LONDON, April 16.—After thirteen day* of flne-toothcomb searching on the Continent, Joseph Wilberforce Martin, the Memphis millionaire who disappeared mysteriously in this city, has not yet been traced to the place where his captors secreted him when detectives got hot on their trail In Lambeth yesterday, although Detec tive William J. Burns believes he will be located soon. There was great excitement early to-day in the neighborhood of Picca dilly when the police raided two re sorts and arrested fifty gamblers on the theory that some of them may have been connected with Martins disappearance or may have some knowledge of it.

The Lambeth and Kensington dis tricts of London are swarming with detectives, searching for the house where Martin is said to be held cap tive by a band of kidnapers. Call for Mr. Sherlock Holmos! According to a well-established theory, Martin was decoyed by a band of card sharps whose members are known to the international police. The Arkansas land deal which Mar tin put through on the eve of his strange disappearance involved $6,- 000,000. Mr. Martin was said to have a large sum of ready cash in his pockets when he dropped out ofsight.

The suggestion has been made to J. Lockhart Anderson, the English friend of Mr. Martin, that he lay the facts before Sir A. Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, and ask Sir Arthur’s aid in running down the kidnaping band. ournalistic License Proposed in Illinois ’Hara Bill Requires Examination of All Newspaper Men and Issu ance of State Certificate.

Men Not Born Equal, Says Edward Griggs America’s Salvation Lies. Asserts Noted Lecturer, in Representa tive Democracy.

Pall Mall Gazette Says His Posi tion on the Tariff Undoubt edly Is Sound. LONDON. April 16.—Commenting editorially to-day on the statement by Wiliam Randolph Hearst, pub lished yesterday in The Washington Post and other American newspapers. The Evening Pall Mall Gazette, a staunch Conservative paper, says: “America's conversion to free trade has met an unfortunate check through the fact that Mr. Hearst, who sup ported President Wilson for election, has already ‘bolted’ from the new tar iff proposals. “Mr. Hearst Is Right.” “The particular significance of his attitude lies in the adoption of such a line of criticism by one who is recog nized as a professional judge of pop ular feeling in such matters. Mr. Hearst is evidently convinced that nothing will more certainly cause a revulsion of feeling on the part of the American people than to spread ihe alarm that free trade is at their gates. We have little doubt that in taking this view he is entirely right." “25 Per Cent Free Trader.” In its editorial regarding Mr. Hearst’s tariff statement. The Even ing Star says: “Although Mr. Hearst supported Dr. Wilson in the presidential campaign, he is now attacking him in his news papers. * * * Mr. Hearst sa>s that most of the advanced and intel ligent thought of England to-day is in favor of a policy of protection, but he does not explain that the British peo ple as a whole have defeated the pro tectionists at three successive elec tions. * 4 * Inasmuch as the av erage ad valorem rates proposed in the Underwood bill would work out about 25 per cent reduction in tariff, as compared with present rate.*', it is fair to say that President Wilson is at least 25 per cent of a free trader.” Mr. Hearst's article, re ferred to above, is publish ed in full on the editorial page of to-day's Georgian.

Denounce Teachings as “Evil,” But Will Make No Attempt to Block Baptism. Characterizing the Mormon propa ganda as evil, a fake and a thing to lie “shunned as a viper,” Atlanta min isters to-day joined in a denunciation of the plans of the Atlanta Church of the Latter Day Saints to hold a public baptizing service at Lakewood next Sunday afternoon. They regard the action of the Mor mons in announcing a public service and in inviting the people of Ailanta to attend as an affront to Christian ity and to the intelligence of the people of the city. The boldness and the audacity of the Mormon Adders Indicates, to the ministers, that they have made rapid strides in the pro mulgation of their doctrines in Atlan ta. and it is not impossible that lo cal ministerial organizations may soon discuss plans to counteract what they term the immoral and evil in fluence of the teachings. It is not probable, however, that efforts will be made to stop the Sun day services. Local ministers say they have investigated the matter in times past, and have learned that there is no legal way of preventing the Mormons, or any other sect or cult, from holding their services and spreading their belief, providing they do not preach the doctrine of polyg amy. » “Should Not Be Molested.” Based on interviews obtained from leading ministers of the city, the pre vailing sentiment among Atlanta churchmen seems to be this: “No attempt should be made to prevent the Mormons from holding their services Sunday, and they should not be molested in any way. Amerca is a free country, and the Constitution of the nation and the laws of Georgia give the Mormons or any other cult the right to worship in their own way and according to their own belief. "Though Mormonism is evil and immoral almost beyond belief, there is no way in which its missionaries can be stopped, save through the dis gust and the abhorrence of the peo ple.” The baptismal service which the Atlanta Mormons plan for Sunday is the culmination of several weeks of unusual activity on the part of their missionaries. Several prominent Mor rnons have been imported from Utah. Idaho and other States where the doctrine has secured a stronghold, and they have been flooding the city with their documents and tracts.

Lack of Sleep and His Inability to Take Nourishment Tend to Sap Strength of Venerable Prelate. Pneumonia Peril Still Present. His Holiness and Brother, Long Estranged, Forgive and Forget Differences in Affecting Scene in the Sickroom of Noted Man. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ROME. April 16.—Although the Vatican physicians continue to hold out encouragement and issue reassur ing bulletins, the belief is growing thin Rope Pius X is near the end of hi* life’s journey. Early this morning the following bulletin was issued at the Vatican: His Holiness rested easily for several hours last night. His temperature is 98.2. Expectora tion is easy and the condition of his heart 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 dining the night, and at times was in danger 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. Angelo Sarto, the Pope’s brother, who Is postmaster of a little town in the department of Venice, visited the sick room to-day, having arrived in Rome last night. Jt had been re ported he would not be summoned 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. Pope Embraces Brother. Despite his weakness, the Pops raised both of his arms and affectiorr'- ately placed them around his brother’s neck , "I hfitvo ever loved you, Angelo,** murmured the Pontiff. ”1 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. Peters Square, gazing at the windows in the Pontiff’s sickroom. / The Sunday American goes every where all over the South.
