KING AN EARLY CALLER
AT COLONEL'S HOTEL
They Had Quiet a Talk, and Then Went
Automobiling Dinner at
the Palace Last
. Evening.
Home, April 5. King Victor Em
manuel called upon former President
Roosevelt at the latter's hotel, Beau
Site, this morning, and they spent
some time in animated conversation
that was apparently mutually agree
able. Following the chat the king
and Mr. Moose velt entered a motor
car and a visit was paid to the bar
racks of the cuirassiers, royal body
guards. The cuirassiers executed a
series of maneuvers for Mr. Roose
velt's benefit. He said he never saw
a liner body of men.
Dinner with King ami Queen.
The ex-president and his party ar
rival at the entrance of the quirinal
palace last night at 8 p. m., where the
door of his carriage was opened by
tliu imposing tlgure of the royal door
keeper, magnificent In scarlet livery,
with sword and baton, and cocked hat,
seemingly right out of the middle
ages. At ihe foot of the grand stair
case Count Tozaonl and Duke Cito,
masters of ceremonies, and Count
Gulceiardlni. gentlemen In waiting to
Queen Helena, met the party and es
corted them up the steps which were
decorated with palms and llowered
shrubs.
The queen had at her right Col. and
Kermlt Roosevelt In audition to many
other notable personages. At the right
of the king sat Mrs Roosevelt, Miss
Ethel HooseveR and others.
After the lunch given by Ambas
sador Leishman to Mr, Roosevelt the

des, the Cuban minister, who present
ed message or greeting from the Cu
ban government, lie also received
Dr. Walling Clark, head of the Metho
dist organization in Italy and the Rev.
B. M. Tipple, pastor of the American
Methodist church In Rome.
A number of Italian Journalists
called on the ex-preBldent in the af
ternoon, but he declined to discuss the
Vatican incident. He spoke, however,
of a great change in Rome since he
was here on his honeymoon. To a
Swiss correspondent he expressed re
gret that he would be unable to stop
at lierne to see President Comtesse.
"I am greatly Interested in Switz
erland," said Mr. Roosevelt, "espe
cially the army and civil system. The
United States has much to learn from
the Swiss republic."
Mr. Roosevelt's mall Is enormous.
He says It Is impossible for him to
answer the hundreds of communlca-
tles he is receiving.
Cardinal Merry lel Val"s Statement.
Rome. April H. Now that Mr.
Roosevelt has made public the docu
ments which the Vatican had consid
ered confidential. Cardinal Merry Del
Val, papal secretary of state, wishes
he entire history of the negotiations
for the audience which the former
president sought of Pope Pius I. to
be known. Cardinal Merrv Del Val is
credited with the responsibility for the
Vatican's part In the matter and the
following may be accepted as Ills ver
sion: Following the exchange between
Monslgnor Kennedy and American
Ambassador Irishman and Mr. Roos
evelt's decision not to be received un
der the terms imposed. John Callan
O'l.oughlln, who was assistant secre
tary of state In 1909 an-1 a personal
friend of Mr. Roosevelt, called upon
Cardinal Merry Del Val bearing an
introduction from Monslgnor Kalconlo.
apostolic delegate In the United States.
Immediately being Introduced to the
presence of the cardinal, Mr. OLough
lln said:
"I do not coma In the name of Mr.
Roosevelt, but on my own account as
an American Catholic."
Cardinal Merry Del Val said:
"Then what are we here for? It Is
Useleas to discuss the matter. If you
do not represent Mr. Roosevelt you
cannot mke any arrangements or
speak for him."
Mr. O'Loughlin replied:
"What I consMer important Is to
tell your eminence that If the two
dispatches sent by Monslgnor Ken
nedy are retracted I can assure you
that Mr. Roosevelt will accept an
audience."
Cardinal Merry Del Val said:
"I will not discuss Mr. Jtoosevelt's
rights but give me confidential assur
ance that da facto, Mr. Roosevelt will
not go to the Methodists, and the
audience will occur."
Mr. O'Loughlin refused to give this
assurance.

MIGHTY HUNTER
IN A BAD HUMOR
Rev. Mr. Tipple in a Statement Gives the Vatican Incident
World-Wide Significance, Contrary to Roosevelt's
Wish Reception to American Colony Called Off.
Rome, April 5. Former President
Roosevelt was not in the happiest
mood today. His wish that the Vati
can audience incident be regarded as
personal to him had not been respect
ed, and he was intensely annoyed.
About the first thing the former
president did today was to call off
the reception to members of the
American colony set for tomorrow
night. This action can be traced di
rectly to the issuance yesterday of. a
statement by Rev. B. M. Tipple, pas
tor of the American Methodist church,
in which opportunity was taken for
an attack upon the Roman church.
Mr. Roosevelt does not propose to bo
used by anyone to the dlsparagament
of anyone else.
What Rev. Mr. Tipple Says.
Rev. Mr. Tipple called upon Mr.
Roosevelt yesterday afternoon and
upon his departure made a public
statement In which he lifted the Vati
can episode out of the realm of the
personal and gave It a world-wide
significance.
"Mr. Roosevelt has struck a blow
for twentieth century Christianity,"
said Mr. Tipple. "Representatives of
two great republics have been the
ones to put the Vatican where It be
longs. The Vatican is incompatible
with republican principles. This is a
hitter dose for patriotic Catholics in
America to swallow, is Catholicism
in America to be American or Rom
ish? If Romish, then every patriotic

