Declare Roosevelt Act One Simply Discourteous
Indiana Convention Puts
Him in Awkward Posi
tion-Calls Visit Off
WASHINGTON, April 6.—Presi
dent Taft has cancelled his engage
ment to visit Indianapolis on May 6.
While no statement has been issued
in regard to this decision, It is be
lieved to be the direct result of the
events of yesterday in the Indiana
state Republican convention.
It is not admitted at the White
House that the President had a def
inite engagement to visit Indian
apolis. although dispatches from that
city several days ago announced that
the President would be there from
2:15 p. m. until midnight of May 6th.
In view of the circumstances sur
rounding yesterday's Indiana Repub
lican convention it was said by the
friends of the administration that if
the President spoke In Indianapolis
at all he would be more than likely
to express his well known views re
garding the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill.
It is argued that if the President
should do this it might be interpreted
adversely to Senator Ileveridge and
rather than be put in that attitude
the President will give Indiana a
wide berth in his forthcoming visit
to the middle west.
It was said at the White House to
day that the President’s trip west,
which begins on April 29th, will
probably be curtailed several days
and it was intimated that this was
responsible for the failure to visit In
dianapolis. The President had plan
ned to spend three or four days at
Cincinnati but it is now likely that
he will be there only on May 3. He
will be at St. LouIb May 4, accord
ing to the revised plan and will be
back at Washington the morning, of
May 6th.

NEW YORK. April 6.—The next
Fourth of July in New York will be
noiseless. Mayor Galnor decided to
day that the Fire Commissioners’
order that no permits for retailing
fireworks between June 10 to July
10 be issued, will stand.
This decision was reached only at
the sacrifice of personal preference
to a sense of duty, it is said by a

has oeen known as a valiant celebra
tor of the Fourth after the small
boys’ own method, and recently
came out openly in its defense.

WOMAN BURGLAR TELLS OF
MURDERS AND ROBBERIES
Confession Covers Long Series of
Burglaries in Massachusetts
SI’llINGPIKliD, Mass., April <1.—llertha M. Gage Spencer confessed
today to the murder of Miss Martha lllackstone at the home of Mrs. Sarah
J. Dow on Hound hill, this city, last Thursday night. She also confessed
to the commission of a long series of burglaries.
Miss lllackstone and Miss Harriet P. Dow, school teachers, wen* shot
by a masked burglar who entered the Dow home on the evening of March
81st and to whom the young ladies offered resistance. Miss Dow is re

volt, as has been wrongly asserted,
the rondition of not approaching the
Methodists or other non-t'athollo re
ligious bodies of Rome.
"There are several non-Cathollc
renters in the city which do not be
have in a bitter and offensive man
ner toward the Pope and toward
everything that his holiness and all
Catholics hold most dear.
"The Methodist center in sectarian
matters, however, systematically
Joins hands with the worst and most
anti-clerical and anti-papal elements
in Rome, and they do so notoriously
and in a most aggressive and Insult-,
ing manner.
“Mr. Roosevelt himself has had a j
mild and limited sample of their at-!
titude in the declaration just pub- j
luhcd by them and which he has felt
bound to disavow.
“The holy see, after the unfortu
nate incident had every reason to fear
that Mr. Roosevelt, unwittingly and
In perfect good faith, might be led
Into showing open sympathy and
friendship for this hostile center ot
aggression against the Catholic
church in the heart of the Catholic
world.
“Consequently, when Mr. Roose
velt applied indirectly and confident
ly for an audience with his Holiness
the Pope, the wish was courteously
expressed that he would avoid being
dragged into the objectionable posi
tion of appearing publicly to support
the offensive campaign against the
pope.
“Mr. Roosevelt replied refusing all
conditions or agreements and thus
admitted the possibility of his ac
complishing what would be an of
fensive act to his holiness subsequent
to being his guest. This was amply
confirmed by his own secretary, Mr.
O'Laughlin, who, when asked wheth
er without any formal promise or ex
pressed condition Mr. Roosevelt
would as a matter of fact not go to
the Methodist center.
Mr. O’Laughlin replied that he
could give no such assurance and
that in his opinion Mr. Roosevelt
was Just the man to do it. In view
of this attitude the audience became
Impossible. It is simply a question
of common courtesy and surely com
mon courtesy is not Incompatible

