Doctors Hopelessly Battle New Crisis;
Relatives and Cardinals Summoned
to Sickroom; Reconciliation With
Brother Effects Bedside Watchers.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ROME, April 16.—7 P. M.—(1 P. M. Atlanta time)—Dr.
Marchiafava and Dr. Amici have frankly expressed he fear that
Pope Pius X will not live through the night. At this hour indica
tions from the sick room are that His Holiness is sinking rapidly.
7:30 P. M. (1:30 Atlanta time)—At this hour it was reported
that the Pope was sinking steadily.
ROME, April 16.—Pope Pius X suffered his most serious re
lapse late to-day.
Beginning at mid-afternoon his fever rose and he seemed to he
losing strength rapidly.
Stimulants were administered.
An extremely alarming night
was predicted for the Pope at
the Vatican, and members of the
family, the Cardinals and the
Curia and the accredited ambas
sadors to the Vatican were
warned to be in readiness to
hurry to the sick room at any
moment.
Dr. Marchiafava, the chief physi
cian, showed grave anxiety.
8 New Playgrounds
Urged for Atlanta
Both Whites and Negroes Would Be
Given Places to Romp Under Com
mittee’s Recommendation.
Six playgrounds for white children
in Atlanta and two for negroes this
summer is a recommendation befoie
the Park Board to-day. The report,
with this recommendation, was made
by a special committee appointed to
make an investigation.
The grounds the committee sug
gests be s*et aside for the white chil
dren art y Mims Park, Grant Park,
Joyner, English Avenue School. Pine
Park and Hill Park. The opening of
a playground in the woolen mills dis
trict is under advisement.
An adverse report was made on the

He said
he would hold himself ready to re
spond to any call made.
Dr. Amici went to the sick room
to spend the night there.
Earlier in the day Signor Patriaca.
legal representative of the Holy See,
visited the Vatican and, according to
reports, drew up the Pope’s will.
Early this morning the following
bulletin was issued at the Vatican:
His Holiness rested eesily for
several hours last^ night. His
temperature is 98.2.’ Expectora
tion is easy and the condition of
his h*»rt is good.
From another and reliable source it
was learned that Pope Pius is greatly
weakened by his inability to take suf
ficient nourishment and from lack of
sleep.
This same informant, contrary to
the Vatican bulletin, declared the
Pontiff found expectoration very hard
.iuring the night, and at times was in
lianser of suffocation.
Still Fears of Pneumonia.
Fears of pneumonia have not yet
passed. The Pope’s left lung is in
flamed and his throat is raw and
swollen. Stimulants were adminis
tered during the night to assist the
heart action.
The lawyer Patriarch who repre
sents the Holy See was summoned to
the Vatican this morning. The same
lawyer drew up the last testament
of Pope Leo XIII, and the Inference
It that he has been asked to do the
same for Pope Pius X.
The lawyer Patriarch was sum
moned after Professor Marchiafava,
the Pope's physician, had had a long
onference with Cardinal Merry- del
Val. Papal Secretary of State.
Earlier in the morning the Pope's
sisters entered the Vatican and were
received by Mgr. Parolin, the Pope's
nephew, who held them waiting in an
ante-chamber until the doctors ha.i
j ended their visit. They then en
tered the Pope's chamber. Later they
adjourned to an adjoining chapel,
where they heard two masses.
Asks About His Condition.
The Pope’s physicians have become
very clever in eluding would-be in
terviewers. They enter sometimes
l‘by one door and sometimes by an
other and there is an infinite number
of entrances to choose from. If they
see a group of newspaper men wait
ing before the great bronse door,
i they go in by the side entrance, and
so on. If they should happen to be
j >aught by any one, they are utterly
non-committal.
On awaking from a nap this morn-
ng the Pope asked for a coding
drink, which was handed to him by
the doctor.
"Is my condition very serious?” he
asked calmly, with a smile on his
I htce.
'No, Holy Father,” Dr. Amici an-
iwered. “We trust Providence will
'estore >qu to health. The prayers
of all Christendom are with you.”
God’s will be done with me. as
*ith every other person. I am ready,”
j ’he Pope responded, and shortly aft-
| * l '*'ard he sank to sleep.
Embraces Estranged Brother.
Angelo Sarto, the Pope's brother,
"ho is postmaster of a little town in
ne department of Venice, visited the
I t ' ,r k room to-day. having arrived in
until the Pontiff reached a state bor
dering extremis.
The meeting between the Pope and
his aged brother was highly affecting
and a complete reconciliation of their
one-time estrangement was brought
about.
Angelo, who is an old man, kissed
his brother on both cheeks while he
brokenly asked for forgiveness and a
benediction.
Despite his weakness, the Pope
raised both of his arms and affection
ately placed them around his brother's
neck
"I have ever loved you. Angelo,”
murmured the Pontiff. “I have never
borne ill will.”
Angelo covered his face with his
hands and sobbed while he whispered
prayers for his brother's recovery
Although the Pope’s fever had
abated during the night, the febrile
symptoms became more pronounced
after daybreak when the Pontiff be
came awake and began to toss rest
lessly in bed.
Wants to See Sunshine.
He asked to be allowed to see the
sunshine and was querulous when Dr.
Marchiafava said that he must re
main quiet In bed.
That Dr. Marchiafava is worried by
the recurring relapses from rallies is
plainly evident, for each relapse un
doubtedly leaves the patient a little
weaker than he was before.
The Cardinals of the Curia are re
ported to have been notified by Car
dinal Merry Del Val. Papal Secretary
of State, that the Pope is in an alarm
ing condition, but that life may be
prolonged.
The weather was still slightly chilly
to-day. A number of American tour
ists who are here remained for some
time in St. Peter’s Square, gazing at
the windows in the Pontiff's sickroom.
Wishes to See Airship.
Count Pecci, a nephew of the late
Pope Leo XIII and former commander
of the Palace Guards, visited the Vat
ican at noon. He was told that the
Pope had been moved near the win
dow, when informed that officers in
the avlaUon corps and King Victor
thought of sending a dirigible balloon
over the Vatican. The Pope ex
pressed a wish to see the airship if it
should make a flight.
Signor Patriarca, a famous Roman
lawyer who represents the Holy See,
visited the Vatican, where he con
ferred with Cardinal Merry Del \ ai.
This lawyer drew up the will of Pope
Leo XIII, and it is believed he was
asked to do the same for Pope Pius X.