Reception Called Off.
This statement in full was shown
to Roosevelt today. He then said
that under the circumstances he had
requested the American ambassador
not to hold the reception scheduled
fcr Wednesday.
The sensation caused by the deter
mination of Roosevelt not to be re
ceived by the pope upon terms made
by Cardinal Merry Del Val continues
unabated. The press today is filled
with columns on the subject. Papers
of all shades of political opinion with
the exception of clerical organs, sup
pert Roosevelt's attitude. Some of
the violent anti-clerical sheets inti
mate that the affair may result in the
downfall of the papal secretary.
"Bankruptcy of the Vatican."
Under the heading "The Bankruptcy
of the Vatican" the Messagero points
out that the pope recently received
Emperor William, King Edward,
Prince Von Buelow and Chancellor
Von Bethmann-Hellweg, all protest
ants, without atempting to impose re
strictions which "would certainly
haVe been rejected by them with as
much indignation as Mr. Roosevelt
displayed." The Messagero expects
the Incident will create resentment in
America," where national pride is so
strong." and result in a diminution

PLANS FOR PEACE
Philadelphia Transit Co. Practically
Withdraws Offer to Its Former
Employes.
Philadelphia, Pa., April 5. Fol
lowing the refusal of the strik
ing car. men at their meeting to ac
cept the terms of settlement offered
by the Rapid Tran.slt company, the
board of directors of the company
have practically withdrawn their offer
to ti ke back all the men. At the close
of the meeting of the directors the
following statement was issued by toe
company:
"After the men on strike refused
the offer of re-employment In a body,
made to them two weeks ago. at the
instance of the mayor, the company
proceeded to 1111 vacancies, getting
competent men wherever they could
lie found. So many men have been
employed in the two weeks since the
offer was rejected that it will now be
Impossible to take back Into the ser
vice of the company all of the old
men on strike.
"The officers, however, have been
Instructed, In filling runs still open, to
give tho preference to old employes
whose records in the past have been
satisfactory to the company. Old
men SO employed will be entitled to
advances in wages and to the insur
ants and pension features the same
as if they had not gone on strike."
The executive committee of the lo
cal carmen's union In a statement Is
sued say:
"At least 3500 of the striking car
men were present at last night's meet
ing and Inasmuch as it has been re
peatedly claimed that the men were
desirous of returning to work and
that our international officer, C. O.
Pratt, was the stumbling block that
stood in the way, It was decided best
to give the men another opportunity
to accept the mayor a proposition, to
gether with the additional verbal as
surances that were given to C. O.
Pratt on Saturday.
"There was an Immediate storm of
opposition to the proposition anil not
one voice was raised In favor of the
acceptance of the same; on the con
trary a unanimous standing vote was
taken against the acceptance of any
propositions that would not restore
the locked out men to their former
positions In the company's Service.
Every man raised his right hand and
rent ed his obligation to continue In
this fight, not one man to return until
every man should return under an
honoralde adjustment; the only argu
ments advanced liy tne lnoiviouai
members was to the effect that they
would never surrender their rights
even If they never worked for this
company another day.

BUT NOT I LEU ONE
Such Is Diagnosis of Tombs Physician
in Case of Accused Slayer of
Wheeler Girl.
New York. April 5. Dr. T. A. Mc
Gwire, the Tombs psyslclan, says that
Alliert Wolter, who Is charged with
the murder of Ruth Wheeler, Is a
moral but not a legal Imbecile. The
doctor finds him a type of degenerate
lacking in moral sense, but not Im
mune from punishment for any crime
he may have committed, because he
still has the power to distinguish the
duality and nature of his acts.
The girl was first strangled, then
hacked with a knife, thrust upon an
open fireplace and burned beyond
recognition. Dr. McOuire says that
If Wolter killed her, he became terri
fied when he found she was uncon
scious and acted thereafter under the
blind guidance of tho instinct of self
preservation. Paul Iloppe. who formerly roomed
with Wolter, told the district attorney
that Woller was of a gentle nature,
drank little, but loved to stay out at
night and was "crazy about women."

