Indianapolis, April 6. Emphatical
ly explaining his reasons for oppos
ing many of the . provisions of the
Payne-AIdrich tariff bill. Senator
Albert J. Beveridge, as temporary
chairman of the Indiana. Republican
State Convention here today launched
his boom for re-election by the next
State legislature.
"I voted against the present tariff
law and for plighted honor, he said,
and 1 voted against taxes and for
protection. I voted against the In
terests and for the people."
Beveridge also explained at length
the tariff commission idea for which
he stands sponsor and, which is made
prominent factor in the state plat
form which will be adopted this afternoon.
Senator Beveridges phrase, "Theo
dore Roosevelt, the champion ' of
Righteousness" evoked tremendous ap
plause for several minutes and left no
question as to the loyalty of Hoosier
Republicans to the ex-President. The
spirit shown by, the convention was
unmistakably appjied . to support
Roosevelt yhenever he needs it.
witn a piauonn agree a on, xramea
on distinctly conservative lines and
which apparently satisfied all fac
tions, the convention assembled to
nominate a state ticket with the. ex
ception of Governor. The big con
vention hall was Jammed to the
doors long before , State Chairman
Lee, acting under the, call of the
state committee, dropped his gavel
as a signal that the convention was
ready to organize. '
The preliminary work of organiza
tion took up some time after which
Senator Beveridge was introduced as
temporary chairman. "When Bev
eridge finished his speech, adjourn
ment, was taken until afternoon for
the completion of the platform and
the perfection of the permanent or
ganization. . -
George Cunningham of Evansvllle
will be the permanent chairman and
after the platform is finally adopted
me nommaiions win ue maae.
The possibility of strife In the
resolutions committee was eliminated
by the series of conferences last night
and this morning.
It required diplomacy and finesse
of the highest order to prevent at
least an apparent clash with the na
tional administration. The tariff
question, one of the real live issues
in Indiana, was discussed at length
and the leaders finally agreed that
the Payne-Aldnch bill should be
ignored. Instead the proposition of
Senator Beveridge, that the tariff is
a question which should be " settled
by an intelligent and competent com
mission named to investigate sched
ules and suggest- them to Congress.
was taken up and the tariff plank in
the platform will be a. hearty en
dorsement of this plan. - '
The local option question is ignored
entirely. There was the liveliest sug
gestion of a scrap over the plan -to
endorse county local option law but
the . leaders, declaring that this mat
ter was the chief factor in last year's
defeat at the polls, ordered reference
to the liquor question eliminated
from the platform.
When the committee . on resolu
tions finally formed a platform for
submission the following policies
were emphatically endorsed r protec
tive tariff, to be enacted from the
report of the advisory tariff commis
sion, clothed with full powers; posi
tive conservation of all natural re
sources; enlarged constitutional au
thority for taxation in time of war
with immediate constitutional amend
ment" to legalize it: limitation of the
powers of injunction; national legis
lation to stop child labor in mines or
sweat shops; pensions for soldiers,
rneir widows and orpnans.
xne uatt administration is- un
qualifiedly endorsed as is Senator
Beveridge's address.
The minority report favoring com
plete local option will be introduced
by George B. Lockwood of the elev
enth district.

State Examiner in Charge of

Its Branches
lawn Country Club. Frank T. Staples
is laying out 50 acres of ground in a
residential park. For several months
back people who have (passed through
Brooklawn avenue have been attracted
by finely macadamized roadway lead
ing to the westward and' ascending the
hill which stands to the south of the
Country club. On each side of the
roadway are solid walls of masonry and
ground Is laid out for gravel walks,
flower beds, and lawns alongside of the
stone fences.
So many people have been asking
what Mr. Staples was doing with the
plot of ground that a Farmer. reporter
questioned him concerning his plans,
He replied that it was his intention
to develop the property as a resident
ial section where the purchasers of
land would be restricted' to building
$7,000 houses. He said that he did
not expect that many houses would be
built at a less cost than $12,000 or $15.
000, but the $7,000 figure was set upon
in case there was anyone who wanted
to build a real nice small house.
The spot is a part of the Clapp
Spooner parte and will be developed as
Brooklawn Park. For many years it
was the ideal of the late Mr. Spooner
who anticipated that the day was com
ing when it would be an ideal resi
dential? section. He developed it at
tlrpo during his life along lines that
3w make it possible for Mr. Staples
i'to. lay ot a most delightful spot for
homes. . T . 1
The highest ground is about 100 feet
above the sea Jevel ' and about 0 feet
higher than Brooklawn avenue. The
natural lay- of the land is such that
there is a series of email plateaus at
various elevations. The .winding road
has been built and the ground plotted
so that when built upon, the effect will
be delightful and each property owner
will have a splendid perspective from
his own windows. .
