POPE DISPLEASED WITH SECT
Recalls Invitation for Audience
to ex-Vice-President.
TROUBLE THREE-CORNERED
Call on King Arranged for Saturday,
on Pope for Monday, With Talk,
to Methodists Sandwiched on
Sunday Proselyting Galls.
ROME. Feb. 6. The visit to Rome of
Charles W. Fairbanks, ex-Vice-President
of the United States, brought about a.
delicate situation because of the .fact
that he wished to pay his respects to the
Kinp, to the Pope, and to the American
Methodist Church.
By a tactful arrangement Mr. Fair
banks' audience with King Victor
Emanuel was fixed for Saturday and that
with the Pope for Monday. But when
everything seemed satisfactorily planned
the Vatican announced that it would be
impossible for .his holiness to receive the
ex-Vice-President if he carried out hia
Intention of speaking in the American
Methodist Church here,- because the
Methodists had be'n active in proselyting
among the Catholics.
Attempt Made to Avoid Hitch.
Negotiations were" immediately begun
to avoid any unpleasantness and in these
negotiations prominent Vatican officials
exerted every Influence to remove the dif
ficulties that had unexpectedly presented
themselves to Mr. Fairbanks audience
with the Pope.
Rut Mr. Fairbanks finally declared that,
although he was animated by a strong
desire to pay his respects to the head of
the Catholic Church, he couldnot vwlth-
draw from his promise to deliver an ad
dress before the American Methodist
Church. "
Dinner by Catholic College.
Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the American
College (Catholic), gave a dinner at noon
in honor of Mr. Fairbanks. The hall was
decorated with American flags. Among
those present were 144 American students.
Mr. Fairbanks, in rising, gave a toast
to the Christian church, making no dis
tinction of denomination. He declared
that the Catholic Church had accom
plished great things for God and - hu
manity, while past prejudices against the
Catholics had entirely dlsapeared, for
they were ever at the front when the
integrity of the country needed to be
defended or its dignity to be upheld.
Speech to Methodist Important.
At the American Methodist Church Mr.
Fairbanks' address acquired exceptional
Importance, because of the incident with
the Vatican, and it is looked upon as his
final answer to the conditions imposed
upon him relative to his audience with
the Pope. Mr. Fairbanks saids
'It is impossible to emphasize too
strongly the good work the Christian
church is doing in all lands, and amongst
all nationalities. It is gratifying that
the American churches established in all
countries are asserting a wider influence
today than ever in their history.
Christianity Is democratic.
"The agitation groingr on in the polit
ical, social and economic worlds is due
o Christianity breaking down the castes
and prejudices and lifting mankind to a
higher plane. The democratic idea taking
root in political institutions is due to the
expanding influence of Christianity.
"All Christian churches are worthy of
support. Let the Catholics and the
Protestants of all denominations vie in
carrying forward the work of the Mas
ter which is worthy of the best in them
all.''

Alleged Sales of Liquor In Omaha
After Hours to Be Brought
Before Governor.
LINCOL.X, Neb., Feb.' 6. (Special.)
The Nebraska Anti-Saloon League has
filed . a complaint with Mayor Dahlman
and members of the excise board at
Omaha charging violations of the state
law in that city and promising to make
formal complaint to Governor Shallen
berger if alleged sales after hours con
tinue. Two months ago Mayor Dahlman and
others were summoned to appear before
the Governor and explain why they had
permitted hot el bars and saloons to re
main open after 8 o'clock. Denial was
then made that law violations were con
nived at by municipal authorities.
Nebraska statutes permit the Governor
to begin ouster proceedings against any
municipal officer who is negligent in his
enforcement of the law. -
Proof of the more recent alleged trans
gressions have not yet been filed with
Governor Shallenberger and there is
speculation as to the course he will pur
sue. Complaint places the Governor in
an embarrassing position from the fact
that Mayor Dahlman is his most prom
inent rival for Democratic nomination for
Governor, and while members of the
Anti-Saloon League have been applaud
ing the Governor's activity in prosecuting
law violations, they have lost no oppor
tunity in opposing Mayor Dahlman's po
litical aspirations.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 6. (Special.)
Her distrust of the savings banks and
her confidence m the strength of her
stocking as a depository for her life-time
savings, amounting to $1160, has caused
Mrs. Thomas McNallen, a widow with
three small children, to lose her fortune.
Mrs. McNallen, who now ridicules her
own scorn of banks, appealed to the po
lice today to assist her in recovering
possession of her lost wealth.
As she stepped from a car at Sixth

