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. A policeman's
face, which appeared around
the corner just at the monieut was

With the exception of the lone officer,
who appeared at the corner
as the bandits dashed away, thiere
were no police involved and no wilV
nesses of the robbery. It occurred
A alHHit nine o'clock, the hour at which
< ?w, Jvnnk usually closes. it is be
lieved that Friedman was armed and
returned the robbers' fire, for he apparently
tried to dash after tli-cim,
but 110 revolver was * found by his
body.
Schwartz fell by the counter and
was unconscious thereafter. Kin#,
who is a railroad man, was just
leaving Green's Hotel nearby when
one of the fleeing bandits turned for
a last shot at the policeman. Instead
of hitting the officer it felled
j King. He may recover. Both Frled.4
man and Schwartz were about thirty
T years old and "neither was married.

GIVES HIS VERSION
PAPAL. 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."

President Roosevelt Declines to Accept
Vatican's Terms.
CANCELS CALL ON POPE
While Mr. Roosevelt Concedes the
Right of the Pope to Receive Any
One He Pleases, He Refused to
Accept Conditions Limiting His
Freedom of Action.
The audience which it was believed
ex-P res i dealt Roosevelt would have
with the Pope on Tuesday last did
not take place, owing to conditions
which the Vatican had imposed and I
which Mr. Roosevelt refused to accept.
When at Gondokoro in February

he glad of the honor of an audience
with King Victor Emmanuel and the
Pope. 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.
I fully recognize his entire right to
receive or not receive whjnisoeve"
he chooses, for any reason th it seems
good to him, and if he does not rer>r>i

question the propriety of his action.
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. This incident
overshadows every other feature
of the distinguished American
in his visit to the Eternal City.

GOES FOR TEDDY
SENATOR TI I,LAI AN GIVES HIM
A GOOD ROAST.
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.

What the Comet May I)o.
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.

clearness, ana never ag<uu win im:,,
be indoubt as to the constitutionally
of any measure before congress or a
state legislature. 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.
