It is stated at the Vatieian that Pope Benedict on receiving President Wilson's reply to his peace proposals did not attempt to conceal his bitter disappointment and that he regards the president's answer as leaving little room for further peace efforts at present. It has been no secret here that the pope hoped for a more favorable response from the United States than from anywhere else. Before President Wilson's reply was read it was said at the Vatieian that the responses from the various governments were expected to be more favorable than the tone of mess comment. At the same time the pope was reported to have sig n i lied his intention of issuing a re ply after receiving the answers of all the belligerents;, pointing out ques tions in regard to which all the na tions at war might be in agreement and others concerning which it would be necessary to hold discussions.

IOWA LEGAL HEAD SAYS NO GRAND JURY FRAUD Declares Has Evidence Against Preacher Defense Knows Nothing; About. Des Moines. Ia., Aug. SI. II? M. Havner, attorney general of Iowa, late tonight announced that he had received verification of the report that Lynn (leorge J. Kelly, an itin erant clergyman, had confessed to the murder of eight persons at Vil lisca, la., in 11(12. in connection wrth which he has been under indictment since last spring. Havner says that he was not pres ent when the confession was made and declares that it was made to the sheriff and county attorney of Harrison county, at Logan, where Kelly is confined. After a "sweating" lasting from S o'clock Thursday night until 4 o'clock Friday morning, the Rev. Lynn George J. Kelly, who. is Im prisoned in Logan, la., for com plicity in the Villisca, la., ax murders, asserted that he "did the job." according to A. L. Sutton. Kelly's attorney. Attorney General Havner and five deputies, says Sutton, were given permission by the Logan sheriff to see Kelly Thursday night. In the course of the conversation with Kelly they read him the "evidence" of eighty-five people, in which evi dence his guilt was certain. They also told him that itO per cent of the people of Red Oak, la., had banded together and were going to hang Kellv' when he was brought there for trial next Tuesday. Next they outlined his course if he should admit the crime. They told him he would be sent at once, without trial, to an asylum, and at the end of six months would be freed, the attorney declared. Wanted to See Attorney. Sutton says that Kelly begged them to let him see his attorney. Judge Sutton, but they said, "It won't do you any good anyway," and refused. When John A. MacKenzie, associ ated with Judge Sutton, went to see Kelly in jail at Logan yesterday, Kelly repudiated his assertion of the preceding night. According to Sutton, Attorney General Havner now has the papers signed by Kelly admitting the deed. Attorney General J. M. Havner of Iowa, in Omaha yesterday to straight en out differences of opinion be tween himself and revenue officers on "the amount of income tax he should pay, denied that he had done anything irregular in connection with last winter's grand jury probe of the Villisca ax murders. Report Investigation. Reports from Reef" Oak, la., where another grand jury is in session, are to the effect, that Havner's conduct in examining grand jury witnesses is under investigation. "I know of no fraud in the grand jury work," he said. "Ask any at torney in Iowa if the conduct of grand jury work can be a matter of criminal investigation. I cannot tell what did happen before a grand jury, without violating the law," he added. Havner was emphatic on what would happen when the trial of the Rev. Lynn George J. Kelly, now in jail on a charge of murdering the Moore family and Stillinger girls, commences at Red Oak next week. "We are all ready for trial," he raid, "and are going through with it. We Avill not ask that Kelly be adjudged insane, and sent to an asylum. That is for the defense. Have New Testimony. "We have evidence against Kelly that his defer::;e knows nothing about. The other side wants to get it. For myself. I am sure that Kelly is the man who swung the ax, and I am going to push the prosecution to a finish. llyplays are for the defense, not for me." When Private Detective Wilker son was mentioned. Mr. Havner winked and said: "Wouldn't Wilker son be sick if he knew that we had a signed confession frcra Kelly?" The trial is called for next Tues day. Judge W. D. holes of Sheldon. Ia., outside of the judicial district in which Montgomery is situated, has been appointed by the supreme court to conduct the trial. Feeling is running high in Mont gomery county.
