whispered: "Another blessed day ha*
come.”
Following hia relapse late yester
day, the Pontiff again made a re
markable rally, but he wan weaker
than before. At 7:80 last night the
following bulletin was issued:
The temperature of Iil« 11 oil-
*
ness is 98.5. The eatnrrhal and
bronchial affection Is In the same
condition as earlier in the dav.
In view of the confusion that pre
vails. it was evident that this bulletin
had been highly censored before It
left the Vatican
Tormented by Cough.
At 1:10 a. m. the following bulletin
was issued:
The Pope at this hour is un
usually restless and Is tormented
hv his cough. He is showing an
inclination to talk that is \ cry
difficult to combat and bis tern
peraturo is consequently rising.
He is sitting up in bed. and this
Is alleviating the cough to some
extent.
It was reported that the Pope whs
only 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
sued:
After the last severe spell of
coughing the Pope had a period
of depression, ending in a pro
found sleep, from which he Is ap
parently deriving great benefit.
Then came this bulletin at 4 45
a. m.
The Pope is still sleeping
peacefully. The sleep is so 111
tie disturbed by coughing that
the attendants hate to disturb
him o administer nourishment,
and * - pecially as the doctors
have said that rest is more Im
portant than food.
Begs for Last Sacrament.
1*1 del' have been given to two reg
iments of infantry to bold themselves
in readiness. They arc confined to
barracks waiting to be called out for
! oli e duty In the event of the Pope's
death.
It is doubtful whether the eucha-
rl«t could be administered to tlie
Pope in his present condition be
cause of the weakness of Ids stom
ach, which will not retain any solid
food.
The last sacrament had not been
administered up to this morning, al
though the Pope begged for this
spiritual comfort, saying that he
feared he would sink Into uncon
sciousness and would not realize the
office.

Miss Annette Dudley Leads Dr.

NEW YORK, April IT -A Wriin*-,

at Knoxville, now the special bene

Interest and kindness, with a dual
personality as dltftlnct as that of Dr.
Jekyll and Mr Hyde It has made
her case a scientific enigma to th•
most noted brain specialists of thi*
country, whom Mrs Vanderbilt ba
called upon to observe and prescribe
treatment for her.
The only theoiv advanced so far b>
the brain specialists to account for
this strang'* malady, is akin to post

friends of Miss Dudley that, at college
a year ago, a friend, now at Knoxville,

Dr. Fraenkel, according to Miss A.

arrest in one of the department store®,
charged with the theft of a book of
poems.
Series of Petty Thefte.
Miss Dudley came to New York
less than a year ago from Tennessee,
and became an associate member of
'he Studio Club.
Shortly after Miss Dudley went to
the Studio Club, said Mine Newman,
the general secretary, little articles,
none of them of much value, began to
disappear. Tills 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 hud been missed.
"1 thought it wap only a weakness
and forgave and tried to help her.”
said Mias Newman, "but the thefts
continued, and one day l went to her
room while she was away and found
u11 the articles that had been stolen in
her trunk. Each was done up nicely
and she had made no uttempt to use
them I knew then that she was suf
fering from some mental disease.
"I pent for Dr. Max D. Schlapp, the
nerve and brain specialist, and on his
advice took Annette to Bellevue Hos
pital "
Mrs. Vanderbilt Aids.
Dr Schlapp interested Mre. Van
derbilt in the case and she went with
him to visit the girl at Bellevue. Un
der the treatment of Dr. Schlapp and
Dr. Gregory the girl had passed from
her strange inood and Mrs. Vanderbilt
became Intensely interested In her. At
the request of Mrs Vanderbilt. Dr.
Gregory discharged Miss Dudley from
the psychopathic ward and Mrs. Van
derbilt took her to the Hotel Vander
bilt The girl spent one night there
and .arrangements then were made to
care for her in the rest cure for girls
which Mrs. Vanderbilt has established
at No. 219 East One Hundred and Six
teenth Street.
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
any name to the police, had been ar
rested in a department store charged
with stealing a small book of poem*
and that when searched at the police
station a memorandum was found In
which appeared the names of Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Dr. Fraenkel.
Dr. Fraenkel hurried to the Wom
en’s Night Court, but court had ad
journed before he arrived. Miss Dud
ley had been locked up under the
name of "Jane Doe.” The following
morning Dr. Fraenkel found the pris
oner was, his patient. Frederick YV.
Vanderbilt was called up and he sent
$500 cash ball for the release of Miss
Dudley.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt is in
Paris, having sailed March 18. Miss
Dudley, after h**r release from court,
was taken back to Bellevue Hospital
and later, at the direction of Mrs.
Vanderbilt, was sent to Sanford Hall,
in Flushing.
Girl Well Recommended.
Miss Dudley came to us well rec
ommended.” said Miss Newman, "and
all our girls have stood by her loyal
ly. I am sorry that the story has be.
come public. When the incident oo
curred which caused me to send .or
l)r. Schlapp we talked It over in our
house committee and every one of the
girls was pledged to secrecy.
"No one seems to know* the ex«u t
cause or nature of her strange mental
disease. Dr. Fraenkel'* theory Is that
some strange hypnotic force may be
responsible for it. He has questioned
her about her chum, and 1 wrote to
the president of the University 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 ill
she would have the best of care and
would soon recover.
"Dr. Fraenkel once thought this
hypnotic influence caused her in some
way to have knowledge of acts of
dlsioyalty on the part of her chum
and that knowledge caused her to
commit thefts. That, however, whs
only one theory that was advanced.
The doctors are puzzled. They do oot
know wha» to make of her cage

