THE TARIFF TAKES
UNDERWOOD'S GOAT
CHAIRMAN OF THE WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE sUF-
FERs A BREAKDOWN.

Washington, April 14.-Chairman
Underwood OF the ways and means
committee was ordered to bed today
by his physicians, who declared he
had slight fever and was in danger
of breakdown from hard work on
the tariff bill. He may be confined
for several days. His illness, how
ever, did not interfere with the house
caucus, which will work on.
Having withstood the test Of vigOr-
Gus opposition to the susar scgeduls
Saturday, the prospect was today
that no material changes proposed to
the bill could get enough support to
he effective, not excepting free raw
wool, against which a definite oppo-
sition has developed. Consideration
of the wool question probably VIII
not be reached for several days.
Chairman Underwood's friends
were inclined to minimize his illness,
saying he surely would be back at
his desk after few days.
Politically, his enforced absence
from the democratic caucus. where,
as chairman of the ways and means
committee, he is leader Of the house
! democrats standing behind the ad
/ ministration tariff bill. was oonsid-
1 cred Of such Importance that it would
not be dismissed lightly.
Today, Representative Francis Bur
ton Harrison Of New York, one OF
Mr.. Underwood's closest lieutenants
and staunch supporter Of the ad.
ministration, took charge Of the eau
Gus and the work went on. There is
a strong fight on in the house against
the administration wool and sugar
program. 1t is conceded on every
side that the absence Of Mr.. Under
wood gives courage to the forces op
posing the proposals President vii
son favors.

WOMEN in A ROW.

Washington, April 1.-THE CONT
mental congress of the Daughters of
the American Revolution opened to-
day with a fight almost as soon as
President.General Scott had finished
her address of welcome, asking for
peace and harmony"
The reading Of the report of the
credentials committee aroused a
storm, and many objections to rulings
OF the chair. A substitute motion
providing for a new committee on
which each of the three contending
candidates for president-general
should have two representatives, met
with little recognition. The report
finally was adopted.
The event of the day, aside from
routine, was President Wilson's adj
dress of welcome to the delegates
late in the afternoon. Supporters of
Mrs. William c. Storey finally won a
victory by forcing to a favorable vote
g motion providing that committee
of representatives of each of three
candidates for president-general
should act with the credentials com
mittee in passing upon contested del

POPE'S CONDITION is
CONSIDERED BETTER
SEVERE SPELL OF COUGHING
LAST NIGHT RELIEVES sU-
PREME PoNTlFF

hOulS, April 10. no buhOIAh ~
sued by the papal physicians early to-
day reads:
His Holiness passed a tranquil
night. Bronchial symptoms are reas-
suring. Temperature SO, General
condition good.
"(signed) MARCHIAFAvA.
AMICI"
While the salletin is optimistic it
leaves many 1istfeanloLs that the pa
tient really has had a turn for the bet
ter. Undoubtedly, however there was
noticeable amelioration in the popes
condition during the night
The pope's temperature decreased at
s o'clock today to 9S degrees. The
disappearance of fever is interpreted
as sign that there is no more fear
of pneumonia.
Professor Ettore Marchiafaya on
leaving the pope's apartment after ex-
amining him, said:
81 now trust that the pope's illness
will have a favorable conclusion if it is
possible to induce the patient to take
proper care of himself"
The improvement is considered most
encouraging. Last night was the sew
enth since the first relapse suffered by
the pope, and the gravest anxiety had
been caused by his increasing weah
nsss and malnutrition
It now appears that the excess of
coughing suffered last night greatly re
lieved the pontiff and enabled him to
obtain long and restful sleep.
Rome had been thrown into depres-
sion at the announcement Of this at
tack and many thought the pope had
reached the last extremely, until Car
dinal Merry del Val reassured them.
Durin the night the pope's tempera-
4 tire gradually decreased until it went
down to 9S degrees.
| At $40 p M, it was stated that the
condition Of the pope had remained
stationary during the afternoon. His
4 temperature has not risen, which is
considered a certain proof that there
was no trace Of pneumonia and also OF
the alacrity of the pope's recovery un.
less there are complications.
