PRESIDENT CANCELS HIS
VISIT TO INDIANAPOLIS.
Action of Republican Convention
Is Reason. Is Report.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-President
Taft has cancelled his engagement to
visit Indianapolis on May 5. While
no statement has been issued in regard
to this decision, it is believed to be
the direct result of the events at the
Indiana State Republican convention
yesterday.
1t is not even admitted at the White
House that the President had a definite
engagement to visit Indianapolis, al
though dispatches from that city sew
eral days ago announced that the Pres
ident would be there from 2:15 p. m.
until midnight of May 5.
In view of the circumstances sur
rounding yesterdays convention of the
Indiana Republicans, it was said by
friends of the administration today
that if the President spoke at Indian.
apolis at all he would more than likely
feel compelled to express again his
well-known views regarding the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. 1t was argued
that If the President should do this u
might be interpreted adversely to SEM
tor Beveridge and, rather tina be pu'
in that attitude, the President will give
Indiana a wide berth in his forthcom'
ing visit to the Middle West.
No matter what Senator Beveridges
attitude toward the administration may
be-and the President told several oil
his callers today. it is said, that he
had no doubt in his own mind on that
subject-he did not care to be drawn
into the Indiana fight in any way.

TRUCE DECLARED IN SIEGE
TO ALLOW WIDOW TO WE'D
Constables Agree Not to Serve Warrant on Woman in Con-
tempt of Court Until After Ceremony.

he allowed that he had plenty of time
and would arrest her afterward. SO he
waited.
Further, Mrs. Whittemore was to be
locked up, Overmiller declared in the
shank of the evening. She was to re-
main in Jail until tomorrow morning,
when she could explain to Judge Nal
colin MacLear, of the First District
Court, why she should not be adjudged
in contempt for failure to appear when
summoned by that tribunal.
Mrs. Whittemore's legal difficulties,
which eliminated in yesterdays siege,
commenced last fall, when the Siegel-
Cooper Company, of New York, brought
suit against her in the First District
Court for s139, the amount of an alleged
unpaid account Judgment was OBJ
tanned by the firm and an execution
returned unsatisfied. The firm then
started supplementary proceedings
through its counsel, George H. Pierce,
of this city. It is alleged that Mrs.
Whittemore disregarded the summons
requiring her to appear in this action
1t is said that she claimed that the
m had not been served upon her,
but upon her sister, and that she did
not recognize them.

CARDINALS VERSION OF
ROOSEVELT INCIDENT,

CINCINNATI, April 6.-In a special
cablegram to the Cincinnati Times
Star today from Rome. Cardinal Merry
del Val, through Thomas Kennedy, rec
tor of the American College in Rome,
gives the following version of the
Roosevelt Vatican incident:
"When all Is said and done 1t was a
question of common courtesy. The Holy
See did not impose upon Mr.. Roosevelt,
as has wrongly been asserted, the con
dition of not approaching Methodists or
other non-Catholic religious bodies in
Rome. There are several non-Catholie
centres in this city, which do not be-
have in a bitterly. hostile and offensive
manner toward the Pope and toward
everything that his holiness and all
Catholics hold most dear.
1.-THE Methodist centre in Via Xxx
| Settembre systematically joins hands
with the worst and most anti-clerica
and anti-Papal elements in, the city,
and they do SO VIGOROUSLY and in the
most aggressive and insulting name
Mr.. Roosevelt himself a had a mild
and limited sample of their attitude IN
the declaration just published by them
and which he has felt bound to disavow
1.-THE Holy See, after the unfortunate
Fairbanks incident, had every reason
to fear that Mr.. Roosevelt unwittingly
and in perfect good faith might be led
into showing open sympathy and
friendship for this hostile centre of ag-
erosion against the Catholic Church
hin the heart of the Catholic world. Con-
%sequently when Mr.. Roosevelt applied
indirectly and confdentially for an au-
dience with his holiness. h Pope, the
wish a ,courteously expressed that he
would avoid being dragged into the oil
1~ectionable position Of appearing pub

WAUKEE SOCIALIST

P%atternmaker Receives Plurali'

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 6.-Emil
Seidl, a patternmaker who works at

man-at-large, has been elected head
of the city administration by a plural
ity over the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates of nearly { .. This
is the biggest plurality ever given a

tickets. With the Socialist victory in
the city administration comes a Social
Democratic Council. The Socialists
have elected all six aldermen-at-large.
with many of their ticket in the vari-
Gus wards. Even the judicial contest
was all but a Socialist victory. Kleist,
the Socialist candidate for circuit
judge, led the two n~on-partisan can"
didates in the city by a few hundred,
but the suburbs are SO strongly anti
Socialist that Franz Eschweiter will
be the choice.

