ROME, April 18.— Pope Piue X held hie own throughout the greater part of to day, although late this afternoon reporte were circulated that he was fast losing strength. Inability of the Pontiff to re tain nourishment on his stomach and an acceleration of his cough were the principal contributing factors to this weakness. A drop sical condition is said to be devel oping in the left leg. On account of the condition of his stomach it may become nec essary to make food injections, as was done in the case of J. P. Mor gan. ROMP:. April 18.—The condition of Pope Plus X was* to-dnv subject to conflicting reports. According to the morning bulletin of the doctors. His Holiness showed improvement and gave indication that his strong con stitution would ultimately be able to overcome immediate danger. Information from another source, however, is that the Pontiff still is in a precarious condition, being ex tremely weak from lack of nourish ment and from the cough which ac companies attack** of bronchitis. In support of the latter report it Is significant that Cardinal Oreglla has been notified to keep In readiness day and night to respond to a call from ♦ he Vatican. \t 10:30 o'clock this morning (4:30 Atlanta time) the following bulletin was issued from Dr* Marchlafava and Amici: Improvement Is shown In the Pope's catarrhal affection. His general condition is satisfactory. The temperature Is 98. The moderation of the Pope’s tem perature gave cause for hope at the Vatican, hut Mil? Holiness was again warned by Dr. Marchlafava not o •iver-oxert himself Sees Humor in Warning*. "Tour Holiness must not confuse a tempowy rally for permanent Im provement,” explained Dr Marchia- fava. In spite of his emaciated and weak ened condition, the Pope sees humor in the constantly repeated warnings of the doctor* and smiled as he promised to obey to the best of his Judgment. It was but 48 hours ago that the belief was general that the Pope’* hours of life were numbered and the amazing rally that he has made, chiefly through his determination to get well, has aroused the wonder yf the world. The fear has been communicated to Cardinal Merry Del Val. papal secre tary of state, that the Pope may die suddenly. Anxiety on this point has beset the mind of the ailing Pontiff and led to numerous requests that the lest sacrament be administered. The life of the Pope was compared by his nephew, Mgr Parolin, to a flickering lamp. The flame is waver ing. now higher and now lower, and may he snuffed out at any minute. Nephew Fear* the Worst. “We pray for the best/' Mgr Parolin said, but the unmistakable signs of sorrow in his demeanor pro claimed the forebodings in his mind The Pope slept for interval* of two and three hours throughout the night. Once his heart became so weak that he was awakened so that oil of camphor might be injected. As soon as he awoke this morning and had partaken of #» cup of weak gruel, he immediately asked to he allowed to sit up. Roth Dr. Marchlafava and Amici protested emphatically against this. The following bulletin had been is- gii. d at 12:30 a. m : The Pope is resting more easily than last night, hut his breathing is superficial and his pulse is very weak. ' At 4:15 the following bulletin was fori hcomlng: The Pope is sleeping and seems easier, but his proatratlofi is ex cessive. Brandy was adniinis- | tered. but was followed by a fit of v. mi ting.

A few minutes later he fell into a sound sleep and his nervousness seemed relieved The Italian Government is making daily Inquiries on behalf of the King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Mar- gherita. When Dr. Marchlafava asked the Pope how he had spent the night, the latter replied: "I dreamed I was saying mass " Dr Marchiafava smiled as he said "In a month it will he a reality.” AUGUSTA.

