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.

Man, in Delirium, Calls Runaway Wife Woman in Atlanta, Says Strange Let ter and Advertisement From . Columbia, S. C. Dismissal Follows Charges He Had Used Department Officials to Boom Candidacy for Secretary; Von Herr mann Figures in Case. 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. Acme last night.

"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.

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.

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. * r 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.

He said Professor Morgan declined to do so. At a meeting of the State Nursery, men’s Society in Nashville in January Professor Voorhees conferred with leaders of that society in Professor Moore’s behalf and the convention formally indorsed Moore’s* candidacy.

He says this had been promised him six months before the Atlanta affair. $200,000 Charter Asked. COLUMBUS.—Frank G. Power. S. T. Whittaker, E. B. Reed, J. M. Crawford and R. P.
