non-Catholic centers in the city which do not believe in bitterly hostile and offensive manner toward the pope and towards everything that his holiness and all Catholics hold most dear.
 His Objections to Methodsts.
 "The Methodist center in Via II Set. tembfe systematically joins hands with the worst and most anti-clerical and anti-papal elements in Rome, and they do so notoriously and in the most aggressive and insulting manner. MT Roosevelt himself has had mild and limited sample of their attitude in the declaration just published by them which he has felt bound to disavow.
 The Holy See after the unfortunate to fear that MT. Roosevelt unwittingly and in perfect good faith, might be led into showing open sympathy and friendship for this hostile center of az. gression against the Catholic church In the heart of the Catholic world.
 Consequently, when Mr Roosevelt applied indirectly and confidenually for an audience with his holiness, the nope, the wish was courteously ex- pressed that he would avoid being dragged into the objectionable position of appearing to publicly support the offensive campaign against the pope The Roosevelt Incident. "Mr. Roosevelt replied. refusing all conditions or agreements and thus al lowed the possibility of his accomplish. Ing what would be offensive to his hoIi. ness. This was amply confirmed by his own secretary, Mir. O'Laughlin, who, when asked whether, without any formal promise or expressed condition, MT. Roosevelt would. as a matter of fact. not go to the Methodist center in Via II Settembre, replied that he could give no such assurance and that in his opinion MT Roosevelt was just the man to do it.

A Banker Appears.

The testimony before the Specldl grand jury was so pointed that MT. Friend was sent for with instructions to appear at once before the court and before the grand jury and confess his entire connection with bribing Pitts burg councilmen or he would be placed ander arrest and the door to confes- sion closed against him. MT Friend came to the courtroom looking pale as | ghost and when he faced Judge Fraser, nls voice broke and he reeled as if he were falling. Water was given him and after he had recovered he said in a low voice that about two years since he had given Councilman Charles Stewart $500 in his office.
 What was if for?7 said the court
 'Mr. Stewart told me that there was so much fuss over our company getting q bridge across the street at out mills that $500 was necessary to keep the newspapermen quiet, and r."
 That is not the case, your honor," said Councilmen Stewart, taking his stand beside the confessing banker and steel manufacturer. "He knows there was nothing said about newspa- pers, that the money was offered and given for the bank ordinance"
 His Statement False.
 Mir Friend admitted later that he had been mistaken as to the reason for uubfoh tha y,,apax- ruau eyivan IIa cafd however, that the arrangements for paying the money had been started by his father, now dead, and that he had but carried out the wishes of his fath- CT, now dead.
 That, too, is untrue" interloeuted MT. Stewart, with some bitterness. T have no recollection of ever having dealt with Mir J. w. Friend his father. this matter"
 At this juacture Mir Friend became faint again and was given water. Tke court, after asking a few more ques. lions about this one payment of money announced that this would be III for the day, that the examination oi Mr Friend would he continued at a later time Friend had to be supported from the courtroom and placed in his automobile.
 He Got s2o,ooo.
 The appearance of Friend followed closely on the confession of Council man Morris Einstein, of the North Side, who has been admittedly the head of the councilmen on that side of the river Einstein confessed open ly that he had received $20,00O from the Workingmen's Savings and Trus company for pushing the bank ordi nance through. He was to have dis tributed it among other councilmen hut he admitted that he had distrib Ited only s10,000 and kept the othe, $10,000 himself.

BLAMES TARIFF ACT
Senator Stone Discusses Hiqh
Cost of Living.
ATTEMPT TO EVADE ISSUE
Thinks Lodge Resolution Makes for
Whitewash.
SHARE OF WORKERS SMALL
Missouri Senator Asserts Payne
Aldrich Rates Are Much Greater
Than Wage Differences.
HARE OF WORKERS SMALL

