cRITIclsINc OF ROME.

Washington. Feb. 1-Criticising the vatican for refusing former Vice Presi- den Fairbanks an audience with the pope because he would not cancel his engagement to address the Methodist churchmen in Rome. the ministerial association at Washington adopted resolutions framed by the committee headed by Bishop Cranston of the Methodist Episcopal church censuring the action of the vatican authorities, which is desired as a characteristic ex- pression of the real spirit of the Rom an hierarchy.
 We congratulate our former vice president on his manly vindication of the American spirit of toleration and his exhibition of the dignity of free American manhood in this most signi- ficant test in Rome" said one section of the resolution.
 The protest against the recognitiop by this government of the Vatican is made in strong terms. Such recogni- ton is described as inconsistent with national traditions and the sanction of ecclesiastical assumption has been outgrown by the world and is a dis tinct menace to religious liberty.

NAVY COURT MARTIAL OF DR. RoekETT
Who Resented Middle Aged aysieian's
 Attentions to His Fianee.

Boston. Feb. 9.-Resentment of tn, attentions of a civilian to his fiancee Miss Dorothy Hesler of Evanston, III. was the basis of the defense of pr A. $. Robnett at his court martial trial today. resulting from the epi- sode at the naval dance at Charleston navy yard on December II.
 Dr. Rsbnett's trial which was on a charge of conduct unbecoming gem tleman and of profanity, lasted only four hours. Much of interest had been established by the testimony at the tria lof PaSmaster George P. Aud on charges growing out of the same in cident The trial was simplified by an admission by Dr. Robnett that he did use objectionable language when he called Dr. E. s. Cowles. the elected civilian. to account for his attitude to- ward Miss Hesler. Dr. Cowles. who was again on the stand. denied that he. attempted to make any clandestine appointments with the young woman. and in this he was substantiated by his wife
 Miss Hesler took the witness stand and flashing diamond ring in the eyes of the court declared that she had been engaged to Dr. Robnett since November and that Dr. Cowles not only tried to meet her but wanted to send her flowers and candy. Miss Hesler says she appealed to Robnett to save her from Cowles and the in- cident followed. Tomorrow there will be arguments and by Wednesday the finding of the court will be sent to

 Speaking of the waterpower bill. MT Pinchot declared that it repeals in silence the existing waterpower law and eurtails the already ample power now exercised with the approval of a former attorney general. by the depart ment of agriculture"

Williams. chairman of the republican state ex- ecutive committee. have been canvass ing among the republicans of Ohio to determine who should succeed MT

But Its Passage This ses- sion Will Not Be Urged
 NOT PLEDGED MEASURE
Corporations Are Not Now
 Pleased With It, Seeing It Is Not Loophole of Els cape from Restrictions of the Sherman Law

Washington. Feb. 7.-The federal incorporation bill was introduced to- day but will not ne pressed to passage this session. If the bill should pass Mir. Taft is willing to stand sponser for 1t and take the responsibility for having recommended it.
 But the president told callers today
 that he would not make the incorpo-
 ration bill an administration measure.
 He declared that he felt. he had no
 right to do so as it did not rank with
 the proposed amendments to the in-
 ter-state commerce law. the postal savings bank measure and conserva- tiou- The latter were promised in the platform upon which the president was elected and he feels that the par ty is responsible for their passage this session. Mir. Taft believed that there are many things in the incorporation bill that commend themselves to leg isiation. He will not attempt to in fiuence senators in favor of it how ciary committee for consideration.
 Wall street interests were inclined at first to look upon the federal char ter with the utmost favor but they were rudeiy awakened when they learned that the president would in sist that in any bill passed there should be included provision that nothing in the act should exempt the corporations from the antitrust law.
 Frank yanderiip and George Per kins of New York who saw tue presi- dent last week. told him that the cor porations were anything but pleased with the character Of the proposed take advantage of the act.
 The president. it is understood, re- torted that the act was a voluntary one. and that the corporations that did not care to come under federal control need not do so. As to exempting the companies with federal charters from the operations of the antitrust law. the president said that was impossi- ble.
 The constitutionality of the propos- ed act. is a serious question. however. as it would deprive the states of jur- isdiction over the corporations holding federal charters. Already Attorney General Wickersham Is being piled with inquiries regarding various fea- lures the bill. But officials believe chance it may be possible to modify the provisions to make them less ob- jectionable.

|senatoP Hepburn Fights t HI Over Again |s|nGLfAANDtD AND ALONE
After Fierce Speech Against Proposition to Loan Gov ernment Tents to Con- federate Veterans Senate Votes Against Him

Washington: Feb. Protesting against the loaning of government tents for the use of the Confederate veterans annual encampment at Mo bile. Ala. in April Senator Hepburn of Idaho today made the sharpest comment upon the issues ofthe. civil war that has been heard in congress in twenty years.
 He inveighed against men in rebel uniforms being permitted to occupy government property. or the rebel" flag being allowed to float over it. He finally drifted to the question of honoring men by placing their statues in the Hall of Fame and by unmistak- able inference condemned the action of Virginia in sending the statue of General Robert E. Lee to Washington
 Take it away. Worship it if you please" he thundered. but don't in trude it upon people who don't want it."
 The democratic senators moved un- easily about the floor conversing with each other. or sat frowning during the speech. When Senator Hepburn con- cluded. Senator Bankhead of Alabama said: Tin sure the senator from Idaho feels much better. I ask for vote
 By a roll call" shouted a dozen or more senators. and hapds went up in second of that request in every part of the chamber.
 When a vote was had on the tent loaning resolution every democrat and all the republicans. except Hepburn, voted for it.
 Hepburn spoke -Srobably forty min utes. The southern senators held a hurried consultation while the Idaho senator was proceeding and decided to make no reply. Accordingly. when Heybprn had concluded they contented themselves with allowing the aucs- ton to go to a vote after the laconic by Bankhead
 It so chanced that Heyburn's col league, Senator Borah of sdaho. was the first of the republicans to be reached by roll call. Without twitch of countenance he voted in favor of the resolution.
