Cambridge, Mass, April 17--After
lighting a duel with his younger
sisters sweetheart. to whose court
ship he objected, William J. Rounds,
Jr, was arraigned today in the police
court and held to await Herbert f..
Learners recovery or death from his
wounds. Learner received dozen
slashes from a pocket knife and is
believed to be dying by the surgeons
in the Cambridge hospital.
The beginning OF the duel had all
the elements of an old fashioned ro-
nance. Rounds and his two sisters
met Learner by appointment last
night in a sheltered hollow in the
woods near Cambridge. The two
lads, Rounds is eighteen and Learner
nineteen years old, took of their
coats and seconded by the girls start
ed to battle with their fists. Rounds
got the worst of it in the fist fight
and then called on Learner to defend
himself with a knife. Rounds drew
a long bladed pocket knife and slash
ed his opponent about the neck and
face, narrowly missing the iugular
vein. Learner sank to the ground
unconscious from loss Of blood.

der such conditions as the other
members OF the family did.
May, ten years old; Lillian five
years old, and Harry, two years Of
age, were the little ones who suffered
under the conditions in which they
We're forced to live. Some months
back they lived in squalor such as
had seldom if ever before been known
to exist. The father reluctantly said
the family had moved and conditions
had been improved, Miss Wider
strom, City Marshal Walters, a char
ity agent from a childrens home and
a neighbor testified that the present
home of the Evergrens was anything
but desirable The latter informed
the court that if the elder Evergrens
would just leave the beer can alone
everything would probably be all
right" Mr.. and Mrs. Evergreen said
money had been spent for liquor, but
that was some time ago.
The neighbor who testified de-
clared ii was during the past winter
that ''the can had been rushed" A.
charity official declared it was such
parents as the Evergrens who bred
criminals for municipalities to be
troubled with, maintaining that chill
dren turned loose in the world as
these had been, usually became
youthful thieves and criminals of
other kinds. He pointed out that
Mrs. Evergreen evidently did not care
for her children, otherwise she would
not have left them to starve.
She turned and Indignantly in
formed the agent that she loved the
children from the bottom of her
heart, but had to desert them to go
out and get something to eat. She
said she had worked her finger tips
off for them. The court remarked
that inasmuch as she had worked so
hard and accomplished so little, it
was time the children were sent to
place where they could be properly
cared for.
In concluding the case Acting Re-
corder Wight said The parents could
retain custody of the children for a
month, in an effort to improve their
condition, as a home to which they
may be sent is not in condition 10

York concerning the matter. The
vice president promised to give the
request for the change in schedule
serious consideration, and to comply
with it if it would not too much in
terfere with the system of the rail-
roads schedules.
Yesterday, however, in a communi-
cation Mr.. Besler stated he had de-
cided to include the stop at Perth
Amboy in the route of the late after
noon express, and that he had re-
ferred the matter to the general
passenger agent to make the pro-
posed change effective as soon as
practicable, which will be in a few
days.
Commuters coming from New York
late in the afternoon will appreciate
the effective work of the Board of
Trade in the matter, as they we'll
know the tiresomeness of the trip
from New York to this place on the
local passenger train which makes a
stop at nearly every station. After
leaving Eiizabethport the express will
make no stop before reaching this
city. 1t will arrive here at about
6:20 p. M, meaning a saving of
fifteen minutes per day to commuters
in their trip from New York. Here
tofore there have been only two
trains which the commuters to this
city, leaving New York between 5
and 6 p. m, could take; they were

Washington, April 17:-President
Woodrow Wilson learned yesterday
for the first time that Representative
Thomas ], Scully was confined to his
room. The President at once sent
by one of the Presidents messengers
a note expressing his regret at the
congressman indisposition and
trusting that he would soon be able
to return to his duties at the House
Later in the day some flowers from
the White House Conservatives were
sent to Mr.. Scully with the Presi-
dents card.
Well known members of the
House and Senate sent their best
wishes for the congressman speedy
recovery, and the telephone bell has
been kept ringing constantly. AS the
tariff bill is the only business before
the House at present, and as that is
being discussed in caucus, with few
opportunities to effect changes in the
schedules. Mr.. Scully's illness comes
at an opportune time, SO far as his
House duties are concerned.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Scully will be
able to get to his office before the
first of the week. His throat is still
badly swollen and he is unable to
take solid food.