Large numbers , of-Norway maples
and pine oaks are 'being set out along
the winding roads- which are over a
mile in length and yet unnamed.
The high ground is to be developed
nd sold off first and it promises to
be one of the prettiest sections In this
part of the country.
This la part of Fairfield that will
probably ask to become a part of
Bridgeport sooner or later, and when
it does come into the) city it will un
doubtedly , be a most valuable acquisi
tion to the grand list.

Rome, April 5.- Colonel Roosevelt
today, displeased with . the- statement
issued last night by Rev. B. M. Tip.
pie of the Methodist Church In Rome,
which he characterized as an uncall
ed for attempt to launch a sectarian
controversy, called off the public re
ception for tomorrow . at which he
was to act as host at the American
embassy.
This reception was to be a public
affair open to all regardless of na
tlonality or creed and, while not so
announced, was looked upon as tak
ing the place of a call by the Colonel
upon the Methodist Church.
The prime purpose of the recep
tion was to emphasize the religious
toleration ' for which Roosevelt stands
and in view of this purpose the
Colonel took offense at Rev. Mr. Tip
ple's statement, in which he fiercely
attacked the "Vatican in connection
with its treatment of Roosevelt, the
very thing that Roosevelt was trying
to avoid.
The following statement was made
by the Colonel in connection with the
calling off of tomorrow's reception
"I had made no arrangements to
speak at any church or clerical or
ganization in Rome. I have received
a number of gentlemen of all relig
ious faiths who have called at my
rooms or at the embassy. Under the
circumstances I have requested the
American ambassador not to hold
titp reception which he had intended
to noia on Wednesday atternoon. .
"As regards all efforts by whom
soever tried to bring about and in
flame religious animosities because of
what has occurred in connection with
the Vatican and myself I can do no
more than refer to - the emphatic
statements contained in my open let
ter to Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of
the .Outlook. All that I therje said
I desire to . reiterate with my whole
power."
The paragraph in Dr. Tipple's
statement that particularly offended
the Colonel is as follows:
"This is a bitter dose for patriotic
Catholics in America to swallow. I
wonder how many doses of this sort
they will take before they revolt? Is
Catholicism in v America to be Ameri
can or Romish? If Romish then ev
ery patriotic -Catholic i should rise to
crush it for Roman Catholicism is the
uncompromising foe of freedom."
While officially Colonel Roosevelt
looks upon his controversy with the
Vatican as a closed incident it is' no
betrayal of confidence to say that the
affair has worried him and is worry
ing him today probably more than
any foreign controversy in which he
has been involved. "
There is not a shadow of doubt in
the ex-President's mind as to the
propriety of his course from begin
ning to end and nothing has ' given
him greater pleasure than to see that
the world generally has approved of
his actions.
What worried him, however, is the
fact that his host of Catholic friends
m America may not fully understand
tne situation from a lack of informa
tion. ,
The Colonel expressed this doubt
today to the United Press correspond
ent and then asked:
"You fellows have carried enough
of this to set me right with my
mends at home, haven't you?"
Even my statement that the story
had been fully covered failed wholly
to reassure the Colonel and he added
"Well, I do hope my friends under
nana tne situation ana ail tne ae
termmlng causes." ,
JOBCV BULti IiOOKS FOR "
ROOSEVEIT SENSATION"
OST ENGLISH SOIL.
London, April 5. English politicians
are apprehensive today lest tJolonel
Theodore Roosevelt spring iiis next
sensation on English soil and that
somebody is goins to be fearfully hard
jut ny it.
-For publication English politicians
uniformly and conventionally express
extreme pleasure regarding Roosevelt s
coming visit to London on May 16
but the -truth is they can ill conceal
the fear that possesses most of them
that the Colonel will loose another bolt
while here.
At Khartoum it was Colonel Roose
velt's vigorous appeal for submission
to English rule that stirred the press
of the world: at Cairo it was his se.
vere castigation of the Nationalists
and at Rome his refusal to be received
by the Pope on the conditions laid
down by the Vatican.
It is significant that . Roosevelt's
visit to London will be at the time
of a critical political situation and pos
sibly simultaneous with another. Na
tional election. There are few who
believe that the Colonel will be able
to refrain from voicing his sympathies
and conclusions and it is admitted
that such an expression from a. man
of his calibre will have the most far-
reaching consequences.
