TTIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, APRIL 1910. TWO PERSONAGES PARTICIPATING IN ROOSEVELT'S ENTERTAINMENT AT ROME AND TWO FAMOUS INCONSISTENT IS CfiY OF VATICAN SHOW PLA CES THERE. mLTHAM WATCHES Roosevelt, as President, Once The Authentic - American 'Watch Refused Audience, Says Merry Del Val. t QUESTION NOT OF RELIGION Visitor Might Go to Any Other Church in Home Except Meti (tist, Says Cardinal, and No Offense Would Result. HOME, April 3. The failure to ar range, an audience between ex-Prea! Sent TtooseveH and the Pope, which was known only in certain circles to day, Is expected to create a tremendous tlr here as well as abroad, far over- Bthadowing- the Importance' of the in cldent in which . ex-Vice-President Fairbanks was the principal. Althougrh.. the negotiations were con ducted., between Ambassador Lei ah man and MonKig-nor Kennedy, it is well un derstood In Rome that Monstynor Kennedy was acting under the instruc tlons-of Cardinal Merry del Val. 'me telegrams therefore were in reality be t ween ex-President Roosevelt and the Papal Secretary of State. When the correspondent called at the Vatican tonight great surprise was expressed when - it was learned that Mr. Royaevelt had given out the text of the messages exchanged by Mon stgnor Kennedy and the American Am bassador, as they were regarded by the Vatican in the light, of diplomatic documents History of Negotiations Told. Monslgnor Kennedy explained that on March V1 John W. Garrett, first secre tary of the Kmbasey, called upon him to "transmit" Mr. Roosevelt's request for an audience with the Pontiff on April 5. He said that - Mr. Garrett insisted upon the word "transmit.'. Monsignor Ken nedy informed the secretary that hV im mediately would present the request to the proper Vatican authorities and prom ised a response as soon as possible. "The following day," said Monsignor Kennedy, "I was authorized to send Mr. Roosevelt the first message, which is quoted in his statement. The reference to the Fairbanks Tncldent in the message was intended by the Vatican only as a friendly intimation. I notice that my second message Is 'not fully given. It ran thus: Text of Second Message. " 'His Holiness will bn much pleased to grant an audience to Mr. Roosevelt, for whom he entertains groat esteem, both personally and as President of the United States. His Holiness quite recognizes Mr. Roosevelt's entire right as to freedom of eonduct. On the other hand, in view of the circumstanced, for which neither His Holiness nor Mr. Roosevelt is responsible, an audience couht not occur except upon the understanding expressed in the former message.' "After this no further communication reached me from Mr. Roosevelt." It further appears that John Call an O'l-oughlin, who was Assistant Secre tary of State in 1S99 and a great per sonal friend of Mr. Roosevelt, yester day attempted to Intercede with Car dinal Merry del Val. The following semi-official version of what transpired at that interview has been furnished to the Associated Press by Vatican au thority. O'ljaiiKliIin Tries Intercession. "Cardinal Merry del Val said to Mr. O'ljouprhlln: 'Can you guarantee that Mr. Roosevelt will not visit the Metho dists Iiere7 "Mr. O TiOughlln replied: 'I cannot, In fleed. I believe Mr. Hoosovelt Is Just the man to go there. Ho ' will do as he lileases.' " 'It la Indefensible, ' said the papal secretary, 'for any person to be asked to he recel veil by a great personage whose foellngs he would be unwilling to respect. " In the course of further conversation the cardtnal declared no court in Eu rope granted unrestricted audiences. "Mr. Roosevelt," said .the Cardinal 'when he was President declined to re ceive persons unconditionally at the "White House." Roosevelt Refused Audience. Without giving the name of the per ron, the Cardinal ' recalled a case where President Roosevelt, having been erro neously Informed that a certain person was visiting him by the authority of the Vatican, immediately sent a cabinet of lloer to the apostolic delegate at Wash ington to inform the delegate he could not receive this personage, but he meant no diwourtei-y to the Pope by his re fusal. The Pontiff, when informed of this, replied: "I esteem President Roose velt more thin ever." Keturning to fhe present incident, Car U1n:!t Merry del. Val. remarked: '"It U not In any sense a question .of religion. Mr. Rxisevelt might have gone to an Kpiscirpalian.' a Presbyterian or any other church except the Methodist and delivered an address there and ho would have, been received by the Pope even on the same day.s But he coutfi not he received when it was suspected that after the audience he intended to go to the Methodist Church In Rome, which is carrying on' a most offerrsive campaign pf calumny and detraction against the Pontiff." ... ... . . - Kina! Mwsatce Not Head. The papal secretary even recognized Mr. Roosevelt's rlht to claim the priv ilege of visiting the MethodLsts the day Bfter the audience, on condition that he. Merry del Val receive private -assurances that he would tactfully do so. The Vatican emphasizes tfce statement it did not receive from the American Embasy any notification - of Mr. Roosevelt's final message that an audience had become Impossible. .After being apprised of the con tents of the Vatican's statement, it was explained on Mr. Roosevelt's be half that his final message had not been read to the Vatican because Mon Flgnor Kennedy's second telegram was ail of the matter so far as he was concerned, but that he wished to keep the door open, not for his own sake, but for the sake of the Catholic Church In America. When Mr. O Loughlin came to Rome it was with the distinct understanding that he did not do so in Mr. Roosevelt's tiehalf. but in behalf of his co-rell-glonlsts in. America and that he did . not carry any authorization to sub tract or add a word to Mr. Roosevelt's position as defined by his telegram to Monsignor Kennedy.

