At 1:10 a. m the following bulletin
was issued:
The Pope at this hour is un

by his cough. He is showing an
Inclination to talk that is very
difficult to combat and Iris tem
perature is consequently rising.
He is sitting up in bed. and this
is alleviating the cough lo some
extent.
It was reported that the Pope was
«*nly semi-conscious at this hour and
that he spoke with a trace of inco
herency In Latin, Venetian and
French. Mostly he uttered over and
over again the prayers of the church.
At 2:30 a. m. this bulletin was is

NEW YORK, April 17. Y rtrang*,
recurring malady lias marked Miss
Annette Dudley, a beautiful and Tal
ent# d Tenners#-# girl, a former stu
dent of tbe University of Tennessee
at Knoxville, now the special bene
ficiary of Mrs. \\ K. Vanderbilt. Sr v.
Interest and kindness, with a dua ;
personality as dlKlnct as that of Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It has made
her caae a scientific enigma to in
most noted brain specialists of this
country, whom Mrs. Vanderbilt hac
cailed upon to observe and prescribe*
treatment for her.
The only theory advanced so far by
the brain specialist.” to account for
this strange malady, is akin to post-
hypnoai*. A story i* even told by
friends of Miss Dudley that, at college
a year ago. a friend, now u; Knoxvill .
hypnotised her and that upon coining
out of one of these trances she was
accused of theft.
Under Psychic Influence.
Dr. Fraenkel, according to Miss A.
Evelyn Newman, general secretary of
the Htudio Club, No. 35 Fast Sixty-
second Street, has been working on
the theory that since that time some
strange psychic force may have
caused Miss Dudley to resent disloyal
acts of her friend, now In Knoxville,
by tho.*** thefts.
Miss Dudley now is in Sanford Hall,
u private sanitarium at Flushing,
where she is being treated by Dr. Joel
Fraenkel, of Madison Avenue and
Eighty-second Street, Mrs. Vander
bilt's pergonal physician. She was
plat ed there two weeks ago after her
arrest in onepf the department store*;
charged with the theft of a book of
poems.
Series of Petty Thefts.
Miss Dudley came to New York
less'than a year ago from Tennessee,
and became an associate member of
the Studio Club.
Shortly after Miss Dudley went to
the Studio Club, said Mis** Newman,
the general secretary, little articles,
none of them of much value, began to
disappear. 'I'hls had been going on
for three months, when one day Miss
Dudley went to Miss Newman and
confessed that .she had taken one of
the things that had been missed.
"I thought it wh« only a wi'Hknes*
and forgave and tried to help her."
hhu! Miss Newman, “but the thefts
continued, and one day I went to her
room while she was away and found
nil the articles that had been stolen In
her trunk Each was done up nicql.v
and she hud made no attempt to line
I hem I knew then that she was suf
fering from some mentul disease.
I eent for Dr. Max D Hchlnpp, the
to rve and bruin specialist, and on bis
advice took Annette* to Bellevue Hos

Dr Schlapp interested Mrs. Van
derbilt in the case and she went with
him to visit the girl at Bellevue. Cn
der the treatment »»f Dr. Schlapp and
Dr. Gregory the girl had passed from
her strange mood and Mrs. Vanderbilt
became intensely interested in her At
tile requeet of Mrs Vanderbilt, Dr.
Gregory ditfeharg #1 Miss Dudley from
the psychopathic ward and Mrs. Van
derbilt took her to the Hotel Vander
bilt. The girl spent one nig lit / t here
and arrangements then were made to
care for her in the rest cure for girls
which Mrs. Vanderbilt lias established
at No. 2 19 Fast One Hundred and .Six