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 years to live
up to their obligations has resulted in
a change oT policy regarding sewer
contracts. Instead of letting the con
tract for all city sewers to one con
tracts, the work has been divided into
five groups.
The following are the low bidders
on the work. Sewer Engineer Uarl
Brittain having tabulated the bids for
a report to Council Monday:
Group 1. F. D. Harvey. Memphis.
$14,454.50; Group 2. Dysard Construc

More than 26 per cent more sewers
will be laid this year than heretofore
under the new plan, according to En
gineer BriUain. The groups include
from three to five miles of sewers
each. The work means that many of
the 7.000 surface closets will be

HERE IS CERTAINTY
Clash in New York Over Seminary
Teachings Presages Spirited
Battle in General Assemblies.
Preliminary rumblings of the doc
trinal storm that is expected to find
its center in Atlanta when the Pres
byterian Gerteral Assemblies meet
here % next month were heard to-day
in reports from New York, which told
of a squally meeting of the New York
Presbytery over the alleged shaky
orthodoxy of four Union Theological
Seminary graduates.
It is thc advanced teachings of the
Union Seminary that have precipi
tated much of the bitter controversy
raging in Presbyterian circles, and
the attack on its graduates made in
New York will be carried into the
assembly meeting in this city.
Hot Battle Certain.
An effort Will bo made entirely to
discredit the seminary as a source of
Presbyterian teachings and to com
bat the restoration of the connec
tions which formerly bound It to the
church. As the seminary is not with
out its staunch defenders, such a
radical proposal will not be adopted
without the hottest sort of a battle.
Ter tius VanDyke. a son of Dr.
Henry VanDyke, was one of the foui
candidates for admission to the min
istry whose orthodoxy came under
the auspicious scrutiny of the Pres
bytery. His statement that caused
the doubts as to the solidity of his
faith was this:
“There is not sufficient evidence at
hand to induce me to believe fully in
fhc Virgin birth of Christ."

Withdrawal of A. Pratt Adams
Leaves Barrow in Line For
District Attorneyship.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Things seem to be getting Into
something of a mess In Bavannah
nowadays, In the matter of the col
lect orsh ip of the port there.
The rumored withdrawal of A.
Pratt Adams from the 1 is*t of thus*
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, hut when Senator Bacon de
cided upon Adams, he gave Barrow
his endorsement as collector of the
port.
Harrow was a strong Wilson man
from the beginning, as were "Bob"
{itch and Fred 8aussy, also candi
dates It Is also understood that
Barrow has a good friendly hold ">n
Secretary McAdoo.
The most active candidate for the
collectorship recently has been Robert
II. Hull, of Savannah. He visitrd
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 grea
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 in
Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty.
Among other candidates mentioned
for collector is Samuel L. Clay, o-
Savannah, who is a close personal
friend of the Wilsons and of Sena*.or
Bacon. In case Barrow prefers u
take hi* 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 law
the collectors at Brunswick, Darien
and St. Marys havd been abolished,
and the Savannah collector is ^ In
charge of the whole district. This
will increase hi* duties very largely.
The salary of the Savannah office js
limited to three thousand dollars.
They always and invariably play
politics strenuously, and after ttv-ir
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 it* various rami
fications are interesting enough.
Judge Moses Wright, of the Rome
circuit, had Mayor Yancey of Rome
attached for contempt of court re-
cently. . ,, .
His honor, the mayor, should have
been present as a witness in the court
of his honor, the judge, but forgot it.
It generally is risky business to do
this sort of thing in Judge Wright’s
court. He promptly had his honor,
the mayor, attached.
The mayor eloquently begged the
judge's pardon, however, and the
judge let 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 pay*
the following tribute to the late Gov
ernor Northern in the current num

