 OF IMPORTANCE

 fecting Union

San Francisco, August 9--Important leg islatve matters will be discussed by the laws committee of the International Typo graphical union, which will hold its first session here today in connection with the convention of the union to be formally opened August II.
 Al a conference of the committee yes- terday, Thomas N. Gaffney of Syracuse, N. r., was elected chairman and Samuel Hadden of Toronto secretary.
 Among the more important issues which will come up before the committee will be the proposal to adopt universal wage system, abolishing the piece system en- trely. A referendum vote recently taken was in favor of such action, but doubt is expressed as to the desirabiIity of making it Immediately effective. Ar bltration of disagreements with employ CTS also will be discussed

POPE PLUS ENJOYS
 GOOD NIGHTS REST

Rome August 9.-Pope Plus early tonight enjoyed several hours of rest in his new room in the third floor of the vatican, to which he was moved today from his small bedchamber on the fourth floor. The change seems to have revived the Pope's strength somewhat. and cheered his spirits
 When DTS Petacci and Marchiafava visited his holiness in the early even ing his temperature was 101, but at midnight, after he had perspired pro- fusely, it fell below 100. The pains Tn the knee also diminished and his hol- mess was able to obtain some refresh ing sleep.
 The efforts of the physicians will now be toward restoring fully the strength of the Pope. fearing that otn- erWise there may be a fresh compli- cation of the bronchial troubles. Eight
 years ago today great throngs as- sembled at the vatican to greet and venerate the newly elected pontiff at the moment of his coronation. Today, however, owing to the illness of the Pope, only a few of the cardinals, mem bers of the diplomatic corps and mem bers of society were present in the chapel, where a mass was said in honor of the anniversary. Prostrate on his bed of sickness, the Pope is reported to have said that though absent he was there in spirit.
 The transfer of the Pope to the other room was no easy task. His holiness was lifted upon the mattress on which he was lying and placed upon a stretcher. Then the Pope was propped up by pillows in a comfortable posi- tion, and the gouty leg, swathed in cotton and wool, was swung in a cradle.
 On reaching the new apartment the Pope was considerably exhausted, but seemed to derive great comfort in hay ing larger room and a greater amount of air. Like many old Italians. the Pope dreads to lie in bed with the win dows open and insists upon keeping them closed both day and night, re-

CANNOT OPERATE
 CHAIN OF SALOONS
Governor Issues Statement As a Quietus For the
 Various Rumors

Montgomery, August 9.-(Specia1)- Agitation of the question as to whether a corporation can operate a chain of saloons under the Smith regulation bill the effect of which would be to allow a rich brewer to control number of saloons through the employment of agents, is declared without warrant of reasonableness by those officials at the capitol who were vitally interested in the passage of the measure.
 The officials point out that the bill is positive in its requirements that only one license can be issued to an indi- vidual or corporation, while strict at tention to duties on the part of the excise commissions will prevent the "subsidizing" of saloon operators.
 In the opinion of Gov. Emmet oNeal, who worked assiduously and untiringly to perfect the Smith meas ure, the bill is without doubt the best of it's kind in operation in the United States today, while 1t is about as 'swee sg as a measure could be. In an interview today the chief executive of Alabama said that the Flaw is all right. the main requirement at the present time being that the citizens should aid the various excise commits sions in the enforcement of the stat ute"
 'T have read various reports from sec tions of this state in which the purpoT is to distort the law" the chief execu. tive continued, but have found in every instance that the law Is positive in its declarations.
 Regarding the report that it is prob- able for a brewer to operate chain of saloons, I would like to direct the at- tention of such agitators to the sec ton of the law which says that before a license can be issued to a saloonist, he must make a sworn statement before the excise commission swearing to every al tcle of furniture in his establishment and to every incidental feature connect cteG with the saloon that brings about a finan cial expenditure. Of course the law has no way of proving whether or not perjury has been committed, but the statutes are positive as to what can be done in al cases of perjury. This is where the dut! of the citizens come in.
 If they will take the excise commits sioners into their confidence, predict tha the brewers and corporations who desire to control a chain of saloons will fin6 their every avenue cut off"

ADVERSELY
 HOUSE COTTON BILL

Washington, August 9.-The Senate fi- nance committee today decided to report adversely the House cotton tariff revis- ion bill. The bill will go to the Senate tomorrow.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa will offer an amendment to the cotton bill when 1t comes before the Senate providing for the revision of the iron and steel sched- ules of the Payne-Aldrich law.
 This complication, coming on top of threatened veto by the President of the statehood bill and the deadlock of the wool bill apparently has thrown all hope of early adjournment in the air.

eventually make the new New Theater

FOOLED THE TOWN.

