DELAYS RAIL BILL
Resists Attempt to Bring it to
Vote Saturday,
FAVORS THOROUGH DEBATE,
Iowa Senator Declares Two Weeks
Should Be Taken to Consider Amend
ments to Measure and That Hasty
Action Would Be a Joke OppoBes
Hate and Elklns.
"Washington, April 5. Doctoring
thnt no lefts than two weeks' time will
be necessary to consider the amend
nicnts already offered to the rnllrond
bill, Senator Cummins resisted the
combined efforts of Sonatora Halo and
Elklns to obtain nn agreement to vote
next Saturday on the bill. The Iowa
senator not only objected to tho prop
OBltlon, but he pronounced It a Joke.
Senator Uncon mado It ovldcnt that
If no one also had objected, ho would
do ho. Ho contended thnt tho man
agers of tho bill were not Justified In
asking for nn ngreement looking to a
voto until they are ablo to present a
perfected bill.
Elkins brought up the question of a
vote after tho close of a speech by
Senator Crawford advocating tho
amendntlon of tho commerce court
provision of tho bill.
"I don't want to rush senators " said
Elkjns, "but wo all want to get nway
from hero by tho lfith of Juno. I,
therefore, urge that senators doslrlng
to Hpoak on the bill or amendments
will prepare themselves to do so and
give us an opportunity to vote."
CummlnB regarded ElkiiiH as not
only amiable, but Jocular. Thero were
more than 100 amendments to this bill
to be considered, ho said, and no loss
than n fortnight would be necessary
for tho duty. He suggested nR n sub
stitute an agreement that no less than
three hours a day be devoted to the
consideration of tho bill and amend
ments until disposed or.
Bacon would not consent.
"Senators say tho b.111 has been hero
six weeks," he snid. "It Is not here
yet. Amendments have been offered,
which none have seen, and wo receive
no assurance as to when the bill
would be completed."
"Tho amendments are not of a kind
thnt surprise senators," said Hale.
"Wo don't know," replied Huron
"whon ho haven't seen them."
Cummins brought the discussion to
an end by presenting nn amendment
striking out the provision authorizing
tho submission in advance of amend
ments to tho court of commerce. Tho
setinto then went Into executive ses
sion and adjourned without further
pro")cdlngs on the railroad bill.

Papal Secretary Gives Out State
ment ot Roosevelt Incident,
METHODISTS THE OBSTACLE.
Audience' With Pontiff Is Cancelled
Upon Failure to Exact Promise That
Former President Would Not Visit
Protestants Tells What Followed
After Exchange of Telegrams.
Rome, April 5. Twice Theodore
Roosevelt wns tho guest of King Vic
tor Emmanuel. The king received the
ex-presjdent at an early hour with
paitlcular warmth and they talked
together for nearly an hour. Last
evening thero was a grand dinner at
tho pnlaco, given by the king and
queen In honor of Colonel Roosevelt
nnd his family.
Now that Mr. Roosevelt has made
public the documents which tho Vati
can had considered confidential, Cardi
nal Merry Del Val, papal secretary of
state, wishes tho entire history of tho
negotiations for the audience vhlch
the former president sought of Popo
Plus X to be known.
Cardlnnl Merry Del Val Is credited
with the responsibility for the vat
lean's part In tho matter and tho fol
lowing may be accepted as his ver
sion: Following the exchnnges between
Mgr. Kennedy and American Ambas
sador Lelshman and Mr. Roosevolt's
decision not to be received under tho
terms imposed, John Callan O'Laugh
Iln, who was assistant secretary of
state In 1909, nnd' a personal friend
of Mr. Roosevelt, called upon Cardinal
Merry Del Val, bearjng an introduc
tion from Mgr. Falconlo, apostolic
delegate in the United States. Imme
diately after being Introduced to tho
preseuce of the cardinal, Mr. O'Laugh
lln said:
"I do not come In the name of Mr.
Roosevelt, but on my own account ns
an American Catholic."
Cardinal Merry Del Val said:
"Then what are we here for? It is
useless to discuss the matter. If you
do not represent Mr. Roosevelt you
cannot make any arrangements or
speak for him."
Answer of Mr. O'Laughlln.
Mr. O'LaughlJn replied:
"Whnt I consider Important is to
tell your eminence that If tho two dis
patches sent by Mgr. Kennedy aro re
tracted I can assure you that Mr
Roosevelt will accept an audience."
Cardinal Merry Del Vnl snld:
"1 will not discuss Mr. Roosevelt's
rights, but felve me confidential as
surances tlinl, de lacto, Mr. Roosevelt
will not go to the Methodists and the
audlpnco will occur."
Mr. O'Laughlln refused to fJvc this
nssurance.
Tho cardinal then said:
"Mr. Roosevelt Is free to go to tho
Methodists 'nd do whatever he '
chooses, but the pontiff is certainly'
free not to receive n man who would
ciawn me ngni 10 insult litm on the
day nfter having been received by
him. or perhaps on the same day, as,
according to your statement, he may
leave Rome on the same day of the
papal audience, thus leaving only be
tween noon nnd evening Tuesday in
which to see the Methodists.
"It Is of little consequence whether
he Is a Catholic. Protestant, Israelite
or Buddhist. All religious persons
merit the same esteem. The Import
ant thing Is to be honest and sincere.
So far as the form of belief Is con
cernpd, I believe thnt all honest peo
ple will be always on good terms wjth
God."
Roosevelt Seeks Audience.
Mr. Roosevelt sought, an audience
with the pope through American Am
bassador Lelshman nnd received a re
ply thnt the holy rather would he de
lighted to receive him. but the answer
was coupled with an expression or the
hope that the audience would not be
prevented bv such a regrettable inci
dent as mnde nn audience for former
Vice Piesldent Fairbnnks impossible.
Mr. Roosevelt, In turn, stated that
he could not accept any stipulation
llmltlnc his freedom of conduct. To
the latter message the Vatican made
answer that the audience could not
tnl; n'nre excepting on the "under
standing first mnde known. On March
29 Mr. Roosevelt sent to Ambassador
Lelshman the following cablegram:
"Proposed presentation la, of course,
now Impossible."
The Rev. B. M. Tipple, pnstor of the
Vmerlran Methodist church In Rome.
Jfter being receive! by Mr. Roosevelt,
issued n st -t. expressing the
greatest satis r nn that the ex-presl-dent
did not l.a an audjenco with"
tho pope.