Deadlock Is Possible on Question of

Bill Making Railway Land
Taxable Finds Favor.
BY HARRY J. BROWN.
OREGONIAN" NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 4. Congress is not groins
to give President Taft everything- he
has asked for in the way of conserva
tion legislation, but a part of the Ad
ministration programme will be car
ried through, in spite of more or less
serious opposition that is expected to
be raised. Just how far Congress will
go cannot be determined at this time,
for the committees handling the con
servation bills have had little oppor
tunity for discussing the bills intro
duced at the request of Secretary Bal
linger. The disposition, however, is to
give the President as much legislation
as meets with popular approval, and
tiie support of the East is depended
upon to carry some of the measures to
passage.
President's Programme Ready.
The President wants Congress to
pass:
1. A bill to classify the public do
main. 2. A bill authorizing temporary with
drawals of public lands for various
public purposes.
3. A bill for the conservation of
water-power sites. v "
4. A bill providing for the disposal of
coal and asphaltum lands.
5. A bill providing - for the disposal
or use of oil, gas and phosphate lands.
6. A bill providing for the separate
disposal of public timber and timber
lands.
7. A bill authorizing the issuance of
$30,000,000 worth of irrigation bonds or
certificates of indebtedness.
8. A bill authorizing the assignment
of entries on Government irrigation
projects.
9. A bill making immediate survey of
lands in railroad grants.
10. A bill to survey lands in Alaska.
A start has been made toward put
ting through the President's programme,
the Senate committee on Public Lands,
after several weeks of deliberation, hav
ing reported favorably the bill authoriz
ing the temporary withdrawal of public
lands. The bill was amended, however,
so as to confer this power exclusively
upon the President, instead of reposing it
in the Secretary of the Interior, as was
suggested. Senator Heyburn and Senator
Clark of Wyoming bitterly opposed the
bill in committee, and probably will
renew their fight In the Senate, but the
force of the administration, backed by

ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 6. (Special.)
Efforts of the city and county authori
ties working on the "mystery of the 40
murders," as the Goh case is spoken
of here, today centered upon two point?.
the search for the body of John Hoff
man and the effort to trace the move
ments of two men, one of whom is eaid
to be Gohl'e brother.
These two men tre wanted by the au
thorities so that the case against Gohl
may be made complete. It is believed that
they can throw much light upon the iark
doings that, have happened in the foggy
nights along the southern shore of the
harbor. One of these men. It is feared,
has gone to Canada, or Mexico. .
Man With $4 00 Disappears.
Inquiry today developed the fact that
Hoffman drew $400 which he had on de
posit at the Hayes & Hayes Bank on
December 20. He said at that time that
he was going to spend some of it for
Christmas presents and would then leave
town. Two days later he was seen with
.Gohl and William Hedberg, and the
.police believe that he was taken to the
now famous hunting shack, robbed and
murdered. Hedbergr. they think, wit
ne&sed this crime and4he theory is that
Gohl killed him -t a ju: q tc U hi m s -1 f .
Special deputies are continuing their
search of the shallow parts of the har

it-furnishes evidence of : robbery or if it
is bare of clothing the officers believe
they will have a case that will .stand
test in court.
Gobi's Brother Sought.
Of the two men being sought, the one
believed to be GohTs brother was known
as "Bud" Johnson. The authorities will
not divulge the name of the other man.
Johnson, it is said, was brought here by
Gohl, and was one of the party of from
four to six that spent almost their en
tire time on the hunting scow or on boats
owned by Cohl. These men are alleged
by the police to- have been closely asso
ciated with Gohl. It is believed by the
police that this gang was not particularly
active in the crimes of which Gohl is
suspected, however.
Chief Dean, of The local police, de
nied absolutely today that United
States Secret Service men were assist
ing the local officers in the case, en
deavoring to prove Gohl implicated in
smuggling. The only vessels coming
to this .point from the Orient or from
