SOME BUSINESS

Jackson, Miss. April Especial Bare
quorums were found in either house of
the legislature, but good deal of i'm
portant business was transacted during
the day.
The senate voted for the issuance of
a s50O,cOC bond issue, the same to run ten
years and bear 4 per cent, for the pur-
pose of making permanent improvements

fedeIate veterans.

the engineer of the capitol
The house committee on public build
ings reported unfavorably on the bill
to sell the old capitol, and also to pro-
hibt horse racing on grounds belonging
TO the state, the same being aimed at the
State Fair association.
The special committee, named weeks
ago to find who brought whisky into the

fensive prosyletism, which constitutes
real warfare against the Pope and the
Catholic religion Monsignor Falconio,
papal delegate to the United States, today
declared that neither the Pope nor the
cardinals secretary of state was to blame
for the situation. which he declared as
the "intolerable condition created for the
holy see by the Methodists in Rome"
Monsignor Falconio said he knew the
Pope had been looking forward with
pleasure to the meeting of Colonel
Roosevelt. He pointed out the offensive
prosyletism" of the Methodists in Rome
as real warfare against the holy father
and the Catholic religion, adding. as the

THE introduction of the Methodist
church in Rome as a feature in this
episode is gratuitous. Much as they
honor Mr.. Roosevelt our people there
had no desire or purpose to embarrass
him by an invitation that would have
interefered with his wish to call upon
the Pope. We were sure that he would
not insult us in return for such con-

disappointed us.

world than papal assumption and it

himself plainly when the Fairbanks

AUTOMOBILE PLUNGES
INTO LAKE MICHIGAN

Chicago, April An a spectacular
plunge of an automobile into Lake
Michigan tonight two persons were bad
ly injured and three narrowly escaped
drownign. Running around a curve on
what is known as the outer drive along
the waters edge on the north shore,
the machine, occupied by William r.
Gray, the chauffeur, and three 9th err
men, knocked over bench on which
man and women were sitting, and
then, striking a curb stone, turned tur-
tie in mid-air and fell into deep water.
Three of the men in the car were
thrown into the water, but were rescued
uninjured. A fourth escaped the wa
ter by jumping. Herman Hansen and
Miss Anna Carelson, who were sitting
on the bench, were seriously injured,
and were taken to a hospital. Gray
explained that he lost control of the
machine.

Rome April Recommending on Mr.
Roosevelts Cancelled audience with the
pope, the Giornale D'ltalia the organ of
ex-Fremier Sonnino, says that the Incl
dent between the Spanish papal secretary
OF state and the former President who
became so popular in the war against
Spain as colonel, demonstrates that Car
dinal Merry del Walls performance in the
Borgia department viii not augment the
breach between the United States and the
Vatican along cordial lines.
The republican paper Ragione says that
what occurred shows the narrowness of
mind of the papal secretary of state,
while Mr.. Roosevelt admirably main
tanned a decorous dignity. The rude
ness of the Vatican diplomacy" says the
paper, will augment his popularity
among the American people"
The whole Vatican press takes as a
oasis for comment the statement which
appears last evening in the Osservatore
Romano. the official organ of the Vat
lean, which explained that the Vatican
could not risk a repetition of the Fair
banks Incident, sit being notorious to all
Romans and foreigners continues the
paper, what the Methodist churches here
are-the center of all hostility against
the spiritual power of the pontiff in his
own seat, a center from which radiates
all eneoura cement, material and moral,
of a propaganda In Rome favoring apos
tacy and Indictment in every way and
by every means to open rebellion and
war against the church"
Continuing it says:
There was not enough offense against
Mr.. Roosevelt's freedom of action and
presence, as he could freely attend else
where to the duties of his religion, as
Mr.. Roosevelt is not a Methodist. What
We ask is that Mr.. Roosevelt refrain
from placing the authority and prestige
of his name at the service of the very
institution which directs, by calumny and
open rebellion. a disloyal war against the
Catholic church in its own metropolis.
Thus there was no imposition and no
of anybodys liberty but sim
ply the accomplishment and the defense
on the part of the supreme pontiff of
the duties and rights strictly connected
with his own spiritual power"
The Tribuna says the ex-President and
the king discussed several interesting
questions, and that the king secured
from Mr.. Roosevelt his opinion on the
organization of Italian Somaliland, where
he stopped on his way to Mombassa, and
on the question of emigration to Amer

Archbishop IreIand's Comment


st. Paul, April 4.-Archbishop Ireland,
after reading the report from Rome con-
cernlng the Roosevelt incident, made the
following statement to the Associated
Press:
Before passing judgment on the Roose-
welt Incident in Rome, one should be
thoroughly conversant with all attend
ing circumstances, more so, indeed, than
the quick ill-gotten-up dispatches APP
pearing in the morning papers seemingly
permit. OF one thing / am certain-the
Metho dist propaganda in Rome is so vile,
so calumnious in its assaults upon Catho-
lie faith. so dishonest in its methods to
win proselytes, that the holy father, the
supreme guardian of the faith, is COM
PEELED by the vital principles of high of
flee to avert at all cost the slightest
movement on his part that might, di-
rectly OF indirectly, be interpreted as
abetting the propaganda, or approving
even by implication in purpose and tao
tics.
"Since the Fairbanks incident, l have
received from Rome most reliable data,
that more than justify any statement /
have heretofore made, or may at any
other time be prepared to make with re-
gard t, this Methodist propaganda. In
deed, the Methodist minister in Rome

