ES : FROM ATTACK
Danger Point, fo..t at Least, is
Passed Relatep,arkable
- DreanwAn Affecttj Scene -.
r In Sick Room
Rome, April 14. The Pope has' ral
lied in a wonderful manner from the
serious attack from which he suffer
ed, yesterday.. He appeared to be on
the point of death last night; 'the phy
sicians' report : tonight X stating that
the danger-point for. the present at
least, has been passed.
Dr. AmicP paid a visit to the sick
jpp Aaortly before , miidnight. Al
though, the Pope's, temperature had in
creased silghtly he found the general
condition satisfactory. He - adminis
tered a (heart stimulant and soon the
Pcpe went to sleep. , . - ,
K Throughout the day the temperature
was normal, the pulse remained "at
about' 85 and the respiration 26. This
indicated a considerable, amelioration
in the ibronchial symptoms -which -was
evidenced .by easier breathing and
freedom for long periods from cough.
In addition, the Pope was able to
take some nourishment and he showed
much interest in what was happening
about him. When Professor Marchia
f ava allowed the pontiff's nenhew to
enter the room there was an affecting.
scene. Tne frail and aged pontiff and
the young and robust priest embraced
tenderly, the latter being unable to
restrain his emotion at finding the
Pope so changed-physically.
Prof.- Marphiaf ava tonight repeated
his assurances that if prudence were
exercised the Pope would recover. He
declared that -his examination of the
chest showed that the inflammation
wtiich yesterday -was marked on the
left side, has been checked and was
actually diminishing while the bron
chial sounds were less noticeable.
. After his afternon sleep it was ob
served that the pontiff looked bright
and haippy. s Although he was advised
not tc talk, he insisted on explaining
how , he had just awakened from a
most wondertui;. dream, ne seemea,
he said, to have returned to his be
loved Venice; that he was in his pa
triarchal gondola on the grand canal.
Everything was blazing with sunlight
when 'suddenly above St. . Mark's the
sky opened and he saw a revision of
hisrdeacL Sister Rosa, who, descending
towards him, took his hand, saying :
'The -moment has. not come tor you
to join me. Your work is not yet
finished." v
The sisters of the Pope and, his
niece are happy in1 having the Pope's
nephew with them, as he is most
houef ul for the recovery of the pontiff
and-&wsps up: their eritsv --Cardinal
Konh. .Archbishop of Bres-
tau, is" expected .soon ' to arrive. He
has ?Tn men est .veneratiuu. .iui mo
PbpeandE, being deeply affected by thei
reports oj. ine pwu tiu. o eiiuu ""r
tion, -desires, even, u ne canuui sec
him, to be near him. . .
Rome is taking the Pope's illness
with outward tranquillity. There is a
widespread conviction that if the end
is , approaching it will not come for
some days at least. .
- Ordinary tourists are still allowed
to visit some of the galleries of the
Vatican. Carriages drive up frequent
ly, conveying cardinals, ambassadors
and Mgh prelates to inquire about the
Pope's conditicn. '
.The physicians have become very
clever in eluding would-be interview
ers They enter sometimes by one
door and sometimes by another, and
there is an infinite number of en
trances to choose from. If they should
happen to be caugnt oy any one,
are utterly non-committal.
- The persistent coia weaiuer aug
ments the difficulty of treating the
rr.o entiafntorilv. He. dislikes the
use of the heating apparatus but Pro
fessor Marchiaiava considers it muia
pensable to, keep the temperature of
the toedroom at uo aesieea.

MEMPHIS MAN MISSING:
Disappeared in London Bankruptcy
Petition Filed by His Company.
London, April 14. Mystery still sur
rounds the disappearance of Joseph
W. Martin, of Memphis, Tenn., who
has been missing since April 3rd.
While the discovery of his torn pocket
book first suggested to the police that
the American had been murdered and
his body thrown into the Thames,
they are now inclined to the theory
that he is still alive and for some rea
son is keeping his whereabouts secret.
The river police continue to drag
the bed of the Thames and to keep a
sharp lookout for the body.
All the hotels In London have been
visited for evidence, and now the po
lice are making a house to house
search among lodging and boarding
houses. Thef are working on the the
ory that Martin has left the country
and for purposes of his own is keeping
his movements secret.
Detective W. J. Burns has been re
tained by the Martin family to investi-
ate the mystery of the disappearance
of the man. The American detective
is working independently of the Scot
land r. Yard police onicials. usine: his
own European agents. The police are
making a searching investigation into
tne report that Martin was a heavy

