RELEASE OF JAP SPIES
AROUSES INDIGNATION

Manila, April Much indignation
has been aroused by the release of
the two Japanese who were arrested
here a few days ago on a charge of
being spies. The Japanese were Civ
en- their liberty on cable instructions
from Washington. Owing to the fact
that there is no provision in the Phil
ippine military code governing the
trial of spies of a nation not at war
with this country, the alleged spies
were turned over TO civil authorities.
Civil law showed the statutes 10 be
inadequate to punish them with the
result that they were released.

Rome, April 4.-King Emmanuel
today granted a two hour interview to
President Roosevelt The nature of
but 1t is believed the vatican incident
was discussed. Kermit Roosevelt was
also granted an audience. The audi
ence which it was believed Roosevelt
would have with the pope tomorrow,
will not take place owing to the re-
striction placed upon the former presi-
dent by the vatican that he refrain
from addressing Methodists while in
Rome. Although II is believed Roose-
welt had no engagement to visit the
Methodist college, he deemed 1t a
curb upon his liberty and refused to
accept the invitation. The incident
has caused a tremendous sensation.
A similar situation arose some time
ago when ex-Vice President Fairbanks
was denied an audience with the Pope
because he had accepted an invitation
to address the Methodist college.
After leaving the palace, Roosevelt
was driven to the Pantheon where he
placed wreaths on the tombs of King
Emanuel, Victor and Humbert. A
throng lined the course of the Roose-
welt party. While reading his mail
at the hotel Doctors Typle and Clark
OF the Methodist college called to pay
their respects to Roosevelt and warm
ly congratulated the colonel on his at
titude.
Roosevelt His own Boss.
While at Gondokoro in February
last Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Ambassa-
dor Leishman, saying he would be
glad of the honor of an audience with
King Victor Emmanuel and the pope.
The audience with the king was
promptly arranged. Before an ar
rangement could be reached relative
to an audience with the pope, several
kilograms were passed and the nego-
tiations were ended by Mr.. Roose-
velt's refusing in any way to be linn
tied as to his conduct. and announce
ing that an audience with the pope
under the circumstances was now i'm
possible.
AS a matter of fact Mr. Roosevelt,
while declining to accept any condi-
tions in connection with his audience
with the pope. had neither directly
nor VI ditSi
the negotiations. made or considered
any engagements in Rome except
those of an official character. and he
actually entered Rome last night with
but two definite engagements, the au-
dience with the king and the dinner
to be given in his honor by the muni-
cipality.
THE entire affair is a closed Incl
dent" said Roosevelt this afternoon,
referring to the vatican matter The
course | followed was the only one
open to me" Foreign diplomats who
have been interviewed here, take the
same view of the affair. None of the
high dignitaries of the Catholic church
would issue a formal statement but
seemed inclined to blame Roosevelt
for not acquiescing in the pope's de-
sire to discriminate in a matter of

to be exact, Just what it requires
to hire competent insurance ability
and clerical force" The Standard
Fire Insurance Co. is run exclusively
in the interest of the stockholders,
and the expense ratio for the manage
ment is less than any company in the
state, and marvelously less than many
OF them.
We are exceedingly glad that this
question has been brought up, and We
will take pleasure in explaining in
detail every point of interest to in
vestors.
Sound business principles and
steady growth will be the motto Of