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 Northen w as *a
modest man. but the great work h^
did was known outside of his own
State and many men of all sections
ami of all parties will join with nis
Georgia friends in keeping hi* mem
ory green.”
The movement to make Flovd
County a judicial circuit once more
has been started.
The business in P'loyd abundantly
justifies the suggestion, and it is
not unlikely that the incoming Leg
islature will look with entire favor
on the proposition.

Reverses Policy of
“Golden Rule" Chief
Police to Punish Not Reform
Criminals Is Edict of New
Cleveland Head.
CLEVELAND, April 17— Police
Chief W. S. Rowe, successor to Fred
Kohler, ‘The golden rule” Police Chief,
who was removed from office on
charges has decided on a policy 5 n
handling the affairs of the police de
partment of this city directly oppo
site to that of his predecessor.
Kohler, emphasized the necessity of
the police reforming the criminal
cases. Chief Rowe believes in pun
ishment for transgressions, instead
of looking first to reform.
“1 am not a reformer." said Rowe
in a recent interview. "It is not the
business of the police to reform; we
catch the criminal* and let the people
who get them after we are through
do any reforming that is necessary.”
Although the social evil problem is
handled under instructions from
the city administraton, Chef Rowe
is considered certain to advise even
more repressive regulation than the
present police methods. His belii £
is said to be that the tenderloin Is
not a necessary part of the city. He
has told his associates that he con
siders it a canker, not a serious dis
ease, that may or may not be eradi
cated. Against gambling. Rowe al
ready has shown his temper by an
order a while ago, when he was Act

ATLANTA AD AGENCY SUES
FOR COLUMBUS PUBLICITY
COLUMBUS, GA.. April 17.—Th
Johnson-Dallls Advertising Agency,
of Atlanta, has filed suit in the Su
perior Court of Muscogee County
against the Georgia-Alabama Fair
Association for $452.96, as part on a
contract the advertising firm had with
the fair association. The advertising
firm claims that it was to receiv
$952.96 for advertising the fair and
that only $500 has been paid on th<
contract.
Secret efforts to purchase the prop
erty on which are located the closed
houses of the former Tenderloin were
unearthed to-day.
If the efforts are successful the
city will he blocked in its plan to
build a municipal light and power
plant in connection with the new cre
matory. The city has not enough
land on which to add the electric
plant to the crematory, and the
"houses in our midst" property is all
that is available.
Agents of tlie would-be purchasers
have received assurance from the
owners that they will sell. Diligent
efforts to find out for whom they were
acting proved futile. The informa
tion that the owners are willing to
sell shows that the fight of Chief
.). L. Beavers, since he closed them
last October, has ended in complete
victory.
/ Immediate Action Expected.
Council has contracted with the
Destructor Company, of New York, io
build a $378,000 crematory and elec
tric power plant. The construction of
the crematory is well under way. but
the contract gives Council the alter
native of rejecting the $100,000 elec
tric plant feature after the crematory
is completed. No plans, therefore,
have been made for the construction
of the electric plant.
Immediate action to secure this
property is expected of Council.
The crematory site is located be
tween the tanks of the Atlanta Gas
Light Company and the railroad
tracks entering the Terminal Station.
Back of it are the city stables. There
is just room enough for the garbage
destructor on the vacant property, and
if the stables were torn away there
still would not be room enough for the
electric plant.
Only “Houses” Available.
The only available property is that
occupied by the houses with boarded
windows and door9 on the eastern
corners of Hulsey Street and Manhat
tan Avenue.
Another delay in the construction
of the crematory was threatened to
day by the announcement of Mayor
Woodward that he had vetoed the $400
appropriation passed by the last meet
ing of Council for grading on the cre
matory site. Unless this grading is
done, the work will soon be stopped.
Mayor Woodward repeated he would
decline to approve anything regard
ing the cerematory until the Supreme
Court had decided upon the legality of
the contract.

told how he did it.
The calls came so close together

that there was another couple waiting

Returning from No. 27 Gaskill

"Please hurry up,” said the bride.
"You know we are running away and

wedding.”
The ceremony was performed with
as much speed as possible at the pas