Republicans Not to Offer a Tariff Bill. Professor Patten, University of Pennsylvania, Predicts Wilson’s Failure to Solve Problem. WASHINGTON, April 1B.—In- tending to strike a blow at the rubber truet, Representative Hardwick, of Georgia, offered a resolution to transfer raw rubber from the free list to the dutiable list, with a duty of 10 per cent. His resolution was lost by a vote of 53 to 33. Representative Borland, of Mis souri, then moved to put all the manufactures of rubber goods on the free list. His motion was lost almost by a unanimous vote. WASHINGTON. April 18. A bitter fight will be made on the Democratic tariff revision bill. The force* op posed to the so-called Underwood measure are now ready for the battle. Backed by requests from many in terests for hearings on certain sec tions of the Underwood bill, Republi can Senator." have made a demand upon members of the finance commit tee for hearings, and attack the “se cret legislation” now going on in the Democratic caucus of House mem bers Democratic Senators, replying to the attack, have made It clear that the finance committee doe* not plan to grant any public hearings. Sena tors Williams and Stone insisted full hearings had been given by the House committee before the bill was pre pared, while Republican Senator* de clared that these hearings had been of little valia* because the rates of the Underwood bill were not then known. Will Oppose Entire Bill. With many complaints and objec tions before them. Republican mem bers of the Senate are preparing for a general attack on all schedules of the bill. Senator Smoot has put two experts at work to analyze the Un derwood bill and previous measures to give the protectionist forces a basis for their fight. Other Republicans, who claim that important industries w ould be wiped out by the Underwood bill, will again insist that business men and laboring men *hould have an opportunity to be heard before the new bill is passed. The Democratic House caucus worked over the Underwood bill throughout yesterday, upholding the Democratic House leaders and Presi dent Wilson upon all contested points. The woolen schedule was under fire all day. Attempts to put ready-made clothing on the free list and to alter other rates in the bill were defeated. Late in the day, after the wool schedule had been approved without change tl'V caucus disposed in short order of the silk, pulp and paper and sundry schedules, voting down all proposed amendments. The free list was under consideration when the Democrats adjourned. Certain Mills Doomed. Representative Underwood address ed the members on the scope of th hill and its effect. He declared that reductions in wool rates undoubtedly would injure some factories, but that It would benefit the Industry as a whole.

The amendment was lost without a divi sion being demanded. The caucus voted down the resolu tion to put n tax of U) per cent on raw- silk. which is on the free list in the Underwood bill. Discussion of th* income tax was then taken up. PHILADELPHIA. April 18 “Th* Republican Party, cleansed, strength ened and made more responsive to the people, will return to national power. 'I’he Democratic Party, 1 be lieve ejai no; meet ihe expectations of even the minority that voted it into control of the National Government.” These are the predictions of Dr. Si mon Nelson Patten, professor of po litical economy in the University of Pennsylvania “Tariff will prove the undoing of Democracy," Dr. Patten writes. “It has before it two alternatives: One is a small reduction of tariff and virtually no change in the costs of articles that are deemed necessaries in the American standard of living. The other alterfiative is a radical re duction in tariffs and the consequent stoppage of many important Ameri can industries. “Viewing the situation w'holly as an economist, It seems to me that, whichever horn of the dilemma is se lected. President Wilson and his col leagues are certain to disappoint a large body of the people who have entrusted them with power. Hun dreds of thousand* expect to see cost of living measurably and speedily re Free Sugar Would Make U. S. Target of Producers. WASHINGTON, April 18.—That ‘ha free sugar provision in the Under wood hill, if enacted into law, will make th** United States a target for all the sugar-producing nations In the world is shown by a report issued by the Department of Commerce to-day, in which It is stated that this country annually consumes one-fifth of *11 the sugar produced. The United States uses an average of 3,285.771 long tons of sugar a year. The United Kingdom comes next wi‘h a consumption of 1.707,956.

Dr Patten sees the restoration of Republicans on a platform of living wages, equitably distributed as part of their protective party. “Thousands of girls are now pressed to the edge of moral endurance. The least push will put them into the street. Who will take the responsi bility for this?” Professor Patten asks. “There is one matter upon which I may speak with some degree of em phasis. That is the inevitable read justment of wage conditions by cer tain protected manufacturer*. The day has gone by when $5 a week is the basis for a working woman’s wage. When the Republicans return to power—as 1 believe they will in the next national election—they must come as a party pledged to definite reforms, and as a party whose ener gies will be devoted to keeping there pledges. “Of these promises, the most im portant will be a readjustment of tariff benefits, so that the worker shall receive his fair share of the re newed prosperity. “The manufacturer who stuffs Into hi* pocket the largest share of pro tection benefits is the one who can best afford to meet the changes pro posed in the tariff laws. “There is one fundamental law 7 true, both in biology and economics. Struggle helps the strong and crushes the weak. With cut throat competi tion the rich grow richer and the poor become poorer. When the tariff is re duced, the low waged workman lose, not their employer. And of these low waged ones the working gir] will he the worst sufferer. Dollars and Virtue. “In addition to predicting what the effect of free sugar will be, the Pres ident should state his doctrine of the relation of dollars to virtue. “The Government by granting pro tection to certain Industries acquires a right to supervise the operation of these industries. The protective tar iff of the future will, I believe, be based upon some form of Governmen tal supervision which will assure to the public honestly and well made goods, and to the workers a fair dlvi sion of tariff benefits. “The Republican Party of the future will make this proposed law and wi! abide by it. “There is no radical difference be tween the Republican and Progres sive Parties. Both agree upon the protective tariff theory. Progressive ideas will become part of the Repub lican platform of the future, and Pro gressive leaders will fight shoulder to shoulder with honest intentioned Re publicans who are now opposing the Progressive ideal.

