A bank robbery, with wild West features, was pulled off by four desperados In IMcKee's Rocks, Pa., on Tuesday with the claying of two men and the possible fatal shooting of another. The robbers themselves, covering their escape of volleys of revolver shots, got safely away with at least $100 in cash from the ofll- , cers of the Victor Banking company. ] Samuel Kledman, general inuniifcc-i of the company, was killed, his as- * sistant, Isaac Schwartz, who was 1 dangerously wounded in the head, j died later on the operating? table ] while the surgeons were probing for 1 the#hullet, which penetrated his * brain, and Robert King, a passer-by, was seriously shot in the groin. The , latter is in McKee's Rocks Hospital. Friedman and Schwartz were alone in the h-ank, which does a foreign exchange business on the outskirts of McKee's Rocks, counting the day's cash, which was spread upon the counter when four foreigners invaded the place with guns. Friedman was shot twice, while one of the men scooped up the money but as they es(uai*?d the wounded Friedman followed them, shouting for help, only to fall with another volley from the robbers.

SECRETARY TALKS OF THE INCIDENT. Pope Demanded Assurance That the ex-President Would Not Visit the Hateful Methodists, A dispatch from Rome says now that Mr. Roosevelt has made public ^ the documents which the Vatican had 1 considered confidential, Cardinal I Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of Start,e, wishes the entire history of the negotiations for the audience, which the former President sought of Pope Pius X to be known. Cardinal Merry del Val is credited with the responsibility for the Vatican's p.'uit in the matter, and the following may be accepted as his version: "Following the exchanges between Mgr. Kennedy and American Ambassador L/eishman and Mr. Roosevelt's [lecision not to be received under the terms imposed, John Callon O'l>ough-* I in, who was assistant Secretary of State in 1900, and a personal friend )f 'Mr. Roosevelt, called upon Cardinal Merry del Val, bearing an intro1 action from Mgr. Falconio, Apostolic delegate in the United States. Immediately after being introduced to, die presence of the Cardinal Mr 1 D'Loughlin said: " 'I do not come in the name of Mr. Roosevelt, but on my own account, as an American Catholic."" Cardinal Merry del Val said "Then wh:it nrn wo hnro fnr Tt is lisclesK to discuss the matter. If you do not represent Mr. Roosevelt you cannot make any arrangement or speak for' him." Mr. O'TxMighlin replied: "What I consider important is to tell your eminence that if the two dispatches sent by Mgr. Kennedy are retracted, I can assure you that Mr. Roosevelt will accept your audience." Cardinal Merry del Val said. "I will not discuss Mr. Roosevelt's right, but give me confidential assurance that de facto, Mr. Roosevelt will not go to the Methodists and the audience will occur." i.Mr. O'lAMighlin refused to give this assurance. The Cardinal then said: "Mr l?nnsovolt is free to tro to the Methodists and do whatever he . chooses, hut the Pontiff is certainly free not to receive a man who would claim the right to insult him on the day after having been received by him or perhaps on the same day, as, according to your statement lie may leave Rome 011 the same day of the Papal audience, thus having only between Noon and evening Tuesday in which to see the IMethodists. "It is of little consequence whether lie is a Catholic, Protestant, Is- j raelites or Buddhist. All religions persons merit the same esteem. The important thing is to bo honest and sincere. So far as the form of belief is concerned I believe that all honest people will be always 011 good 1 terms with C'od." DANCE COSTS A LIFM. 1 Snaps Pistol at Wife's Partner and , Is Himself Shot.

The audience with the king was promptly arranged. Before an arrangement could he reached relative to an audience with the Pope, several telegrams were passed, and the negotiations were ended hy Mr. Roosevelt refusing in any way to he limited as to his conduct, and announcing that an audience with the Pope under the circumstances was now impossible. The history of the negotiation is about as follows: While at Cairo, Mr. Roosev'dL received the following telegram rrrm Ambassador Leishman, dated March 23rd: "Monsignor ennedy, rector of the American Catholic college, in reply to an inquiry which I caused to be made, requests that the following communication be transmitted to you. " 'The Holly Father will b? delighted to grant an an Hence to Mr. Roosevelt on April 5, and hopes ih u nothing will arise to prcvoM P, such as the much regretted incident which made the reception of Mr. Fairbanks impossible ' " Replying by cable to Ambassador Eeishman on March 25, Mr. Roosevelt said: " - ? x it. - r .n JTieaso present ui? ifan'wuiR lu Monsignor Kennedy: "It would no a real pleasure to me to be presente-1 to the Holy Father, for whom I entertain high respect, both personally and as the h^ad cf a great church.

On th>e tlier hand, I, in my ti:in, must decline to make any stipulate ins or submit to any conditions which in any way would limit my freedom of conduct. I trust that on April 6 he will find it convenient to receive me." On March 28, Mr. Roosevelt, at Cairo, received a cablegram from Embassador Leishman giving a message from Monsignor Kennedy, which concludes by saying: "The audience cannot take place except on the understanding expressed in the former message." The following day Mr. Roosevelt sent another message to the American ambassador, saying: "The proposed presentation is, of ourse, now impossible." The determination of Mr. Roosps/elt to forego an audience with Pope Pius X rather than subscribe to the conditions imposed by the Vatican has created a sensation.

