GRAVE FEARS FELT
FOR POPE Plus X
DenialS From Vati-
can, Rome Believes Pom
tiff Is Sick.

ROME, Oct 4.-Grave fears are caused
by the physical condition OF Pope Plus
\, despite authoritative statements that
the ailment which keeps the Pontif In
close seclusion is not Of a serious
nature.
Pope Plus today is receiving only his
secretary and his closest acquaintances
among the vatican officials because his
physicians insist he must have absolute
rest
The fact that the Pope's present Illness
IS not serious, which IS being used bv
the vatican authorities TO dispel all
doubt as TO his condition, is misleading
His age. and the general condition OF
his health make even the most trifiing
indispostiOn serious In his case
The frequent attacks OF Illness to
which the Pope is subject are likely at
any time TO develop aIarmingly without
the least warning The Pontifrs pres-
ent breakdown IS due to gour and a
general rundown condition OF he svs-
tenn.

New York Representatives Opposi-
ton Adds Fresh Support
To Cannon Foes.
BY ]. c. wELLIvER.

The session Of Congress beginning IN
December is very likely 20 be marked
by long and bitter fight in the lower
house. as a result Of charges which
Representative Herbert Parsons Of New
York has made in a public statement.
about an alliance between Cannon Re-
publlcans and Tammany Democrats. in
the Speakership and rules fight last
March.
Mr. Parsons charges positively that
there was such a deal. and his charges
undoubtedly win be the object Of an in
vestigation Of some sort. The charges
are so serious, and come from so high
political authority. that an early
move for their investigation by a spe-
cisi committee, is fully expected.
II the initiative IS not taken bv the
Cannon organization It will, according
to all indications, be taken by the com
bined insurgents and regular Demo-
Gratis. Present expectation is that the
Cannon people will bring in a resolution
and nam. committee Of their own
sympathizers. whose duty shall be to
eXonerate the organization and disprove
the Parsons charges. provided a preIimi-
nary poll OF the House shows that the
votes can be commanded to pass the
resolution and name the committee
with the personnel desired by the Can
non people.

arrested yesterday afternoon at the
Pickwick apartments, 1873 South Grand
avenue, charged with grand larceny
and wife abandonment as result OF
a Geographic dispatch from his VIE III
Milwaukee to the Los Angeles police;
In company with Greenlaw at the
time was Miss Alma Scott, who is said
TO be the affinity of GreenlaW, and on
whose account he is said to have de-
serted his wife in Milwaukee three
weeks ago.
Miss Scott's endeavors to see Green
law at the police station became so
persistent that she was also arrested
last night and booked at police mead
quarters charged with suspicion.
Behind the arrest of GreenlaW is
romantic story Although but 80 years
old, he was formerly a well-knoWn
broker, with offices in Milwaukee, Tor
eight years.
Twelve years ago he married Wom-
an twelve years older than himself and
has a stepson % years old.
He stated that his marital relations
for the last two years were not pro-
ductive of domestic felicity and that
he decided to leave his wife. He said
that his wife agreed on condition that
he would sign over to her property
valued at $5OO0 which he did.
He then went to New York, accom-
panied, it is said by Miss Scott, and
obtained employment with the Amer
lean Timber company. The position
was not lucrative enough to suit his
needs and he arrived in Los Angeles

EMMA ROGERS

married to c. W. Powers, an artist and
a photographer, in Salt Lake City a
number of years ago. They quarreled
five or six years ago and they sepa-
rated. Later she obtained a divorce
from him, receiving $500 in settlement.
Follows Former Husband
In the meantime Powers came to Los
Angeles and, it is asserted, married
again. His former wife followed him
here. Her love for him, according to
DIR. Rogers, never died, and she wanted
to effect a reconciliation, but know
ing that he was married and a re-
union was impossible, began to brood
about the matter until finally her
mind became affected.
According to DIR. Rogers, Powers, al
though married, is said to have seen
his former wife every week and TO
have endeavored to persuade her TO let
him alone.
The woman formerly had consider
able property in Utah, but is thought
to have run through with 1t and TO Dc
practically penniless.
g. Her father, A. H. Rogers, is a well
known merchant at Salt Lake CITY
and a sister, Mrs. M. Il. Barr. is the
wife of well known business man
there.
The police surgeons say she will re-
cover, unless unforeseen complications
set in. The physicians stated she is
mentally unbalanced and in the event
of her recovery probably will be ar
raigned before the insanity COM

Hearing on a number of petitions
for the revocation of the winery IL

a. licensed winery just outside the city
limits of Azusa, occupied most or the
afternoons session of the board of SUI
pervisors yesterday, large NUMBER
of persons testifying that the place
had a demonstrating effect on resi-
dents of Azusa, Covina, Glendora and
surrounding territory, While NUMBER
of other persons, including members or
the Azusa board of trustees, denied
the truth of these assertions, stating
Krebs was a model citizen and con-
Quoted a peaceable place.
: Krebs was recently fined in the Pas
adena court after pleading guilty TO
a violation of the county ordinance,
and the matter of revoking his license
was Immediately taken up with Su-
pervisor Manning, in whose district
the winery is located.
j. L. Matthews, president of the
Azusa chamber of commerce, told the
supervisors the licensing of wineries
was not only a menace to the moral
interests of the city, but also TO lts
business interests. Drunken men from
Krebs' winery, he said, had caused
fires, damaged property ana terrorlzeu
the citizens,s while the members OF the
board of trustees at the last meeting
attributed four-fifths of the trouble in
Azusa and neighboring towns to the
presence of the winery.
On the other hand it was stated by
persons appearing in Krebs' behalf,
that the opposition to him was due to
"cheap politics" and to wave of pro-
hibition.
The matter was taken under advise