Locked Up in Jail.
About two weeks ago. Dr. Fraenkel.
late at night, was informed that dur
ing the afternoon a young woman,
who apparently was unable to give
guy name to the police, had been ir-
rested in a department store charged
with slealing a small book of poems
and that when searched at tin* police
station a memorandum was found in
which appeared the names of Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Dr. Fraenkel.
Dr. Fraenkel hurried to the Wo.n
en’s Night Court, but court had ad
journed before lie arrived. Miss Dud
ley hail been locked up under (lie
name of “Jane Doe." The following
morning Di Fraenkel found the pris
oner was ills patient. Frederick YV.
Vanderbilt was called up and In* sent
1500 cash bail for the release of Miss
Dudley.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt is in
Paris having sailed March IS. Misti
I Dudley, after her release from court,
was taken back to Bellevue Hospital
and later, at the direction of Mis.
Vanderbilt, was sent to Sanford Hall,
in Flushing.
Girl Well Recommended.
"Miss Dudley came to us ivell rec
ommended." said Miss Newman, "and
all our girls have stood by her loyal
ly. I am sorty that the story has be-
come public. When the incident o -
| curred which caused me to send for
| Dr. Schlapp we talked it over in our
house committee md every one of the
girls was pledged to secrecy.
"No one seems o know the ex«i< t
I cause or nature of her strange mental
disease. Dr. Fiuenkel s theory 1* that
some strange hypnotic force may be
I i# sponsible for it. He lias questioned
her about her chum, and I wrote to
(the president #*f the Cniversity of
Tennessee asking him if it were true
that she had been accused of theft
! there His reply was very formal, ex-
pressing the hope that if she were ’ll
she would have the best of care and
would soon recover.
Dr. Fraet kel once thought this
hypnotic influence caused her in some
wa> to have knowledge of acts of
disiovaltv on the part of her chum
and that knowledge caused her to
commit thefts. That, however, was
only one theory that was advanced.
The doctors are puzzled They do lot
know what to make of her case.”

Sewer Contracts
Split Into 5 Groups
Engineer Brittain Tabulates Bids.
Failure to Fulfill Obligations
Causes Change.
Failure of city sewer contractors
during the last several year- to live
up to their obligations has resulted in
a change of policy regarding -ewer
contracts. Instead of letting the con
tract for all city sewer:; to one con
tracts. the work has been divided into
five groups.
The following are the low bidders
on the work, Sewer Engineer Carl
Brittain having tabulated the bids fur
a report to Council Monday:
Group 1. F. D. Harvey, Memphis.
$14,454.50; Group 2. Dysarti Construc
tion Company. $16,267; Group 3. Dy-
sard Construction Company. $14,668;
Group 4. V D. Harvey. $9,717.50;
Group 5. F. D. llarvey. $8,612.
More than 25 per cent more sewers
will be laid this year than heretofore
under the new plan, according to En
gineer Brittain. The groups include
from three to five miles <d* sewers
each. The work means that many of
the 7.000 surface closets will be
closed

