ROME, Sept. 26.-Facing the prob
lem OF curing the nostalgia affecting
the pope. the vatican physicians. Drs.
Petacci and Marchifava today, decid-
ed to set aside the tradition that has
surrounded the head OF the church for
centuries.
From now on the family OF Pope
Plus will live within the walls OF the
vatican. While free to 60 and come
they will abandon their ordinary vo-
cations and be assigned quarters
where they can daily meet and talk
with his holiness and II possible keep
his mind from wandering back to his
native Venice.
Anna and Maria Sarto. the aged
sisters OF the head OF the church, who
nursed him through his recent illness :
Angelo Sarto, his brother, a former
mall carrier and more recently post
master OF their native village; the
latters son, born since the elevation
OF his illustrious uncle and who Is to
be confirmed by his distinguished rel
ative In the near future, and Tsveral
nephews and nieces OF the pontiff will
be the members of the family party.
There are three sisters, members
OF close religious order, who cannot
be called to aid the doctors without
a special dispensation from the pope
and this he would never grant. Still
a sixth sister is the wife OF tavern
keeper In a small Italian village. She
will not leave her husband but has
promised to make frequent visits to
the vatican.
The pope's health so far as his con-
stitution Is concerned is better than
In years. II Is his peace Of mind that
the doctors feel must be alleyiated.
With the advent OF the cold weather
and the bringing here OF his relatives
the physicians hope soon to have their
patient out OF all danger. His holi-
ness has recently told his intimates
that he would give two years OF his
life to witness the inauguration OF the
new Campanile Of the Cathedral Of
ST. Marks, in his beloved Venice and
the cardinals discussed whether this
wish could be granted When they
decided adversely the blow had DC
pressing effect on the pope. Such
scenes are to be prevented In the
future.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Collector
William Loeb, Jr.. of the port OF New
York, former private secretary to
President Roosevelt. may be manager
OF President Taft's reelection cam
paign. II was learned today that one
Of the subjects under consideration
between Loeb and his friends when he
visited Washington last week was the
advisability or his acceptance OF the
chairmanship of the Republican ma
tional committee.
Loeb's services are wanted by some
OF the presidents friends because OF
the political ability he demonstrated
while serving at the White House and
also because he Is regarded as pro-
gressive, who might do much to heal
fractional wounds.
He has not been formally offered
the chairmanship, but II Is known that
such a request will be made soon un-
less President Taft Unexpectedly calls
upon Charles d. Hilles, his private sec
retary to act as his political manager.

Lawton T. Hemans, Of the Michigan

OF testimony In the demurrage case
instituted by the railroads to test the
right OF the commission to make
demurrage rules, says that a decision
adverse to the commission would have
very serious effect. II would mean
further federal encroachment on state

of Governors, representing all the
states. took a decided stand against
the disposition OF the government to
encroach on the authority OF the
states, as indicated In recent federal
decisions, in their recent meeting, held
In New Jersey.

Gives an Reason.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26.-The first
break In the price OF refined sugar
came today when Arbuckle Brothers
announced a reduction OF rs points TO
6.25 for fine granulated. All OF the
other sugar men, with the exception
OF the Federal Co. followed suit. The
reason assigned was that the new
crop Is coming into the market and
that the foreign scarcity Is not as
great as was anticipated.
One reason suggested by brokers
was that there has been falling OF
In consumption since the price was
advanced recently and that the sugar
magnates are desirous OF preventing a
boycott OF their wares by the high
price materializing.
