Former Vice Presidents In
terest in Methodists the
Cause of Action
(By Associated Press.)

ROME. Feb. THE visit to Rome OF
Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice presi-
dent of the United States, brought about
very delicate situation, owing to the
fact that he wished to pay his respects to
the king. the pope and the American
Methodist church. Incidents OF this kind
are not infrequent, and extreme care has
to be exercised by those upon whom
the arrangement of the audiences falls,
in order to avoid offending the suscep-
tibilities on either side.
BY a tactful arrangement Mr.. Fair
banks audience with King Victor En-
manuel was fixed for Saturday. and that
with the pope for Monday, and when ev-
everything seemed satisfactorily planned.
the vatican suddenly announced that 1t
would be impossible for his holiness TO
receive the former vice president If he
carried out his announced intention to
speak in the American Methodist church
here, because the Methodists had been
active in PROSECUTING among the Cath
olics.
Negotiations were Immediately begun
with a view to avoiding any unpleasant
ness, and a situation which might give
rise to misconceptions, and on these ne
gotiations prominent vatican officials eX-
erted every influence to remove the diffl-
culties which had so Unexpectedly pre-
scented themselves to Mr.. Fairbanks au-
dience with the pope. But Mr.. Fairbanks
finally declared that, although he was an
mated by strong desire to pay his re-
spects to the head of the Catholic church.

portant part as good American citizens.
he would not withdraw from his promise
TO deliver an address before the Ameri-
can Methodist church.

Of the sovereigns to show courtesy, and
