Subject(s): Kennelly, Martin, -1926, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Root, Elihu, 1845-1937, Wilfley, Lebbeus R.

Anthony Matré tells Reverend Diomede Falconio that he has received a telegram from Catholics in Shanghai, China, through Reverend Martin Kennelly, and has given it to the Associated Press. Shanghai Catholics deny the charge of President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Elihu Root that they are vicious people, and have renewed their petitions for the removal of Lebbus R. Wilfley as judge of United States Court for China.
