ROME, April 7.—Some of the
prominent ecclesiastlcals who were
received by the pope today managed
to Introduce the subject of the Roose
velt Incident. To these the pontiff
expressed his deepest regret that he
had been prevented from meeting the
former president but gave utterance
to no opinion regarding the negotia
tions or the deadlock that followed.
The incident continues to be the
live topic of popular discussion and
Is emphasized by what the liberal
press calls a new mistake of Cardinal
Merry Delval, who had before pre
vented the choral society being re
ceived by the pope because the so
ciety visited the qulrlnal and sang
before the Italian sovereigns In spite
of the fact that every year hundreds
of persons are received by King Vic
tor Emmanuel and afterwards admit
ted to the presence of the pope. The
Messagero says today:
"Within a few days Cardinal Merry
Delvai has shown discourtesies to a
most beloved American citizen and
to a gathering of most beloved per
sons of Germany, and indirectly to
the King of Italy. As long as this
young and audacious Spanish car
dinal dominates, the Italian Liberals
must be on their guard.
PARIS, April 7.—The Matin today
claims that the treatment of Mr.
Roosevelt by tne Vatican meets with
disapproval In the highest and most
important ecclesiastical circles. In
cluding many members of the sacred
college, who hold that Cardinal Mer
ry Delvai and not the pope is re
sponsible.
These prelates point out that Mr.
Roosevelt has always shown the most
profound respect for the Catholic
church and now that the church has
offended him the Maiuln thinks that
the adversaries of the papal secre
tary will seize upon the incident as a
weapon with which to break down
his authority and prestige.
SPKZIA, Italy, April 7.—Theodore
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt began
today their carriage drive along the
sunny slope of the Ligurian Alps, the
road they followed as bride and

made at little taverns in the old

12th the Roosevelts will leave Porto
Maurizlo for Vienna, stopping at
Venice for a day.

Leblanc was unharmed. The crowd
that had been watching surrounded
him and gave him an ovation. Only

Daring Plans of Bank
Dynamiters Frustrated
by Bullets and MotorCars
CHICAGO, April 7.—Three bank
robbers were wounded and captured
at Morris, 111., today after an exciting
race between a freight train bearing
the fleeing robbers and a number of
motor cars carrying members of the
pursuing posse.
The captives belonged to a band
of five which raided the Bank of Coal
City, Ills., to day and escaped with
$ 5,000.
The marauders entered the town,
which Is 63 miles southwest of here,
on a freight train and began their
operations by capturing Barney Ghet
to, night watchman, and Washington
Frye, night engineer of the electric
plant.
'they then entered the bank and
blew open the safe. Sacking all the
money that they found, they fled to
.^e railroad yards, where they leaped
on a Santa Fe freight train.
Three hour later, three men suf
fering from shot wounds were ar
rested at Morris, Ills. The other two
bandits nad fled into the country
from somewhere along the line and
late tonight had not yet been found.
The three wounded men had none
of the money taken from the bank,
the amount of which has not been dis
closed. It is supposed to be either
in the possession of the other two or
cached somewhere near the rail
road.
The men wounded are supposed to
have been struck by shots fired after
them by officers as they fled to the
railroad yards. i he men who es
caped are supposed to have jumped
from the train when they became
convinced that the wounded men se
riously hurt and could give them no
further assistance. The deserted men
have so far declined to talk further
than to persist in their Innocence.