The Georgian to-day received a
strange letter from Columbia, S. C.
asking that an advertisement be in
serted for a runaway wife whose hus
band has been prostrated ever since
she left and calls for her in his de
lirium.
This is the advertisem-m sent for
insertion:

B. C. JAMES,
Columbia, S. C.
The woman left Columbia over a
week ago, according to the letter.
She had J32 on her person, and is said
to have come to Atlanta.
"If she sees this ad she will come
back.” the writer says. "It seems as
if brother will go into fits about it if
she does not.”
WASHINGTON, April 16.—Wil
lis L. Moore, Chief of the Weath
er Bureau, fas summarily re
moved from office to-day by
President W'son.
Moore’s jismissal followed a
conference between the President
and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, after which it was an
nounced that “the Chief of the
Weather Bureau has been re
moved for serious irregularities.”
Moore's resignation was accept
ed by President Wilson about
three weeks ago, but was not to
go into effect until July 31.
A successor has not been ap
pointed.
Police to Hold Rig
Spring Picnic May 15
Program of Features Expected to
Lure Record Crowd to
Warm Springs.
Atlanta's “finest'’ have sounded a
real note of spring.
They announced to-day the police
picnic at Warm Springs on Thursday,
May 15. and have commenced prepa
rations to make it the most success
ful outing in the history of the po
lite department.
The police didn’t have a picnic last
year, and they missed it. They have
determined this year to make up for
it by giving their friends one of the
biggest picnics ever run out of At->
lanta.
The program of features has not
been completed, but it will contain
music, dancing, games and athletic
sports galore. The bluecoats expect
several thousand Atlantans to enjoy
the day at Warm Springs as their
guests.
WASHINGTON, April 16.—Seven
teen Weather Bureau officials in as
many cities tare concerned in the
scandal alleged by the resolution for
an investigation introduced in the
House by Congressman Fowler, of
Illinois.
Most, if not all. had something to
do with the campaign waged by Pro
fessor Willis L. Moore, chief of the
Weather Bureau, for Secretary of Ag
riculture under Wilson, in which, it is
charged, Moore used Federal em
ployees and money.
Professor Moore to-day branded the
charges against him as “false and
malicious.”
VonHerrmann In List.
The weather officials concerned are:
C. F. VonHerrman, Atlanta, Ga.; Pro
fessor Henry J. Cox, Chicago; Frank
G. Tingley, Washington; Professor J.
Warren Smith, Columbus, Ohio, F. J.
Walz, Louisville, Ky.; A J. Mitchell,
Jacksonville, Fla.; J. F. Voorhees,
Knoxville, Tenn.; Lee A. Denson, Ral
eigh, N. C.; Alfred Thiessen, Salt
Lake City; J. W. Smith, Boston; Har
ry O. Gerin, Columbia, S. (\; George
M. Chappell, Des Moines, Iowa; Isaac
M. Cline, New Orleans; W. S. Belden,
St. Joseph, Mo.; Ulysses G. Pursell,
St. Paul. Minn.; Harold G. Noyes,
Lexington. Ky.. and Thorp B. Jen
nings, Topeka, Kas.
These are the men who took part
in a conference in Atlanta last No
vember, at which, it is charged, Pro
fessor Moore's candidacy was talked
over. It was at this meeting also, it is
further charged, that prominent citi
zens of Atlanta and other Southern
cities were asked to indorse Moore.
Report Tells of Work.
According to information in Mr.
Fowler’s possession. Mr. VonHerr-
mann. weather official at Atlanta, ex
pended time and energy making prep
arations for the convention at which
plans for Professor Moore’s candidacy
were worked out and in seeking to
buttonhole persons to get their in
dorsements for Professor Moore.
In a report which Mr. Fowler will
submit, it is said, for instance:
“Mr. C. F. VonHerrmann was un
able to secure from the city of At
lanta or from the State of Georgia
any favorable recommendations.’’
This, if true, indicates Mr. VonHerr
mann spent some time on the task,
which failed. If it were government
time, he may find himself in difficulty
with the administration.
Of the men who took part in the
Atlanta meeting, the following are
known t.o have received advances in
salary during the conduct of their
chief’s campaign:
Salary Increases Made.
1. M. Cline, from $2,400 to $3,000;
J. W. Smith, of Boston, $2,400 to
$3,000; J. Warren Smith, $8,500 to
$3,000; A. J. Mitchell. $2,000 to $2,400;
A. H. Thiessen, $1,800 to $2,000; L. A.
Denson, $1,600 to $1,800; H. O. Gerin,
$1,400 to $1,800: J. F. Voorhees, $1,-
600 to $1,800, and G M. Chappell,
$1,000 to $1,200.
There were many other promotions
in the service during Moore’s cam
paign, so many that the funds of the
Weather Bureau fell about $5,000
short of meeting expenses.

