 MT. Johnston of Alabama another democratic member of the committee, suggested that if the inquiry was to be as exhaustive as suggested by Mi. Lodge, four years instead of four months, would be necessary.
 MT. Clarke of Arkansas, one of tine democratic members, objected to a re- quest made by MT.

Clark asked to have the subject taken up Monday to which request MT. Lodge acceded

Pope Regrets not Meeting Roosevelt

Rome, April 7.-Some of the prominent ecclesiastics who were received by the Pope today managed to introduce the sub feet of the Roosevelt incident. To these the pontiff expressed the deepest regret that he had been prevented from meet ing and shaking bands with the former President, but he gave utterance to no opinion regarding the negotiations or the deadlock that followed.
 The incident continues to be live topic of popular discussion and is emphasized by what the liberal press calls the new mistake of Cardinal Merry del Val, who had prevented the Choral society of Cologne being received by the Pope be- cause the society visited the Quirinal and sang before the Italian sovereigns, In spite of the fact that every year hundreds of persons are received by King Victor Emmanuel and afterwards admit ted to the presence of his holiness.
 The Messagero today says within a few days Cardinal Merry del Val has shown discourtesies to the most beloved American citizen and to gathering of the most beloved persons of Germany and indirectly to the King of Italy. As long as this young and audacious Spanish car dinal dominates the Leonine city. the Ital- ian liberals must be on their guard
 At the vatican this afternoon it was denied officially that a papal audience had been refused the Germa singers. It was said that the members of the Cologne Choral union had left the city before an audience could be arranged.
 It was added at the vatican that the xequest for an audience by the singers

FLORENCE MAYOR
 DISCUSSES O'NEAL
PORTS CIRCULATED--HE SAYS O'NEAL VOTED AN OPEN BRYAN TICKET IN 1906

Mayor Alexander E. Walker of Florence
 end among the best known of successful
 business men of Col. Emmet O'Neals
 home county. Lauderdale was in Bir-
 mingham yesterday and discussed some of
 the charges that have been circulated.
 T have known Colonel O'Neal p years ''
 he said "Our relations have been very
 close and l know him as few men do
 know him. He is clean, upright and
 sti ong man. The slanderous reports that
 are being circulated about him are false
 In whole and in detail. They are insults to
 him, to his family and to the democratic
 party which has so often honored him and
 will honor him May 2 next.
 T am happy to be in a position to place
 the statement that Colonel O'Neal voted
 for Palmer and Buclzner in the election
 of 1896 in the same category of untruths
 with the other unwarranted statements
 that have been circulated about his per
 sonal character. Colonel ONeal and
 rode to Memphis together the day of the
 election in 1896 to get the election returns.
 While on the train he told me that he
 had voted an open ticket for Bryan. ne ToDOIt IS dlSO DtiuS cllCuldtcu ny the opposition that O'Neal will not carry his home county of Lauderdale. To those of us who know the true situation that
 Is Imaginable in it's absurdity.
 "Lauderdale county gave mapority of
 I90 against the amendment. This was the largest any county in the Eighth con- gressional district rolled up against the amendment. Sixteen out of the 19 beats In the county bave majorities against the amendment. Instead of O'Neal losing his home county he will increase the ma Jority against the amendment to 1000. Ut is, of course, true that Colonel ONeal has strong men fighting him in Lauderdale. He is a strong man him. l self When he is for anything he makes ful man who does things, men get in his way and get hurt. Not all of them are broad, enough to take their medicine like men.
 '"rhe report even goes so far as to say that he will lose in the Florence beat. This is ridiculous. This beat gave a ma jority of .3S for the amendment, but all ready 150 voters in that beat who voted for the amendment have pledged them- ! selves to vote for Colonel O'Neal in the May primaries. This does not look like he Is weak in his home.
 Every one of the seven counties in the Eighth district will give majorlties for Colonel ONeal larger than they gave 1 against the amendment. Two counties out - side that district that I happen to know i will increase their majorities. They are ! Walker and Cullman. I have heard many | nattering reports from other counties of i the state, but what l am telling about the counties of the Eighth district and | cullman and Walker counties, I know to
 be true from personal observation and information

Del VaI Held Responsible

Paris, April 7.-The Matin today as- serts that the treatment of MT. Roosevelt by the vatican meets with disapproval in the highest and most important ec- clesiastical circles, including many mem- bers of the sacred college. who hold Cardinal Merry del Val, not the Pope, re- sponsible. These prelates point out that Mr Roosevelt has always shown the most profound respect for the Catholic church and now that church has offended him.
 The Matin thinks that the adversaries of the papal secretary will seize the in- cident as a weapon with which to break down his authority and prestige.

 Most of tine newspapers this afternoon publish a farewell article on Theodore Roosevelt. The Tribuna says:
 "Mr. Roosevelt, who probably will re- turn to the head of great federation although declaring his wish to be treated in Rome as q private citizen, was greeted as the head of great state. His can celled visit to the Pope had the effect of rendering warmer our greetings to him. '