ficient indication of its rancorous spirit
and of the egregious calumunies to which
it resorts.
How far Cardinal Merry del Val had
reason to suspect from the movements of
the Methodists themselves, or otherwise
there was peril lest Mr.. Roosevelt even
unwi.tingly be entangled in their meshes
Il am not in position to say. His
words to the correspondent of the AS
r,.nfa t11
is not he said, a question of religion :"
Mr.. Roosevelt might have gone to an
Episcopalian, Presbyterian or any other
church except the Methodist and deliver
ed AN address there and he could have
been received by the pope even on the
same day.
"Nor did my friend, Mr.. O'Loughlin,
help OF. the situation when the cardi-
nails question, Can you guarantee that
Mr.. Roosevelt will not visit the Metho-
dsts here?' he replied, I cannot. Indeed
l believe that Mr.. Roosevelt is just the
man to go there. He will do as he
poases'
"For my part, / differ with Mr.
O'Loughlin. | believe that, brought face
to face with the situation, Mr.. Roosevelt
would net have addressed the Methodists
He wrote his kilograms in Cairo, away
from the seat of war, and refused to bind
himself to his movements before he was
on the ground. But once in Rome, face
TO face with the situation such as his
quick intuition into negotiations would
soon have revealed it, he would not have
thought of leaving the vatican to repair
to the camp of its foes
THAT is Mr.. Roosevelt, as / think
know him At the same time, / compre-
bend the position from which Cardinal
Merry del Val measured his duty. He had
to be guided by the situation as 1t loom
ed up around him in Rome; by the knowl-
edge he had of local circumstances. He
could take no risk; he was at stake.
And SO he demanded assurances that
whatever was likely to happen, the honor
of the holy see was safeguarded."

Much Interest in France

representative of that paper had with Mr..
Roosevelt a day or two ago, in which,
evidently thinking of the affair, Mr..
Roosevelt extolled religious tolerance.

included ministers of all denominations.
Il have a particular sympathy" said
Mr.. Roosevelt, for those who esteem
that religious faith must be tolerant. 1t
gives a man a dynamic value which be-
comes a benevolent force to him and
others"
Mr.. Roosevelt recalled during the course
OF the interview the visit of M. Tardieu,
foreign editor of the Temps to the United
States, when he dined at the White House
with high and low representatives of all
churches fraternizing with Professionals
and Catholics and Jewish faiths alike.
NJ Tardieu said all cults were gathered
around the board, and he himself de-

with tolerance.

Call at the White House

Washington, April 4.-The coincidence
of call by Cardinal Gibbons at the
White House so closely following the
Roosevelt incident at Rome, occasioned
no little excitement in Washington late
today.
But it developed that the prelate's visit
was the result of an engagement made
week ago. and both President Taft and
the cardinal are authority for the state
ment that '"the incident" was not dis
cussed in any way.
1T is too delicate a matter to discuss -

had troached the matter in any form.

An Unfortunate Incident

Rome, April 4.-The determination of
Mr.. Roosevelt to forge an audience with
Pope Plus, rather than subscribe to the
conditions imposed by the vatican has
created sensation. This unfortunate and
unexpected incident overshadows every
other feature of the distinguished Amer
leans visit to the eternal city
Mr.. Roosevelt sought an audience with
the pontiff through American Amba ssador
Leishman md received a reply that the
holy father would be delighted to receive
him, but the answer was coupled with
an expression of the hope that the au-
dience would not be prevented by such
an regrettable incident as made an audi
ence for former Vice President Fairbanks
impossible. Mr.. Roosevelt stated he could
not accept any stipulation limiting his
freedom of conduct. To the latter mes
sage the vatican made answer that the
audience could not take place excepting
on the understanding first made known
On March 20 Mr. Roosevelt sent to Am
bassador Leishman the following cable.
gram:
Proposed presentation is, of course,
now impossible
Mr.. Roosevelt insists that the Incl
dent be treated as purely personal and
earnestly hopes that it will not give rise
to any bitterness. He appreciates the at
titude of the vatican, but feels that as p
free American citizen he cannot con-
sistently take any action that might be
construed as involving a limitation of the
freedom of his personal conduct. He
made no engagement to address the
Methodists or other religions bodies of
Rome, but at the same time thinks that
he should not make promises as to what
| he will or will not do. 1t would appear
| today that so far as the vatican and Mr..
Roosevelt are concerned the incident is
closed.
Comment of Newspapers
| The news that the former President
had abandoned his proposed visit to the
vatican reached the morning papers very
late but made a deep impression. The
Messagero, an anti-clerical organ alone
comments upon the matter editorially
This paper says:
when the news was spread it was re-
ceived with incredulity, many regarding
| II as a malicious fabrication of the
enemies of the Catholic church, but when
confirmed it produced comment disas-
trous to the vatican. Men of every re-
l.gion daily visit the Pope without first
giving the itinerary of the churches they
visit why should the vatican require
Mr. Roosevelt to ignore the churches of
his own religion during the short stay III
Rome? The incident will not add to the
diplomatic fame of the Pope's advisers.