statements :
"Senators , Overmanl and Simmons
had a conference witfr the President
this morning concerning his policy
with respect to recommendations by
Senators for appointments to local po
sitions in their States.' " Both Senators,
after leaving the President, refused
to quote him, but from what they did
say, it is inferred that It will be the
desire of the President to allow as far
as he can the recommendation of Sena
tors and Representatives with respect
to positions in their States and if for
any reason he finds the person recom
mended . unsatisfatory,-he; will, before
action, confer with tnem and if as sl
result of this conference his objections
are not removed, he will ask them to
make another recommendation. Both
Senators made it clear that the Presi-'
dent's attitude with respect to Sena
torial recommendations was entirely
satisfactory to them, and as they un
derstood it, in line wife the precedent
in such matters.
Major Stedman recommended the
following for appointment as postmas
ters: Robert S. Galloway, Winston
Salem;. Caleb D. Osborn, Oxford; J. H.
Bowen, West Durham ,Finley L. Wil

THE HOUSE CAUCUS
IS STANDING PAT
Effort to Put Cattle on Free
List, and Other Changes,
Are Defeated.
LEADER' UNDERWOOD IS ILL
Fight for Ways and .Means Committee
Made by Representative, Burton,
of New York Republican
Programme at Session.
Washington, April 14. Persistent
efforts to put cattle and sheep on the
free list, to cut the duty of swine
and to otherwise alter the Ways and
Means Committee tariff revision were
defeated in the Democratic caucus of
the House today. The Democratic
leadership fight for the bill as report
ed, was piloted by Representative
Francis Burton Harrison, of New
York, in the absence of Representative
Underwood, the majority leader who
is ill with a slight attack of acute in
digestion. On the Senate side of Congress the
tariff revisionists were inactive. The
agriculture schedule was before the
House caucus all afternoon and there
were some lively speeches. Many of
the new members ot the House ac
counted their views, but each time
there was a test, the committee was
overwhelmingly sustained.
Representative Lodgue, of Pennsyl
vania, a new member, precipitated the
biggest fight of the day with an am
endment to put cattle on the free list.
Cattle and sheep now are dutiable at
10 per cent, and swine at S1.50 a head.
Representatives Raker, of California;
Russell, of Missouri, and others, urg
ed against free cattle, declaring rt
would destroy the cattle raising In
dustry in their States. ' Representa
tives Kinkaid, of New Jersey, and Cur
ley, of Massachusetts, contended free
cattle could make a broader field of
supply for the independent packers as
against the so-called beef trust.
Representative Curley declared that
the United States might soon cease to
be an exporter of food. He said the
Argentine Republic, with a populatiorH
of only 9,000,W)0 as against 92,000,000
in the United States, exported more
than five times as much beef and meat
products as the United States and that
tariff protection in America could only
benefit the "trust."
Representative Garner, of Texas, a
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, said cattle last-year raised a
tariff revenue of $1,200,000 and that
the rate had been so adjusted m this
bill that it would raise $500,000 the
first year. If the cattle were trans
ferred to the free list, he added, the
rest of the tariff would have to be ad
justed to meet the loss of revenue.
Representative Kmkead, of New
Jersey, forced a roll call, the first since
the bill has been before the caucus
and the free cattle amendment was
rejected 73 to 122.
Representative Burke, of Wiscon
sin, successfully sought to reduce the
duty on swine from $1.50 to 75 cents
a head. A motion by Representative
Kinkead to put sheep on the free list
was voted down 62 to 92.
Ah attempt to raise the proposed
rates on barley made by the Demo
crats from1 Wisconsin and Minnesota,
was also unsuccessful.
The last fight of the day was on rice.
Representative Lazaro, of Louisiana,
offered an amendment to increase the
proposed duty of one cent a pound to
a cent and a half a pound. Represen
tative Thompson, of Oklahoma, moved
to place it. on the free list. Both am
endments were lost. The caucus had
got down to the wheat schedule at the
time of adjournment. It will be taken
up tomorrow morning.
Republican members of the Wlays
and Means Committee split today on
the question of submitting minority
schedules on wool and cotton. The
discussion foreshadowed a lively Jight
in the Republican caucus next Thurs
day night over the question of pre
senting Republican tariff measures at
this Congress. ' , '
' Some of the. Republican leaders,
however, are likely to oppose the plan
to fight the Wilson nominations. They
see little to be gained by it and are of
the opinion that they will have enough
to do in other ways of combating Dem
ocratic policies.
President on Tariff
President Wilson believes the tariff
bills meet the general approval of the
country, that no healthy business will
be interrupted and that while in most
cases the cost of living will hot be
immediately- reducedj, the -consumer
will feel at once the benefit of a reduc
tion in the sugar duty. , . ' '
These views were expressed today
by the President in an open talk with
newspaper men at the White House.
He explained that his main reason for
desiring a reduction on sugar was
that the consumer deserved it. :
Mr. Wilson said he did not see any
ruinous cuts in the bill. He referred
to the fact that members of the Ways
and Means Committee had . heard ev
ery person in interest and that their
judgments were based on those hear
ings. He also said he hoped to open
reciprocity negotiations with various
countries as soon as the tariff was
passed. - :

