CROPS OF SOUTH GEORGIA ARE DAAAAGED SY GOLD 'emperature Drops as Low as |98 Degrees During Monday After a Very Tranquil Night. General Conditions Good (By Associated Press.) ROME, April 14.-9:35 A. M.—The bul letin issued by the papal physicians |early today reads: “His holiness passed a tranquil night. [Bronchial' symptoms are reassuring. [Temperature 99. General condition good. 1 ‘MA RCHIAFA VA. “AMICI.*’ While the bulletin issued by the pope s [physicians this morning is optimistic, [it leaves many incredulous that the pa tient really asd had a turn for tne |better. Undoubtedly, however, there was a no ticeable amelioration in the pope’s con dition during the night. The improvement is considered most encouraging. Last night was the sev enth since the first relapse suffered by the pope and the gravest anxiety had [been caused by his increasing weakness and malnutrition. During the night the pope’s tempera ture gradually decreased until it went down to 98 degrees. Prof. Ettore Marchiafava again sub mitted the pontiff to a long and minute examination today. He gave special at tention to the condition of the heart and the aorta. He “was satisfied that the bronchial inflammation on the left [side had not increased. The pope’s temperature decreased at 1 o’clock this afternoon to 98 degrees. The [disappearance of fever is interpreted as a sign that there is no more'fear of |pneumonia. 1:15 P. M.—Prof. Ettore i^archiafava [on leaving the pope’s apartment after [examining him said: "I now trust that the pope’s illness Fwill have a favorable solution, if it's [possible to induce the patient to take [proper care of himself." Although the pope rested during [forenoon the physicians were some what concerned about his increasing weakness. His heart, however, showed no symptoms of failing. The ponitft took no notice of those [around him. For the most part he re- [mained silent and passive. In the middle of the day the pope had a shprt sleep almost uninterrupted by coughing, tlis temperature was slightly above 98 degrees, his pulse 85, and'his respiration 26. Dr. Amici visited the pope twice after the departure of Prof. Marchiafava this morning. According to an understand ing between the two physicians, he did not call Prof. Marchiafava again, as he considered trie pope’s condition station-, ary- Prof. Marchiafava is to see' ~Tne pope again tonight. Unprecedented Weather' Is Causing Much Alarm at Present to Farmers QUITMAN, Ga., April 14.—Unprece dented cold weather has done great damage to crops in Brooks county, which has caused much anxiety among the farmers and merchants of the entire section. The oat crp, which has been seriously retarded and in many lo calities destoyed by rust, has received its withering blow from the present cold. It is believed that the oat crop will not be woth the first cost of seed in its planting and in some sections of the county, especially in the southern part, farmers are already turning their live stock upon the devastated oat fields, having abandoned all hope of maturity. The cold has withered the watermelon plants throughout the en tire county. The plants tvere two to three inches high, very tender and very brittle. The penetrating wind which has been steadily blowing from the* north for three days, has blown the young plants '•against the ground to such an extent that planting of the entire crop will be necessary, unless there is a speedy return to warmer weather. The cotton has been affected by the cold, but not to*a degree to make it ap pear there will be the necessity of re planting. Should the cold weather pre vail much longer, it will be a different story*, and it might be necessary to re plant much of it. Corn has been de layed, but not seriously damaged up to the present. The weather* Monday morning is cloudy and cold.^and the fields are swept by a biting wind from the north. Farmers are greatly discouraged, but hopeful that better conditions will pre vail withip the next twenty-four hours. MRS.

WASHINGTON, April 14.—Chairman [Underwood of the ways and means com mittee, was ordered to bed today by his physicians, who declared he had a .slight fever and was in danger of a breakdown from hard work on the tar iff bil.l He may be confined for several days. His illness, however, did not irv- |terfere with the house caucus today. Chairman Underwood’s friends were [inclined to minimize his illness, saying he surely w*ould be back at his desk after a few days. Politically, his en forced absence from the Democratic caucus, where as chairman of the ways and means committee and leader of the house Democrats standing behind the administration tariff bill, was considered of such importance that it could not be dismissed lightly. Today Representative. Francis Burton | Harrison,, of New York, one of Mr. Un derwood’s closest lieutenants and a stanch supporter of the administration, took charge at the caucu's and the work went on. There is a strong fight on in the house against the administration wool and sugar program. It is conceded on every side that the absence of Mr. Underwood gives courage to the forces opposing the proposals President Wilson favors.

