In HIS own HANDS
POpe's Physicians Say He Must
Listen to Advice.
If He Insists on Having His
Own Way, No Relief.

Rome, April 15.@The pope's con-
dition appeared to be practically un-
changed today. The morning bulletin
issued by the papal physicians was as
follows:
1.-The holy father was without fever
this morning. His temperature is 95.
The cough has diminished and expec-
tOrat1on has become easy and copiOus.
The pontiff'S general condition has al
ways been satisfactory.
(Signed.) ''MARCHIAFAVA,
'tAMICI''
Prof. Marchiafava, the pope's ply
sician gave out the following state
ment today:
The illness of the pope is now talk
ing its normal course. The patient
was much better during the forenoon
after his nights rest. He had a slight
setback yesterday afternoon when his
temperature rose slightly.
IF it is possible to induce Pope
Plus to follow the orders of his medi-
cal advisers, the amelioration in his
condition will bring with it a revival
of strength.
I'm other words the recovery of the
pope is chiefly in his own hands.
"The pope is a most difficult pa
tient to deal with. While apparently
giving in to the recommendations of
his physicians, the moment he feels
own way, saying, I command here" ="
Weather Brings Hope.
The clearing up of the weather today
is taken as a hopeful augury for tha
recovery of the pope.
Father Parolin, the pope's nephew,
helped his uncle through his morning
toilet today and gave him his break
fast of weak coffee and milk. Father
Parolin, who has installed himself in
small room in the vatican adjoining
the pope's apartment declared the pope
had suffered from only three coughing
spells during the night and that the
cough was much easier. The pulse
he said, was stronger and the respira-
ton more regular.
When Prof. Marchiafava appeared
the pope was so cheerful that he joked
with the physician and congratulated
him on the realization of his prediction
of recovery. Professor Marchiafava
answered.:
ttI will make another prediction;
you will have a further relapse if you
don't patiently fulfill the doctors
commands
The pope insisted, however, that
remaining in bed would make him ner-
vouS and Professor Marchiafava per-
mitted him to sit up in a chair for
few minutes while his bed was being
made, but would not allow him to
walk. At II O'Clock the pope was as
sisted from his bed and emoved to an
arm chair close by. He had been
there a few minutes when he showed
signs of dissatisfaction.
'That tyrant Marchiafava,'' he re-
marked "forbids me to walk. At least
carry me to the window so that 1 may
enjoy the SUM-
This was done imm ediately. At noon
the pontiff took some chicken jelly,
which seemed to refresh him greatly.

THIRD OF Men OUT
Latest Reports Show 100000
Strikers in Belgium.
No Violence, All Is TRANQUIL
Mines Are Closed.

Brussels, April 15.-More than a
third of the total number of workmen
in Belgium were on strike this morn
ing. Figures gathered by the Asso-
ciated Press from all the provinces ex-
cept Antwerp and West Flanders
showed a total of 256,O0O strikers. In
Antwerp and West Flanders, where
the Socialists are weakest there are
about 100000 strikers, making in all
10000 men.
These figures vary somewhat from
the Socialist estimate of $4,000 and
the government estimate of 100000
There has been no violence. Every
Where today tranquility was reported.
Only four men have been arrested thus
far for interfering with non-strikers.
The strike is intended by the Socialists
as protest against the system of
plural voting which effectually pre-
vents<them from obtaining a majority
at the polls and which has permitted
the clerical party to remain in power
for the last twenty years.
Charleroi, April 15.-The strike was
greatly extended here today. Not a
miner is working and nearly all the
metal workers have laid down their
tools.
Brussels, April 15.-The suspension
of work in the manufacturing suburbs
of Brussels was today on about the
same scale as yesterday.
Liege, April 15.-The number of
men who stopped work in the mines
and factories in this vicinity was great
er today than yesterday.
Antwerp, April 15.-Work was more
general in the northern sections of this
seaport today. In other parts of the
city the situation was unchanged. the
strike generally being only partial.
LaLouviere, April 15.-Gendarmes
were carried on the electric street

Democrats Make Slow Prog
ress on Tariff Bill.
Measure VIII Not Be Ready for
Six Weeks.
INCOME TAX To TAKE Time
May Not Be Reached Before
Last of Week.
Wheat Rate Same as Fixed in
Underwood Bill.