Withdrawal of A. Pratt Adams
Leaves Barrow’in Line For
District Attorneyship.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Things seem to be getting In'o
something of a mess in Savannah
nowadays, % in the matter of the ool-
lectorship of the port there.
The rumored withdrawal <»f A.
Piatt Adams from the list of those
applying for the district attorney-
ship has brought back the suggestion
that possibly the name of David C.
Barrow might be put forward again
by Bacon for this position. This
is the position originally sought by
Barrow, but when Senator Bacon de
cided upon Adams, he gave Barrow*
his endorsement as collector of the
port.
Barrow was a strong Wilson man
from the beginning, as were "Bob"
Hitch and Fred Saussy, also candi
dates. It is also understood that
Barrow has a good friendly hold on
Secretary MeAdoo.
Tiie most active candidate for the
collectorship recently has been Robert
H. Hull, of Savannah. He visited
Washington last week in company
with Edward T. Brown, of Atlanta,
and had an audience with the Presi
dent. Colonel Brown is a relative of
Mrs. Wilson, and is said to be a great
favorite at the White House. He is
not a candidate for anything himself,
but he is not averse to lending a help
ing hand to his friends.
Colonel M. J. O’Leary still is in the
race, of course. He probably has the
support of Senator Hoke Smith, al
though it is understood that Senator
Bacon’s endorsement will control in
the Southern district. Colonel
O’Leary has a very strong friend m
Secretary Joseph 1*. Tumulty.
Among other candidates mentioned
for collector is Samuel L. Clay, o»
Savannah, who is a close personal
friend of the Wilsons and of Senator
Bacon. In case Barrow* prefers to
take his chances for United States
district attorney, it is thought that
Clay might secure the endorsement of
Senator Bacon for the collectorship.
one thing about the collectorship
should be stated. Under the new la\.
the collectors at Brunswick, Darien
and St. Marys have been abolished,
and the Savannah collector is in
charge of the whole district. This
will increase his duties very largely.
The salary of the Savannah office is
limited to three thousand dollars.
They always and invariably play-
politics strenuously, and after th- .r
own fashion, in Savannah, wherefore
the fact that the port collectorship
matter already is mixed up worse
than a Chinese puzzle need will sur
prise few. although its various rami
fications are interesting enough.
Judge Moses Wright, of the Rome
circuit, had Mayor Yancey of Roue
attached Lor contempt oT court re
cently.
Ilis honor, the mayor, should have
been present as a witness in the court
,,f his honor, the judge, but forgot it.
It generally is risky business to do
this sort of thing in Judge Wright’s
.•ourt. He promptly had *his honor,
the mayor, attached.
The mayor eloquently begged the
judge’s pardon, however, and the
judge tet him off. with a warning
•never to let it happen again."
His honor, the mayor, promised
faithfully that he never would:
crossed his heart and hoped to die,
if he did.
William J. Bryan's Commoner pays
tiie following tribute to the late Gov-
nor Northern in the current num
ber; "William J. Northen. form r
governor of Georgia, is dead, but his
memorv will long be treasured by
men. women and children who were
inspired by his ever-willing service
to society. Governor Xorthen was a
modest man, but the great work h--
did was known outside of his own
State and many men of all sections
ami of ail parties will join with nis
Georgia friends in keeping his mem
ory green.’’
The movement to make Floyd
County a judicial circuit once more
has been started.
The business in Floyd abundantly
justifies the suggestion, and it is
not unlikely that the incoming Leg
islature will look with entire favor
on the proposition.
Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, and
Gifford Pinchot, of New York, who
co-operate extensively in their work
among the agricultural interests of
the nation, ate now in consultation
in Washington.
# Both expect to attend the forth
coming Southern educational confer
ence in Richmond.
The unterrified and ever-faithful
Democracy of Georgia still is sending
up an amalgamated, syndicated, and
associated prayer to Alexander A.
Lawrence, of Chatham, that he heed
Old Dr. Y r ox Populi and come back
to the Georgia Legislature.
If Stovall goes—or when Stov-c.il
goes, rather—to Switzerland, the folks
around and about will not be satis
fied unless Lawrence agrees to tak?
his place in the House.
The Augusta Chronicle is» worry
ing over who •will pay the income
tax.
The Chronicle opines that if the
payer's income arises from ren;s,
rents will go tip: if it arises from the
grocery business, groceries will go
up: if he is a lawyer, lawyer's fees
will go up. And so forth, and so
on.
Looks to the Chronicle, indeed, as
if the old reliable ultimate consumer
is destined to another crack on the
noodle.

Reverses Policy of

Kohler, “the golden rule” Police Chief,
who was removed from office on
charges has decided on a policy ! n
handling the affairs of the police de
partment of this city directly oppo

Kohler, emphasized the necessity of
the police reforming the criminal
eases. Chief Rowe believes in pun
ishment' for transgressions, instead
of looking first/to reform.
"I am not a reformer." said Rowe
in a recent interview. "It is not the
business of the police to reform; ve
catch the criminals and let the peopl
who get them after we are through
do any reforming that is necessary."
Although the social evil problem is
handled under instructions from

is considered certain to advise even
more repressive regulation than the
present police methods. His belief
is said to be that the tenderloin is

BRUSSELS, April 17.—The nation-

stationary to-day. While workmen
joined the movement in some quar

points.
Emile Van Der Valde, Socialist
leader, claims tiiat 375.000 men are

of 25.000 from the estimate made by
Socialist .leaders yesterday.
The most remarkable demonstra
tion of the movement occurred to-day
at Ghent when 8,000 women paraded
