ROOSEVELT. WILL
NOT SEE THE Pope
VlTiCAN REFUSES AUDIENCE
WHEN ASKED TO WAIVE
RESTRICTIONS.
VICTOR EMMANUEL GREETs HIM
Queen Helena Grants an Audience to
the Distinguished Visitors, Includ-
ing Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethel.

Rome, Italy.-The audience which
1t was believed Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt would have with the pope
Tuesday did not take place, owing to
the restrictions which the Vitican
has imposed and which Mr.. Roosevelt
refused to accept.
Although the definite negotiations
Mr.. Roosevelt departed from Egypt,
the announcement was withheld un-
til Mr.. Roosevelt reached Rome, at
the solicitation of his American
Catholic friends here, who believed
that in the meantime the Vitlcan
might change his mind.
One of the former presidents
American friends who had been with
him in Egypt came to Rome, without
however, any authorization from Mr..
Roosevelt and interceded with
Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal
secretary, in an endeavor to avoid a
situation which as it now stands has
caused a real sensation in Rome, al
though it was not entirely unexpect-
ed, but his efforts were unavailing.
While at Gondokoro in February
last Mr.. Roosevelt wrote to Am
bassador Leishman, saying that he
would be glad of the honor of an
audience with King Victor En-
manuel and the pope. The audi
ence with the king was promptly ar
ranged. Before an arrangement could
be reached relative to an audience
with the pope several kilograms were
passed, and the negotiations We're
ended by Mr.. Roosevelts refusing in
anyway to be limited as to his con-
duct, and announcing that the audi
ence with the pope under the circum-
stances was now impossible.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who ar
rived in Rome quietly Sunday, was
received in the Quirinal this morn.
Ing by King Victor Emmanuel. Am
bassador Leishman accompanied the
distinguished American and introduced
him to the king, who talked with the
colonel for some time. Kermit Roose-
velt shared with his father the honor
of the royal audience, and his
majesty included the young man in
the conversation, being greatly in
terested inthe exploits and experien-
ces of the hunting party in Africa.
Monday afternoon the Roosevelt
family, including Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethel, were received by Queen
Helena. This was an especial honor,
for the time of the year in which the
queen grants audiences is now over,
and she made an exception in favor Of
the Roosevelts. Her majesty has al
ways had great admiration for Amer
lea and Americans.

The state collected on beer tax last
month $3S,67545. This was an in
crease over corresponding period of
last year of $9,34476, and again over

tirely without licensed saloons and
there are fourteen other counties in
which dramshops are only licensed in
the large cities.

Good Work In Denmark.

Under legislation enacted in 1906
the Danish government pays three
fourths of the expenses of all poor
persons who desire to be treated in
tuberculosis sanatoria. When the hos
pitfalls under construction are COM
pleted Denmark will have one bed in
tuberculosis hospitals or sanatoria for
every 1900 inhabitants, fact which
will mean that the length Of treat
ment can be considerably extended.
In the United States there is one bed

PRESIDENT OF MINE WORKERS
THINKS THAT 100000 WILL BE
BACK IN MINES SHORTLY.
UNION OFFICIALS OPTIMISTIC
President Of Illinois Operators Asso'
clatlon Does Not Expect Settle
ment Inside Of Month--Meet-
ing Expected Monday.

Indianapolis, InQldnd.-Wltu tuc
wage agreement between the min
ers and operators in the block coal
region of southern Indiana already
signed and with prospects Of the 9TH
er principal dis .ricts which took part
in the suspension of work throughout
the country beginning Friday taking
similar action within a week, the Of
ficers Of the United Mine Workers of
America in Indianapolis are jubilant
over the prospects Of complete vic
tory without a struggle.
The strike which was inaugurated
bituminous coal miners, brought an
enforced holiday on the anniversary
of the institution of the eight-hour
day.
President Lewis received official no
tice Thursday night that the agree
ment between the miners and the op-
orators at Brazil, the headquarters of
what is known as the block coal dis
trict, had been signed. This means
that the 5000 men employed in that
district will not lay down their tools,
but that the mines will continue to
run with the men receiving an in
crease in wages which will amount
to 5.55 per cent per ton.
The following statement was made
at headquarters Friday morning:
There is no reason to be pessi-
mistic about the mining situation,
there likely will be more trouble in
getting Illinois and western Pennsyl-
vania signed up than in any other
mining district. The real trouble will
be the inability to get together quick
ly enough.
There will be no serious trouble
and no delay in arranging wage con-
tracts in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
western Kentucky, West Virginia,
central Pennsylvania and Iowa. 1t is
possible that Illinois and the south
west will be idle for about 80 days
and the southwest may not be idle
for more than week or ten days.
100000 to Go Back.
Three hundred thousand miners
were to lay down their tools Friday
morning, to resume work only when
they have an understanding with the
mine owners. 1t is more than likely
that 10000 of these idle men will
be at work next week.
1--WE do not consider that there
will be any strike in the sense that
strikes are usually conducted. 1t sim
ply will be temporary suspension
of mining pending final negotiation
of a wage contract. The following
are the districts which President
Lewis says will be in operation with.
in week.
Western Kentucky, 5000 men;
West Virginia. Kanawha district, 12,-
600 men; Ohio district, 47,000 men,"
The miners of the country Friday
are celebrating the twelfth anniver-
sary of the advent of the eight-hour
day.
That settlement will be reached

expected by any of the operators.
Some of them predict that the sus-
pension will last much longer. A. ].
Moorshtead, president of the Illinois
Coal Operators association, was in

associates on the subject. No meet
ing between the operators and min
ers has been arranged there, but it is
expected that one will be called Mon.
