had me act as his secretary in getting
girls for the school of stenography we
were to establish. I am innocent of
the crime" This statement, made to-

he will offer.

he knew who killed the young stenog-

could not be possible, as he was not in
the house at the time, he felt that he
knew the man. This friend he assert
ed had access to his apartments.
Wolter produced letter which he
said he had received the evening after
his arrest. lit was written in German
and was signed "The man who ought
to be in prison in your place" One
paragraph from this letter said: In
the event you are convicted shall
then come forward, mawe a full con-
fession of my guilt and save you from
the electric chair"

Colonel Roosevelt and the Pope.


Colonel Rooseve1t,s collision with the
pope is a serious matter indeed and
more ticklish to comment on than Vice
President Fairbanks complication. The
latter might have got into 1T by acci-
dent, Or from sectarian sympathy with
the Methodists. who are 80 objection
able to the pope. But Mr.. Roosevelt
went in after full warning and the ex-
pectation that a way would be found
around the difficulty. But the chal-
lenging hint from the vatican that it
was hoped Mr.. Roosevelt would avoid
the Fairbanks mistake was too much
for the spirited ex-president, and he
promptly declared that II any condi-
tions were attached that Hns5ted his
freedom his presentation TO the pope
was impossible. MT. Roosevelt has
large following among the Catholics
of America who respect and admire
him and regard him as a friend. We
wonder whether their religious loyalty
will allow them to recognize in Mr..
Rooseveits attitude the only position
self respecting American of his char
acter. fame and position could take.
1t will be noticed that, as usual, Colonel
Roosevelt's press agent is very niznble
and gets his side OF the case fully pre-
sented to the world before the other