Washington, April 15.-Slow progress
in considering the new tariff bill by
the Democrat house caucus has upset
the early prediction of administration
leaders that the bill would be ready
for the senate by May 1.
After a week of deliberation the eau
Gus is less than half way through the
proposed measure with several of the
important schedules to be disposed of,
notably wool and cotton.
The income tax also is certain to re-
quire considerable time in discussion
as members desire to have it thorough
ly explained Representative COrdell
Hull, of Tennessee, author of the in
come tax section will have charge of
it in the caucus. 1t probably will not
be reached before the last of the week
Today the caucus resumed conSidera-
tion of the agricultural schedule wheat
being first taken up. Northwestern re-
ports opposed the free listing of flour
declaring it inconsistent with a pro-
posed duty of ten cents a bushel on
wheat. Citrus fruits also were the
target for opposition as well as the
free listing of potatoes.
When delibera tionS were resumed
today, many members predicted that
the caucus would not be through the
bill until .he middle of next week. In
that case it's consideration cannot be-
gin until late in that week and the
prospect is that it will be nearer June
1 than May 1 before the bill is ready
for the senate. The caucus rejected
both amendments and left the wheat
rate as fixed by Mr.. Underwood and
his colleague.
Underwood Back at Work.
Representative Underwood Suffici
emily recovered from his illness today
to resume charge of the bill in the
caucus, although his friends urged him
to return home until completely well.
He was so anxious to guide the admin
istration measure through the caucus
however, and to hasten consideration
as much as possible that he remained
on the floor. Representative Levy, of
New York, moved to place wheat On
the free list Representative Fowler,
of Illinois, offered an amendment to in
crease the proposed wheat duty from
ten cents to fifteen cents a bushel
When the citrus fruit provisions
We're reached Democrats from Cali
fornia and Florida began a fight to
maintain present Cuties on lemons,
lines and oranges. Representative
Church, of California, offered an
amendment restoring the rates of the
Dingley act a compromise, Representa-
tiveS Baker and Kettner, of California,
and Sparkman, of Florida, supported
the resolution and Representative Har-
rison. of New York, defended the rates
proposed by the committee.
The church amendment was rejected,
as was also an amendment proposed i y
u. Clark, of Florida, to increase the
duty on pineappIes. This disposed of
the citrus fruit fight before the caucus,
and the BILL so far remained intact.

Escaped Leper Is in Hiding.

Port Townsend Investigation is be-
ing conducted by Surgeon Baylis H..
Earle, of the United States public
health service into the escape from
the Diamond Point quarantine station
of Dominick Pittori, the Minneapolis
leper, and it is believed that he was
taken in small boat from the station
to the main land, where he hired a
buggy and drove down to Port Towns
end. Here he boarded steamer for
Seattle and is believed to be in hiding
in that city.
Pittori is cook by trade and as he
passed most of his money to reach Seat
tie it is feared he will seek employ
ment to earn money to reach his home
in Minneapolis. Surgeon Earle has
sent description of the escaped leper
to the state health officer and to the
railroad agents SO they can keep a
lookout for Pittori. The man has
leprous sores, resembling boils, on his
face, and can easily be detected. It
is said that his condition is such that
he can spread the disease easily, and
he is menace to those with whom he
comes in contact.

BUMPER WHEAT CROP is DUE
Inland Empire and Big Bend Coun-
tries Are Hopeful.

Spokane = The wheat crop ofthe
Inland Empire for 1913, according to
figures compiled in the secrlfaTy s
Office of the chamber of commerce,
promises to be a record-breaker, and
will exceed that of 1912 by fully 20
per cent.
Weather conditions have been ideal
for the production Of bumper crops,
and the acreage planted to wheat is
practically the same as during the pre-
ceding year.
In the Big Bend country of Central
Washington the yield is phenomenal,
averaging close to 40 bushels, and in
many cases running to so bushels to
the acre. Throughout the Palouse the
crops also are above the average.
The wheat crop for the Inland En-
pire for 1913 is estimated at more than
100, 200, 900 bushels, against 1O8, $751;
900 bushels for 1912. About 4, 500, 600
acres of land are in crop, of which
nearly 2, 800, 600 are in the state of
Washington.

officials Are Violators.

Olympia - It is the county officials
in timbered districts, and not the log
gers, numbering mills or campers, that
are causing the state fire warden most
trouble in his campaign for the pre-
vention of fire. Warden Ferris, who
left for Pacific county recently on a
trip of inspection, says that county
commissioners and engineers, while in
most cases observing the law with due
regard, in others violate it palpably in
cutting brush from new rights of way
and dumping the refuse over the en-
bankments or on other peoples land,
leaving it there undestroyed. The law
requires it shall be on the right of
way from which it is cut. Mr.. Ferris
and his county wardens are having
trouble in causing some county officials
to observe this provision of the law.
No destructive fires have occurred
yet.

SEATTLE Is SUING HILL ROAD
City Would Collect $45O, 900 Alleged
Building Damages.

Seattle = The city of Seattle has
brought suit against the Great North
ern Railroad company to collect $780,
900 damages for injury done to the
public library building and the block
of ground bounded by Madison and
Spring streets and Fourth and Fifth
avenues by the construction of the
tunnel through which trains are oper-
ated into the King-street station. The
tunnel, which runs for mile under
the business section of the city, was
built in 1904.
During its construction the wooden
timbering used in the excavation was
left in the ground when the concrete
tube was made. In course of time the
wood decayed and the ground above
sank. No serious damage was done
except to the library building, whose
walls were cracked. The Great North
ern for more than year has been re-
moving the old wood along the whole
length of the tunnel and filing in with
concrete, at cost of $500, 900.

WARsHIPs MAKE NEW PORT
Raymond Rejoices Over Recogni-
ton of Willapa Harbor.

Raymond The official confirmation
and recognition of Willapa harbor as a
harbor and Raymond as port where
United States war vessels may enter
and find safe anchorage was made re-
Gently, when the United States cruiser
Chattanooga, the government tug For
tune and the submarine A-5 arrived at
Raymond.
The coming of these fighting ma
chimes is declared to be demonstration
to the world that the facilities in the
Port of Raymond are adequate for
vessels of any size, because the gov
eminent will not permit its vessels to
navigate a channel that is not abso-
lutely safe. Larger vessels than the
Chattanooga have been at Raymond,
including the British steamer llama,
now in port, but it is argued that such
vessels might come here for years
without dissipating doubts that might
exist as to the safety of the harbor.
