Instead of assisting the defense he

Fred Pfanschmidt has reputation

damaging to the defense.

THE GIRL IN THE CASE
Wealthy Tailor Probably Was Guilty

CHICAGO April 15.- Detectives
working on the mysterious murder Of
George Dietz, wealthy tailor and art
connoisseur. who was found beaten TO
death yesterday morning. today
sought to establish direct connection
between the killing Of Dietz and the
death OF Edna May Frederickson. a
l6-year old girl, who died on March {,
as the result of criminal operation.
Their theory that such connection
exists is based upon these facts:
That the murderer of Dietz left a
note charging his victim with the be-
trayal of young girl
That in Dietz's pocket was found
clipping from : German newspaper,
with an account of the Frederickson
girls death, and piece of note
paper upon which was scrawled the
name OF the midwife, suspected OF
responsibility for the girls death
With these facts in their posses
sion, the police wove a theory that
the wealthy tailor may have been re-
sponsible for the Frederickson girls
condition and that the girls sweet
heart, or relative committed the MUIR
der to avenge his crime against the
girl. They sought to learn the where

that Dietz ever met the Frederickson

was resumed today, and the market

Guiding revision of duties on agricul-
tural products.
Wordy war between the democrats
opened today with the fall of the
gavel OF Caucus Chairman Palmer.
The provision in the Underwood bill
to tax imported wheat ten per cent
was the first item considered Rep
Iresentatives from northwestern mill
ing states opened the attack on the
wheat paragraph. They ridiculed the
alleged inconsistency of the Under
wood measure by taxing wheat and
putting flour on the free list. The
wheat tax was declared to be a
sop thrown the farmer, which free
flour would counteract.
Proposed duties, respectively OF
three cents a pound on butter and 20
per cent on cheese, were also attacked
by democrats from the middle western
dairy states. Other democrats con
tended these great food products
should go on the free list.
Alleged control of butter prices by
the "Elgin trust was an argument
used by the latter.
Opposition also developed to the
proposed tariff of So a ton on hay and
16 cents pound on hops. Western
congressman cited that the hop grow
ing industry is an infant affair,
needing adequate tariff protection.
Another fight was promised over the
fish schedule. New England demo.
Gratis prepared to wage desperate
battle for increase of the fish duties,
to prevent Canadian competition.
A determined struggle was also
planned by the New England interests
joined by many southern democrats,
over the cotton schedule. Pacific
coast democrats were also prepared
for a battle royal late this afternoon
or tomorrow on the citrus fruit clause
BY an overwhelming vote, after
ninety minutes debate, the caucus re.
fused to put wheat on the free list
A roar of negation also defeated an
amendment by Representative Fowler
of Illinois, proposing to increase the
duty on wheat from 10 to Is cents
bushel.
Representative Levy of New York
offered the amendment for fee wheat
Another amendment proposed to
the wheat paragraph, also defeated
was to place countervailing duty q
three cents a bushel only on wheat
shipped from countries which discrim,
mate against American wheat.
Representatives Murray of Okla
homa and Borland of Missouri fought
vigorously for higher duty on wheat
They declared that farmers were as
much entitled to protection as manu-.

however, in support Of the wheat

ROME, April 15.-Pope Plus con
tinued to improve this afternoon, and
his condition greatly encouraged the
physicians, though 1t was not impos-
sible that the unreasonable weather
might bring on another collapse that
would mean the beginning OF the end.
The following bulletin was issued
at noon:
The pope has no fever and his
temperature is 98.1; his cough is less
severe, and general conditions are
good.
(signed) "Marchiafava, Amici."
Though the pope spent tranquil
night, he was very weak and DR.. An

ante room, within instant call. 1t was
the coldest April night that Rome has
had for many years and rain fell al
most constantly. 1t was feared that
the weather might depress the pom.
tiff and bring on fits Of coughing that
might cause his collapse.
But his holiness slept well and
awoke but a few times during the
night. His pulse remained almost
normal and his temperature did not
get above 90.
When Prof. Marchiafava and Dr..
Amici made a thorough examination
early today, they found that the bron-
chial trouble is receding pehceptibly
and said there was no likelihood that
It would now invade the lungs. The
pope breathed much easier than on
yesterday, and his kidneys were found
to be almost normal.
The increased fever and slight sink
Ing spell that alarmed doctors and at
tendants late yesterday ended in the
rope falling into deep sleep. When
he awoke in the early night he was
greatly refreshed and partook of con-
siderable nourishment in the form of
milk and gelatin. He was e.traordin-
arily cheerful, which puzzle l the doc
tors until the pontiff told them a
dream he had.
According to the story, which came
out of the vatican as gossip, unvouch-
ed for, the pope said he dreamed he
was back in his beloved Venice, trav-
cling the grand canal in the patriar-
chial gondola Suddenly his sister,
Rosa, who died in February, appear
ed to him out of cloud and said:
The moment is not come for you
to join me; your work is not yet fin
ished."
Again the pope fell into deep and
unbroken sleep, which continued until
early today.
The pontiff's nephew, a priest OF
Venice, was allowed to visit the sick
room for few minutes and greatly
cheered his uncle. 1t was said that
the young man had a perceptibly
frightening effect on the little apart
ment a square away where the sor-
rowing sisters Of the pope and a niece
worked far into the night finishing
the lace funeral vestment they are
making for their brother.
