ROME, April 3. The audience
which It was believed that ex-Presl-dent
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
Lelabman on Marcn z&, Mr. noose-
vejt said:
It would be a real pleasure to me
to be presented to me noiy rawei,
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 of
his actlonv.. . Jpn . the other, hand, L
!n 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
course. 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: , ,
"Throueh The Outlook I wish to
make a statement to my follow Amer
icans regarding what has occurred in
connection with the Vatican. I am
sure that the great majority of my
fellow citizens Catholics quite as
much as Protes'.ants will feel that
I acted In the only way possible for
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. . '
Man 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 who 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 be could not be received
when It was suspected that after -the
'audience he intended to go to the
Methqdist Cburcb In Rome, which is
carrying on a most offensive cam
paign of calumny and detraction
against the Pontiff."

BONO ISSUE IS UNCERTAIN
Sym-
Reclamation Officials Not In
pathy With Movement.
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 Ballinger-Plnchot 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, though, un
der examination, they have admitted
they could to advantage itse more
money in a season than is available
out of. the regular reclamation fund.
The objection to the bill will be
based largely on the assertion of ex
Secretary Garfield, that the money Is
not needed, and on the testimony of
Newell and Davis to the effect that
other expedients can be relied upon
to hasten the construction of Govern
ment projects.
"Bucket Shop" Men Indicted.

WASHINGTON, D. C Secretary
Balllnger has announced that he will
bring Buit against Collier's Weekly
for the derogatory articles concern
ing him which are appearing In thai
publication.
The statement that he Intends seek
ing redress through the courts was
made In discussing the article in tn
ourrent Issue of Collier's, headed "Bal-.
linger, Shyster," In which the Secre
tary of the Interior Is accused of an
"unpardonable breach of professional
honor".
' The article in the magaslne 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 aa 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 ft Hansen In
th1 latter proceedings, filed a petition
Id Judge Hanford's court, asking for
the disbarment of Mr. Balllnger and
the other attorneys. It was referred
to the "Bar Association, which, It was
charged, "whitewashed" Mr. Ballln
ger, but refused to take any action
against Finch. . ,. , .
Exoneration la Complete.
In refutation of theBe charges, Mr.
Balllnger exhibited certified copies of
the proceedings In the Federal Court
ln! Seattle. In which he was exoner
ated by Judge Hanford, the master
In chancery and a committee of the
Federal Bar Association- of the
charges preferred by Finch.
The activity of Collier's Weekly
on behalf of Former Chief Forester
Glfford Pinched was brought forcibly
to the attention of the Balllnger- Pin-
chot Congressional committee when
H. 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 would
be' worth from $5000 to $10,000 t
him to go to Washington and testify."
Although Mr. Love told the coram"'.
tee he had not previously mentioned
the conversation to anybody because
he feared Dudley might have miscon
strued what Collier's had said to him,
the committee was unanimous In the
decision that Dudley should come
here from Alaska to tell about It. A
subpena will be Issued for him at
once.
"Did you understand Colliers was
trying to bribe Dudley to testify?'
Inquired Representative Madison.
"No, I merely ' understand th-:
wanted him to come here to tell tbe
truth," answered the witness, explain
ing that Dudley had been "let out,"
as Register of the Land Office and
that he' had declared his Intpntici:
of going to Washington to clear hU
record.