(Continued from Paj?e l.J Lelahman on March 25, Mr. Roosevelt said: - "Please present the following to Mgr. Kennedy: 'It would be a real pleasure to me to be presented to the Holy Father, for whom I enter tain 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 he does not receive me I shall not for a moment question the pro priety of his action On the other hand, I, in my' turn, decline to make any stipulations or submi to any con ditions which in any way would limit my freedom ' of conduct. I trust on April 5 he will find it convenient to receive me. " On March 28 Mr. Roosevelt, at Cairo, received a' cable message from Ambassa dor Leishmaji giving the message from Monsignor Kennedy, which concluded by saying: The audience cannot take place ex cept on the understanding expressed in the former message." The following day Mr. Roosevelt ent another message to the American Am bassador, saying: "The proposed presentation is, of course, impossible." ' Mr. ft'oosevelt particularly desired the incident shall be regarded by his friends, both Catholic and Protestant, in Amer ica, as personal, and that it shall not give rie to acrimonious feeling. With this end in view, he cabled today the following statement to Rev. Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook, at New York: "Through the Outlook I wish to make a statement o my fellow Americans re garding what has occurred in connec tion with the Vatican. I am sure that the great majority of my fellow citizens Catholics quite as much as Protestants will fel that I acted in the only way possible for an American to act, anS because of this very fact I most earn estly hope that the incident will be treated in a matter-of-course way, aa merely pensonai, and above all, as not warranting the slightest exhibition of rancor or bitterness. Many Friends Are Catholic. "Among my best and closest friends are many Catholics. The respect and regard of those of my fellow American who are Catholics are as dear to me as 'the respect and regard of those who are Protectants. On my - journey through Africa I visited many Catholics as well as many Protestant missions. As I look forward to telling the people . at home all that h&a been done by Protestants and Catholics alike, as X saw it. In the field of missionary endeavor, it would cause me a real pang to have anything said or done that would hurt or give pain to my friends, whatever their re ligious belief. But my merely personal considerations are of no consequence in this matter. The important considera tion is the avoidance of harsh and bitter comment such as may excite mistrust and anger between . and among good men. "The more an American eees of other countrie9 the mbre profound must be his feelings of gratitude fhat in his wn land there ia not merely complete toler ation, but the heartiest of good will and sympathy between sincere and honest men of different - faiths good will and sympathy, so complete that in the in numerable daily relations of our Amer ican life. Catholics and Protestants meet together, and work together without thought of the difference of creed being even present in their minds. "This is a condition so vital to our material well-being that nothing could be permitted to jeopardize it. Bitter comment and criticism, acrimonious at tack and defense, are not only profitless but harmful, and to seize upon such an Incident as, this as an occasion for con troversy would be wholly indefensible vand should be frowned upon by Cath olics and Protestants alike and all good Americans.' ? Police Are Circumvented. Although measures had been taken by the police to. prevent a large gathering inside the railroad station at the time of the arrival of the Roosevelt party, many Americans and prominent Italians managed to find a way to circumvent these precautions and the depot was well filled when the ex-President made his appearance at the door of the car. Mayor Xathan and Slgnor Bollati greeted Colonel Roosevelt, as eUso did Ambassador Leishman and the . other members of the American embassy A detachment of carbineers-and a large force of police made a pathway to the train from the station. The ex-President was given the same honors as the mem bers of the royal families when, they visit the Italian capital. Colonel Roosevelt smilingly responded to the warm greetings with which he was received on all sides and he shook hands with many of those about him. The streets to the hotel were lined with spectators and Colonel Roosevelt and his family were cheered as they proceeded In carriages.

DIES Noted Missionary Dead 24 Hours After . Luncheon. SAD ENDING TO LONG LABOR Dr. . "Koderic Irosch, Lutheran French Minister, Taken by Fever, Buried by Catholics Talked With Roosevelt' on Religion. 1 GONDOKORd, Soudan, Saturday, March 12. One of the most pathetic in cidents connected with the visit of Colonel Roosevelt to Africa was the death! of the Rev. Dr. Roderic Prosch, a French missionary, who was returning home to end hie days in- peace. Er. Prosch was tae guest of Colonel Roosevelt at lunch eon Jdarch 1, apparently in good health, but the next day he "was dead. The steamer Dal, with the Roosevelt party aboard,- had left Gondokoro, which is probably the most uninteresting, hot and dusty place in all the land. A native came running down the street, saying that his master was dying. A physician answered the call, bled the missionary, as the only means of saving his life, but too late. This was the ead ending to ten and one-half years of missionary work In the unhealthful Zambesi country of North west Rhodesia. Arrangements for the funeral were made and a sunset eight natives carried the body to its last resting place, under the shade, of "the trees where his tent had stood. . A rough coffin was made of packing cases and a blanket was wrapped around the form. Inquiry developed sthat one of those who gathered at the grave were of the same religion as Dr. Prosch and, curious ly enough, all the whites were Catholics. One of the newspaper correspondents consented to read the Church of Eng land burial service. Only the previous day at lunch Dr. Prosch and Colonel Roosevelt- discussed the question of religious tolerance and they had agreed that there should be no intolerance. Fate ordained - that Dr. Prosch hou!d be buried by Roman Cath- t olics 24 hours later, although he him- J self was a Lutheran. ' This death and the. fact that almost j every one else had suffered from ma- j la rial fever served again to call partic- ' ular attention to the marvelous health ; Colonel Roosevelt and his son enjoyed t throughout the expedition. They did not j have one day's illness; while a number of j the party were attacked several times, I The achievements of Colonel Roosevelt ' and Kermit were marvelous. They have ehot close to 500 large mammals, the finest collection of African mammals, ; birds and reptiles tnat nag ever been made. The naturalists secured specimens numbering not lesm than 11.000.