While MAYOR Ferd Garretson is
working with every effort in behalf
of the city for the elimination of
dangerous grade crossings the Cen
tral and Lehigh Valley Railroad COM
panies are preparing as strong de-
fense as possible to oppose the city.
Under the law providing for the
elimination Of grade crossings, rail-

of the principal objections TO the

Through the efforts of the Board
of Trade commuters between this
city and New York, who have been
in the habit of leaving the Liberty
street station of the Central railroad
on the 53S p. m. train which after
a tedious journey on local passen-
ger train reaches this place at 6 54 !,
will in a few days be able to take
the passenger express which leaves
the New York station at the same
time, and reach this place about
fifteen minutes earlier. The Board
of Trade was notified yesterday that
the schedule for the express would
be so revised as to include Perth AM
boy. Heretofore that train has made
no stop between EliZabethport and
South Amboy.
The action to gain this extra con-
venience was taken by the Transpor-
tation Committee of the Board of
Trade, of which Robert L. Fowler is
chairman. The matter was taken up
by the committee following a COM
plant filed by a commuter to the
board, which was subsequently re-
ferred to the Transportation Commit

MOTHER ADMITS DESERVING THREE
LITTLE CHILDREN BECAUSE THERE
WAS NOT A BIT OF FOOD IN HOME
Five Slept In One Bed, Father Tells
Recorder --PitifuI Case OF Oestitu-
tiOn--Parents Given Chance
WENT INTO BEER CAN

Details of a pitiful case of destitu-
tion and neglect, in which it was
charged three little children, two,
five and ten years of age, respective
ly, were not cared for and had been
deserted to starve to death, came 10
light before Acting Recorder James
S. Wight in the police court last
night. George and Phoebe Evergreen,
Of 400 New Brunswick avenue, We're
the defendants. They were prosecut-
ed by charity agents, including one
from an out of town home and Miss
Alma Widerstrom, assistant to Over
seer of the Poor Lyons.
Mr.. Wight heard evidence which
proved to his satisfaction that three
smaller children out of five We're
neglected. not properly clothed and
were starved and lived in filth and
mire. He was determined to take
the children from their parents and
send them to a home. Finally he
consented to give the parents one
more opportunity. Mr.. Evergreen
promised that no time would be lost
in putting his children in proper con-
dition.
Miss Widerstrom testified that the
children were sorely neglected and
lived among undesirable surround
ings. A neighbor told Of how the
children came running to her home
several times day begging for food.
She said they were very poorly cloth
ed. Mrs. Evergreen admitted she had
deserted the children and left home
because there was nothing to eat
there"
The case darkened as Evergreen
said he and his wife and three young
er children slept in one bed. After
the acting recorder had listened to
testimony for a time he said it
seemed like a case of beefsteak in
the morning, a can of beer for
luncheon and bed to avoid hunger at
night. There was evidence of but
one case in which beefsteak had been
served and that had been in the
morning. The oldest son, twenty
two years old, had left home and
Mrs. Evergreen said some of her time
was occupied in looking after him.

POntiff May Pass Away Today
or May Survive a Week
Is Report.
VATICAN ADMITS THAT
he Is ON DEATH BED
Every Preparation Made for
the Final Hours Which hp-
pear to Have Arrived.
Special By United Press Wire.

Rome, April 17.-Pope Plus may
die today or he might live a week,
he might possibly recover and live
for years. This is the sense in brief
of bulletins and admissions today Of
the Papels physicianas, Drs. March
iafava and Amici. They posted a
bulletin this morning to the effect
that the Holy Father had passed a
quiet night and that his fever had
subsided and his bronchial trouble
ameliorated. Later it become known
that new trouble-dissentar
had developed and was responsible
for the crisis through which he
seems to have passed last night. DR..
Amici said this afternoon that the
trouble remains today and he fears
the exhaustion will kill the Pontiff.
He added that he might live q week.
Cardinal Oreglia, the aged dean
of the Sacred College, this afternoon
rebelled at what he asserts is censor
ship of the Papal physicians and Car
dinal Merry del Val. Angered by the
impossibility of the church heads to
learn the truth about the Pope which
he alleges, Cardinal Oregalia for
mally invited all the cardinals in
Rome to join him in asserting their
rights to assist at the death bed of
the Holy Father.
The Pontiff was bit cheerful this
evening, despite his weakness. Hour
ly injections of a heart stimulant
have been given all day by his physi-
clans and his temperature has hung
below normal much of the day
around 81. This, combined with the
fact that he has slept much, is taken
to indicate that his death is but a
matter of hours Or days.
Roman Lawyer Called.
The great Roman lawyer Patriarch.
who represents the holy see. was called
to the Vatican. 1t was he who drew
up the will of Leo Kill, and it is in
ferred that he went to the Vatican to
draw the will of Plus X. He was sum
moned after Professor Marchiafava
had had a long conference with Cardi-
nal Merry del Val.
The pope's sisters had 10 wait in the
antechamber where they We're re
ceiyed by Mgr. Parolin, the pontiff's
nephew, until the physicians had fin-
ished their examination. They were
allowed to remain In the pope's cham
Der only a short time, after which they
heard two masses celebrated by Mgr.
Bressan and Mgr. Parolin.
Father AgostinO Pifferi. an Augustin-
ian monk, had been ordered to hold
himself In readiness, 1t Is said. to take
the last communion to the pope. that
being a prerogative Of his Office. Mgr
Parolin. the pope's nephew. asked Car
dinal Merry del Val to hasten the ad
ministration Of the last sacrament. but
the physicians said this was most in
advisable They told the cardinal that
the pope would be unable to retain the
viaticum, even If he were able to swal-
low the water. In this case, they said.
the administration of the sacrament
would surely cause deep emotion and
might hasten his death.
