Rome, April 7. Before leaving
Rome, ex-President Roosevelt had
reason to believe that a great triumph
was his, as the attitude of the Vati
can toward him and the statement of
the Methodists, which he had con
demned, were repudiated by .leading
adherents of those two Institutions.
Abbot Lawrence Pansens, one of
the most learned of the Benedictines,
and secretary of the congregation of
affairs of religions, called on Mr.
Roosevelt last evening and not find
ing him left his cartl, on which he
wrote In French that he desired to
congratulate him for the constant sup
port given to his order and the Cath
olic church In general in America dur
ing Mr. Roosevelt's "glorious career"
as president, which he hoped soon
would be resumed.
At the same time, Mr. Roosevelt
received orders from relatives of high
prelates and cardinals, condemning
what tliry styled the "personal atti
tude of Cardinal Merry del Vul. for
which neither the pope nor the Cath
olic church was responsible."
On the other hand Mr. Roosevelt
received the following letter from Dr.
Walling Clerk, head of the Methodist
organization In Italy:
"The Incident connected with the
article written by the Rev. B. M. Tip
ple fur the American Press has caus
ed me untold regret. I was not aware
the article was written or sent until
Tuesday afternoon, when it was
brought to me-by a newspaper cor
respondent with the statement which
you gave out on Tuesday morning.
"If I had known Mr. Tipple's In
tention, I certainly should have used
ali my Influence to prevent it. Let
me assure you the Methodists of Rome
were not responsible for the article.
Allow me once more to express my
admiration for the courageous position
you have taken In the face of the de
mands of the Vatican. Methodists of
Home will not forget It."
On Second Honeymoon."
Spezla. Italy. April 7. Col. Roose
velt and Mrs. Roosevelt today began
their "second honeymoon." The fam
ous American and his wife arrived
here from Rome this morning and
after a brief rest, they started for Ge
noa. From Genoa they will take the
train to Porto Maurizio, where they
will spend three days, and will then
return to Genoa, before proceeding to
Vienna. During the trip they will
travel over the country which they
visited on their honeymoon 24 years
ago. The Journey from Rome was
made In a special car.
Before Roosevelt started for Genoa
he promised to telegraph a brief ac
count of his movements dally to the
newspaper correspondents, yfho will
rejoin him April IS.
"I will promise you alBO," said the
colonel, smiling, "I will not waste any
telegraph tolls. When I see you again
I will turn over to you boys all my
hotel vouchers so you may know I
have been playing fair with you."
The Roosevelts left Rome near mid
night last night. The station was
crowded with American and Italians,
who had come to bid him farewell.
The colonel made a short speech In
which he thanked the people for their
hospitality.