has been given, but rumors are that
rivalry andjealousy over a traveling
man with whdm Mrs. Lomax had been
in company was the beginning of trou
ble. Mr. Prince went ito the hospital
called for Mirs. Lomax, and was shown
to, her room. When he opened the
door, he pulled out a pistol and shot
her dead, and then fired a bullet
through his own head. He was carried
to the operating table, where his
brains were running out of his head,
and the doctors give little hope of
saving his life. Both parties are
well known in Goldsboro, "and the af
ifair has caused quite a bit of talk
here.
Soon after the two entered Mrs.
Lomax's-room the young lady was re
quested by Mr. Prince to step into the
hall a moment that he wanted to have
a word privately with Mrs. Lomax
and hardly' had she complied with the
request when two pistol shots rang
out in the room, and through the hall,
and, when the startled floor nurse
and others hurnied to the scene they
found Mrs. Lomax dead with a pistol
shot through the head and Mr. Prince
writhing in unconsciousness from a
like shot, self-inflicted immediately af
ter shooting Mrs.. Lomax. Her death
was instant.
There was an intimacy between him
and Mrs.. Lomax and many of the
more observant suspected that an in
fatuation existed - mutually between
them, but few, if any,' gave it a serious
turn in their minds. Rumors,, how
eyer, began to go the rounds ks ru
mors will, and 'Prince went out West
four months ago for his health, and
people forgot it. He returned two
weeks ago and Thursday night he and
Mrs Lomax.an the .latter's automobile,
left the city together' after midnight,
oh" a ride,' and Friday morning the
wrecked automobile was round onroaa
near .park, also evidence that there had
been drinfting aboard. Rumor again
became rife and yesterday Mrs. - Lo
max was entered as a patient in the
hospital for ' nursing. At this hour
Prince is still living, but unconscious,
and there is no hope for his recovery.
The murder and the attempt at sui
cide was a shock to the whole city as
both were prominent families.

mitttee of representatives of each can
didate for president-general to pass
upon the .seating or contested dele
gations. .

Thomas R. Marshall, Mrs. William J.
Bryan, -Mrs . A ; " S . , Burleson, Mrs. .
Franklin Lane, Mme Chinda, wife of
the. Japanese ambassador, and Mrs.
John Hayes Hammond.
Secretary Bryan, in his address told,
the Daughters that they must throw
their influence on the side of the peo
pie in their struggle for liberty. -
"Then and then only,'' he "declared,
"will you be true Daughters , of the
American. Revolution" r -' V .
Ambassador Jusseraiiasala' that the .
Daughters, were keepers of tradition ,
and as such had .an important, part in

President Wilson said he did not
know that lit was necessarr to wel
come the members of the Daughters
of the Revolution tolVashington which
in effect already was their own city.
He recommended their society for the
splendid work, it was doing in com
memorating the attainment of Ameri
can liberty. it,
"We regard organizations like this,
he saiid, "as part of the Nation's love
of memory. They remind us of the
things that have gone by and of the
standards to which we must conform
if we would be true and loyal Ameri
cans. . , V
"Wa would not undertake in a sin
gle improvised address to set .up the
canons of Americanism. Americanism
is now of so many varieties among tne
ladies that I am not so sure of my
standards on that side: of the house
and, therefore, I tread very gingerly
when I try to set up standards there.
But this I know' that so far as our
National elections fire concerned; so
far as those things are concerned
which we hold sacred in the past, so
far as those things go that we intend
to live up to and be worthy of, there
is only one canon of Americanism.
"And th real, constant difficulty
of American -politics is to bring it
back so that it will square witn tne
standard set up at the first when the
Revolution was fought out ano an in
dependent nation was established in
"We established an Independent Na
tion in order that men- might enjoy
a new kind of happiness and a new
Mnd of dignity, that kind which a man
when he resneets every .otner man ana
woman's in dividuaMtv as f he respects
bis own-where he is not willing to
shut the door or privuegf in tne law
of any one. .
"The dignity of your organization
i measured by the dignity of the tra
ditions which you are organized to
maintain. Therefore, the American
Revolution is worth remembering be
cause it is one of the few struggles;
in the history of the world which was
entirely devoted to the establishment
of human liberty." 'v;.' .
