THREE GOOD BALL
GAMES
SPOKANE INDIANS WILL DIVIDE
FORCES TODAY, THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY AND SPECTATORS
WILL SEE GOOD GAMES.

Today, tomorrow and Friday there
will be good games at the ball park.
The Spokane Indians will divide
forces and the two teams will be
secured from the rs men now here
in town and the contests will be ex-
citing ones. Messrs. Gehr and Sche-
BILE canvassed among the business
men today to ascertain whether or
not it could be possible to have the
business houses close up for one day,
in order that the attendance could
be swelled. The management of the
ball park has gone to a great deal
of expense in order to get the In
dams here and without the crowds
increase during the coming three
days there is going to be big def
cit and it is to this end that the
business men are asked to close up
their places of business during one
afternoon this week.
The Spokane Indians will leave
Saturday for Spokane and on Satur-

P'OPEEXP[A|NS
VATICAN
INCIDENT
DENIES THAT HE IMPOSED CON-
DITION OF NOT VISITING
OTHER RELIGIOUS. BODIES
METHODISTS ARE WORST.

Cincinnati, O., April 6.-In a
cablegram to the Cincinnati Times
Star today, Cardinal Merry Del Val
through Thomas Kennedy, rector OF
the American college in Rome, gives
the following version on the Roose-
velt-Vatican incident.
when all is said and done, it was
a question of common courtesy. The
Holy See did not impose on Roose-
welt, as has been wrongly asserted
the condition of not approaching the
Methodists or other non-Catholic re-
ligious bodies in Rome. There are
several non-Catholic centers in the
city which do not behave in a bit
terly hostile and offensive manner
toward the pope and toward every
thing that his holiness and all Catho-
lies hold most dear.
'The Methodist center, systematic
ally joins hands with the worst and
most anti-clerical and anti-papal ele-
ment in Rome and they do so no
toriousiy and in a most aggressive
and insulting manner. Roosevelt
himself had a mild and limited sam
pie of their attitude in the declara-
tion just published by them and
which he has felt bound to disavow
''The Holy See, after the unfortu'
nate Fairbanks incident, had every
reason to believe that Mr.. Roose-
Welt might unwittingly and in perfect
good faith be led into showing open
sympathy and friendship for this
hostile center of aggression against
the Catholic church in the heart Of
the Catholic world. Consequently
when Roosevelt applied indirectly
and confidentially for an audience
with his holiness the wish was cour'
teously expressed that he would
avoid being drawn into the objec'
tionable position of appearing pub
licly to support the offensive com
paign against the pope.
Roosevelt replied, refusing al
conditions or agreements and thus
prevented the possibility of his &C
complishing what would be offens
i've to his holiness. This was amply
confirmed by his own secretary, Mr.
O'Loughlin, who, when asked whe
Their without any formal promise OF
expressed condition Mr.. Roosevelt
would as a matter of fact not go t.
the Methodists, replied that he coult
give no such assurance.
"In view Of this attitude this audi
ence became impossible"

Indianapolis, Ind, April 6.-Re-
publicans of Indiana in their conven-
ton yesterday inaugurated the po-
litical campaign of 1910 by the Sc
lection of a state ticket, with the ex-
ception of governor and lieutenant
governor, and adopted a platform in
dorsing protective tariff, tariff
commission, conservation of natural
resources, the Roosevelt policies and
the administration of President Taft.
Senator Beveridge's record in con-
gress was also enthusiastically in
dorsed. No mention was made Of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. which Mr..
Beverage voted against in the SEN
ate.
There were few contests for places
on the ticket, and a number of the
candidates were nominated by accla-
nation.
When George A. Cunningham, of
Evansville permanent CHAIRMAN OF
the convention, at the close Of Sena-
tor Beveridge's speech, called for the
report of the committee on resolu-
tons and 1t was read, the chairman
at once quickly put the question of
the adoption OF the report, and on
an aye and nay vote, the motion was
carried by good majority, although
there was a chorus Of noes" from
different parts of the hall.
The question of Endorsement OF the
county option law, passed by repub-
lican legislature, provoked debate
on the floor of the convention, but the
platform submitted contained no
mention of the option law.

Tuft Is Provoked at Indiana
HAS CANCELLED ENGAGEMENT
TO VISIT INDIANAPOLIS MAY
S ON ACCOUNT OF ATTITUDE
OF REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Washington, April 6.-President
Taft today cancelled his engagement
TO visit Indianapolis on May S. While
no statement has been issued yet it
is believed to be a direct result of
events in the Indiana state republi-
can convention yesterday. This con-
vention was an unqualified endorse
ment of the policies of Theodore
Roosevelt and might be taken as a
refusal of an endorsement of Taft.
1t is not admitted at the White
House that the president had def
mite engagement to visit Indianapolis
although dispatches to that city sew
eral days ago announced that the
president would be there from ais
p. m. until midnight, May 5. In
view OF the circumstances surround
ing the Indiana republican conven-
ton yesterday, it was said by friends
Of the administration today that II
the president spoke at Indianapolis
at all he would more than likely ex-
press again his we'll known views on
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. It was
argued that II the president should
do this 1t might be interpreted as adj
versely to Senator Beveridge. Rath-
er than be put in that attitude the
president will give Indiana a wide
berth in the forthcoming visit to the
middle west.
1t was said at the White House to-
day that the presidents trip west,
which begins April 20, will probably
be curtailed several days and it was
intimated that this is probably res
ponsible for the failure to visit Indi-
annapolis.
