Unidentified Woman Had Revolver
in Her Possession When Taken in
Charge by Officers.

London, April 10.-Policemen sur
rounded Holloway Jail and prompt
ly dispersed the crowds attempting tc
gather in expectation Of Mrs. Emme,
line Pankhurst's release today
When 5000 or 10000 persons were
gathered at the prison last nighi
waiting to see the famous militant
leader carried out, an unidentified
woman was arrested with a revolver
in her possession. Immediately Scot,
land Yard ordered that no lettering
be permitted around the Jail.
The release of Mrs. Pankhurst un-
der the provisions of Home Secretary
Mckenna's "Ticket Of leave" plan
was hourly expected, as it was known
that the leader is weakening now
under her hunger strike. This IS the
second day that she has been in
Holloway Jail and Mrs. Pankhurs:
has not touched any food since a few
minutes before Sir Charles Montague
Lush sentenced her 10 prison for
three years for melting the bomb eX-
plosion that partly wrecked the coun-
try home of the Chancellor of the
EXchequer.
A battered canister in possession
of Scotland Yard Detectives may
prove. clue leading to the arrest OF
the sufrageJtes wanted for the re-
cent train outl'ages. An empty car
in the Kingston train was partly
burned last night and in the ruins
was found a canister. About the
same time a guard on another King
ston train found an unexploded cam
MISTER of powder in a car, VIII light
ed fuse, which had been burned to
within half inch of the explosive.
Thai canister was similar to the one
found in the empty car that was
partly burned at Stockport last
week. Fragments of such can
lister, too, were found in The wrecked
railway station at Oxford several
DAYS ago, and the police believe that
the same person arranged all the
explosives and combustibles used IN
the recent militant outrages.

NV Dear Mr.. Callahan: 1t was not
until l had an opportunity to look
through your book, which you were
good enough ia leave me, that l
had the least idea what a monument
tai work you had prepared. With
all the Washington literature that
has been accumulated for over one
hundred years, it appeared to me al
most impossible that anything new
and important could be written OF
him; yet you have accomplished this
unexpected feat. Not only is your
book. in it's general scope and get-up
a capital piece of work and one
which both you and the historical
Masonic Lodge and Memorial Assocl-
alton may justly be proud of, but it
shows an amount of labor, care and
skill which may call forth not only
nv admiration but my warm thanks
The work is a real contribution to
our history, and l feel both per-
sonal and state pride that, without
much heralding there should have
issued from THE historical town OF
Alexandria. so important an addition
to our annals. I have not the good
fortune to be a Mason, but l am a
virginian, and you have made US all
YOUR debtors. Pray accept from me
an assurance of my high appreci-
alton of the honor you have done me
in presenting me with copy Of your
book.

Rome, April 10.-Pope Plus \ raj
lied considerably this afternoon and
talked with Cardinal Merry del Val,
0apaI secretary of state. He told the
cardinal that he was determined 70
recover and would be well in time per-
sonally to celebrate Pentecostal mass
at st. Peters or May 1st in honor of
Constantine year.
The pope's improved condition, DR..
Andrea Amici said, was due directly
20 the fact that His Holiness took
nourishment this morning. Ignoring
he injunction Of his physician, the
oontiff for three days refused to eat
anything, but was persuaded 20 take
the yolk of ar egg in milk and cordial
:oiay. This gave him strength, and
when his fever disappeared as it has
previously at midday, he fel. better.
Pope Plus has exhibited no symp-
:oms other than those always attend
.nc influenza, and it is only his adj
yanced years and his apathetic atti-
Jude that have made his condition
alarming.
Rome, April 10.--The condition Of
Pope Plus apparently was unchanged
early today. After restless and try
ing night his fever had disappeared
ibis morning and his temperature was
normal. His heara action however, was

The refusal of Pope Plus to follow
thcinr advice is blamed by the physlc-
ians for the seriousness OF his cond-
ton. Today Drs. Marchiafava and
Amci were authority for statement
that for three days the pope refused
all food, finally conscnting this morn
iny to drink mixture containing cor
dial, milk. an dthe yolk of an egg.
It is the belief Of his physicians that
the pope now has successfully passed
he cribs of his relapse though ;he
crisis of the influenza and fever is yet
20 come.
His holiness is so weakened that the
doctors today forbade his sisters TO
talk 10 him.: He has not slept nor

Yesterday afternoon the AleXan-

High School at the local ball park,
by he score of II to i. Alter the
fourth inning the result was hardly
ever in doubt, although there were
several times when base hit by
Tech. would have given them cou-
ple of runs. The game was long
drawn out affair on account OF the
the number of bases on balls when
were given. Raison relieved Ander-
on in the sixth inning and held the
visitors runless in the rest OF 'he
game.
The feature of the game was the
excellent playing of ross on the Of
fensive. Out of five trips to the plate
he secured five HIS, stole three bases
and made two runs. In one of his
hits the ball cleared the corner OF
the fence in right feld,but ne was
