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.

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.

Miss Annette Dudley Leads Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Life Be cause of Strange Malady. NEW YORK, April IT -A Wriin*-, recurring malady lias marked Miss Annette pudley, « beautiful and a - ented Tennessee girl, a former stu dent of tUr University of Tennessee, at Knoxville, now the special bene ficiary of Mrs. W K. Vanderbilt, Sr v, 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 hypnosis A ator.v is even told by friends of Miss Dudley that, at college a year ago, a friend, now at Knoxville, hypnotized her and that upon coming out of one of them* trances she was accused of theft Under Psychic Influence. Dr. Fraenkel, according to Miss A. Kvelwi Newman general secret nr\ of I he Studio Club, No. 35 East Sixty second Street, has been working on the theory that since that time som strange psychic force inav have caused Miss Dudley to resent disloyal acts of her friend, now In Knoxville, by those I heft a Miss Dudley now Is in Sanford Hall a private sanitarium at Flushing where she is being treated by Dr. Joel Fraenkel, of Madison Avenue and Eighty-second Street, Mrs Vander bilt’s personal physician. She was placed there two weeks ago after her 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 VIRGINIA GOVERNOR BETTER. RICHMOND.

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.

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.

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 ber: "William J. Northen, former 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. 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, are now in consultation in Washington. Both expect to attend the forth coming Southern educational confer ence in Richmond. The unterrified and ever-faithful Demo A a cy of Georgia still Is sending up an amalgamated, syndicated, and associated prayer to Alexander A.

If Stovall goes—or when Stovml goes, rather to Sw itzerland, the folks around and about will not be satis fied unless Lawrence agrees to take his place in the House.

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.

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.
