mark the second anniversary Of the
election of Plus X, and already prep
arations are being made for celebrat-
ing the occasion with due solemnity.
The popularity Of Plus K. has not
decreased in the least during the two
years he has sat on the throne. It is
felt here that the present pope, be-
cause of his personal afability and his
liberal views, will obtain more ad-
vantages for the church in the end
than many Of his predecessors. In
only two years Of reign he has com.
pletely reformed the central admin.
stration Of the church.

rot is not altogether happy one, espe-
cially if the country which he repre-,
sents and that to which he is accredited
are parts of the great world current OF
progress and commerce. For the most
part, the every day life of the diplomat
is a law one. He has little OF nothing
to do for eleven months Of the year, and
the few weeks of busy season, which he
has determined his position for the next
rest period. But whether working at his
profession, or enjoying himself socia lily,
he must be a very CircumSpeCt lndlvld-
ual, and must hold himself aloof from
everything that might, by any stretch
Of the imagination, lend itself to scan
dial or criticism. Whenever this simple
rule of conduct has been. violated,
troublc--for the diplomat-has always
resulted. The most recent example Of
the truth that this rule has no excep,,
tions is Herbert w. Bowen, dismissed
within month from his post as min
lister to Venezuela for having given to
the daily press scurrilous stories about
his predecessor, Mr.. LOOMS, now assist
ant secretary of state.
In looking back over the diplomatic
history of the United States, compare
lively few cases are found where it has
been necessary to censure or retire an
American diplomatic representative for
cause. There have been several separ-
ations from the service during the last

TRUCKS BLOCK FIREMEN.

The danger of permitting large numbers OF
trucks to remain stalled at night along the
waterfront in West-st. was shown on Tuesday
night when they obstructed the way OF the fire.

officers of the Fire Department said yesterday
that the obstructing trucks almost prevented
the work of engines at the fire. as it was neces-
sary to drag the heavy trucks out of the way
through the deep slush before lines of hose
could be taken within range of the flames A
most serious waterfront fire was narrowly
averted because the freboats managed 10 get in
a good position.
Police officials said the practice of keeping so
many trucks along the waterfront at night was

trucks at night on the pier side OF West-st.
That is under tho control Of the Dock Depart

TAKES UP DODGE CASE.
w. A.. S1ceetser Witness Before
Grand Jury.

The grand jury took up the investigation OF
the Morse Dodge matrimonial tangle yesterday,
and this action believed at the Criminal
Courts Building to indicate that District At
torney Jerome was ready to make use Of the
confession of Charles F. Dodge. At the same
time it became known that Dodge who. since his
forced return TO this city from Texas. has been
treated more as a witness for the Staet than
prisoner indicted for perjury, had been removed
from the Broadway Central Hotel.
Dodge was taken away from the hotel yester-
DAY afternoon. While no explanation OF MS ae-
parture could be obtained there, it was under
stood that his health was such that it was not
necessary to keep him in an expensive suite OF
rooms He had been taken, it was said to
quiet boarding house uptown. in care of the
county detectives who are watching him. his
early appearance as witness before the grand
jury is expected.
Among the witnesses heard by the grand jury
was William A. Svveetser. who was attorney for
Mrs Dodge when she obtained her original
divorce from Dodge years ago. Mr.. Sweetser
furnished important evidence for the indictment
of Dodge for perjury, but it is supposed that ne
had other evidence
other witnesses were James Fursman. son Of
ex-Judge Fursman and John T. Little and John
Schwarzkopf, formerly members of the law firm
of Fursman Little & Schwarzkopf. Ex-Judge
Fursman who was counsel for Mrs. Morse III
having her marriage to MIR. Morse set aside
after the Dodge divorce annulled, and who
interested himself in efforts to obtain another
divorce while Mr.. Morse's counsel was having
the first divorce reinstated and the Morse mar
riage rehabilitated. was said to be out OF the
city.
There was a report that a mass of papers re-
iating to the original Dodge divorce and the
later annulment proceedings were laid before
the grand jury. Apparently District Attorney

Created by Purely Physical and Chemical

Chicago Jan. 4.-That life is the result of purely
physical and chemical forces. irrespective OF any
divine or vital force, has been announced by Pro-
fessor Albert P. Mathews, Of the University of
Chicago, to his class in physiological chemistry.
While refusing TO dispute the theory of the divine
origin of life, Professor Mathews takes the stand
that the present creation Of life has been proved
the result OF purely physicO chemical reactions.
Certain chemical substances" he said, coming
together under certain conditions do and bound
to produce life, There is no getting away from
facts and the results of laboratory experiments in
