and an expression of the voters taken at- I
to the providing of -more school room
This expression was as between three'
propositions. The first was to extend the
ward school system by building a foui-
room building in the Fourth xxard or to t
extend the ward school system by adding I
txvo rooms to the Second ward or by buy
ing a block of real estate in the Fourth

yesterday afternoon and on his depailuiv
made public a stat' ineiit, in which be lllle I
the Vatican episode, out of the realm of the
personal and gave it a World-wide sinlii
cance. "Mr. Hoosexelt has struck a blow for
twentieth century Christianity," aaid lb v.
Mr. Tipple-. "The Itpieseiitalives of txxo
gieat rx publics have bean the ones to put

"This is a bitter duso for patriotic
Catholics in America to swallow. 1 xvon
dcr how many doses cf ibis sort they xxill
take befoie tucy revolt. Is Catholicism in
America to bo American or Konush? if
llomihli. then every patriotic American
should rise to crush it. tor Roman Catho
licism is the uncumpi utilising fue of free

Vatican iiexcr."
The statement in full was showu to Mr,
Koosexcll tenia j, when ho said;
"1 had made no auaiiueuieiiis to speak
at any cliuich or before any clerical or
ganization in Koine. 1 have received .

"Under the circumstance a 1 have re
quested the American ambassador not to
hold the reception xxhicii ne had intended
to hold Wednesday afternoon.
"As legaros all efforts, by whomsoever
made, lo bring about and iiitlaine religious

with my whole power."
Mr. Leishman, the American ambassador,
had arranged the reception at the Ameri
can embassy in order lliat Mr. Koosexcll
might meet the Americans In Itoilie, re
gardless of their religious faith, on the
neutial ground uf the embassy. The ap
pearance, however, of Mr. Tipple's state
ment displeased many American Catholics,
who forthwiih niaiiil.tti J an intention of
abandoning their purpose lo attend the
reception. If the Method. us of the organi
zation represented by Mr. Tipple were to
be present. The matter xxas carried to Mr.
r.ocevelt. who after healing both sides
promptly asked Mr Leishman to Cancel ine
whole affair. This xxas done.
Sensation laabaled,
The sensation caused by the deiermii a
tion of Mr. Hooseveit hot to be receive by
the pope on the terms made by Cardinal
Merry Del Val continues unabuled. The
piers today is filled Willi coliiniii .,n ihe
subject. The papers of ail shades of poli
tical opinion, xxilli Uiu exception of Ihc
clerical organs, support Mr. Koosevelt's
attitude. M ,me of the violent ami-clerical
sheets intimate that the affair may result
in the doxxnfall of tha papal sccreta.y.
These papeis apparently are trying lo
arouse a great antl-clerieal demonstration
to be made at the railway station when Mr.
Hoosexelt leaves the city on Wednesday
night.
None of these partifan movements his

fhould hixe incited an exhibition of that
very religious hospital. ty which he j
gieally deprecated.
