NDTTDViSIT THEPOPE
Col. Roosevelt Found It Inexpe
dient to Accept Conditions.
On March 23 Ambassador Leishman
Cabled to Cairo That the Holy Fa
ther Would Be Glad to Grant an
Audience to Mr. Roosevelt and
Moped Nothing Would Arise to Pre
vent It Roosevelt In Reply Declin
ed to Make Any Stipulation.
Colonel Roosevelt will not be re
ceived hy the pope, according to the
Outlook, of which the colonel is a con
tributing editor.
In Its issue Monday morning the Out
look says that Plus IX., who Is lately
In possession of a complete set of
Colonel Roosevelt's works, endeavored
to impose conditions before Colonel
Roosevelt even thought of taking
steps or miking engagements th.it
might have been distasteful to the
Vatican.
It is gathered from the cablegrams
that passed between Minister LeiBh
man and Colonel Roosevelt, the pop
feared a repetition of the Fairbanks
incident and deBired to utter a gentle
hint in time. The Outlook states
though that it is authorized to say
that Mr. Roosevelt had not directly
or indirectly communicated with the
Methodists or any one else and had
not made any agreement to speak to
or receive anybody.
"He entered Rome," the Outlook
says, "with no arrangements ot any
kind save an audience with the king,
so that the Vatican, in endeavoring to
Impose conditions upon him, acted
before he even thought of taking
steps for any engagements whatever "
As soon as Colonel Roosevelt left
the Jungle at Gondokoro In February
he wrote to Ambassador Leishman at
Rorve saying that ho would be glad
of the hono. of a presentation to His
Holiness. At Cairo he received a dU
patrh from Mr. Leishman as follows:
"Rome. March 23. The rector of
the American Catholic college. Bishop
Kennedy, in reply to an inquiry which
I caused to be made, requests that the
following communication be trans
mitted to you. It begins: 'The Holv
Father will be delighted to grant an
audience to Mr. Roosevelt on April
and hopes that nothing will arise
to prevent it. such as the much re
gretted Incident which made the re
reptlon of Mr. Fairbanks Impossible."
Mr. Roosevelt replied In a telegram
dated March 25 in which he said:
Plcase present the following to
Bishop Kennedy: 'It would be a real
pleasure to me to be presented to the
Holy Father, for whom I entertain
high respect, both personally and as
the head of a great church. I fully
recognize his entire right to receive
or not receive whomsoever he chooses
for any reason that seems good to
him. and if ho does not receive me,
I shall not for a moment question the
propriety of his action. On the other
bund I, in my turn, must decline to
make any stipulation or submit to an)
cofdilions which would in any way
limit niy freedom of conduct. I trust
that on April 5 he will And It conven
ient to receive me.
"Theodore Roosevelt."
This reply was communicated to the
Vatican on the same day and on March
28 Ilishnp Kennedy was instructed to
eor.d the following communication:
"His Holiness would be most pleased
to grant an audience to Mr. Roosevelt,
for whom he entertains high esteem,
both personally and as the former
president of the United States. His
Holiness recognizes Mr. Roosevelt's
entire right to full freedom of con
duct. On the other hand, In view of
circumstances for which neither His
Holiness nor Mr. Roosevelt la respon
sible, an audience could not take
place except on the understanding
expressed In the former message."
Mr. Leishman telegraphed this to
Mr. Roosovelt at Cairo, and the latter
on March 29 telegraphed to the am
bassador: "The proposed presentation Is of
course now Impossible."
TWO TEACHERS KILLED

and fatally wounded Mrs. Dowd, in
thho Round Hill section of the city

The murderer made his escape but
the whole city is being scoured by the

en into custody. The burglar made
his appearance In the parlor where
four women were sitting about a table
trying to solve a jig saw puzzle.
He demanded money and ns Miss
Miickstone started to run from the
room ho commanded her to stop.
threatening to shoot, but she did not
need hint. The burglar tired one
shot which penetrated her back, go
ing through (lit heart, killing her in
stanlly. Mrs. Dowd threw up her arm

