"Another blessed day Imi
Following hi? relapse late yester
day, the Pontiff again made a re
markable rally, hut he wan weaker
than before. At 7:30 last night the
following bulletin was issued:
The temperature of Hie Holi
ness is 98.5. Tiie catarrhal and
bronchial affection Is In the same
condition as earlier in the day.
lri 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
Y>\ his rough. He is showing an
inclination to talk that is very
difficult to combat and his tem
perature is consequently rising.
He is sitting up in bed, and this
is alleviating the cough to some
extent.
It was reported that the Pope was
only semi-conscious at this hour and
that he .•-poke with a trace of inco
herency in Katin, Venetian and
French. Mostly he uttered over and
over again the prayers of the church.
At 2:3" a m. this bulletin was is
sued:
Aft«*r 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.
Tien came this bulletin at 4 45
* in.
The Pope Is still sleeping
peacefully. The sleep is so llt-
tl p disturbed by coughing that
tie attendants hate to disturb
Mini n administer nourishment,
and * specially as tHe doctors
have raid that rest is more im
portant than food.
Begs for Last Sacrament.
Orders have !><•• n given to two reg
iments of Infantry to hold themselves
In readiness. They are confined to
barracks waiting to be called out for
police duty in the event of the Pope's
death.
It is doubtful whether the eucha-
risi could be administered to the
Pope in his present condition be
cause of the weakness of liis 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 realise the
office. •

Miss Annette Dudley Leads Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Life Be
cause of Strange Malady.
NKW YORK, April 17. A Kt range,
recurring malady has marked Miss
Annette Dudley, a beautiful and ‘a
ented Tennessee girl, a former stu
dent of the University of Tennessee,
at Knoxville, now the special bene
ficiary of Mrs. W. K Vanderbilt, Sr.'
interest and kindness, with a dual
personality as dlrtlnct that of Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It has made
her case a scientific enigma to the
most noted brain specialists of thi*
country, whom Mrs. Vanderbilt ha.
called upon to observe and prescribe
treatment for her.
The only theory advanced so far by
ti»e brain specialist)* to account for
this strange malady, Is akin to post-
hypnosis. A story Is even told by
friends of Miss Dudley that, at college
;< year ago, a ft lend, now at Knoxville,
hypnotized her and that upon coming
out of one of these trances she was
arc lined of theft.
Under Psychic Influence.
Dr. Fraenkel, according to Miss A.
Evelyn Newman, general secretary of
the Studio Flub, No. 35 Blast Sixty-
second Street, has been working on
the theory that since that time some
strange psychic force ma\ have
« a used Miss Dudley to resent disloyal
acts of her friend, now In Knoxville,
by thoee thefts.
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
the Studio Club.
Shortly nfter Miss Dudley went to
the Studio Club, said Mlsv Newman
the general secretary, little articles,
none of them of much value, began to
disappear. This had been going on
for three months, when one day Miss
Dudley went to Miss Newman and
confessed that she had taken one of
tHo things that had been missed.
“I thought It wav only a weakness
and forgave and tried to help her,''
said Miss Newman, "but the thefts
continued, and one day I went to her
room while she was away and found
all the article’s that had been stolen in
her trunk. Each was done up nicely
and she had made no attempt to use
them. 1 knew' then that she was suf
fering from some mental disease.
"I eent for Dr. Max D. Schlapp, the
nerve and brain specialist, and on his
advice took Annette to Bellevue Hos
pital.”
Mrs. Vanderbilt Aide.
Dr Schlapp Interested Mrs. 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 mood 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 ami 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 ir-
reated In a department store charged
with stealing a small book of poems
and that when searched at the police
station a memorandum was found in
which appeared the names of Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Dv. Fraenkel.
Dr. Fraenkel him led to the Worn
en’s Night Court, but court had ad
journed before he arrived. .Miss Dud
ley had been locked up uinh r the
name of Jane Doe.” The following
morning Dr. Fraenkel found the pris
oner was his patient. Frederick VV.
Vanderbilt was called up ami he sent
$500 cash bail for the release of Mi**s
Dudley.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt is in
Paris, having sailed March 18. Miss
Dudley, after her release from cour .
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 well rec
ommended." said Miss Newman, and
all our girls have stood by her loyal*
!\. I am sort v that the story has be
come public. When the Incident oc
curred which caused me to send for
Dr. Schlapp we talked it over In our
house committee and every one of the
girls was pledged to secrecy.
"No one swm.1 to know the ex u t
cause or nature of her strange mental
disease. Dr. Kraenkel's theory is that
some strange hypnotic force may be
responsible for it. He his questioned
her about her chum, and 1 wrote to
the president of the University of
Tennessee asking him if it were true
that Mae had been accused of theft
there. His reply was very formal, ex
pressing the hope tnat if she were ill
she would have the best of cate and
would soon recover.
“Dr. Fraet Ice! once thought this
hypnotic influence caused her in some
v.av to have knowledge of aits >f
diSioyaltj on the part of hti chum
and that knowledge caused her to
commit thefts. That, however, was
only one theory that was advanced.
The doctors are puzzled They do not
know what to make of her ea*e.’’

