NUMBER 308.

Rome, April 15.—Pope Pius X has
suffered another relapse, It is such
changes that have repeatedly trans-
formed the foeling of optimism re-
garding the pope's recovery Into one
cf grave anxiety in the knowledge
that each recurrence! withdraw!
scmething from the vital forces of
the holy father.
Notwithstanding the reassurances
of Professor Marchiafava watch la
being kept on the Vatican and there
is doubt that the "satisfactory gen-
eral condition'" of the pontiff as re-
ported by the doctors, is borne out by
the facts.
The temperature of the pope, which
throughout almost the whole day re- J
maincd at 97 degrees, in itself indi- j
lating depression and weakness, rose ;
in the early evening to 100 and later i
to 192. The bronchial symptoms j
which at the morning examination j
■were found to be diminished, held j
new and grave features this evening.
The affected zone on the left side |
of the chest was further congested
with a possible area of consolidation
—one of the signs of pneumonia—
The attending physicians ordered
tubes were more pronounced.
The attending physicians ordered
special bacteriological examination
of the sputum in order to ascertain
whether it contains infectious mat-
ter.
The darkest reports are being cir-
culated, one being that the pope is at
the point of death and that Father
Piferi, an Augusinian monk, has been
ordered to be in readiness to bring
to the patient the last communion,
this being the pre-orgrative of hl3
office.
This appears to be an exaggera-
tion of the situation, although un-
doubtedly the pope's condition is
much worse, owing to the fact that
he did not take sufficient rest today
and overtaxed himself as on previous
occasions. This resulted in general
prostration, rise of temperature and
inability to retain gven the lightest
nutriment.
The arival in Rome tonight of An-
gelo Sajta, the pope's brother, was
interpreted as a certain sign that all
hope had been abndoned. It was for-
! gotten that Angelo Sarto left his own
! village on his journey to the holy
! city long before the present set back
J of the patient occured—in fact when
| the condition of the pope had greatly
improved.
Angelo wag received with open arm
j by his sisters, who seem to think
I the more the pope is surrounded by
j members of his family the easier it
j will be to save him.
Profesteori Marchia's visit to
; sick room tonight laste.d 40 minutes.
I When he left the Vatican he was be-
' seiged for details as the aggravation
| of the pope's condition was already
| known, but he renewed his assur-
I ances that the situation was not
I grave.
Thi3 satement boing received with
incredulity, the physician remarked
that if there were any real danger he
would have remained at the vatician
or would go 'here during the night,
which he did not intend to do. Still
unconvinced the correspondents ar-
ranged to watch the house to ascer-
tain whether he retuned to the Va-
tican before morning.

Mr. Slattery stated Tuesday that
when he first discovered that his
pullet was doing double duty, he

town was in the midst of the great,
flood that recently occurred in that

away from the building when a large
telephone pole which was torn loss
■by the swift cur-ent, fell across the
beat. Mr,. Shiers was pinned under
it and for a time it was thought that
the boat would capsize.
Harry A'ams, one of the tele-
phone employes, showed great pre-
sence of mind, and lifted the P°le
from the boat before the party wa3
plunged into the icy waters.
Mr. Shiera was s^riouf^y injued
and for a time it was tfelived that his
back was broken. He was brought to
this side of the river and taken to the
home of his father on Third street.
Medical aid was summoned and after
a close examination it was found that
no bones we^e broken.
He was confined to his bed for sev-
eral days, but is now able to be
about his work.

URGED ORGANIZATION
OF GROWERS
Chc-kasha, Okla., April 15.—(Spec-
ial)- A conference was held here
Monday between the melon growers
of this section and the representa-
tives of the Rock Island and Frisco
Railroads, to discuss ways and m ans
for better markets and facilities in
the marketing of the 191B crop. Prof. :
E. R. Bennett Industrial Commission-
er for .the Rock Island urged that the
growers organize and cooperate with
other like organizations, so that fu-
ture crops could be disposed of W'ith
profit to the farmers. Mr. Bennett
also urged the shipping of melons
to the smaller cities of the north,
and not to the larger towns only,
thus tending to keep the prices u\>
and prevent the overloading of the
larger markets. It is estimated that
the melon crop of thiB section of the
country will be cut at least 50 per
cent over last years acreage, owing
to the unsatisfactory marketing con-
ditions last year.