University students have long en-
joyed reputation as practical jokers,
but there has been nothing quite so
successful as the famous sultan of
Zanzibar hoax of some years ago at
Cambridge. One day the mayor of
the town received the following wire
from one Henry Lucas, Hotel Cecil,
London: THE sultan of Zanzibar will
arrive at Cambridge at 4:27 for a
short visit. Could you arrange to show
him buildings of interest and send
carriage?" The mayor rose to the
occasion, and in due course four dark
complexioned gentlemen with turbans
and voluminous trousers arrival at
Cambridge, The mayor and corpora
ton entertained them right royalty,
but to their chagrin they discovered
a few hours later that the interesting
orientals were simply a quartet of
undergraduates who had played an
immense practical joke upon the
town.-London Spectator.

TOOK A LONG WHILE.

Signor Puccini, although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, is
still a young man. On the subject of
his early success the Italian com
poser said recently in New York.
81 have been very lucky. Recogni-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one is too old to enjoy it.
81 remember one of my countrymen,
q centenarian, who, had he died be.
fore seventy, would never have seen
any of his operas produced. Luckily
he lied to so great an age that he re-
ceied for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough, though
this splendid artist regretted his
years of obscurity and neglect, and he
frequently spoke bitterly of his bad
fortune.

life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera in Rome, and said res.

AN INSECT MENAeERIE.

A menagerie of insects will soon be
installed in the Museum of Natural
History in Paris. Cages of glass, in
stead of steel, will be occupied by
spiders, ants, bees, caterpillars and
beetles, instead of lions, tigers,
woles and hyenas. Then it will be
possible for the public to study the
lives of ants underground and of bees
in their hives. The idea is due to J..
H. Fabre, an old and celebrated
French entomologist, who keeps pri-
vately a similar insectarium..
I'VE hope to do on a large scale
what M. Fabre has done in miniature,
and reveal new world to the public"
said the director of the museum to the
correspondent of the Daily News. ut
will be of inestimable benefit to stud
ents and also artists, decorators and
modistes seeking original forms and
colors, as they can copy the living
insects. Our collection will prepare
students for examination of the higher
vetebrates and will enable chemists
to search for the acids and poisons
secreted by unknown members of the
immense faily of insects. The biologist
will also be enabled to follow every
process of insect metamorphosis. Why
there is an entire world to discover
and reveal by means of the insect
menagerie."

CROSS ATLANTIC

NEW YORK, March 15.-Otto H..
Kahn, upon leaving for Europe today
on the Cunard liner Mauretania, said
he was leaving the financial situation
in this country very satisfactory and
that for the present at least there was
no cause for worry. With Mr.. Kahn
were his wife and four children. He
said that this trip, which will include
visits to several foreign countries, is
for pleasure alone. During the corona
ton ceremonies of King George the
Kahn family expects to occupy "a
well-known mansion which the finan-
ciar has leased for the occasion.
The four Kahn children, who are
taking the voyage with their parents,
are Maude e. Kahn Margaret D..
Kahn, Gilbert w. and Roger
1t was said by the steamship COM
pany that the booking suites on the
liner for Mr.. Kahn was the largest
single reservation ever made for one
family The expenses for the trip
are $1,000, while there is $4,000 in
addition for large number Of SER
wants who will leave ON the Caronia.
These servants are to go to the Lon

were the valet for Mr.. Kahn, his wife's
maid and a special stewardess, maid
for Miss Maude, governess with Miss
Margaret, and nurses for the two
boys.
Their itinerary includes, first of all,
week in London, another in Berlin,
then trip through Italy, with some
time in Paris, terminating in England
for the coronation. Mr.. Kahn said
that they would return August 1.
81 see no cause for immediate finan
cial worry in the United States" said
Mr.. Kahn in an interview on deck,
"and as far as l know everything is
satisfactory. That includes the finan-
ces of the Metropolitan Opera House
as well. But the report that there is
going to be profit this year is wrong.
We expect to come out even. At the
present time it looks as if we will be
able to meet all expenses through the
proper channels"
Asked how Enrico Caruso is getting
along, Mr.. Kahn said he talked with
the tenor yesterday and added that he
would not be surprised to hear that
the singer will appear next week.
"Caruso is more frightened than
hurt" Mr. Kahn went on, "and to me
he seemed to be in perfect physica
condition. He is like the small boy
who is more scared than anything
else. Although he has not been billed