It is realized by all that if the col
onel makes up his mind, to "say a
few things" regarding the situation In
England, nothing can dissuade blm.
The present apprehension therefore re
sembles a feeling of helpless anticipa
tion. , x :
Despite the feeling of anxiety there
is nothing but admiration for Roose
velt s irrespressiDiiity ana zeariessness,
Today's London papers go into the
Roosevelt-Vatican incident more fully
than on yesterday and they are prac
tically unanimous in the opinion that
the Vatican's explanation of its course
is unsatisfactory. That the Vatican
acted with extreme lack of tact is- the
consensus of opinion of the English
press which is just as unanimous in
declaring thart Roosevelt's course was
proper from first to last.
There's ' a big. time coming for
Bridgeport, so big that a select body
of competent, men began to prepare
for it last night. The second celebra
tion of Columbus Day. by the Knights
of Columbus of this . State, will take
place here Oct. 12. The first State
celebration was in New Haven. , There
were 10,000 men in the procession and
they marched to the music of 18 brass
bands. So It was some celebration.
but nothing at all beside the celebra
tion that is to occur here. Bridgeport
must and will lead.
The Bridgeport celebration will open
with the parade in the morning. In
the afternoon there will be sports and
a big, well planned1 outing. In the
evening the day will close with, a gi
gantic carnival. But it- will be only
the opening of the carnival, which will
continue for several days thereafter,
upon such a scale that it will be hard
to surpass the attempt afterward.
A l.i of these affairs have been en
trusted' to a general committee, which
represents the five councils' of Knights
in this city. This committee met in
the Chapter rooms of the Knights in
Newfleld building, last evening, and
began the work of organization.
0eorge T. Kelly was elected chair
man of the committee. John E. Lyddy
treasurer, and Daniel B. Harrigan sec
retary.
For grand; marshal of the parade
Lieut. John J. Scanlon was chosen.
Ajrd then chairmen of sub-commit
tees were named as follows, each with
power to name his own assistants:
Transportation. M. J. Keyes: decora
tion, John JE. Lyddy; noats. George T.
Kelly: sports, James H. 0Rou-rke.
Mr. O'Rourke named) his assistants as
follows: M. J. Flanagan. M. F. Mc
Kenna. M. J. Keyes, and John E.
fiyddy.
B. F. Cooney was made head' of the
press committee.
It is ex-pectea that at least 15,000
strangers will visit Bridgeport for the
second annual celebration of Colum
bus Dav.
As for bands, they will be brought
in here from every direction and from
several States.

TO PROLONG LIFE
SAYS PARIS DOCTOR
Paris, April 5. Dr. Doyen, the noted
surgeon, thinks that he has come near
er finding the elixir of life than any
one has before hiitr. Anyway, he is
greatly confident that he has found a
means of prolonging life to a consid
erable . extent He made the an
nouncement yesterday afternoon in a
lecture in which he gave many tech
nical details.
He said that he had discovered a li
quid, which he calls mycolysine, which
dissolves germs. It was known, he
said, that if it were possible to decup
lize the activity of phagocytes the re
sistance of the human body would be
greatly increased. In this case a ma
jority, of infectious diseases would dis
appear. This problem he solved by the dis
covery of phagogenous colloids, which
form the basis of mycolysine. He in
sists that if employed' rationally my
colysine will abolish a majority of the
infectious diseases', especially those of
the respiratory and digestive organs
and of the skin
AFFAIR BETWEEN GENTLEMEN
Bishop Foley Says Roosevelt Would'nt
Intentionally Offend.
Detroit. April 5. Bishop John S. Fo
ley, speaking of the Roosevelt incident,
said:
"It is an affair between gentlemen,
and to make a religious issue of it is
absurd.
"There are - certain conditions sur
rounding an audience with the Pope,
and since Mr. Roosevelt decided that
he cwuld not comply with those condi
tions it was impossible for him to be
granted an interview.
"I have too high a regard for Mr.
Roosevelt to take the slightest offence
at his attitude. He has shown mark
ed courtesy to Catholics whenever he
has come in contact with them, and
we all realize that he would never in
tentionally offend those of our faith.
" "I look upon holding meetings and
framing resolutions of protest or con
gratulation in regard to the failure of
plans for the audience as petty -political
trickery, unworthy the serious
consideration of dignified Christian
gentlemen." .