Wilson Is Silent on
Panama Canal Tolls
Not Expected to Side With Great
Britain When He Makes Pub
lic His Attitude.
WASHINGTON, April 16—Mr. Wil
son will not speak on the Panama
Canal tolls issue until he has to.
Then his utterance will be direct and
to the point, declared Secretary Tu
multy to-da.v when questioned as to
reports from London that the Chief
Executive had assured Ambassador
Bryce that Great Britain’s protest
over the free passage of American
coastwise vessels through the Pan
ama Cana would be regarded as valid
by this Government.
The President, it was stated at the
White House to-day has not made
any declaration of his views on the
canal question. When he does, it is
not expected that they will coincide
with those of Great Britain.
Says He Can Revive
Scott, Dead a Year
BRIDGEPORT. CONN.. April 1C.—
“Convinced that the body of Captain
Scott, the English explorer whose life
was lost a year ago returning from
the South Pole, is frozen in the snow
in a perfectly healthy condition, I am
confident that I can reach him and
restore him to life. An expedition will
leave San Francisco in August for
New Zealand and from there we will
commence the journey for the place
where Captain Scott’s body was left
by his comrades.”
This was the announcement made
to-day by Count August DeCastellane
Seymore, a Danish nobleman.
With the use of the recently invent
ed Eiscnberger respirator, the pulmo-
tor and other scientific appliances
Count Seymore believes he will be
able to resuscitate Captain Scott, de
spite his condition of a year's stand
ing.

WASHINGTON, April 16— The
Japanese protest against the passage
of the California alien land law de
livered to the President by Ambassa
dor Chinda yesterday formed the
principal topic of discussion at the
White House to-dav. The President
discussed it with members of the
Cabinet.
When the alien land bill lias passed
both houses and has- been signed by
Governor Johnson the President will
issue a statement addressed to the
Japanese Ambassador, in which he
is expected to say the Federal Gov
ernment does not set* that it can in
terfere in a State's rights (juestion.
This, the President is aware, may
bring on a diplomatic clash, but this
would be preferable to an infraction
of the century-old Democratic doc
trine of the sanctity of States’ rights,
the administration says. The utmost
reprisal that the Japanese could for
mulate would be a boycott of Amer
ican goods and that would injure
principally California, the State re
sponsible for the whole problem.

New Tax Date Means
Slump, Says Wright
Corporations Gain, State Loses By
Advancing Timefor Returns,
Declares Comptroller.
Comptroller General Wright to-day
declared that the new State lsfw mak
ing corporations' taxes returnable be
fore March 1. based on the valuation
of their property January 1, in his
opinion, will los*e the State several
thousand dollars annually.
Formerly tcorporations have had
until May 1 to make returns, which
were baseu upon the valuation of their
property January 31. The new date
for valuation. January 1. is also the
date upoq. which the corporations pay
semi-annual interest on their bonds,
and because of this a large amount
of cash leaves their treasuries on
this* date and the State is deprived
of the taxes on the money.
Tax returns compiled by the comp
troller general show that the in
creases over last year are not large,
due mostly to the increase in operat
ing expenses. Two of the returns
were sent back for revision—those of
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany and of the Southern Bell Tele
phone and Telegraph Company.
MACON, GA., April 16.—The suit

has been settled for a substantial
sum. According to an announcement
from the girl’s attorney, the check
from Dozier was received this after
noon.
Essie Carter was dragged out of
her house in Dawson at night by
W. S. Dozier because of her atten
tion to Dozier's son Voght, and war
beaten with a horsewhip while, ac
cording to her suit, a negro held a
lantern. The other defendants in the
suit, who are parties to the settle
ment, are J. C. Dozier and Clyde Do
zier, brothers of Voght. and Pope Mc-
Clung James Geise, Erwin McCrne
