Former President Will Not
Accept Conditions Imposed
by Vatican.
Declines Audience With Pope Pius
When he Learns That as Condition
to Invitation he Must Refuse to
Address Methodist College Feels
no Personal Animosity But Must
Retain His Own Liberty of Action
Colonel and Kcrmlt Have Inter
view With King.
Rome, April 4. King Emmanuel
today granted a two hour Interview to
President Roosevelt. The nature of
the conversation was not divulged,
but It is believed the Vatican incident
was discussed. Kermlt Roosevelt was
also granted an audience. The audi
ence which it was believed Roosevelt
would have witn the pope tomorrow,
will not take place owing to the re
striction placed upon the former presi
dent by the Vatican that he refrain
from addressing Methodists while in
Rome. Although It Is believed Roose
velt had no engagement to visit the
Methodist college, he deemed It a
curb upon his liberty and refused to
accept the invitation. The incident
has caused a tremendous sensation.
A similar situation arose some time
ago when ex-Vice President Fairbanks
was denied an audience with the Pope
because he had accepted an invitation
to address the Methodist college.
After leaving the palace, Roosevelt
was driven to the Pantheon where he
placed wreaths on the tombs of King
Emanuel, Victor and Humbert A
throng lined the course of the Roose
velt party. While reading his mall
at the hotel Doctors Typle and Clark
of the Methodist college called to pay
their respects to Roosevelt and warm
ly congratulated the colonel on his at
titude. Roosevelt His Own Boss.
While at Oondokoro in February
last Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Ambassa
dor Lelshman, saying he would be
glad of the honor of an audience with
King Victor Emmanuel and the pope.
The audience with the king was
promptly arranged. Before an ar
rangement could be reached relative
to an audience with the pope, several
telegrams were passed and the nego
tiations were ended by Mr. Roose
velt's refusing in any way to be lim
ited as to his conduct, and announce
Ing that an audience with the pope
under the circumstances was now Im
possible. As a matter of fact Mr. Roosevelt,
while declining to accept any condi
tions in connection with his audience
with the pope, had neither directly
nor Indirectly before, during or after
the negotiations, made or considered
any engagements In Rome except
those of an offlclnl character, and he
actually entered Rome lost night with
but two definite engagements, the au
dience with the king and the dinner
to be given In his honor by the munl
' clpallty. .
"The entire affair is a closed Inci
dent," said Roosevelt this afternoon,
referring to the Vatican matter "The
course I followed was the only on
open to m." Foreign diplomats who
have been Interviewed here, take the
same view of the affair. None of the
high dignitaries of the Catholic church
would Issue a formal statement but
seemed Inclined to blame Roosevelt
for not acquiescing in the pope's de
sire to discriminate in a matter of

DAYTON "WETS" WANT
ANOTHER ELECTION
Dayton, Wash. Two elections in
the last 15 months have failed to set
tle the saloon question here and now
the "wets" will agitate an election on
local option at the general election
November 8. . Local option laws of
this state provide that a special elec
tion does not bar another election in
November, and the "wets," aware of
this, hope to overcdme the small "dry"
majority of last Tuesday, 17 votes, and
to secure a return to the grog shops.
The "drys" have won both times be
fore. If it requires a petition based on
one third of the voters at the last city
election, only 12 names will be re
quired to secure the election. Both
"wets" and "drys" claim a majority
out of the vote cast at Tuesday's elec
tion. Over 171 voters failed to vote
then. Other questions are whether
or not candidates for office shall be
required to pledge themselves .o
either side.
SON OF NEW YORK
BANKER A STOWAWAY

the son of a Watertowri, N. Y.. bank
er, .was discovered as a stowaway on
the stamer Prinzessin Cecile when
that steamer was 400 miles out from
New York on her present voyage. His
presence on the steamer was reported
when she called at this port. It was
stated that Camp would be landed at
Cherbeurg.
According to the captain of the ves
sel. Camp said he had quarreled with
his father and, having no funds, he
decided to try to reach England,
where he would seek work. When
discovered he became despondent and
threatened suicide. Because of this
a constant watch has been kept on
him by the captain. ,
KI SSIAXS IN HAWAII
MAY NOT MAKE GOOD
Honolulu. The cripis is at hand as
regards the immigration of Russians
to Hawaii. Within the next few days
it will be definitely decided whether
the campaign to secure Russian immi
grant from Manchuria for the Ha
waiian sugar plantations shall con
tinue or cease. A committe composed
ot newly arrived Russians is investi
gating the plantations in Oahu. They
win mane a report to their country,
men. If they then decide to go to
work there no action will be taken
to deport them. Later If they Drove
to be good workers It is probable that
the importations from Manchuria,
now at a standstill, will be continued.
If the Russians decide not to work
on the plantations they will become
public charges. This means that they
will be returned to Manchuria on the
next outbound steamer.
