Practically no business will be done
in the Senate except the considera-
ton Of appreciation bills until after
the vote Thursday on the postal saw
ings bank bill. The next bill of inn
portance to be considered is the in
tcrstatc commerce measure. Already
it has been reported from the COM
mittec. but the report Of the majority
has not been prepared. The fact that
it will be accompanied by the views of
the minority promises bitter fight.
Attorney General Wickersham will
appear tomorrow before the House
committee on interstate commerce and
he expects to complete his statement
in reference to that bill. which differs
considerably from the bill introduced
by Rep. Mann of Illinois. chairman
OF the committee. There have been
no votes however. on any phase of the
subject and it canont be said what
the result will be. Representative
Townsend Of Michigan. who is the spe-
cial champion of the Presidents meas

Rome, Feb. H.-The American Meth
Odtst church was crowded this morn
ing. the congregation including many
American .'isitnrs, who were attracted
by the subject of Pastor B. NJ. Tipple's
sermon: why Methodism Is In Rome -
1t was in the American Methodist
church that Charles w. Fairbanks,
Former Vice President of the United
States. delivered the address which
shut him off from being received in
audience by the Pope, an incident
which has created much discussion in
Rome az well as in the United States.
The Rev. Mr.. Triple said that the
Methodist church was meeting with
great success throughout Italy. Such
an inference could be drawn from the
extraordinary action of the Vatican
with regard to the proposed visit Elk
Vice President Fairbanks to the
Pope and also from the bitter resent
ment OF the Catholic clergy.
As Mr.. Fairbanks spoke in the
American Methodist church. the pastor
said. 1T was fitting that from the same
pulpit the charges preferred against
Methodism In Italy should be consid-

Another assertion by the Catholics is
that Methodism is not needed in Italy.

rassment when it is required to sat
isfy the ideals of great liberty-lov-
ing republic contemporaneously with
needing the demands of the Vatican,
which is still bound by the ideals of
the middle ages. This is proved by the
experience of Archbishop Ireland when
he was here year ago. studying the
Methodist propaganda. A great Lincoln
banquet WAS arranged by the Amer
lean colony. Very properly Archbish-
Cd ireland was asked to speak. Very
properly, as a patriotic American cit
izen. he accepted the invitation. But
suddenly the good archbishop recall
ed his acceptance. The Vatican had
forbidden him to speak or attend the
banquet because a toast to President
Roosevelt was followed by a toast to
the King Of ITALY,"
Italy needs Methodism because it
is no longer Catholic except in name.
The charge of Methodist PROSECUTING is
foolich. Their hands are full in DEAL
ing with the unbelievers. 1t is true that
the Methodists have ex-priests among
the workers, but none has been ac-
lively sought. The Methodist schools
are full because the children's parents
select them as the best.
''Thc issue in Italy today is not
Professionalism VS.. Catholicism, but
faith VS.. atheism. Archbishop Ireland
has said that every convert costs $14Oo.
If that is true cannot the American
Methodists better afford to pay it then
to every three Italian laborers who
carry on a priest7 The pastor urged
that Archbishop Ireland specified the
dishcnorable methods employed by
the Americans here and he added: 1t
is playing with fire for the Cathoilc
church to open the subject Of moral
methods in Italy.

THAT JEFF-JOHNSON FIGHT.
Now It Is Not Certain to Be Staged Ir
San Francisco or Vicinity.

San Francisco, Feb Eft is by no
means certain that the Jeffries-John-
son fight will be staged in or around
San Francisco. 1t was learned Satur-
day that negotiations are about to be
re- Opened with Salt Lake City, with a
view of ascertaining if the big battle
can be held there. That the promoters
of the fight have not met with the re-
ception here they had expected. and that
, they are not entirely agreed as to the
course to pursue has become apparent
and finds vent in various rumors of
another split between Richard and
Gleason, and intimations that extor-
tionate demands are made for place
for an arena.
1t has been said several times that a
definite announcement would be forth
coming from Gleason and Richard, but
none has been made. Last Monday
night it was announced that at con-
ference it was definitely determined
the fight would be held in San Fran
CISCO 1t developed the next day that
Gleason was not present at the con-
ference, that an other hitch had oc-
Cured and the announcement of the
night before was declared to be unau-
thorized.
Now it is said that Richard, becom-
ing dissatisfied, has reopened negotia-
tions with Salt Lake City. 1t was
learned that representatives from Salt
Lake will be here in a day or two,
among them J. Langford, manager of
the Saltair Pavilion. who Is coming in
response to a telegram from Richard.
Denials were forthcoming Saturday
from both parties to a report that
Gleason and Rickard had split over the
place for the fight and Gleason would
