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.

S KISG VICTOTl
GUEST OFT. (. 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
