LONDON. April 9. A Central news dis
patch frum Home says the pope suffered
fioni a fnlntlrig fit In stint: two hourH this
afternoon, and It was rumored In the
lobbies of the Italian Chamber of
Deputies that the pontiff was In extremis.
I'rof. Marchlafuva, however, continued to
assert that the pontiff Is no worse and
that there arc no grounds for anxiety. .
ItO.MK, April I.. The condition of the
pope was much Improved today. Prof.
Mnrchlafava, the Vatican's physician, vis
ited tho pontiff for over an hour this
niurnlng ami found his fever greatly re
dined. Ills temperature was only
HlUhtly above normal, but ho still suf
fered grtut depression and weakness.
Miuchlafava's examination of the pope
of a most minute character. He de
clared afterwards that there was a no
ticeable improvement In tho pontiff's gen
rrn! condition, but stated that the relapre
lip suffered yesterday did not appear to
lir- -n the decline.
Three thousand pllprlms gathered In
i he -ourhe of the morning on the Piazza
I)i fc'au Pletro in frtnt of tho Vatican,
under the open window of the pope'o
apartment, nnd prayed for his recovery.
Thunder nml Unit Storm.
A thunderstorm, accompanied by a
heavy fall of hall, disturbed Mm pope
this morning. His nervous system has
heroine very sensitive since the beginning
of his illness.
ProT. Marchlafuva assured tho Asso
ciated Press this morning that his holi
ness was suffering only from an attack
of Influenza, which Is causing a con
bldcrablc amount of anxiety, because of
the condition of the patient and his
giat age.
The reports as to the pope being acutely
nffected wth nephritis, or Inflammation
of the kidneys, are, said the professor, an
Kolntly . unfounded. .. . . ... . .
"Whnt'tll5pTldrinfr needs above all Is
rest." continued tho physician, "and the
twenty-four hours ho has spent In bed
completely Isolated from affairs, has al
ready produced a salutary effect. All the
symptoms of a dangerous character,
which have been mentioned In unautho
rized reports, arn either Imaginary or
grossly exaggerated. The present condi
tion of tho pontiff excludes any danger.
, unless complications should Intervene."
Pope Plus dozed for a short time this
afternoon. When he was awakened he
appeared to feel too weak to take much
notice of those around htm. He smiled,
however, when ho was visited by his
sisters and his niece, who sat quietly In
the room for some time without disturb
ing him.
The temperature of the pope ross
slightly at 3 o'clock this afternoon, reach,
ing 0 degrees. ,
While official reports state that the
amelioration in the condition of the pope
continues, It Is reported In other quarters
that the pontiff Is suffering from diffi
culty of respiration, thirst and prostra
tion. 1
All illBrlmnKe Suspended.
Everything Is being prepared at the
Vatican to give tho pope a long period
oi rest. All pilgrimages have been bus
pended during this month and the Ameri
can pilgrimage, which left New York on
April 5 under the direction of Rev. Jo
seph Schrlembs. bishop of Toledo, will
not be received by his holiness.
Several cardinals, including Kampolla,
Vlvcb y Tuto, De- Ial, Martlnelll, Val
cpnlo, .lllsletl und Aglidardl called per.
tonally at the Vatican this morning to
Inquire about the pope's health. They
v. ere not allowed to see the patient.
The callers were Informed by Cardinal
Merry Del Val that an Improvement. nad
taken place In the pope's condition and
that theie was no real cause for alarm.
The official Vatican newspaper, the
obsrrvatorc Itomano, sayB In Its evening
edition today:
We are glad tp be able to give the
assurance that after his relapse on Mon- ;
day eve ning the condition of the pope Is j
constantly and notably amelorlatlng," i

