THE 3IOKXING OREGOXIAX, AATDXESDAY, APRIL 6, 1910. cr: ! !i H It CATHOLICS AWAIT FURTHER REPORTS Misunderstanding Is Believed to Have Brought About Vatican Incident. COMMENT NOW WITHHELD l ew Pastors of Protestant Cliurches Express Opinions Those Who do, Believe Ex-President Acted From Conscientious Motive. That some intimation, possibly false, had reached the Vatican that ex-Preo-clcnt Roosevelt proposed to address the Methodist College or otherwise to iden tify himself with what is an exclusively American institution seems to be the im pression prevailing in Portland Roman i'at nolle circles. No dignitary or priest interviewed "would consent to speak for publication pending further details of the incident. Hut, nevertheless, there was a very evident feeling that neither the Pope nor the ex-President would have taken his course of action unless there was infor mation in the background of which the public i not yet fully informed. While it 1b agreed the interview con reded by King "Victor ' Kmmanuel of Italy to the returning traveler might possibly have given cause for offense, there seems to be doubt whether the Pope was aware that Colonel Roosevelt would be received at the Quirinal when arranging for the audience. Inasmuch us ex-President Roosevelt asked for both receptions at the same time. It iwem6 possible that Cardinal Merry del Val was not aware that Mr. Roosevelt would be received by the King and the breach between church and etate is plill too recent for any official intercourse or mutual recognition. One suggestion made was that the Methodist College at Rome, believing that on his arrival In Home, tlie ex President would not refuse to address his fellow countryman had hinted the possibility of the event. This, reaching the ears of the papal advisers, had led to the stipulation in the telegram sent from Cardinal Merry del Val to Colonel Roosevelt, is thought a possible solution of the mystery. After the Fairbanks incident, it was felt that to avoid any after unpleasant ness, such as characterized the Fair banks' address to the Methodist Col lege, the only way. was for a plain statement to be made to Colonel Roose velt. That tiie ex-Precident . believed this message, in view of his "absolute refusal previously announced to lecture before the Methodists, to be impugning his good sense, and therefore he replied In the terms he did, that he would not be bound by any terms, was the intima tion learned from a well-informed Cath olic source last night. There was no doubt, it was said, that full information regarding the incident would be In the hands of every Catholic diocese in a short time. In the meantime the flood of opinion continues in favor of Roosevelt. Opin ions that Roosevelt is not the man to make careless blunders or tactless mis takes! easily predominate. "I have never seen Mr. Roosevelt do Anything that would destroy my confi dence In hte manliness or his judgment," was the only statement that could be elicited from Rev. Clarence True Wilson, pastor of the Centenary Methodist Church. Rev. C. T. McPhereon, pastor of jthe Kpworth Methodist Church, said: "I think Mr. Roosevelt Is all right In his attitude. I fully approve of his stand. It shows manliness on his part to oppose the Pope and to insist he will not allow the Poje, because of his high church po sition, to dictate to him what he shall or shall not do." Rev. A A. Morrison, rector of Trinity Church, said the matter was a personal one between Colonel Roosevelt and Pope Plus and he would not care to venture an opinion on the private affairs of any man. Rev. Henry Marcotte, of West minster Preslterian Church, would make no statement for publication. Bishop Scadding was out of town. Of the other ministers in Portland several would not be quoted, while others reiter ated that Colonel Roosevelt deserved .praise for standing tip for his convictions, whether those convictions were right or wrong. BURNS KILL TWO BABIES OXE FALLS INTO liOILIXG LAKD, v OTHER PLAYS BY BOXFII1E. Child oT Alfred Brugger iMtclios Into Grease; Elsie Castrow 1s Set on Fire. The lives of two little, children in different sections of the city were snuffed out by flames yesterday. One 2-year-old child was literally cooked to death when It tumbled backward into a large kettle of boiling grease In t he bakeshop of its father, in Lents. After lingering 12 hours between life and death as a result of burns re ceived while playing about a bonfire near her home, the 6-year-old daugh ter of a Lake street resident died at o'clock yesterday morning. Both deaths were Investigated by Conner Norden, who said Inquests would be unnecessary. Little 2-year-old Verna Brugger, the daughter of Alfred Brugger, a Swiss baker at 10S Xeison street, lived two hours after she bad fallen into a 10-gallon kettle of seething grease. Both her father and mother, who made a vain attempt to save her. were pain fully burned about the arms. So se rious are Brugger's Injuries it - is feared amputation may be necessary. Brugger's bakeshop Is next door to his home. Yesterday he was cooking doughnuts in a large kettle. About noon-' his wife, carrying the child In her arms, went from her apartments Into the bakeshop. It was the baby's second birthday. The young mother put the child on the floor, and Brug ger tur-eil to his doughnuts. He lifted the large kettle and set it In the cen ter of the room. While Brugger's back was turned the child toddled to tha steaming kettle. An instant later it tumbled In. The mother screamed and ran to the ket tle. Both parents thrust their bare hands and arms into the grease and lifted out the child, more dead than alive. Their cries aroused the neighbors, and Ir. J. C. McSloy was summoned. He could do nothing for the little' girl, but she lived two hours, dying at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Flnley undertaking establishment took . charge of the body. It J.C iLrou vfee baptUed thtt child Sunday, will officiate at Its funeral, which .will be held from the home of its parents 2 o'clock Wednes day afternoon. Elsie Castrow. 5 years of age. daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest A- Castrow, 555 Lake street, died yesterday morn ing as a result of burns she received while playing near a bonfire the day before. A heap of dried leaves had been lighted in the street and a dozen chil dren were playing about the' fire, Ernest Wilde, 11 years old, who resides directly across the street from the Cast row home, is said to have been in directly responsible for tiie burns suf fered hy the Castrow child. - Filling a tin can with excelsior and inflammables, he lighted it and swung .it over his head in a circle. The flimsy frock of the Castrow, child was struck by the tongues of fire and instantly Ignited. Her cries attracted several persons and the flames were beaten out. but not before the child had been seared from her feet to her shoulders. Or. J. E. Kane did what he could to save her life, but she was too badly injured. The body was turned over to the Holman Undertaking Company. O'GOIELL HOLDS TITLE .MI LTXOM AH MAX Til HOW'S CHI CAGO WUESTLER TWICE. Arter 61 Minutes of Mat Work, Welterweight Grapplers Fight to Finish, Visitor Losing. BY W. J. PETRAI.V. Before a fair-Hi zed crowd- at Merrill's Hall Monday night Eddie O'Connell, the premier wrtler of Portland, defeated Ted Tonneman, of Chicago, in two straight falls and thereby maintained his claim to the welterweight championship. O'Connell won the first fail in 4o minutes and the second in 21 minutes. Both falls were hotly contested and the loser was frequently the aggressor and at times threatened to place the local favor ite's shoulders to the mat. However, O'Connell, at the moments when he was seriously threatened with being downed,- would pull out of the dif ficult positions with some of the neat est wrestling tricks displayed on a local mat in some time, end on these occa sions he was greeteed with rounds of ap plause from his admirers, who were by no means shy at extending the glad hand to the visiting grappler whenever he came through with a clever stunt or an exhibi tion of strongth or skill. Tonneman is by long odds the best grappler whom it has been O'Connell's good fortune to meet in several months, and the Multnomah Club instructor is therefore entitled to considerable credit for his demonstration against the crack Chicago grappler. Tonneman is also a more equal match for O'Connell in the matter of weight, as he is of the same build as O'Connell and wrestles in much the same rtyle as the Portland favorite. Tonneman showed remarkable endur ance, while O'Connell displayed the more skill end agility. Still Tonneman repeat edly baffled Eddie when, he attempted to secure the famous toe hold, and would likewise squirm out of body scissors holds O'Connell attempted to fasten on him at repeated Intervals. So lively were these scrambles that the spectators were kept in a constant state of excitement over the possibility of a quick fall being scored as the result of one of these scrambles. At the end of 40 minutes O'Connell finally fastened a half Nelson hold on Tonneman, .which the latter, probably completely exhausted by the strenuous exercises of the earlier scrim mages, was unable to resist and he suc cumbed after a game struggle and O'Connell was declared the winner of the first fall. Both men rested the prescribed ten minutes and then resumed the bout, O'Connell taking the last fall in 21 minutes-. Tonneman announced that he had met a harder man than lie expected and chal lenged O'Connell to a return match. The Multnomah Instructor has .several matches in sight and is not anxious to close for a return match with Tonneman until he disposes of some of the chal lengers who are now on bis tra.il. St rangier Smith last night challenged O'Connell or Tonneman and hopes to get a match in a few days. Farewell of lambardis Is "La Boiieme" CAST.