QUEER FINDINGS MAY GROW
FROM EUREKA DANK WRECK
Well, well, well, what a sudden
rush of scandalous rumors of graft,
rottenness and what not these politi
cal brethren of a stripe seem to be
trying to blanket themselves with.
It is quite marvelous that the
Evening Defense managed to over
look the main hullaballo in the west
ern part of the state during the week,
when it entirely missed the fact that
Judge Breen had been over to Reno
and in an interview with the Journal,
to which the Gazette of that town
added another the next day, stirred
Reno, Carson, Virginia and the bal
ance in that neck of the woods to
page headlines. Quite remarkable
because the Defense hadn’t missed at
tack on anybody else outside the ring
late’y.
This racket is about the Eureka
bank. Some days ago it was ordered
closed by the bank board, which had
been informed by Examiner Fleet 14
months previously that it should be
closed, while Judge Breen Btates
that the examiner followed up this
| warning with many more. But when
the action finally did come about
wires were sent over the state to
modify the announcement, for the
public good, as much as possible.
Sure, of course, it wasn’t for the
board’s good. Of the situation the
Reno Gazette says:
The depositors and other creditors
of the bankrupt institution are nat
urally gloomy and angry and are eag
er for not only restitution but ven
geance.
The failure left Eureka county
and its people in a bad way, for this
institution was the depository for not
only individuals and mining com
panies, but the county as well.
As a result the mines nave nearly
all closed down, and county, when
the railroad washed out is also con
sidered, is now practically bereft of
industries, coin or credit.
Coupled with this situation there
has arisen an embroglio which is
badly complicating the situation. C.
H. Gorman, the representative of the
state banking commission, was forc
ibly removed from the bank this
morning by order of Judge Breen.
It seems that Judge Breen of the
district court presided over a meet
ing of creditors held in his chambers
and as a result of the consultation a
court order was made removing Gor
man and placing three deputy sheriffs
on guard at the bank.

CHICAGO, April 6.—The suspen
sion of the cash grain house of W. H.
Merritt & Co. was announced on the
Board of Trade todav. The custo
mers were notinea to close out their
trades.
W. H. Merritt & Co. had for many
years been one of the most important
firms in the cash grain trade and fail
ure caused great surprise.
The reasons for the suspension are
closely analagous to those which on
Monday forced another cash grain
house, the Burns-Hanits Grain Co.,
to suspend, namely the decline In
corn prices recently.
Eastern customers of the company
who had bought at a high price for
later delivery are said to have re
pudiated their contracts when the
market declined, with result of ruin
of both the suspended firms.
ROME, April 6.—The final day of
Mr. Roosevelt's stay In Rome was
quite as busy as the two preceding
days. After devoting two hours to
his mail and telegrams he left his
hotel for a call on Prof. Giacomo
Boni, the archaeologist. At 12
o'clock he received a visit from Bar
ron Fava, formerly American am
bassador at Washington, the his
torian of the Guglielml Terrero enter
tained the former president and a
few friends at luncheon. At the same
time Mrs. Roosevelt was the lunch
eon guest of Mrs. Leishman, wife of
the American Ambassador.
At midnight Mr. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Roosevelt left for Spezia, from
which point they will begin tomorrow
morning their carriage drive over the
route to Genoa which they traversed
on their honeymoon. The American
newspapermen who accompanied Mr.
Roosevelt from Khartum have prom
ised, at the ex-president’s special re
quest, that they will respect the pri
vacy of this sentimental Journey and
as the carriage drive from Spezia to
Genoa will occupy the greater part
of three days, Mr. Roosevelt has an
nounced that he will receive no one
at Porto Maruzio except Gifford
Pinchot.
Returning Dome after an unex
plained five days's absence, Mrs.
Kmma Menzel, of Cleveland, commit
ted suicide with poison.
ITS 11
FIRE BEST
Their Gains in Excess of
Losses-Tendency Ap
pears to be to Backslide
SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 6.—The
elections held in 260 cities and towns
in Illinois yesterday on the saloon
issue show a decided reversal of the
vote of two years ago. If anything
the vote Indicates a tendency to re
turn to the wet column.
Many cities having large popula
tions were recaptured by the wets.
The reports today show that 39 dry
towns went wet, while 19 wet towns
went dry. Seventy-two towns retain
ed the saloons, while 110 dry towns
remained true to their colors.
The drys failed to gain entrance
into such Important cities as Dan
ville, Turoa, Joliet and Bloomington,
ualesburg went dry by a small ma
jority, while the wet majorities were
reduced at Rock Island and-Moline.
Rockford, one of the largest cities
in the middle west, was recaptured
by the liquor men oy a small major
ity. Declair, Dixon and Belvidere
were among other places where the
dry victories of two years ago were
reversed.
NOTED SMELTER DEMOLISHED.
Highland Boy Riant Dismantled and
Much of it Now is Junk.
MIDVILE, April 6.—The old
Highland Boy smelter is no more.
The work of demolishing the plant
has been going on steadily for more
than eight months, and just now
there is nothing but a heap of debris
to remind one that once a smelter
was operated there. When the smel
ter discontinued business there was
a townsite nearby, where employes
of the smelter lived with their
families. The little town had been
growing, but when a stop was put
to operations of the smelter the peo
ple realized that its days were num
bered. When it was finally given out
that the smelter had been closed for
good, many picked up their belong
ings and departed for more alluring
fields.
The steel structures have been
torn down. Part of the material has
ben shipped to Tooele, where it was
used in the construction of the Inter
national smelter there. Other parts
have been shipped to the punk shops.

FRANKING PRIVILEGE IS
OCCASION WARM COMMENT
Democrats Protest Its Allowance by
Congress to All Ex>Presidents
WASHINGTON, April 6.—Rx-President Roosevelt and all other ex
presidents of the United States or their widows will be granted a franking
privilege during life under the terms of a bill which was passed by the
House today by a vote of 120 to 70. The measure met some opposition on
the Democratic side, on the ground that the voluminous and continuous
Roosevelt utterances would further burden the mails with many tons of
matter sent out for purely political purposes._