Quite a number of orchardists are discouraged over the outlook and do not look for even as high a per cent of the crop to mature as is reported from other sec tions of the state. One peach grower, esasperated, has cut dbwn his orchard and will cultivate the land this year. According to reports it is believed that practically all of the Elbertas are kill ed. Putnam’s fruit crop and a large cannery here, besides many home can neries in the county, have made the fruit crop an item to be considered dur ing the past few years, and the loss from cold will hit heavily in a financial sray. ___ . - _ _ COURT REVERSES GAYN0R; BROADWAY WILL REJOICE Cabaret Shows Can Be Staged in Cafes After 1 A, M,, Says Court ’ (By Associated Press.)

ECHOLS ARRESTED AT ADAIRSVILLE NEW LIFE WILL NIL JUDGE WOODS .S. Chairman Evans, of South Carolina, Makes Forecast of This Appointment (Special Dispatch to The .Journal) COLUMBIA, S. C., April 14.—John day, and while here talked interestingly of the state Democratic executive com mittee, was a vlqU&r.jti}: Columbia to day, and while fieer talked interestingly of the national political situation. Governor Evans thinks that chances of Asooiate Justice C. A. Woods of the state supreme court being appointed on the federal bench to Succeed Judge Goff are excellent. Mr. Evans has been In Washington urging the appointment of Judge Woods, and while there saw President Wilson and the cabinet. The president knows Judge Woods person ally and there is every reason to be lieve that Judge Woods will be named on the federal bench. It is gratify ing to South Carolina to have her able jurist recognTzed and President Wil son’s selection of Judge Woods for the federal bench, If he picks him, will be received with deep approval throughout the state. Judge Woods is one of the best liked men in the state, in whom everybody has implicit confidence. State Chairman Evans is enthusiastic over the national administration and is confident that President Wilson is go ing to be one the geratest chief exec utives this great nation has ever had. He has, said Mr. Evans, gathered around him an able set of advisers in thorough sympathy with the progres sive policies of the administration. It is a people’s government, said Mr. Ev ans, and President Wilson is going to carry out the platform on which he and the Democratic party were victo rious. The Democratic party is behind the president and they are going to back him up and give the people the reforms which they voted for in the opinion of Mr. Evans. The outlook for harn^ony in the Democratic ranks is bright and there is every reason to look for the success of the present administration, declared the speaker. Mr. Evans, while keenly interested in state politics, would have nothing to say. It has been the very general idea and expectation that he would enter the race against Governor Blease for the United States senate next year but as to that he had no comment.

He is the pres ent chairman of the state Democratic executive committee, having been chos en to that position last year and will serve until the next state convention in May.

NEW TARIFF WILL NOT NTERRUPT BUSINESS President Wilson Says the Un derwood Bill Meets General Approval of the Country (Bv Associated. "Pros*!.) WASHINGTON, April 14.-President Wilson believes the tariff bill meets the general approval of the country; that no healthy business *wiU be interrupted and that while In most cases the cost of liv ing will not be immediately reduced, the consumer will feel at once the beneflt % of a reduction In the sugar duty. These views were expressed today by the president in an open talk with news paper nfen at the White House. He ex plained that his main reason for desiring a reduction on sugar was that the con sumer deserves It. The president declared that arrange ments by which prices were fixed would surely be made impossible when a truly competitive situation was created, and that the public would get the benefit, very promptly in the case of sugar be cause he knew competitive elements were ready to contest. Criticisms he said had been received from some legitimate interests contend ing that the cuts in. their ca$es were more than they could at present stand. Mr. Wilson said he did not see 'any ruinous cuts in the bill, fie referred to the fact that the members of the ways and means committee had heard every person in interest and that their judg ments were based on those hearings. It was suggested to the president that many Ohio Democrats in congress felt that free wool would be ruinous to the woolen industry. Mr. Wilson said he had been trying to inform himself as much as possible on that subject but he did not feel their fears* were justified by facts. He* remarked that he had heard just the other day that the price of wool was the same on both sides of the water. In connection with the sugar tariff the president was asked if he thought sugar factories, both beet and cane, could op erate under free sugar. He said that he certainly thought they could, remarking with a smile that the factories might shut down for effect for a time but that they would open for business later. The president said he hoped to open reciprocity negotiations with various countries as soon as the tariff bill was passed. Released Debtor When 8 Children Cried for Bread (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. April 14.