BENN CONGER RESIGNS
FROM NEW YORK SENATE
With Ashen Face and Trembling Hands
He Reads His Statement
to World.
Albany, N. Y., April 5. Rising to
a question of personal privilege In the
senate last night. Senator Benn Con
ger, after reading a statement In
which he declared he fully reullzed
that as a result of the Allds bribery
charge his usefulness as a legislator
was at an end, handed his resignation
to Lieutenant Governor White, a du
plicate of which he later placed with
the secretary of state.
With ashen face and trembling
hand he read while his fellow sena
tors listened with Intense interest and
when he had finished he sent his res'-
ignation to the desk and quickly left
the chamber.
Mr. Conger read how at a privati
conference when the qualifications of
ex-Senator Allds for the position of
republican leader of the senate was
being considered he was asked to de
clare his position.
How It Started.
"I replied that I would not and
could not vote for him," he contin
ued.' "1 told them, In conlldence,
what I, as a witness on tho stand,
have since told you, namely, that 1
personally knew that In 1901. when
republican leader in the assembly, he
had held up and demanded of the
bridge companies and had received
from them the sum of $1000 to Influ
ence his official action and that I did
not propose by any act of mine to
place him again In a position where
he could levy ldack-mail on the bus
iness interests of the state."
Allds' Denial and What Followed.
Conger then related how later Allds.
Ml Ihe floor of the senate, denied the
truth of those statements and de
manded an Investigation thereof.
"So." he added, "the alternative
was presented to me of becoming a
liar and thereby remaining a mem
ber of this body In good standing,
or of speaking the truth and therc-
bv greatly Injuring myself, financially,
politically and socially, and bringing
been ashamed and sincerely sorry
was In standing ny anu permuting
the thing to be done Instead of then
and there denouncing It."
Mr. Conger said that untwlthstahd
ing the fact that it was a policy of
the state that even the bribe giver
who gives his evidence aasits In un
covering and proving the offense,
should not be punished: and notwlth
stardlug the fact he had made full
disclosure of the transaction he had
learned that an attempt was to be
made to expel him as a member of
the senate.
Ills Usefulness at An laid.
"I am also Informed," he continued
"that some of your number profess to
feel that they cannot rsnaln in the
. . ..in'
senate n i remain to oe (jart-.
"I have no desire to remain a mem
ber of this great legislative body If
my presence la to give offense to any
of Its members. I realise, and from
the beginning have fully realised, that
with the feeling here as It Is, my use
fulness to my district as a member of
this legislature Is st an end. I ran
not afford the expense of a furthe
hearing and another trial, and I feel
that I ought not to impose the ex
pense tiieieof on the state. Needed
legislation ought not to lie longer de
layed and mrt I am going to volunta
rily surrender m: .alee.
'The .sacrifice hst Wen great and
at times the burden has seemed more
than i could carry, but my hope Is
that nut of It all, In ths calmer days
which will surely follow good will ul
timately come."

AND STORMS OF APPLAUSE
GREET HIS UTTERANCES
The Platform Declares for Tariff Cover
ing Cost of Production
Here and
Abroad.
MtiH'in
Washington, April 4. The
"tariff law Is every day con
futing the many liars who at
tack it," declared Represent
ative Payne, one of the au
thors of the law, leaving the
White Mouse today, after a
tariff conference with Presi
dent Tuft.
Indianapolis, April 6. The Indiana
republican convention today adopted
a platform that ignores tho Paync-
Aldricli tariff law and declares for
only a protective tariff "that covers
the cost of production here and
abroad."
The convention met to name a full
state ticket, except for governor and
lieutenant governor.
Senator Beveridge in a speech de
claring antagonism to the tariff law
passed by the last congress received
storms of applause. Beveridge made
an impassioned defense of his action
in voting against the bill.
Local Option Not Mentioned.
The resolutions committee voted
unanimously not to mention the new
tariff measure. Nor did the commit
tee take up the local option question.
Immediately after assembling, genu
ine Beveridge took charge as tempo
rary chairman and made the princi
pal address.
The republicans of Indiana, he said,
are for a protective tariff which cov
ers the difference in the cost of pro
duction here and abroad. Less than
thut is unjust to American laborers;
more than that is unjust to American
consumers. Injustice Is the only foe
that protection needs to fear. It whs
to reduce the Dinglcy tariff to meet
changed conditions and secure justice
that we undertook its revision.
"Every economic policy, every
political system, almost every govern
ment has been destroyed because of
excesses and injustice that crept Into
It. The way to keep secure a policy,
a system or a government that in it
self is good is to administer it with
tuatice and wisdom. The only way
to keep a party solid and growing is
to keep it right and progressive.
"McKinley saw this when he dc
lered in his last speech that In tariff
matters the period of exclusiveness Is
past.'
Senator Morrell, the father of tin-
war tariff of 1864, saw It when he de
clared in 1870: 'It is the mistake of
the friends of a sound tariff to insist
on extreme rates proposed during tip-
war if less will raise the necessary
revenue.'
"Garfield saw It when he said: 'Tim
wisest thing protectionists can do Is
to unite on a moderate reduction of
dutlot.'
Theodore Roosevelt Baw It when he
said at I.ogHnsport, Ind., In 1002:
What we really need in th.- country
is to treat the tariff as a business
proposition from the standpoint of
the temporary needs of any political
party.'
"Tho great masses of republican
oters understand It today when they
refuse to permit the great doctrine
of protection to be used to excuse and
loak tariff excess. Use a principle
to perpetuate a fraud, and the friend
if the principle thus misused Is more
(trended than the enemy of the prln-iph-
Itself."
