NOT IN THE. Case
NEGRO LAWYERS OBJECT TO
BOSAPARTE'S
Interference in the Matter Ct Pink
Franklin's Appeal to the Supreme

Court
In statement issued Wednesday
from Manning by John Adams. one
OF the nHsro attorneys IN the Pink
Franklin case. It Is denied that Ex-
Attorney General Boaaaparte OF the
United States has aided in the prep
aracion OF the case. The statement
has not been signed or approved By
Jacob Moorer OF Orangeburs. Adams
associate counsel. The following
is the statement that was given out
as the resul. OF the story carried by
the Associated Press with regard to
the Franklin case =
From newspaper reports for the
past month it would appear to the
public that the Franklin case has
been turned over TO e1-Attorney Gen.
erai Bonaparte. Such an impression
is an injustice to the two cofored
lawyers who have run the case for
the last :hree years and should be
corrected.
The only lawyers Of authority ip
this case are John Adams and Jacob
Moorer. and absolutely al! the work
done in the case up TO this time has
been accomplished by them: The
brief filed by Mr.. Bonaparoe IL the
case has not been considered nor seen
by Franklin's lawyers.
From what I can CLEAN from the
papers the race question Is made a
part OF Mr.. Bonaparte's brtef and
this will by no means be allowed In
the case We have not carried this
case to the supreme court IS ne
gro case but as that OF citizen o,
South Carolina.
The brief that has been filed by
John Adams and Jacob Moorer Is .
discussion OF cold principles OF Law
and in no manner seeks sympathy
because Franklin is negro. The
law Is wrong and we say 80.
The premature announcement anc
employment OF Mr. Bonaparte Is th,
work OF a few over hot-headcd Ne
groes Of Philadelphia who have ab
solutely no authority to take an!
step in the work.
IF the Franklin case works an!
credit to the defendant. Franklin
and the negro race 1t will be TIT
work OF two negro lawyers, job,
Adams and Jacob Moorer. II M7
BonapaTte appears in the case It vii
be done after a thorough agreeDen
with the original lawyers and up L
this time we have not agreed 70 any
thing

Should Pull Together.

Faction spirit IS the curse OF many
towns. II causes i'll feeling. divides
the people into hostile camps and ef-
fectualiy prevents progress OF any
kind. Doubtless each faction sin
cerely wants 70 see the place flourish.
but the spirit OF jealousy and oppo-
sitio1 is so keen that whatever one
side Proposes. however good the
proposition itself may be. the other
side is sure to oppose 1t. The one
thing nsedful Is to bury all such Bit
ter and irrational feeling out OF

work with an eye single TO he vel

BISHOPS COMMENT.
Says the Methodists Are Not in This

At Cincinnati. Ohio. Bishops Earl
Cranston and John Vale Walden. Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. COM
mensing SHARPLY on the Vatican's
position regarding Col. Rooseve!t's
abandoned visit Bishop Cranston
said:
1T seems that the Vatican accepts
nothing short Of absolute submission.
including the yielding up OF ones
e~cia privileges and religious and
patriotic fellowshi2s.
..Amer.canism is worth more to
the world than PapaI assumption. and
it is the spirit OF Americans that Is
now again put under ban by the
Pope. No honeyed words for the
public can change that fact The
Methodists are not in this case"
Bishop Walden said that two mon
umental blunders had been commit
ted By the present Pope. He declar-
ed that Pope Leo was far too wise
:, have been guilty of the errors OF
Pope Plus
But" he added. 1T Is not, after
all the Methodist Church which has
its bristles out. but the Roman Cath
Ollie church. The Methodist church
has not been injured in the least.
We are more used to the insults and
attacks OF Rome. perhaps. than any
other denomination. owing to the fact
that We have been active in many
countries which are peculiarly Ro-
man. L, is our success which hos
aroused Rome and made her lif:
her bcistles. II We had not been
successful: II Methodism was not
vital. powerful force where We hava
planted it. We would hear nothing
from Rome"

GIVES Ills VERSION
PAPAL SECRETARY TALKS OF
THE INCIDENT.
Pope Demanded Assurance That the

the documents which the Vatican had
considered confidential. Cardina!
Merry de! Val. Papal .ary o!
State. wishes the entire history OF
the negotiations for the audience.
which the former President sought
OF Pope Plus X to be known. Car
dinal Merry del Val is credited with
the responsibility for the Vatican's
part in the matter. and the following
may be accepted as his version:
Following the exchanges between
Mgr Kennedy and american Ambas-
sador Leishman and Nc. Roosevelt's
decision nc: TO be received under the
terms imposed, John Gallon O'Lough-
lin, who was assistant Secretary Of
State in 1909. and a personal friend
Of Mr Roosevelt. called upon Cardi-
mai Merry del Val. bearing an intro
duction from Mgr Fa!conio, Apostol-
ic delegate in the United States. I'm
mediately after being introduced to
che presence Of the Cardinal Mr..
O'Loughlin said:
~ do not come In the name OF
Mr.. Roosevelt. but On my own ac-
count. as an American Catholic. 49,
Cardinal Merry de! Val said Then
what are We here for. 1t is useless
to discuss the matter. II sou do not
represent Mr.. Roosevelt you canno;
| make any arrangement or speak foE
him
Mr. O'Loughlln replied:
What I consider important is to
tell your en;nence that II the two
dispatches sent by Mgr. Kennedy are
retracted. / can assure you that Mr.
Roosevelt will accept your audience.
Cardinal Merry del Val said.
~ will not discuss Mr.. Roosevelt
right. but give me confidential as
surance that de facto. Mr.. Roosevelt
will not go TO the Methodists anc
the audience will occur"
Mr. O'Loughlin refused to give
this assurance. The Cardinal thel
said:
MFR. Roosevelt is free to go L
the Methodists and do whatever h'
chooses. but the Pont;n is certzinl!
free not to receive man who wouls
claim the right to insult him on th'
day after having been received b.
him or perhaps on the same dsy. as
according to your statement he ma!
leave Rome on The same day Of tn
Papal audience. thus having only be
tween Noon and evening Tuesday Il
which TO see the Methodists.
1T is OF little consequence wheth
er he is a Catholic. Protestant. Is

persons merit the same esteem. Tn
important thing is to be honest an
sincere. So far as the form OF be
lief Is concerned I believe that al
honest people will be always on goo'