A truce has been declared in the
siege by constables of the home of Mrs.
Susan /. Whittemore. 265 Halstead
street, East Orange, long enough to
permit her wedding to take place this
afternoon.
Thomas J.. Mclaughlin found today
that his experience as a former alder
man of Newark stood him in good
stead, as he got to work on the legal
end Of the case and obtained a promise
to call off the hounds of the law long
enough for him to go to the widows
home and be married.
Tom, you are a DEAR" h fair widow
said, as the prospective bridegroom, all
dolled up, called at her home early this
morning and the c~onstabless skunk around
the corner. The smile of the widow
changed to a frown, however, as two
prying neWspaperrnen trooped up the
stoop and she slammed the door with a
bang.
1t is said that the widow was fearful
within the house when the bridegroom
said that the price for calling off the
| c%onstables was his solemn promise that
the first stop in their honeymoon would
be the First District Court, where all
the trouble FOR the about-to-be-marrled
couple had it's inception. There a war
rant for the arrest of Mrs. Whittemore
was issued in contempt proceedings.
To Abram S. Overmiller, the big SER
| eeant-at-arms of the East Orange Dis
trict Court. and two assistants, was
entrusted the task of serving the war
rant last night. Overmiller and his
aides approached the house cautiously
and discreetly.
rs Mrs. Whittemore at homer" he
asked of the woman who answered his
ring at the door bell.
Overmiller didn't pass h inspection
of the woman behind the latticed door
She sized him up right at the start
Her answer was to press a button that
locked the door and asked his business
1t didn't go. The woma had spotted
OvermiIler as a process-server, and his
reply, whatever it was, didn't allay her
suspicious. So he remained outside
looking in. Mrs. Whittemore and her
sister remained in and locke out. DC
c~asionally they invited an interview
through the latticed door. Meantime
they snapped the catches on the win
dows and piled a few articles of bric-a-
brac, including a piano, against them.
Morning, high noon-the. last Mgr
noon before the one scheduled for the
wedding--and evening were spent in
waiting. After dinner Mr.. Mclaughlin
appeared on the scene. He entered the
house, and reappeared on the porch
shortly ~afterward. Then followed ar
interview between Mclaughlin and
Overmiller. Overmiller wouldn't dis
cuss it afterWard, but continued the
siege. He had instructions, he said, to
arrest Mrs. Whittemore. before or after
her marriage. He was told, he said
not to break in the dbor. If he
! couldn't arrest her before the wedding

CHICAGO DEMOCRATS IN
CONTROL OF THE COUNCIL.

CHICAGO, April 6.-In the alder
elections yesterday the Demo-
Gratis returned twenty-one out of thirty
five members, giving them a majority
of six in a body of seventy members.
1t is a reputation of the Mayor
Busse administration. which has become
involved in all kinds of graft scandals.
1t is a rebuke also to Governor Deneen,
who lost three of his four wards, all of
which were formerly Republican. -
In addition to local issues Colonel
James Hamilton Lewis and former
Mayor Edward F. Dunno injected ma
ional issues into the campaign. Both
assaulted the tariff and the high cost
of living. and told the voters that even
in a municipal election they could re-
buke the Republican administration.

ncly to support the. offensive campaign
against the Pope in his own residence.
Mr., Roosevelt replied, refusing all
conditions or agreements, and thus al
lowed the possibility of his accomplish
ingw what would be offensive to his holt
ness.
This was amply confirmed by his
own secretary, Mr.. O'Laughlin, who,
when asked whether without any for
NAL promise>or expressed condition, Mr..
Roosevelt would, as a matter Of fact,
not go to the Methodist entire in Via
AA Settembre, replied that he could
give no such assurance and that in his
opinion Mr.. Roosevelt vas just the man
to do it.
Tn view of this attitude the au-
dienee became impossible.
1T is simply a question of common
courtesy, and surely common courtesy
is not incompatible with the rights and
freedom of an American citizen"

as an excuse for urging reconsideration
the word be passed that the bill is 10

Bile, in view of the defeat of the bill by
such a decisive vote, that any interests
would have the assurance to attempt

mentary expedient of a reconsideration.
While the defeated lobby grumbles ana