Eroceries, shoes, overalls and other

MINERS QUIT WORK
Failure to Sign New Scale Necessi
tated a Shutdown.
At 6 o'clock on Thursday night
practically every miner of the 45,
0d0 In the Pittsburg district walk
ed . out of the mines and at mid
night not a wheel was turning. The
rcnle expired at midnight and owing
to Its not being again signed for the
coming year the strike is on.
While strike leaders declare that
It will be a matter of hut a few days
until the scale granting the advance
asked Is signed, there Is bitter dls
appolntmer. over it having been nec
essary to close the mines. Now thai
they have been closed operators say
they will not be In a hurry to open
them.
The operators are prepared for a
long strike. Not In years have the
mines run as full as in the past two
months and coal is stocked up heav
ily at every available point. It come0
nit that the river interests have pool
d issues with the railroads and
mines in this strike and great tow?
of conl supposed to be pent south by
the river have been tied up and will
not be allowed to leave the nttsburg
!ool? nnHl ail danger of strike Is over.
Though rncit of the river coal was
loaded to fill pressing orders In the
Fouth. thes" orders have been can
celled and (he coal will be held.
The worl tncn declare thev are In
better condi'lon to handle a fight than
ever before, that they have more
money In the treasury and that the
operators eie pressed with orders and
cannot afford a long strike.

Long Island.
The dread gypsy mot h Is report
ed to have been discovered on Long
Island In a railroad freight car con
taining nursery stock from Mas
sachusetts and the state department
of agriculture has taken steps to pre
vent the spread of the pest.
The legislature recently appropriat
ed 50.ono as an emergency fund to
bo used in combatting the moth
should it enter the state.
When the great gypsy moth begins
to emerge for its at.nual feast on the
foliage It. will encounter 1,000,000 for
eign enemies which were not in tho
woods last summer. One hundred col
onies of the little Japanese parasite,
known as the schedius, have just
been planted from the insectory by
W. F. Fiske. In each colony there
are about 10,000 parasites. These
colonies have been liberated In dif
ferent parts of the infected area. In

eggs In which the embryonic cater

WORK OF GOLDEN RULE COPS
Cleveland Police Stations Turned Into
Moral Hospitals.
Clevt land, April 5. Chief of Police
Kohler, who has abolished the police
man's club in favor of the Golden
Rule. ha3 given out figures showing,
as he believes, the superiority of the
Golden Rule over the billy. The figures
show in the first three months of the
year 19u7, the last year of the old
system, the police had made 7,126
arrest3. In a similar period in 1908
2,679 arrests were made, in 1909, 1,405
and this year 1 .283. In a special bul
Iitin to tiie force giving these figures
Chief Kohler says:
It is both gratifying and encourag
ing to note how widespread has be
come the interest in our common
sense so termed golden rule policy in
the last two years and three months,
and wf can now look forward to thg
very hour when no tide of partisan or
factional strife can overwhelm It, as
It Is manifest in the following com
parisons of arrests for the first quar
ter (January. February, March) of
the years 1906 and 1907, when we
were still laboring under the mistak
en theory that a great number of ar
rests showed our ability as police
man, and 19HS. 1909 and 1910 when we
became absolutely separated from the
usual criminal procedure of the coun
try, that we have made our police
titalions not places where punishment
as usually Interpreted, hardens the
heart of apparent violators, making It
ency for them to become second of
fenders, but we have made them what
might be termed moral hospitals,
where advice, good will, protection,
correction and if possible reformation
If. the watchword.
The chief goes on to say that 50,000
U only a fair estimate of the number
of first and minor violators who have
been spared the police court.

Differing .Opinions .as .to .Colonel
Roosevelt's Action at Rome.
New York, April 5. The news from
Rome was very generally discussed
here and opinion was shaded all the
way from the view that Colonel Roose
velt had acted in a characteristically
hasty and Impetuous way to the view
that he had made himself immortal
by refusing to he bound by antiquated
conventions.
Protestant ministers were for the
most part frankly bubbling. The Im
portant Catholic ecclesiastics decline
to express any opinion as to the mis
undering which prevented Pope Plus
IX. from receiving the colonel.
There was none of the "harsh and
bitter comment such as may excite
mistrust and anger" as Colonel Roose
velt seemed to apprehend when he
wrote the explanatory letter to the
Outlook. Hera and there the colonel
was girded for writing such a letter,
in the ground that it was calculated
more to stir up feeling than to smooth
it down. There was some comment
lso as to why Mr. Roosevelt, If he
lid not Intend to make a speech be
fore the Methodist brethren, could
not have assured the pope privately
or given a hint at least that nothing
in the nature of the Fairbanks epi
sode would occur.
There were a few who went so far
as to say that, the colonel never had
any serious Intention of being re
ceived by the pope and let himself out
ot a difiiculty with his usual astute
ness, avoiding offense to the Metho
dists and giving comparatively little
to the Catholics because of his Insist
ence only on independence of action.