Many Twenty-Dollar
Gold Certificates Are
Found in the Streets
I.KAVKNWOHTH, Kan., April 9.-Thre
postnfflec Inspectors have begun an In
vertlgatlon of tho finding here of hun
dreds of dollfrs in gold certificates, be
lieved to be a portion of the V),0QO stolen
by Charles Savage from a mall truck In
the Union stntlon hn Kansas City five
years ago. Developments show that per
sons have been finding the certificates,
mostly of the $i0 denomination, for over a
month, and have been keeping the matter
scc--t. It Is estimated that at least J1.000
hns been picked up In gutters, vacant
loin and back yards.
All the money known to have been
found was discovered within a radius; of
eight blocks of the home of a relative
of Charles Savage, at whoso home he
stopped before Ids arrest. One theory of
th investigators Is that the money was
concealed In a tice and dislodged by re
cent high winds.
At least 2,000 persons engaged in the
Eearch for money yesterday. Probably tile
exact amount that haa been found never
will be known. It Is known that three
Polish boys several days ago found five
gold cettlflcates in a field. They did
not realize their value and torn four of
the bills to pieces. The other they sold
to a negro for K cents.
A negro woman who was cutting greens
In a field, Kcrcamod when she stepped
on a snake. A negro man who ran to her
assistance killed the snako and picked
up four twenty-dollar bills from a bunch

woman.

NACO, Ariz., April 9. Machine gun fire
between the federal garrison of Naco,
Sonora, and the constitutionalist forces
opened at 8 o'clock this morning. The
attacking party, however, remained at
a distance. OJeda's federal troops had
expected a vigorous assault on the town
at daybreak, but tho rebels apparently
were not eager to renew the fighting
after the counter of yesterday.
Arrangements were made today to bring
more wounded to Nnco, Ariz. It Is re
ported that a large number of soldiers
of both armies are lylnir helpless In the
field, suffering Intensely through lack
of medical care.
The Yaqul Indians, fighting with the
Mexican constitutionalists against the
Huerto government, stoically refused to
attack Naco during last night. Their
chiefs explained that If killed at night

would float through Indefinite darkness
Tho Yaquls did somo of the hardest

leaders, had advanced their forces close
to the town. The retreat of these troops
Is looked upon as an Important backset
for the rebels.

LINCOLN, April 9.-Spcclal.)-Thls was

to pass a bill not In Interest, to the tax

They nro forcing weak members of tho

by threats of having their own bills
hung up Indefinitely In the senate sifting
clmmlttce or In tho committee on munici
pal affairs. Tho measure will probably
come up for consideration today
Notice was served on Simon this morn

Idea he Is here to serve the Water Board
Instead of thn people who elected htm,
that his loan shark bill will never nea
tho light of day unless Simon vots
against 'his soncst convictions and sup
ports the water bill. Simon sent twk.
word that he had secured favorable ac
tion on his bill In the bonne and If Sen
ator Satindern wanted to take the re
sponsibility of killing the measure, thus
becoming the sponsor and defender of
tho "body snatchers" of Omaha, it is
up to llllll.
I'll ii lull I iiur Anderson.
The committee on municipal affairs of
tha senate, of which Saunders Is chair
man, Is also punishing Anderson of
Douglas for daring to stand for tho peo
ple of Omuha against a few self-ap-polntcd
guardians of tho city. As chair
man of the committee, Senator Saunders
Is sitting tight on houso roll 3, which
gives the people of Omahii an oppor
tunity to vote on whether they shall re

tho gas company. He is also sitting
tight on. house roll 407, which Rives the.
ptiopla of Omaha ah opiwrtunU'td "vote

continue a dual city government or put

is very anxious to get these measures
passed, but ho refuses -to stultify him
self by giving up his honest views, which
lie believes represent tho lews of his
constituents, on tho water bill to his
own bills raised. Like Simon, he is con
tent to let Senator Saunders do as ho
pleases on theso bills and tuko the con
sequences. .No Stone Unturned.
Incidentally ' tho Water bourd could
never again truthfully be called " tho
do-nothing Water board," Insofar as It