m
The above verdict was returned
yesterday afternoon at the conclusion
of the coroner's inquest at Star
Pointer to inquire into the death of
Charles Farlinger, whose body, with
a bullet hole through the head, was
found Monday afternoon.
While the verdict is accepted by a
large number of the officers and oth
ers who have followed the case as a
satisfactory solution of the mystery,
there are many persons who are still
firmly convinced that Farlinger met
with foul play, despite the inability
thus far of the authorities to gath
er positive evidence in support of
their belief.
When the inquest reconvened yes
terday afternoon, Kitty White, of
whom Farlinger was enamored, re
sumed her testimony. She stated
that she and Farlinger came down
to Ely late Sunday night by team.
Previously and on the way down Far
linger told her, according to her tes
timony, that he had recently sold a
mine for *30,000 and had *5,000 in
an Kly bank. He had promised to
pay up all her debts In Ely and take
her to Jarbidge, where be was to
start in business. About 9 o’clock
Monday morning, the couple parted,
so she testified, at an Ely saloon. He
promised to meet her again at 11
o'clock at the same place. With that
idea in view, the woman went about
town gathering up her bills, and was
on hand to meet Farlinger at the ap
pointed place and time. Farlinger
did not show up. She made inquiry,
according to her testimony, and
learned about noon that Farlinger
had gone to Star Pointer.
Jack Sullivan, the bartender em
ployed at the woman’s Riepetown re
sort, who was supposed to have been
a rival of Farlinger for her affections,
was examined at great length. He
emphatically maintained that he had
never met Farlinger and did not
know him, but would probably have
known him from the description he
had heard. He declared that he had
no recollection whatever of having
^ever seen Farlinger, and that he had
no Ill-feeling toward him. Sullivan
swore that he went to the White wo
man's resort at Star Pointer Sunday
night and set up a roulette wheel, re
turning to Riepetown about daylight
Monday. After breakfast, he went
to Kimberley, returning in about an
hour. He remained there, he testi
fied, until about 6 o’clock Monday
evening, when he heard a rumor that
Karlinger had been killed at Star
Pointer. Thinking that perhaps the
reported killing had occurred at the
White woman's place, he got a team
and drove there. Upon arriving Sul
livan found this was not true and re
turned to Riepetown.
Peter Smilinack, a 13 years old
boy, testified that he saw Sullivan at
12:30 .Monday afternoon drive at top
speed from the neighborhood where
Farlinger’8 body was found near that
time. When questioned closely, the
boy safd that Sullivan did not drive
at top speed but made his horses trot
and walk.
The testimony of the boy did not
carry much weight with the Jury, for
the reason that it was unsubstan
tiated and that Alfred J. Fowler of
the Smilinaek and Fowler saloon, de
clared the youth an inveterate liar.
Fowler corroborated the testimony
of Sullivan as to the latter visiting
Star Pointer about 6 o’clock Monday
evening. Several other unimportant
witnesses were examined. Two of
the Jurors, R. E. Cummings and J. H.
Davenport, desired to tile written
recommendations to the county com
missioners for the revocation of the
saloon license issued to the White
woman, but other members declined
to sign it.
The funeral of Farlinger will take
place at 1 o’clock this afternoon from i
the Wilson-Bates undertaking par-,
lore. Rev. G. C. Hunting will offl- j
ciate at the service*.
Failure of Another Brook
lyn Bank Brings Back
Memories of Days inl907
NEW YORK, April 7.—The Bor
ough bank, of Brooklyn, closed Its
doors today and the superintendent
of banks has taken posessison. The
bank has capital of f 200,000 with de
posits of more than 12,000,000. B.
R. Shears is president of the institu
tion. This is the second bank fail
ure In Brookly within a week, the
first being that of the Union bank.
As was the case with the Union
bank, the Borough bank was obliged
to suspend during cue panic of 1907
but by arrangement was reorgan
ized later. The new management waa
obliged to assume the liabilities of
the old organization, which has been
a heavy oad. Also the suspension of
the Union bank had a bad effect on
the Borough bank, which was known
to be in much the same sort of po
sition.
When the Borough bank closed its
doors in October, 1907, the charge
was made that the institution’s funds
had been misappropriated. Its pres
ident, noward Maxwell, and its cash
ier, Arthur D. Campbell, were indict
ed. President Maxwell committed
suicide a few days later by cutting his
throat.
The closing of the bangs has caus
jed but slight attention in financial
* and market circles for the reason
•hat the struggles which their man
agements were making were under
stood. Few expected that it would
be possible to straighten out the en
tanglements into which the previous
organization had plunged the con
cerns.
G. T. TO MEET GRAIN RATES.
< 'nnadian Line to Compete Competi
tion of American Roads.
MONTREAL. April 7.—Officials of
the Grand Trunk have decided in
order to meet the competion when
the new rates on grain from Buffalo
to New York made by the American
railraods go into effect on May 1, to
put in effect equally low rates, so
that the rail and water rates on
Canadian grain to Montreal will be as
low as by any American route.
The reduced rates are a result of
the contest over rates in which the
Grand Trunk refused to reduce its
differential when the fast trunk lines
endeavored to orce this on the differ
ential lines. Every pressure was
brought to bear, including a threat
on the part of certain trunk lines to
cut rates on west-bound business to
Chicago.
While sufficient pressure was
brought to bear on the trunk lines
to cause the withdrawal of the notice
of the rate reduction from New York
the war was carried into the grain
carrying districts and rates were cut
by the American railroads on Can
adian grains from Buffalo to New
York and Boston.