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 General 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 the 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 tie made entirely to
discredit the seminary as a source of
Presbyterian teachings and to com
bat the restoration of tiie connec
tions which formerly bound it to tiie
church. As the seminary is not with
out its staunch defenders, such a
radical proposal will not he adopted
without tiie hottest sort of a battle.
Tertius YunDyke, a son of Dr.
Henry YunDyke, was one of the four
candidates for admission to the min
istry whose orthodoxy came under
the suspicious scrutiny of the Pres
bytery. His statement that caused
the doubts as t.» the solidity of his
faith was this:
"There Is not sufficient evidence at
hand to nduce me to believe fully in
the Virgin birth of Uhrist."

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 Savannah
nowaday 1 *, in the matter of the col-
lectorthip of the port there.
The rumored withdrawal of 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. Ths
is tiie 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 McAdoo. *
The moat active candidate for the
collectorship recently has been Robert
H. Hull, of Savannah. He visRod
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
M.s. Wilson, and is said to be a gre*.t
favorite at the White House. He is
nvt a candidate for anything himself,
but he is not averse to lending a help-
ii.g 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
B icon’s endorsement will control in
th? 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, or
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 th.tt
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 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 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 its 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 pays
the following tribute to the late Gov

Inspired by his ever-willing servee

modest man. but the great work he
did was known outside of his own
State and many men of all sections

ory green.”
The movement to make Floyd
County a Judicial circuit once more

The business in Floyd abundantly
justifies the suggestion, and it is

Police to Punish Not Reform

who was removed from office on

Kohler, emphasized the necessity of
the police reforming the criminal

of looking first to reform.
"I am not a reformer,’’ said Rowe
in a recent interview. "It is not the

Fleeing From Parent.
Plans, if Successful, Would Halt
Building of Light Plant by
City of Atlanta.
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 be blocked in its plan to
build a municipal light and power
plant in connection with the new cre
matory. The city ha*s 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 the 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
J. 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, :o
build a $378,000 crematory and elec
tric power plant. The construction of
the crematory is well under way, hut
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 $een 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 tiie 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 i9 that
occupied by the houses with boarded
windows and doors 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.
Son’s Fingers Blown

R. M. Wallace Charges Mrs. A. C. H.
Matthewson With Responsibility
for Explosion Accident.
Through his father, Loy Wallace.
10-year-old son of R. M. Wallace,
who, in September, 1911, had three
fingers blown from his hand by m
explosion of a dynamite cap, filed suit
for $10,000 damages against Mr3. A. C.
H. Matthewson in Superior Court to
day. Mrs. Matthewson was charged
with being responsible for the acci
dent in- leaving the box of caps where
the boy could get them. The elder
Wallace also filed a similar suit for
$5,000.
The suits alleged that when Mr.-
Matthewson was having a street
graded for a subdivision on Green
wich Street, near Sells Avenue, a box
of dynamite caps, used for blasting,
was left in the highway where the
children who played in the neighbor
hood could get them.
Mr. Wallace alleged that Loy, then
8 years old, took a cap from the box
without knowing it was dangerous
and was striking it with a hammer
when it exploded and tore away three
fingers of his hand.
