this as a substitute to its resolution.
which provided for the appointment of
a Joint committee to make the required
Investigation. The Senate refused to
concur in the resolution of the House,
and sent a message to that body, so
stating. No further action was taken
in the matter, however, and it still
stands in that shape.

tire state penitentiary.

POPE Plus X TAINTED
WHILE SAYING MASS
Spell Due to Strain Endured During Coronation
Ceremonies
Ceremonies.

Rome, Aug. 11.--Just a week has
ELAPSED since the election of Plus y.
and he has been already overcome by
the unaccustomed strain of his Pom
tifical duties. This morning he tainted
while at mass. His collapse is con-
sidered to be due to heart weakness
aggravated by fatigue. DR.. Lapponf,
recommended the Pope to take com
plete rest. The doctor has ordered all
audiences postponed.
The Pope has been over exerting him
self to such an extent that his natural
ly strong constitution was unable to
bear the strain put upon it by the cor
onation ceremonies. Such has been the
effect upon his nerves that he has been
unable to sleep for whole nights while
numerous receptions yesterday made
matters worse.
Last night his holiness was very much
agitated, still he insisted upon admit
ting this morning to hear his mass all
Venetians who had journeyed to Rome
nurposely to attend the coronation.
They numbered about 900 when the
mass began in the Pauline chapel and
the air was vitiated. while the tenn
perature was 80 degrees.
Pope Plus was seen to grow paler
and paier finally throwing out his
hands as though seeking support. He
would have fallen had not Mgr. Bres-
san. his private chaplain. been quick

Ventians present was DR.. DaVenezai

nest building sometimes deserts them.

BRUNSWICK
LODGE ]. O. N. A. M.

Brunswick, Ca Aug. 1.-THE Junior
Order of the American Mechanics, an
order which was only recently organized
in Brunswick, held a meeting in their
hall over Glogauer's store night before
last, and had as their guest State
Vice Councillor A. G. Martin Of Grif-
fin, who came to pay the first official
visit to the order.
The meeting was an interesting and
enthusiastic one, and showed that since
it was organized a large number OF
new members had joined, and the or
der is now among the leading in the
city.

who for nine years has been the Pope's
attending physician at Venice. The
doctor gave the Pontiff immediate as
sistance, while messengers telephoned
DR.. Lapponi.
When able to speak again the Pope
asked for a few drops of water, which
were given him and water was
sprinkled on his face. His gown was
opened at the neck, as he seemed to
be checking. He refused absolutely,
however, to be carried to his apart
ment, saying he felt sufficiently strong
to walk. The way thither was cleared
and he proceeded clowly surrounded
by his anxious encourage, his head bent
almost on his shoulder and so pale that
the flesh was scarcely distinguishable
from his robes.
Although the Pope was much bet
ter this afternoon Dr. Lapponi, who
visited him again, thought it more
prudent for his holiness not to leave
his apartment and not to go into the
garden of the Vatican as he desired
The doctor further insisted on a sus-
pension of audiences.
DR.. Daveneza, speaking OF the Pope,
said. If they wish our Plus not TO
succumb, the Vatican authorities
must change their system. They must
not oblige him to follow the habits
of Pope Led The present Pontiff
needs especially plenty of fresh air.
He must not be shut up in a box In
a vitiated atmosphere"
The Pope retired earlier than usual
saying that he felt quite recovered
His intimates, however, say that he
is much changed since his election and
| seems to have grown years older His
sisters at Venice were much alarmed
over the news of his indisposition and
have decided to come to Rome to at
! tend him.

his preparation by taking an ill-advised
rest. Like Jeffries, he varied his work
with pleasure and has avoided the
nervous strain which marked his condi-

tests.
