Tormented by Cough.
At 1.10 a. m. tin following bulletin
was Issued:
The Pope at this hour is un
usually restless and is tormented
by his cough. fie is showing an
inclination to talk that Is very
difficult to combat and Ids 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
cnly 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 wax is

After the last «» vere 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.

The Pope is still sleeping
peacefully. The sleep is mo lit

The last sacrament had not been
administered up to this morning, al

her case a scientific enigma to the

The only theory advanced so far by
the brain specialisth to account for
this strange malady, l« akin to po*t-

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

out of one of these trances she was
accused of theft.

Miss Dudley came to New York
less than a sear ago from Tennessee,
and became an associate member of

Shortly after Miss Dudley went to
the Studio Club, said Miav 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

I thought it wav only a weakness
and forgave and tried to help her."
said Miss Newman, "but the thefts
continued, and one day 1 went to her

all the articles that had been stolen in
her trunk. Each was done up nicely
and she ha cl made no attempt to use

About two weeks ago, Dr. Fraenkel,
late at night, was informed that (lur

who apparently was unable to give
any name to the police, had been ar
rested in a department store charged
with stealing a small hook 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 Worn

"Miss Dudley came to us well re 1

all our girls have stood by her loyal

come public. WJien the incident or

Dr. Schlapp we talked it over In our
house committee and every one of the*

"No one seems to know the ex u t

her about her chum, and 1 wrote to
the president of the Fniverslty 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

"Dr. Fraenkel once thought this
hypnotic influence caused h**r in some

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
change of 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 Carl
Brittain having tabulated the bids for

Group 5, F. D. Harvey, $8,612.
More than 25 per cent more sowers
will be laid this year than heretofore
under the new plan, according to En
gineer Brittain. The groups include
from three to five miles of sewers
each. The work means that many of
the 7,000 surface closets will he

FEDERAL JOBS
Withdrawal of A. Pratt Adams
Leaves Barrow in Line For
District Attorneyship.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Tilings seem to be getting ln’o
something of a mess in Savannah
nowadays, in the matter of the ool-
iectorghip of the port there.
The rumored withdrawal of A.
Pratt 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. Til's
is the position originally sought by
Barrow, but when Senator Bacon de
cided upon Adams, he gave Barrow
his endorsement as collector of trie
port.
Barrow was a strong Wilson man
from the beginning, as were "Bob
Hitch ami Fred Saussy, also candi
dates It is also understood that
Barrow has a good friendly hold on
Secretary McAdoo.
The most active candidate for the
colleetorship 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 tl\e Presi
dent. Colonel Brown is a relative of
Mrs. Wilson, and is said to be a great
favorite at the White House. He is
nut 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, nl-
though it is understood that Senator
Bacon’s endorsement will control in
ill 2 Southern district. Colonel
O’Leary has a very strong friend m
Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty.
Among other candidates mentions*
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 to
take his chances for United States
district attorney, it is thought that
I lay might secure the endorsement of
Senator Bacon for the colleetorship.
One thing about the colleetorship
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 ottice >s
limited to three thousand dollars.
They always and invariably play
politics strenuously, and after tin r
own fashion, in Savannah, wherefore
the fact that the port colleetorship
matter already is mixed up worse
than a Chinese puxale need will sur
prise few. although its various rami
fications are interesting enough.

circuit, had Mayor Yancey of Rome
attached for contempt of court re-

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 lie never would;
crossed his hear! and hoped to die,
if he did.

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. Rtowe, successor to Fred
Kohler, "the golden rule” Police Chief,
who was removed from office on
charges has decided on a policy in
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; xe
catch the criminals 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 administrator Chef Rowe
is considered certain to advise even
more repressive regulation than the
present police methods. His belief
is said to be that the tenderloin Is
not a necessary part of the city. Hu

ATLANTA AD AGENCY SUES
FOR COLUMBUS PUBLICITY
COLUMBUS, GA.. April 17—The
Johnson-Dallis 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 receive
$952.96 for advertising the fair and
that only $500 has been paid on the
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 be 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 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. 10
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
have been made for the
of the electric plant.
Immediate action to secure
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” Avaifable.
The only available property is 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 fie would
decline -to approve anything regard
ing the cerematory until the Supreme
Court had decided upon the legality of
the contract.

Through his father, Loy Wallace.
10-yeaT-old son of R. M. Wallace,
who, in September, 1911. had three
fingers blown frbm his hand by in
explosion of a dynamite cap. filed suit
for $10,000 damages against Mrs. 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 Mrr
Matthewson was having a street
graded for a subdivision on Green
wich Street, near Sells Avenue, a oox
of dynamite caps, used for blasting,
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.
