TAFT'S AID MAKES
GOOD PRESS|ON
Visit of Butt to Pope May
Win Red Hat for
Ireland.

Especial Cable to The Timos-Dispatch.)
Rome, March 3o.-lt has become
known that Major Archibald Butt,
President Tafts personal aide. besides
bearing an autograph letter from the,
American chief executive to the Popo,
brought credentials in the shape of
three letters addressed to Cardinal
Merry Del Val, the papsl secretary OF
stute; Cardinal Rampvlia, his prcdc-
cessor i'll that office. ana an American
prelate, who wcro asked to arrange
the audience with tho Pope. Tho ne
Sotfations for tho audience were con-
Quoted through ecclesiastical channels
without the Intervention of the Amer
lean embassy, lest the mistake which
was committed when Colonel Roose-
volt came to Romo on his return from
Africa be- repeated. Major Butt did
not communicate with the Quirinal and
did not see King Victor Emmanuel
The Pope was greatly pleased with
the visit of Mujor Butt. which he sub
sequcnuy contrasted with the failure
of Colonel Roosevcit's projected call
The letter which the Pope has sent
to President Taft in the care of Major
Butt is merely complimentary.
1t Is gossip here that the favorable
impression created at the Vatican by
President Taft's action In having
Major Butt present letter thanking
tho Pope for having created Farley
and O'Connen cardinals. may win
red hat for Archbishop Ireland. of ST.
Paul.
All audiences with the Pope have
been suspended until nf,er Easter. III
order to enable the Pontlf to have
good rest and recover from the fatigue
of the recent receptions of pilgrims
which was the cause OF his latest in
disposition.