Nothing needs whitewashing so much
as the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, is the
opinion of Senator William ]. Stone,
democrat, of Missouri, expressed in the
Senate today.
Cumber resolution for an investigation
of the cost of living was under consid-
GRAFTON, and his arguments were directed
to placing the blame for recent increases
in the prices Of food and clothing upon
the new tariff act
Senator Stone first contrasted the delay
in reporting the Elkins resolution with
the dispatch In bringing in the Lodge
measure. He remarked that there had
been "a vast amount of monkey business
in connection with the consideration Of
the subject Saying he had been
greatly puzzled to know the meaning Of
the method Of proceeding, he declared
that 1t had the complexion of "a pur-
pose to conceal rather than to disclose.
No One Else to Blame.
IF not, why" he asked, did the
republican members of the finance COM
mittee come rushing headlong into this
business and exhibit an overweaning
anxiety to take charge of the proposed
inquiry IL the remarkable Things done
here have given to this business the SIMS
ter aspect of scheme on the part of
certain senators to organize a commit
tee that would start in primarily to hold
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law blameless
for the evils the country complains of,
then the senator from Massachusetts, and
his republican associates on the finance
committee have only themselves to
blame.
rs it the purpose Of the great senators
uYh how to- <I,l-
breach to put the proposed investigation
under the control of senators who were
chiefly instrumental in framing the new
law and most concerned in exempting it
from all responsibility for the higher
prices which have followed it's enact
ment? A deep-laid apprehension to that
effect has been expressed by many news
papers and by many people in different
parts of the country"
Asserting there had been rapid ad-
vancement of prices since the passage
OF the tariff law, he declared that nei-
Their an increase in the demand for food
nor an increase in the gold supply could
explain these advances in so short a
time,

Wage-Earners Not Beneficiaries.

Il do not see how it can be contended,"
he continued, that those artificial con-
ditions, from which the consumers Of the
country are, thank heaven, beginning to
become the impatient sufferers, are chief
ly for the benefit OF American wage-earn-
ers employed in these industries. l as
sert, with the greatest confidence, that
the tariff rates as a rule are far In ex-
cess OF any difference In the labor wage
in America and the chief competing
countries of Europe, and 1 assert with
equal confidence that the chief benefici-
aries of this system are the men who en-
ploy this labor, as the chief sufferers
are the consumers who are the victims of
their monopolies.
II will not contend that the tariff is
the sole cause and excuse for exorbitant
prices, but I do insist that a practically
prohibitive tariff. such as we have, is
at least one Of the chief causes that
make exorbitant prices for human neces-
sites a possibility.
1T may be that trusts and combina-
tons put up the prices; l think they do.
But at the same time / believe the old
contention Is true that a high protective
tariff is the mother of trusts

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 9.-The missing
janitor who is believed by the police to
have murdered his wife Sofia and then
buried her body under the floor in the
basement at 17S West Oath street was
still being sought by the police today.
They said the stoical Finnish girl, Emilya
Sarapuu, had finally broken down after
an eighteen-hour third degree experience
and had admitted that the missing janitor
told her he had murdered his wife. The
man whom they want is looked for in the
Finnish quarter, on the upper East Slue,
or in Brooklyn. One more name has
been added to those under which he has
been known. He is August Anderson,
Johansen, Jansen, Petersen, Thomson,
Tampsen or Otis. Since the woman's body
was dug from the broken plaster and dirt
Monday persons have been found who
have known the thin little Swede in each
Of these various patronymics.
Finnish Girls Statement.
The story Of Johansen, his wife and this
stolid. plump young Finnish girl, as re-
vealed by the girl, is this:
Sofia Jansen, the widow Of man killed
ny dCClucHt III NEW JSISey, HldETleQ JO-
hansen some time ago. He was a janitor
and she did housework. They got along
we'll enough, as far as is known, until
Johansen became janitor Of the tenement
house at 1923 7th avenue about two
months ago. The Sarapuu girl was there,
and, being from the same province as
Johansen. soon found favor with the
other woman's husband. They became
too friendly for Mrs. Johansen and the
husband and wife had frequent quarrels.
Last Thursday, according to the girls
story. Johansen came to her and told her
that his wife had gone to the old country.
He was going to move: would she be
housekeeper for him in his new apart
ments? She was willing and went to
west oath street to help him pack his few
belongings into a van.
The girl had been told q week or SO be-
fore that Mrs. Johansen had received
81, 500 as indemnity for the death of her
first husband. Whether she was a party
to the scheme for its possession is not
part of her story.
Admits the Killing.
She told the police that her man was
nervous Friday and Saturday, particular
ly after hearing that his former employer
in West s4th street had called on him.
This news completely unnerved him and
he told the girl that he had killed his
wife. Monday, few hours before the
finding of the body, he told her that he
was going out and that she had better
look out for herself thereafter Then he
borrowed Sc and made off.
Emilya Sarapuu had more than SIS in
her possession when arrested Monday
On the hypothesis that Johansen had the
$500 of his wife, the police are unable
to understand why he should have bor-
rowed the 81.
After the autopsy held by Coroner's
the death had been caused by fracture of
the skull at the left temple. A Ratchet
could have made the wound.
