FEELING STRONGER
Patient Not Permitted to I'm.
dergO Any Exertion.

Rome, April 12.-The pope is feel
ing stronger and expressed disappoint
ment at not being able to receive the
pilgrimage from Venice. He asked
Cardinal Merry del Val to receive the
pilgrims for him and hand each OF
them a commemorative medal.
A sister and niece of the pope Wis
tied him and remained several hours
in his room, while Mgr. Bressan, prt-
vate secretary to his holiness, cele-
brated mass. The pope prayed sitting
up in bed.
The pope at times complains OF
pains in the small of the back, which
increase when he sits up and when
he coughs. These and other symptoms
are attributed by the physicians TO
neuralgia arising from influenza and
remedies have been applied to insure
freer action of the internal organs.
Professor Marchifava is apparently
not quite satisfied with the progress
of the recovery of strength. He is in
flexible in his decision not to allow
his patient to undergo any exertion.

OBJECT TO FREE SUGAR PLAN
President Sees Representatives o
States Afrected.

Washington, April 12.-President
Wilson was urged to agree to modii.
cation in the tariff schedule on sugar
to make it discretionary with the ex-
ecutive at the end of three years
whether sugar should be free.
Former Governor Alva Adams of
Colorado told the president that while
the industry in his state could stand
reduction to l cent a pound. as now
provided in the tariff bill, the knowl-
edge that sugar would be free at the
end of three years would have a de-
pressing effect on business during
that period.
Colonel Robert Ewing, Democratic
national committeeman from Louisi-
ana, discussed the question with the
president and took the same position
as former Governor Adams.
