DREDGE F|OGET
SANK At DOCK IN
10 FEET WATER
HAD BEEN LEAKING AND ANOTH-
ER STEAMER WAS TRYING TO
GET ALONGSIDE TO PUMP OUT
WATER WHEN STEAMER SANK.

Settling in ten feet of water, the
dredge Fidget, belonging to Frank
Taylor, yesterday afternoon at
o'clock slowly went to the bottom at
a berth on the west side of Baylen
wharf. The steamer sank just as the
Florida was trying to lash alongside
for the purpose of pumping from the
Fidget lot of water which had leaked
into the latter's hull, making the
Fidget very low in the water. Efforts
will be made at once to get the dredge
from the awkward position in which
she rested last night, and several tugs
may be employed on the job. The
spot where the vessel went down is in
about ten feet of water, right at the
shore line, and the stranded vessel Of
fers no interference to harbor traffic.
The Fidget was built twenty-one
years ago at Bayou Chicago, for and
by the Brent brothers, who were op-
Grating sawmill there at the time
The boat was originally constructed
for inland passenger service, but when
the present owner, Frank Taylor,
bought the vessel. it was converted
into suction dredge, and has done
a great deal of work in the harbor,
chiefly about the wharves and in the
slips. The Fidget had only recently
completed a big job of dredging be-
tween PalafoX and Baylen wharves.
For several days the dredge has done
nothing, and a leak was reported.
The hull continued to get lower in
the water and yesterday the big stern
wheel steamer Florida was engaged
to do some pumping. Just as the big
stern wheel vessel was getting in trim
for the pumping, the Fidget suddenly
began going down and settled at the
stern first, going to the bottom and
resting in an apparently easy position
No one was aboard at the time, it
was stated. The machinery, or a por.
ton Of it, is submerged.
The Fidget's gross tonnage was 81,
the net being just one-half that figure
or Al. She was 81 feet in length, 21
feet wide, and 36 feet in depth.

Rome, April 5.-The chief develop
ment in the Roosevelt-Vatican Incl
dent today was Roosevelts repudia-
tion of an attempt of the Methodist
organization here to interpret his ac-
ton as an endorsement of their
work. The reputation took the form
of calling off a reception to the
American colony, which was schedul-
ed for tomorrow night at the embas-
sy, and it resulted directly from a
statement issued by Rev. Triple, pas
tor of the American Methodist
church, which he severely arraign-
ed the Roman Catholic church.
Roosevelt continues to deprecate in
vigorous fashion the religious tumult
caused by the incident which he re-
CARDS as personal to himself.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not in his happi-
est mood today. His wish that the
Vatican audience incident be regard
ed as personal to him had not been
respected and he was intensely an
noyed
About the first thing that the FORM
er president did was to call off the re-
ception to the members of the Ameri-
can colony, which had been set for
tomorrow night. Mr.. Roosevelt does
not propose to be used by any one
to the disparagement of any one else.
Mr.. Tipple called upon Mr.. Roose-
velt yesterday afternoon and upon his
departure made public a statement
in which he lifted the Vatican episode
out of the realm of personal and
gave it a worldwide significance.
ROOSEVELT SEES STATEMENT.
The statement in full was shown to
Mr. Roosevelt today. when he said: ::
Il had made no arrangements TO
speak at any church or clerical or
ganization in Rome. I have received
number of gentlemen of all religi-
Gus faiths who have called at my
rooms or at the American embassy.
Under the circumstances I have
requested the American ambassador
not to hold the reception which he
had intended to hold Wednesday af-
ternOon.
"As regards all efforts by whomso-
ever made to bring about and infiame
religious animosities because of what
has occurred in connection with the
Varican and myself. | can do no NOR ;
than to refer to the emphatic state
ments contained in my open letter to
DR.. Lyman Abbott, already publish
ed.
"All that I there said, l desire 10
reiterate with my whole power
ARRANGED BY LEISHMANN.
Mr.. Leishmann, the American am
bassador, had arranged the reception
at the American embassy in order
that Mr.. Roosevelt might meet the
Americans in Rome, regardless of
their religious faith, upon the neutral
ground of the embassy. The appear.
ance, however, of Mr.. Tipple's state
ment displeased many American
Catholics, who forthwith manifested
an intention of abandoning their pur-
pose of attending the gathering if the
Methodists of the organization repre-
sented by Mr.. TtDple were to be
present. The matter was carried 10
Mr.. Roosevelt, who, after hearing
both sides, promptly asked Mr.. Leish-
mann to cancel the whole affair. This
was done.

and lieutenant-governo and adopted

only a protective tariff that covers

cies, and the administration of Taft.
Senator Beveridge's record in con-
gress was endorsed.
BEvERIDGE'S SPEECH.
When United States Senator Albert
J. Beveridge, in his speech today, de-
clared his antagonism to the tariff
law passed by the preceding session
of congress, his remarks were mark
ed by storms of applause from the
delegates and the crowded galleries
in Tomlinson hall.
Repeating as a text 81 could not
stand for it then and I cannot stand
for it now," Senator Beveridge made
an impassioned defense of the counts
upon which he had based his vote
in the senate against the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill, which he did not call
by name. -...-. .--.....z.-
In ringing voice he sent his short
sentences through the hall.

THE F[USSER
CLIPPED OFF So
MILES AN HOUR
sWIFTEsT OR TORPEDO BOAT DE-
STROYERS REPORTED LAST
NIGHT TO HAVE ATTAINED AN
AMAZING SPEED.

Undergoing high pressure endurance
trial yesterday, the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Flusser was yesterday report
ed to have attained the amazing boat
speed of thirty-five miles an hour dur
ing the four-hour endurance run in
the gulf While the Flusser was look
ed upon and regarded as the f1eetest
of the torpedo feet, it was stated by
naval men yesterday upon the return
of the boat from the gulf that the
Reid, another Of the destroyers, is
even a faster craft, and figures bear
ing upon the latter's performance dur
ing an endurance trial are awaited
with some interest.
The Flusser has an indicated horse
power of 10000, like all the boats of
the Seventh Torpedo Fleet, and when
the builders turned her over to the
navy department, It was with show
ing of the speed little less than what
was gotten from the boat on her en-
durance run yesterday. When it is
considered that the vessels speed is
quite faster than trains usually operat-
ed over the local L. e N. division,
some idea of how the Flusser travelled
through the water may be family
cleaned.
Naval men were not the only ones
highly interested in the boats par
formance yesterday, and it was the
talk with steamboat men all along the
water front. Many of the tugs in the
bay cannot exceed fourteen knots, or
nearly seventeen land miles, an hour.
The test of several others of the
Heet was held yesterday, but thus far
it was reported that the F1usser Is the
ffeetest yet shaken down. Three OF
the destroyers were In the gulf yester-
day. two of them and the Dixie re-
manning in the harbor anchorage. The
Flusser returned about 4 o'clock.