Hence, 48 husky aspirants for the brass buttons and the blue uniform to-day are anxious to know w'hether they have successfully demonstrated that they have a few other things in their heads besides the mere knowledge of how to gracefully twirl a club over one thumb. They will know when the Civil Service Mental Examiners pass on the papers of the various applicants in the civil service mental examination held yesterday afternoon. In addition to the 48 “raw recruits” 23 of the “finest” took the examina tion for promotion. Three of these sought to demonstrate that they are mentally capable of occupying the chief’s chair, W'hile the remaining 20 sought to qualify as fit subjects for captain and sergeant. W. T. Morris, Chief Beavers’ sec- cretary and an old school teacher, who prepared the examination and had general supervision over it, de clared the class “one of the finest he had seen.” In the mental examination, the ap plicants—both for patrolman and for promotion—are called on to prove their proficiency in spelling, arith metic, letter writing, penmanship and practical questions. They are given two subjects from w'hich to choose to w 7 rite their let ters, such as “asking pay for lost time on account of injuries received while on duty,” “asking a leave of absence,” “asking to be allowed a re ward,” or “asking for the arrest of a fugitive”—the subjects are always based on features of police service. The practical questions test the applicants’ knowledge of the city and of the duties of policemen and su perior officers. physical exam ination was conducted several weeks ago. The report of the examination results will be submitted to the Po lice Commission at its next meet ing. Governor Brown replied to-day to Judge Emory Speer, who. in a speech this week before the Georgia Federa tion of Labor in Savannah, bitterly criticised the Governor’s action in calling out the troops at the time of the Augusta street car strike. “The laws are on the books." said the Governor, "and I am going to obey them so long us they remain there. If the people of Georgia- do not wish me to call out the militia in times of threatened or actual out break. they had better remove those laws from among the statutes." Governor Brown answered the charge that the measure had been “sneaked" onto the statute books by remarking that if six readings, three before the Senate and three before the House, and a consideration of thirteen months were not sufficient to get a proposed measure before the attention of people, then the legis lative procedure also should be changed. Law Passed in 1912. The bill was read before the Sen ate three times in the session of 1911, where it was passed unanimously by a vote of 37 to 0. It was read in the House twice in 1911, and the third time in 1912. Then it was put upon its passage in the House by a vote of 116 yeas and 9 nays. Governor Brown declined to reply to the. attacks made upon him in the resolutions passed by the Federation of Labor, saying that adequate re ply was contained in the address made by him last October on "The Supremacy of the Law." Governor a Tool of People. “I am a tool,” he said. “I am the tool of the people of Georgia. I wear a collar, but it is the collar of the law's of the State.” He quoted the measure under which he acted in calling out the troops, w 7 hich reads, in part, as follows: “Whenever any judge of the su perior court, cr a city court, county court, county 1 sheriff, mayor of any Incorporated city, town, or village, in this State. w 7 hose authority shall rank in the order named shall have reason able cause to apprehend the outbreak of any riot, rout, tumult, insurrec tion, mob, unlawful assembly, or combination to oppose the enforce ment of the law 7 by intimidation, force, or violence, within the juris diction of which such officer is by law a conservator of the peace, which can not be speedily suppressed or effectually prevented by the ordinary posse comitatus and peace officers, it shall forthwith become the duty of the judge, sheriff, or mayor to report the facts and circumstances to the Governor and to request him to order put such portion of the militia of the State as may be necessary to preserve the peace, and it thereupon shall be the duty of the Governor, if he deems such apprehension well founded, to order out, or direct to be held in readiness, such portion of the militia of the State as he may deem ad visable for the enforcement of the law; and when the Governor orders out troops, as herein provided, he shall thereupon by proclamation de clare a state of insurrection in the locality in which the disorder is lo cated.” wood tariff measure, was discussed by Ihe House Democratic caucus to-day.