AS a farewell offering this trip, the Lambardi Grand Opera Company gave us last night at the Bungalow Puccini's "La Boheme," then hurried to prepare for its railroad Journey to San Francisco, with performances en route at Medford, Or., and Chico, Cal. A fair-sized crowd turned out to "La Boh erne. "and enthusiastically applaud ed the fine performance given. The cast was an all-star Lambardi one, and principals, orchestra and chorus were a unit in ma k tag the rendition tiie very best heard this 'brief season of grand opera just finished. The Lam bardis were at their own Italian grand opera with words sung in that language, and naturally they scored heavily. When they went away the Lam bardis spoke with keen appreciation of the kind manner in which the different Portland audiences had received their operatic efforts, but said they regretted the poor financial return. It is be lieved that the receipts did not balance the expenses. A member of the com pany said: "The best towns in America for large audiences attending grand opera are New Orleans. San Francisco and Los Angeles. . largely clue to the 1 tall an -French music -loving element there, and because the people are bet ter spenders. "We look on Portland as a conservative place, in grand opera language. This is my candid opinion. It will probably be a long time before this city gets any more grand opera, for "It doesn't pay here." DEATH CAUSED BY SLIVER Oregon Young Woman . Injured; Blood Poison Follows. JEFFER50X. Or..

Beverldge have their way in the Republican convention which will name a state ticket here today no men tion of the Payne-Aldrich tariff or of the county local option law will be made in the platform. As Beveridge voted against the tariff measure, his friends are determined the convention shall not indorse It. While there is a sentiment among the delegates for an indorsement of the tariff law, there wag a disposition last night on the part of the stand-pat Re publicans to avoid a fight on the floor of the convention against the report of the committee on resolutions, which undoubtedly will contain no mention of the measure. There is a strong- element demanding the local option law, which was passed by the Republicans at a special ses sion of the Legislature, be indorsed, but it is the plans of the friends of Senator Beveridge, who will undoubt edly be in control of the convention, to make no mention of it. It is expected ex-Governor J. Frank Hanly, who called the special session, of the Legislature that enacted the option measure, will lead the fight for an indorsement of it.

Falling from his biplane at a height of 80 feet into the waters of San Francisco Bay, Frank Johnson, aviator, was nearly drowned late this afternoon a mile off the Alameda shore, from which he had started his flight. For several minutes it seemed that the aviator had been lost beneath the water. His mother and wife, who wit- j nessed the accident, were overcome. j As the machine settled In the water, Johnson could be seen by the several ; hundred spectators swimming toward shallow water. Two . men in a skiff put out to his aid, and he was taken from the water and rowed to the club house. The machine, which was being rapidly carried away by the tide, was recov ered and towed to the marshes. Johnson explained that one of the propellers failed to respond as he was about to make a sharp turn and the ship was given a sudden . downward pitch that he could not overccjne by use of the steering apparatus. The accident occurred on the twelfth flight jot the afternoon. NEW AUTO TAKES FIRE Car Partly Consumed in Garage on lay of Its Arrival. Fire partially consumed a newly arrived automobile in the garage of the White Motor Car Company, at Sixth and Madison streets, at midnight last night.

It cost Frank Peoples, a soldier from Vancouver Barracks, $20 in fines yesterday morning in the Munlcipa Court to have run amuck in this city on Sunday. He was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and the testimony showed that he had attempted to carry things, on with a high hand along the streets of the North Knd until his ar- . rest cut short his boisterous career. Witnesses said that Peoples walked along the street throwing the hats of inof fending passersby into the gutter eceive and assaulting- those who endeavored to remonstrate with him. He finally tackled a crippled man who was smoking a pipe. He knocked the pipe down the defenseless crip- pie's throat, and this ruthless act so aroused the bystanders ' at Second and Burnside streets that a number of them pounced upon the bully and held him for the police.

Beta napthol is a most powerful, yet abso lutely safe germicide and antiseptic, which prevents development of germ matter, and creates a clean, healthy condition. Pilocarpine, although not a coloring matter or dye, is an ingredient well es tablished for its power to restore na tural color to human hair. Borax, because of its well-defined softening and cleansing properties, is most useful in the treatment of scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a soothing, healing and nourishing in fluence. Alcohol Is indispensable in medicine because of its antiseptic, stim ulating and preservative qualities.
