POPE PLUS IN
 DANGER FROM
 ESCAPED LIONESS
Animal Broke from Cage and Sought to Enter Apartment Where He Was
 at Prayer.
Special from United Press.)

Rome, March 1.-An authoritative story from the Vatican today says that on last Friday, while the Pope was in prayer at the Loudres Shrine, a IoneSs, which had escaped from its cage in the Vatican, approached the entrance to the Shrine and was only prevented from entering by the guards who fin ally captured the beast at the point of rifles.
 The honeSS was one of a pair pre- sented to the Vatican officials a year | ago by King Menelek of Abysinia. It escaped during the removal of it's cage to a different part of the Vatican grounds, the Pope having ordered the removal.
 When the Pope was told of the dan- ger that confronted him he laughted and said: Even the beasts living in the Vatican must have absorbed some of it's atmosphere and longed for free dom. But I don't believe they would have eaten me the first day of Lent"
 Pope Plus is taking an enforced rest today on the advice of Dr. Petacci The Pope has a troublesome cold which has made his chronic bronchial affec- ton much worse. Dr. Petacci says there is no occasion for apprehension but the fact that the Pope has been more or less indisposed for Enonths is causing considerable public uneasi- ness.

A gas pipe plugged with soap in the Yorkshire house at Wall and Water streets. caused the fire department to be called at 11:30 o'clock this morning. c. J. Conley, the proprietor in response to the complaint of one of the lodgers who smeIled gas in his room started out to locate the leak with lighted match. He located the soap plugged opening in the pipe and lighted the gas The heat melted the soap and the flame shot out setting fire to the wall paper. The proprietor was not taking any chances and he sent in an alarm from box 31. The fire department shut off the gas. Conley says he has never used gas on the side of the house where the leak was discovered and be- lieves the soap was used to plug UT the pipe when a social club that form erly used the floor moved out and it's meter was disconnected.

 One of the first principles of the new penology'' is to keep children away from the contaminating inf1u- ences of older prisoners. It is not at all unusual to find youngsters in coun- ty 5afls herded in with confirmed wrong doers. but it is unusual to find a state prison locking up children with grown men and women. And yet Miss Barnard finds that from August, 1905, to the present time sixty boys from Oklahoma under. seventeen y-ars of age have been incarcerated in the Lam sing jail.
 They are cleaning things up now in Kansas. 4 committee has drawn up recommendations for prison reform that will in all probability be adopted by the Legislature.

GAMBLERS ESCAPE
 BY SCOTCH VERDICT

Louis White and half a dozen other colOred men arrested in a. raid in a barn on John street, Saturday night went free this morning on a sort of Scotch verdict rendered by Judge Eos ter in the city court. Sergt. Blalisfield, with patrolmen Cody, O'Neill, Ivers, Gerrity. c. Wheeler and Gregory made the raid.
 The police had information that the place was in reality a gambling house. All of the prisoners denied that there had been any card playing in the place and Judge Foster found all of the accused not guilty, although he said there was strong suspicion that gambling had been going on there. White, who was charged with con- ducting the place was one of the in- formers on Lonnie Williams who was arrested and fined some weeks ago for his connection with a club of col ored walters on Bank street. Prose cutting Attorney Delaney gave White a bad half hour on the stand when ne raked up his connection with the Williams raid.