—Louis Druck- er, a ladies’ tailor of Brooklyn, owes his release from jail-to the appetites' and lungs of his eight children. Sam uel Cohen who won a judgment for $15 against Drucker and had him sent to jail for fifteen days because he re fused to pay, lost the joy of his tri umph a few hours later when Mrs. Drucker, wife of the imprisoned fath er, appeared at the Cohen home to gether with her eight children, de manding that Cohen feed her family. She left her clamorous brood to howl at Cohen’s door. After hours of this, Cohen half in pity and half in desper ation, was forced to send for bread and milk to feed the- children. Driven to further discomfiture by neighbors who maliciously congratulated him on the sudden addition to his family. Co hen finally gave in and led the chil dren home with the promise that he would get their father out of jail. He found that he could do so only by pay ing the costs which amounted to $5.33. He settled the bill and sent Drucker back to his family. THIS CONGRESSMAN WOULD ABOLISH CAUCUS WASHINGTON, April 14.-—The secret caucus in congress would be abolished and would be unlawful for a caucus or conference to bind a legislator to vote against his best judgment, according to a bill introduced today by Representa tive Morgan.

WASHINGTON, April 14.—The Inter nal revenue colleetorshlp for the west ern district of North Carolina, was the suhjS'et of a conference at the White House today between President Wilson and Senators Simmons and Overman. An interesting situation has developed with reference to this place of patron age. Secretary of Navy Josephus Dan iels is credited with having interested himself in the matter, and his views are said to be at variance with the wishes of the North Carolina senators. A. D. Watts, of Statesville, who is clerk of the senate finance committee, is the choice of Senators Simmons and Overman for the collectorship. Secre tary Daniels is advocating the appoint ment of W. C. Dowd, editor of the Char lotte News and former speaker of the Carolina assembly. Watts is also a member of the state senate, and managed Senator Simmons’ campaign fpr re-election. Before his appointment as clerk of the finance committee he was Senator Sim-, mons’ private secretary. An interesting sidelight on the situa tion is the activity of E. J. Justice, of Greensboro, who is a tentative condidate for the senate against Overman. Justice was very active in the pre-convention fight for President Wilson. Recently he was in Washington and was presented to the president by Secretary Daniels. It is understood that he protested the appointment of Watts and advocated the nomination of Dowd. Leaders Differ in Opinions Regarding 1 The Cause of Vice PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 14.—Wide ly different views regarding the relation of low wages to vice were expressed here yesterday by prominent speakers. Dean Walter T. Sumner, of the Cathe dral of St. Peter and St. Paul, Chicago, in an address to students of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, declared that low wages drive many girls into shame. “It is no wonder,” he said, “that an under-paid girl falls into evil, which will enable her to liye. Everywhere the working girl is met by the male pro curer. Huddled among coarse and vul gar male companions, lonely, under-fed and hungry for companionship and amusement, after hard toil, she falls a prey to these men.” Rabbi Joseph Krause Kopiff, in ad dress to his congregation said: .“Careful inquiry discloses that it is not the hard working, little paid woman who generally goes the way of the bad, but, for the most part, it is the woman whose comfortable income enabled her to acquire a taste for luxury and finery and pleasure which taste could, in time, be gratified only through larger income, even if by illicit means, or it is the woman who, possessnig physical attrac tion and being disinclined to employ ment, chose “the easest way” of 'escap- ng the druldgery of life. For centuries Ireland has ranked among the poorest countries of Europe and France among the richest, and yet Ireland is noted for the purity of its women and France for the oppasite.” THOMAS PRISONERS MAKE CABBAGE RECORD (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) THOMASVILLE, Ga., April 14.