Felt of Kansas: two sons, Wilbur F. Thompson, an attorney at Tulsa, Okla., and Willlam H. Thompson, jr.. a high school student here, and a daughter, Mrs. Thelma Winkemeier of New York City. He was born in Crawfordsville. Ind.. October 14. 1871, and nine years lator his family moved to Nemaha Countv, Kans., where he received his early edu- cation. Following his admission to the bar after several years of study in the law office of his father, Judge John F. Thompson, he became active in State affairs. When 34 years old he was elected to a district judgeship in the district em- bracing Nemaha County. He held the judgeship until 1013, when he was clected to the United States Senate with the largest vote ever accorded a Democrat in Kansas, defeating former Gov. Stubbs of Kansas.

Tacchi-Venturl went to sce the ta premier, submitted to him the s proposal and conclu instructed to ask your exc what sum you would be willing to sell the Chigl library to his holiness.” The premier responded promptly: “I sell nothing to the Pope. To the holy father I present the library. “Thus the conversations for the con- ciliation between church and state be- gan, and they could scarcely have been started under, more favorable auspices. Rev. Tacchi-Venturi was the tactful go- between, but remained entirely in ob- scurity. Finally, however, his name leaked out. ‘The negotiations between church and state, carried on through the distin- guished Jesuit, reached such a stage that last Autumn it was thought advis- able to set forth publicly the attitude of the two contracting parties. Two arti- cles on the subject were published, therefore, in the Osservatore Romano, the official organ of the Vatican, on October 14 and 15, and they were answered on the 20th of the same month in the Foglio D'Ordini, the of- ficlal organ of the Fascista party. Independence Is Sought. From these publicati it appears that what the Vatican a: is that the position of the Pope in Rome should be one of “libery and independence, not only real and perfect, but also manifest to the faithful of the whole world.” The Italian government, on the other hand, stated that “the question, the real political and juridical independence of the holy sce, is not necessarily de- pendent on conditions of a tertitorial character,” adding that it is out of the question to make “any restoration, even in the smallest proportion, of the tem- poral power which ceased in 1870, with great advantage to the moral prestige of the Church of Rome.” ‘The Vatican made no reply. This has been interpreted to mean that an accord has been reached on the fund: mental condition in the sense that “t liberty and independence, real and pe fect, and manifest to the faithful of the whole world,” claimed by the holy see, can be obtained without the restoration of the temporal power, as is stated in the article published by Foglio D'Or- dini and attributed to Premier Mussolini himself. The claim to “liberty and in- dependence” as set forth in Osservatore Romano. even if not actually written by the Pope or Cardinal Gasparri, his secretary of state, was at least dictated and a ved by one of them.

The Itallan state grants to the holy sce an extension of its territory, which will enjoy the right of extra-| territoriality as it has been enjoyed by the apostolic palaces and the Vatican gardens since 1870, The new terri- tory to be added is on the southeast of ‘the Vatican gardens and includes the beautiful villa Doria-Pamphili, one of the largest near Rome, surrounded by a magnificent park more than 4 miles in circuit. In 1650 Innocent X presented it to Olimpia Maidalchini, his brother’s wife. The villa was oc- cupled in 1849 by Garibaldi's Repub- lican troops against the Republican troops of France, the former fighting to keep the Pope out of Rome—he fled on the proclamation of the Roman Re- public—and the latter to bring him back and reinstate him as absolute ruler. Part of the estate was sold by the late Prince Doria to the Russian Prince Abameleck, whose widow still owns it. ‘This property, also compris- ing an extensive park, gardens, various buildings and remarkable works of art, is included in the territory to be ceded to _the Pope. 2. Italy further grants to the Pope an indemnity for the loss sustained by the holy see through the fall of the temporal power, in addition to the pay- ment of the allowance established by the law of guarantecs—passed by the Ttal- fan government on May 13, 1871—for the upkeep of the government of the church. Hitherto the Pontiff has re- fused this allowance of 3.225,000 gold liras yearly, and the total amount now if held to be due, would at the present rate of exchange, with compound inter- est for about 58 years, exceed 2.000,000,- 000 gold liras (approximately $400,000,- 000). Adding to this sum what the Vatican claims for confiscation and occupation of church property. Italy’s debt reaches so many billions that it is | impossible to contemplate the payment | in a lump sum. Means will have to be found to bring it within the range of nossibility. such as spreading it over a long period, instead of paying cash down. Would Move Offices. 3. The conclusion of a concordat be- tween Italy and the holy see, anticipat- ing as much as is humanly possible, all conceivable divergencies in order to find a way to prevent them, or at least to solve them, shc 1 they arise, would be notified to all the countries which have diplomatic relations with the Vatican and with the Italian government.
