News From Chattanooga

Chattanooga, April -(Special.)-The presence of two organizers of the Street Car Employees union, following the dis charge of number of men from the em- ploy of the Chattanooga Railway and Light company. has had no effect on the service of the company. The non-union men refused to affiliate with the organi- zation. No trouble is anticipated.
 Universal damage throughout this coun- ty and section has resulted from the rain which visited Chattanooga yesterday The precipitation from a. m. Tuesday until [, a. m. Wednesday was 6.6 inches. This has been surpassed here but once in 1886, when the rainfall for 24hour period amounted to 6.7 inches. E
 The county roads in this section are en- tirely oblterated and even in the city proper the damage to the thoroughfares was tremendous. St. Elmo. at the foot or Lookout Mountain, was almost wiped orr the map the torrents from the mountain side playing havoc with retaining walls and sewers. The river here is rising rap idly.

INSANE MAN TRIES
 ID KILL THE POPE

Rome, April 5.-The attempt of man, undoubtedly insane, against the Canons during the service in St. Peters
 fy caused great alarm for a time. particularly as it became known that he originally had designs against the Pope himself.
 After he had been seized by the po- lice, one of whom he wounded, the man subsequently, identified was Peitro Pesanti, told rambling story in which he said he had a rich uncle and aunt whose heir he would have been if tke priests had not induced them to leave their property to religious institutions.
 This exasperated him. he continued excitedly, and he killed them both. For years he was in prison and finally, be- ing released came to Rome to obtain his last revenge, that is kill the Pope.
 Since August of last year, Pesanti sail, he had been trying to enter the vatican but had not been abe to do so. Therefore today he had decided 10 kill some of the ecclesiastical ho1ding office under the Pope.

 APPROPRIATIONS
Governor Wants Them Subject to His Approval Because of State
 of the Treasury

Montgomery, April -(Specal)-Gov. Emmet O'Neal today sent to the two houses of the legislature a special mes- sage in which he suggested that all ap- propriation bills yet on the calendars of the two houses be so amended as to read subject to the approval of the governor" The chief executive stated that in view of the low condition of the state treasury, it would be wiser to add such an amendment to all such meas ures
 ''The state now faces a deficit" the message read, and the revenue bill is by no means certain.'
 The governor then referred to the 60 per cent assessment basis as one which might upset "all calculations and leave the state with insufficient money to meet the calls under the bills granting appro- priations."
 The message closed with the chief ex- ecutive's hope that the amendment sug' gested might never be utilized.

lowed by MT. Horton of Limestone. who said he intended to vote to concur in the report of the bill. MT. Horton dis cussed the provisions of the report at length and made an earnest plea for the adoption of the report.
 Local Legislation
 Mr. Green of Dallas declared that under the amendments to the bill as offered by the conference committee local Legislation would be given to the state instead of local option. He urged the house to send the report back for other changes.
 MT. Sanders of Pike denied that there had. been any good results from the op- eration of proh ibition in the state. He declared that he considered the amend ments good and wise ones.
 MT. Mastin said the opposition was not honest. He declared that the pro- hibitionists in the house wanted the bill returned to the conference com mittee in order that the measure might be possibly defeated by delay.
 The Montgomery representative was followed by Mir. Jackson of Lee, who spoke against adopting the report. He made strong plea for Che young man. hood of the state, stating that the sale of liquor was against all Biblical teach ings.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Jackson's speech MT. Lavender called for the pre- vious question. The report of the con ference committee was then adopted by vote of 57 to AZ.
