BRUSSELS. April -Belgium's
threatened industrial strike for uni
versal suffrage on the principle OF
"one man. one vote," became a real
ity today when about $4,000 socialists
and trades-union men quit work, de-
claring they would remain idle until
the government granted their de-

The government had $4,000 troops
ready for instant action but many of
the regiments were known to be Of
anti-clerical sentiments and in SYM
pathy with the socialists.
Soldiers do not fire on your broth
ers,' was the motto on a huge banner
displayed in front Of the Peoples
Palace, headquarters of the strikers.
The mine workers, 10000 strong,
were the first to quit and they were
followed by the railroad men, enough
of the latter remaining on duty to
operate trains, because the Belgian
railways are government owned.
Factory workers, carpenters, iron
and steel workers and many other
crafts were out today. and the strike
leaders predicted that by Wednesday
more than half a million workers
representing every branch of industry
would be on strike. All of the work
ers did not quit on the first call he

MADRID, April 1.-the police

in connection with yesterdays at.
tempt to assassinate King Alfonso.
One of the assassins' bullets grazed
the kings glove, inflicting a slight
skin abrasion on one finger. The fact
that the attempt on Alfonso's life
was more nearly successful than at
first made known, was kept secret un-
til the excitement of the people had
cooled.
Rafael Sancho Allegro, the assassin,
though put through a merciless third
degree, stoutly maintained that he
represented no organization and had
no accomplices. He gave no explana.
ton for his act, and letter to hts
wife, found in the prisoners pocket,
threw the only light on it. The letter
said:

quested, should not have committed
it."

ROME, April 14.-Pope Plus X slept
little, and early today his temperature
was above 102. DR.. Andreas Amici
spent the night at the pontiffs bed
side when the trachea1 bronchitis
brought on fits of coughing with
bloody expectorations which resem-
bled pneumonia symptoms.
Today there was no trace of album
enarial and Professor Marchiafava
said the kidney trouble Is entirely
gone Despite the coughing, the
heart action is no weaker, and the
physicians are now wholly concerned
with the popes lungs.
The vatican physicians, Prof. Ettore
Marchiafava, and Andrea Amici today
issued this bulletin:
The pope passed the night tran
quilly. He has no fever this morning
and his general condition is good.
(Signed) "Marchiafava, Amici"
The doctors had their first profess
sional difference today, and it was
said that they quarreled violently. Am
lei wanted to publish the pope's pulse,
temperature and respiration and
Marchiafava refused to allow it. Be.
ing the senior physician, he carried
his point.
The pope's bronchitis was greatly
improved. Tephritis has almost en-.
tirely disappeared, and his heart ac-
tion is no worse, but the physicians
were gravely concerned over a fresh
symptom, the hardening of the pom
tiff's arteries.
Though both the papal physicians
made hopeful statements concerning
the pope's condition, activities at the
1 vatican today indicated that the church
officials regarded the situation as very
grave.
BY orders of Cardinal Merry del Val
papal secretary of state, the Swiss
guards searched the entire vatican
: from top to bottom, and expelled ev

had business there.

lister the last sacraments and give alb

brother of the cardinal of that name
and has been Pope Plus confessor fol
many months.

/ but not alarming. We can overcome
the present crisis. Then II he fol
lows the physicians advice he may

Some People Pat Him on tho
Back Regarding Tar
III Bill.
IS STILL STANDING PAT
Has Received Hundreds Of Objections
as Well as Communications
on the New
Measure.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, april 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson made 1t emphatically
plain today that no one has been
authorized to declare his position on
the exemption of labor and cooper
ative organizations from the opera
tion of the Sherman antitrust law.
At his regular weekly conference
with the Washington correspondents,
the attention Of the president was
called to declarations made by repre-
sentatives and senators that he will
sign the sundry civil bill, which for
mer President Taft vetoed, should it
reach him with the exemption clause
included.
The presidents position is that this
is most serious problem and that
while he has an opinion on the sub
ject such opinion is subject to change
and that any declaration of his in
tentions at this time is premature
and does not represent the facts.
With the tariff bill a week old to-
day, the president has been greatly
pleased with the manner in which it
has been received throughout the
country While he has received hun
dreds Of objections, in person and by
letter dealing with various schedules,
he also has received concentrations
which over-balance these. The oh
jections it was pointed out, came for
the most part from interested parties
and will make no change in the po-
sition of the administration.
1t was again emphasized today that
the president, as the United Press
pointed out on Saturday, is standing
pat in his position on lower tariff. He
considers many of the arguments that
are being made against the bill mis-
leading. This is especially SO in the
case of the wool and sugar schedules.
When the presidents attention was
called to the declaration of the high
tariff wool representatives who said
free wool will ruin the industry, he CAL
ed attention to the morning paper quo
tations on wool which show that
there is very little difference to the
prices here and abroad. This proves
conclusive to the executive, that with
free wool there will be active compe-
tition. and the wool industry in Amer
lea will be placed on healthy foot
ing.
And SO far as sugar Is concerned
the president is adamant. He has
completed his investigation OF this
/. particular schedule and is satisfied
that both lhe beet and cane sugar
factories Of the United States can
compete with those of all other ma
tons In the open market. The presi
dent has made 1t plain to his callers
that he expects some Of the sugar
factories controlled by the trusts viii
shut down in order to make 1t appar
ent that their present arguments are
we'll founded, but he also takes the
position that they will reopen fol
business as soon as II is seen thai
this sort of argument is futile.
The president believes there is no
single ruinous clause in the entire
Wilson Underwood measure. But hi
insists that the passage of the i'm
pending bill will stimulate compel
ton everywhere, with the result tina
prices OF themselves will come down
