PONTIFF WOULD AVOID REPETI
TION FAIRBANDS INCIDENT.
CONDITIONS ARE DECLINED
Ex-Prestdent Urges Catholic as Well
as Protestant Friends In America
Not to Magnify Occurrence.
ROME, April 3. The audience
which it was believed that ex-President
Roosevelt would have, with the
Pope did not take place, owing to
conditions which the Vatican imposed
and which Mr. Roosevelt .refused to
accept
At Cairo Mr. Roosevelt received the"
following telegram from Ambassador
Leishman, dated March 23:
"Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the
American Catholic College, in reply
to an inquiry which I caused to be
made, requests the following commu
nication be transmitted to you: 'The
Holy Father will be delighted to grant
an audience to Mr. Roosevelt on
April 5 and hopes that nothing will
arise to prevent, such as the much
regretted incident which made the re
ception of Mr. Fairbanks impossible'."
Declines to Accept Conditions.
Replying by cable to Ambassador
Leishman on March 25, Mr. Roose
velt said:
"It would be a real pleasure to me
to be presented to the Holy Father,
for whom I entertain 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 rea
son that seems good to him, and if
he does not receive me I shall not for
a moment question the propriety oi
his action. On the other hand, I.
In my turn, decline to make any stip
ulations or submit to any conditions
which In any way would limit my
freedom of conduct."
On March 28 Mr. Roosevelt received
a cable message from Ambassador
Leishman, which concluded by say
ing: "The audience cannot take place ex
cept on the understanding expressed
in the former message." To which
Mr. Roosevelt replied:
"The proposed presentation is, of
nourse, impossible.
Mr. Roosevelt particularly desired
the incident shall be regarded by his
friends, both Catholic and Protestant,
in America as personal, and cabled a
statement to The Outlook at New
York, in which he said:
"Through The Outlook I wish to
make a statement to my fellow Amur
cans regarding what has occurred in
connection with the Vatican. I am
sure that the great majority of my
'ellow citizens Catholics quite as
much as Protestants will feel that
I acted in the only way possible tor
an American, to act, and because of
this very fact I most earnestly hope
that the Incident will be treated in
a matter-of-course way, as merely
personal, and above all, as not war
ranting the slightest exhibition of ran
cor or bitterness.
' Many Friends Are Catholics.
"Among my best and closest friends
are many Catholics. The respect and
regard of those of my fellow Amer
icans who are Catholics are as dear
to me as the respect and regard of
those wht are Protestants." ;
In speaking of the incident, Cardi
nal Merry del Val, papal secretary of
state, is reported to have said:
. "It is not in any sense a question
of religion. Mr. Roosevelt might have
gone to an Episcopalian, a Presbyte
rian or any other church except the
Methodist, and delivered an address
there, and he would have been re
ceived by the Pope, even on the same
day. But he could not be received
when it was suspected that after the
audience he intended to go to the
Methodist Churchy in Rome, which is
carrying on a most offensive cam
paign of calumny and detraction
against the Pontiff."

BOND ISSUE IS UNCERTAIN
Reclamation Officials Not in Sym

WASHINGTON, D. C. A . new
stumbling block in the way of the
$30,000,000 reclamation bond issue bill
has arisen. The officials of the Re
clamation Service, in testimony be
fore the Balllnger-Pinchot committee
and before the ways and means com
mittee, where the bill Is now pending,
damned the bill by faint praise. Di
rector ' Newell and Chief Engineer
Davis are not enthusiastic over the
legislation; in fact at no time really
have urged its passage, jhough, un

they could to advantage use more
money In a season than is available
out of the regular reclamation fund.
The objection to the bill will be

SAYS CHARGES ARE FALSE
Investigating Committee Summon
Alaskan Official Reported to Have
. Had Bribe Offer to Testify.
WASHINGTON, D. C Secretary
Balllnger has announced that he will
bring suit against Collier's Weekly
for the derogatory articles concern
ing him which are appearing In that
publication.
The statement that he intends seek
ing redress through the courts was
made in discussing the article In the
current issue of Collier's, headed "Bal
llnger, Shyster," In which the Secre
tary of the Interior Is accused of an
"unpardonable breach of professional '
honor".
The article In the magazine pre
sents chargest against Mr. Balllnger
in connection with his action as at
torney several years ago for Heck
mann ft Hansen, shipbuilders at Se
attle. It is charged that the referee of the
Federal Court appointed by Judge C.
H. Hanford, who is described as a
close friend of Mr. Balllnger, "white
washed" the Secretary of the, Inter
ior and the other attorneys concerned.
Later, it was said, Jerold L. Finch,
attorney for Heckmann & Hansen in
the latter proceedings, filed petition
In Judge Hanford's' court, asking for
the disbarment of Mr, Balllnger and
the other attorneys. It was referred
to the Bar Association, whloh, It was
charged, ' "whitewashed" Mr. Ballln
ger, but refused to take any action
against Finch.
Exoneration Is Complete.
In refutation of these charges, Mr.
Balllnger exhibited certified copies ot
the proceedings In the Federal Court
In Seattle, In which he was exoner
ated by Judge Hanford, the master
In chancery and a committee of the
Federal Bar Association ' ot the
charges preferred by Finch. '
The activity of Collier's Weekly
on behalf of Former Chief Forester
Glfford PInchot was brought forcibly
to the attention of the Balllnger- Plu
chot Congressional committee wheu
II. K. Love testified that John W.
Dudley, former Register of the Land
Office at Juneau, Alaska, told him
last February In Juneau that Colliers
had Intimated to him "that it wouM
be worth from $5000 to $10,000 ti
him to go to Washington and testify."
Although Mr. Love told the commlv
tee he had not previously mentioned
the convereation to anybody because
he feared Dudley might have miscon
strued what Collier's bad said 'o him,
the committee was unanimous In' the
decision that Dudley should come
here from Alaska to tell about It A
uhpena 'will be Issued for him at
once.
"Did you understand Colliers wai
trying to bribe Dudley to testify?''
Inquired Representative Madison.
"No, I merely understand . .! -.
wanted Mm to come here to tell the
truth," answered the witness, explain
ing that Dudley had been "let out,"
as Register of the Land Office and
that be had declared his intention
of going to Washington to clear his
record. '