Says the Bought Rider Has Bamboozled the Public Ix>ng Enough and He Must Ho Still. "All this hurrah about Roosevelt and the manifest effort to make him a presidential factor Irritates me so that I do not like to discuss it," said Senator Tillman, as he was leaving Atlanta for a visit to his home on Wednesday. "I think the idea of Roo3evelt incoming a candidate for the presidency or an important factor in ' ' - - .-i i-l f)M..?klUan siraigniening oui tat? ivfiniuuvim party is absurd. In the first place, Taft would be more than human if be did want vindication and a second term. "His alliance with Aldrich and the money powers will insure him the support of Wall street, whose captains of finance would give up millions to encompass the defeat of Roosevelt. "In the second place, the idea of Roosevelt straightening out the Re publican party is absurd. "He is not so clean and straight himself. He has bamboozled the public time and time again. "Roosevelt is the creation of the newspep^rs and little else. They lent themselves to his making in the m/ost remarkable manner this country has ever known. i\o, I do not think Roosevelt, can be resurrected. What will be his future? That is hard to forecast. Doubtless he will have to adjust himself to the difficulties of private citizenship. "This will be hard, and it will be a pretty physchological study for the country to watch. But others have had to tackle it, and why not Roosevelt?" HAVE STREET DUEL. One Man Killed and the Other One Makes llis Escape. THvn frenchmen fought a duel ear ly Friday morning in a New York street, not far from the Fast Side water front. One of them was killed by a shot fired straight through his head. His adversary escaped, leaving no clue to his identity. The strange battle was seen, as far as learned by only one witness, an automobilist, who was speeding down the street on his way to his uptown home. By the light of his automobile lamp, though two blocks away, he saw the two men step out from a hallway, measure off a certain number of paces and then turn quickly, revolvers in hand. There were three quick shots and one of the combatants fell. The other, throwing down the weapon, dashed back into the hallway and made his escape. The automobilist quickly called the police, but th' patrolman found nothing but the corpse and the two revolvers. The dead man has not been identified. * SAILORS MUHDKREI). Accomplice in the Crime Makes Confession. Retribution for the mysterious murders of sailors, long a puzzle at the ports of Puget Sound,semms now close at hand. Giving alleged details of the killing of John Hoffman and Charhs Hedberg, John Klingenberg has made a sworn confession to Prosecuting Attorney Campbell a* Aberdeen, Wash. Klingenberg says that he, under threat of death at the hands of William Gobi, killed Hedberk. The statement charges the slaying of Hoffman direct to Gohl, who is a former agent of the Sailor's Union, and is under arrest at Monte Sano, waiting trial for wholesale slaying that trial. As in many previous cases two sailors, Hedberg and Hoffman, disappeared mysteriously. Hedberg's body was found, but search failed to reveal Hoffman. TilK ATLANTA WAY. ?

As the comet approach*s the earth there are all sorts of specula- i tions as to what it will do to the old planet on which we live. The superstitious are worrying without cause ever the dreadful things they expect will happen when it gets near the earth, forgetting that nothing ever has happened from its former visits nor from those of any other comet. Scientists naturally anticipate its coming with scientific interest in the hope that some light may he shed upon the movements and constituents of these mysterious visitors. Then, again, there are others who assert that the celestial wander- i er will bring to tho world anj amount of good. Here, for instance, is a professor (they are always professors) who says that the star dust emitted by the comet's tail when it envelopes the earth will clarify the minds of men, lead to higher thought, and set us all studying the signs of the zodiac. We are not much interested in the zodical chart, but we welcome anything that will clarify the mind and lead to loftier thinking, of which there is great need. What miracles . we may expect the comet to work. Our lawmakers, who not so frequently seem to be befogged, xn i 11 be | able to think and act with infalible J _ ...

The whole puzzle of high prices will be immediately solved, and every mind, whatever its former benighted state, will become so luminous as to oh arly understand all the workings of the tariff. It is even possible that it may so affect the minds of some witnesses in beef, sugar and other trust trials, that the j unfortunate lapse of memory from which they now suffer may be entirely overcome and every detail of past shady transaction remembered and recounted. If Halley's comet will only do these things may it come soon and remain a long time. The Wishing Season. The soul stirring, lines, "Now digs the hoy the garden plot with energy intense," etc." now thrills the heart of many a small boy, as well as many elderly philosphers of Izaak Waltonesque turn of mind. It is one of the strange mysteries of boy nature, why a squirming youth who can not stand still thirty seconds while mother brushes his hair, will sit entranced on a lake side for two hours and a half, watching the bohing of a cork. And many a man who will go into tantrums if a meal is five minutes late, will leave customers and clients banging away at his office door, while h< gathers in , J few measly Ping- rlings hardly enough J to satisfy the hunger of an athletic i eat. And happy is the man or boy I to who the soul of the woods makes I this profound appeal. The old time love of mother nature is almost burned out of our lives by frantic dollar chasing, so that comparatively few men get much satisfaction out of mere observation of natural beauty. Hut Pishing adds just enough zest of contest, so that the healing influences of out door life can do their blessed work in our hearts and brains. ? t Nine Killed at a Hull right. ] A special from Zacatecas, Mexico, ; says that nine persons were killed i and 20 others injured, three fatally during a panic in a crowd that was leaving the scene of a bull fight there last Sunday. * ' HOMKY, y.
