last night, after ■ trip to California.

that there was anything serious the mat

of Mayor Qaynor. **

;ill right My legs are a little better, but
I an ■ very tired old man. so you will
have to excuse me. I do not feel that
I can talk to the newspaper men just

Mr? Carnegie, her daughter and Miss
Frinkerhoff were in the party and went
down In the freight elevator to the base

As the elevator reached the lower level
the phatngraphefa gathered there took ■
nm»*tltgtt* photograph They were not
<mi. k enough to pet Mr. Carnegie while
he was supported by his two companions.
however The moment he saw the
cameras trnined on him he dropped their
arm?, stuck his hands in his pockets
and «ed for the picture
After he had readied the ferryboat
aid the trip across had begun, the
women left the automobile and Mr.
Carnegie consented to talk to the news
paper men.
I an very s'<rry," ha began, "'that I
c.iinot talk to you as I would like, but
I am a tired old man. 1 an quite weak.

the effects of that tramping became ap

hardly walk, and I have ■ pain in th"
middle of the back, from which I have
not been able to Ret relief even yet."
As he spoke Mr. Carnegie leaned back
i?-, the automobile and closed his eyes.
Mrs-. Carnegie watched over him closely.
"Do you care to comment on the
misunderstanding between ex-President
R.iosevrU and the Vatican?" was a ques
tion.
"In some ways I ran sympathize with
the stand Colonel Roosevelt has taken,"
replied Mr. Carnegie. "I have been in
Borne several times myself, and I have:
had two interviews with the King, but I
have never found it convenient to ar
j;inge a i „ii at the Vatican. Colonel
Roosevelt has shown discretion «nd has
given ■ fine exhibition of American spirit
v.i his refusal to meet tl •■ Pope under
conditions. It was the only stand an
American could take."'

Mr Carneßie said it was useless for

"I li:i\c said all I could say on that
