DEATH OF
HOLY FATHER
SEEMS NEAR
contInued From First pare.

should the College OF Cardinals be
called up TO name success to Pope
Plus X. The sub-dean last night Of
ncially notified Cardinal Merry del
val, papal secretary OF state, that he
would act for Cardinal Oreglia
Ihe gloomiest rumors sped about
Rome throughout the night One was
that His Holiness was at the point OF
death and that Father Agostino Pif-
feri, an Augustinian monk. was con-
stantly In readiness to take TO the Pope
his last communion Il also was said
that Mgr. Parolin. the Popes nephew
from Venice, urged Cardinal Merry
del Val to hasten the administration
OF the last sacrament. and that the
physicians forbade Il. because the
proceedings would have a depressing
enect on the patient. These reports
were regarded as exaggerations.
Angelo Sarto, postmaster of a little
village near Venice. the Pope'e aged
brother arrived last night and re-
mained until morning at the pontiifs
bedside. Immediately Il was rumored
that the brothers coming certainly in
dicated the approach of the Holy
Fathers death, but the gossipers
overlooked the fact that Angelo must
have left his village long before the
Pope suffered the relapse. The
brother was ioyously welcomed by
Anna and Maria Sarto, his sisters and
their niece, who in their great grief
and anxiety. apparently feel that the
more relatives by whom the Pope is
surrounded, the better are his chances
OF recovery.
Another rumor that was unverifed
wa sthat Pope Plus remarked TO his
sister Maria that he would soon "see
her meaning their sister Rosa, who
died in February, and grief for whose
death is mainly responsible for the
Pope's apathy and depression.
The Pope slept through a part OF
the night, but his sleep was so heavy
as 10 he almost a coma. When awake
he was very restless. but II was said
that he was cheerful and talked af-
fably with doctors. attendants and
relatives. He realizes the gravity of
his condition. I'm the opinion OF the
doctors.
The only bulletin issued by Mar
chiafava and Amici last night was the
following:
The Pope's temperature tonight is
above 100 degrees. The bronchiel af-
fection Is somewhat worse. The good
general condition Of the patient con-
tinues."
The relape of the Pope came after
day of improvement, which greatly
encouraged sisters and physicians.
The setback, according to Mar
chiafava, was due, as before TO the
Pontiffs refusal to obey orders. He
insisted on talking to his relatives
too much and for a while sat up in a
chair near a window.
Professor Marchiafava said:
THE illness of the Pope is now TAX
ing it's normal course. The patient
was much better during the hours OF
the forenoon after his nights rest.
He had a slight setback late yester-
day afternoon when his temperature
rose slightly. II It is possible to in
duce Pope Plus to follow the orders
OF his medical advisers, the amelior-
alton I'm his condition will bring with
i Il n revival OF strenRth