—-Ac cording: to the report sent in to the county commissioners there were 1,535 cabbages eaten by the convicts in the different camps around Thomas county during the month of March. A feature of these cabbages, too, is that they were all grown upon the farm at the county almshouse and supplied by the super intendent. These cabbages were said to be un usually fine ones, too, and as the health of the camps is reported good they seem to have filled the bill well a3 an article of-diet. FRANK L. POLK WILL SUCCEED WM. L0EB, JR. New York Lawyer Draws Place as Collector of Custom at Nation’s Metropolis , WASHINGTON, April 14.—Frank L. Polk, a New York lawyer and form er chairman of the New York civil serv ice commission, has formally accepted President Wilson’s offer to become col lector of customs at New York, suc ceeding William Loeb, Jr., and his nomination is expected to be sent to the senate when it meets tomorrow. Secertary McAdoo urged the president to appoint him. DAVIS MAY LAND U. S. MARSHALL PLACE (By Associated Press.) MADRID, April 14.—King Alfonso took a ride in the park this morning and was warmly saluted by crowds who noisily expressed their joy "that the king had escaped the bullets fired by the anarch ist, Rafael Allegro, yesterday. Allegro was still in a merry mood to day. During his examination he forced the guards surrounding him and the in terrogating magistrate to laugh at his witty comments. Inquiries made by the police In Barce lona show that Allegro was recently re jected as a candidate for the Spanish military service owing to his suffering from nervous attacks. He had been fre quently without employment. His wife is a woman of noble birth. For the third time in his reign Kins Alfonso narrowly escaped being the victim of an anarchist attempt against his life yesterday. Three shots were fired at the king during the afternoon In the streets of the capital by a na tive of Barcelona, Rafael Sanchez A1 legro, who was Immediately overpow ered. King Alfonso owes his escapes to his own courage, quickness and skilled horsemanship. Accomapnied by his staff he was riding along the Salle dr Alcala, returning from the ceremony of swearing In recruits, when a man sprang from the sidewalk and seized the bridle of the king’s horse with one hand, presenting a revolver point blank with the other., The ’king, realizing the situation, with lightning rapidity dug his spurs Into his horse, which reared violently. His quickness saved his life. The bul let, instead of burying Itself in the king’s breast, struck the horse on the head, but so close was It that the king’s left hand glove was blackened by the powder discharge. SHOT |THREE TIMES IN ALT,. iBcfore the assailant was able to pull the trigger again a secret service man sprang upon him. ’The two men fell to the ground locked In each other’s arms, struggling furiously. The would- be assassin managed to free his revol ver arm and fired two more shots in rapid succession, but the officer knock ed his arm aside and the bullets flew harmlessly through the air. At the sound of the first shot the king’s staff forced their horses on the sidewalk and made a ring' around the would-be assassin, who fought fiercely in the grip of four policemen before he was overpowered and handcuffed. King Alfonso,' as soon as he saw that the man had been secured, raised him self in the stlrups, turned to the crowd, gave a military salute and shouted In a ringing voice: “Long live Spain!” He then dismounted and reassured his staff, saying: “It Is nothing, gen tlemen.” Then uprose a mighty roar from the wildly enthusiastic masses, which rolled along in great waves of sound, all the way in which the king rode to tile palace, cool, collected and smiling. LYNCHING THREATENED. A spectator, a pensioned royal hal berdier, pushed forward so Impetuously to offer his congratulations to the monarch that he was taken for anoth er assassin, and arrested. He was re leased as soon as the mistake was dis covered. A young Frenchman who was standing beside Allegro was also ar rested, but it does not appear that lie was connected with him. The crowds made a determined at tempt to lynch Allegro, who was .rushed into a house and kept there until an automobile ambulance, escorted by mounted police, transferred him to po lice headquarters. The police investigations have estab lished that Allegro was recently expel I ed from France as an anarchist, after which he went to Barcelona. He ca mo to Madrid a month ago and obtained employment in a carpenter shop. He worked there until Friday. It Is said that during his first exam ination Allegro declared that on seeing the king pass he was seized with a sud den impulse and, having a revolver in h,s pocket, drew it out. Driven on by an irresistible force, he sprang forward and fired. A woman said to be associated with Allegro was arrested last night. A curious coincidence is found in the fact that the Spanish premier. Count Romanones, last night declared to ho absolutely without foundation rumors circulated regarding the possibility of an attempt against the king op the oc casion of the swearing in of the recruits and relative to the'presence In Madrid of several dangerous anarchists. m ■m Albany Man Said to Have Ap proval of United States Senator Bacon j ] BY RALPH SMITH.
