection with the Vatican and myself, I can do no more than 10 refer to the emphatic state ments contained in my open letter to Dr. Lyman Abbott. already published. All that l there said I desire to reiterate with my whole power"
 Visited by the King,
 King Victor Emmanuel called on Mir. Roosevelt at the latter's hotel. Some time was spent in an animated conversation.
 Following the chat the king and Mir. Roosevelt entered the motor car in which the king had driven to the hotel and visit was paid to the bar racks of tho cuirassiers, the royal hodyguard. The cuirassiers executed series of maneuvers for the benefit Of the ex-president, who was much pleased
