Defies the Six Great Powers.

The little kingdom of Montenegro
has thrown down the gauntlet to the
six great powers of Europe.
She declines to yield to the demand
of the powers to abandon her at
tempts to gain possession of Scutarl
and has officially announced tha
there will be no departure from an at
titude which conforms to the necessi
ties of the state of war existing be
tween the allies and Turkey"
An international feet, comprising
warships of Austria-Hungary, Italy
France, Germany and Great Britain
is now blockading the Montenegro
port of Antivari. These include foul
Austrian warships, the British cruls
ers Yarmouth, Infexible and Glouces
ter; the German cruiser Breslau, M
Italian cruiser Pisa and the Frenc
cruiser Edgar Quinet. Russia Is no
represented by warship, but has &C
quiesced in the naval demonstration.
A brigade of Austrian troops from
Cattaro has been meneuyering nea'
the Montenegrin boundary. The custo
mary notice has not been given thf
Montenegrin government, and Aus
trias action is considered unfriendlI

THE POPE MUCH BETTER
Physician Says the Crisis Has Been
Passed.

Passed.
The pope's condition appears to be
much improved. His temperature Is
normal and seems to show that the
acute crisis has been passed, but his
weakness continues.
The doctors, in addition to other stlm-
ulants, are now giving him champagne
mixed with milk to overcome his de-
preston. They are also administer
ing opiates.
Professor Marchiafava made three
visits to his patient. He found the
pope without any fever. His sisters,
Anna and Maria, continue to take
turns in acting as nurses for him dur
ing the day.
The Osservatore Romano reiterates
it's former statement as to the pom
tiff's improvement. 1t accuses the
Liberal press of sending out and
printing exaggerated stories of the
pope's illness and appeals to the gov
ernment to enforce a censorship on
false news. Another statement in the
Osservatore says: Contrary to what
has been asserted since Wednesday
morning to the moment in which we
write, the holy father has had no fever
whatever. His condition, however, re-
quires the necessary care usual IN
cases of influenza"

SENATE TO AMEND
The TARIFF BILL
Changes HAY be Made Ia
Many Schedules.

The senate's attitude toward Presl-
dent Wilson and the ne w,arid Bal!
became fairly well defined alter an
other meeting of the Democratic NEIL
bers of the finance committee.
Briefly the senate comm. .ttee Will
likely>agree to accept the view OF tee
president and the house as to free
wool and one-cent sugar with the
free-in-three-years attachment to the
latter; but it will exercise its r.gnt
to amend other schedules and proVis'
ions of the tariff bill as it thinks best.
The conference with the president
brought a working agreement, under
which both the executive and the sen
ate leaders have yielded certain points.
The senate Democrats do not propose
to make any general increase IN the
rates of the tariff bill, or to make the
senate liable to the charge OF having
impeded the efforts of the president
and the house toward tariff reform.
Changes will be p.ade in many oil
the schedules, however, the work hav
ing been started with consideration
of the first schedule in the bill. Some
of the changes regarded as necessary
by the senate leaders may be carrie
over to the house and put into the bill
in the Democratic caucus.
The senate leaders reserve the ful
right to make changes after the bill
reaches the senate, when they con
slider them necessary to make tht
tariff revision more equitable and sci
! entifc.

Rudolph Warren, aged twenty-five
years, son of Jere Warren, wealthy

: Hannibal Mesa, son of the late Tirso
Mesa, admits shooting in duel in
Havana, Cuba, on Saturday morning,
died.
Mesa, who caught Ward liner from
Havana for New York Immediately af-
ter the shooting, may be arrested on
his arrival in New York, although the
police have not yet begun to act, oW-
ing to the intervention of most pow
erful influences. 1t IS declared that
four Cuban congressman witnessed
the duel as seconds.
Warren had previously had several
physical encounters with Mesa. They
were reputed to be rivals for a Wo-
mans affections. AS a result Mesa
challenged Warren, which, according
to the Cuban code, conferred the
choice of weapons on Warren.
The duel was at thirty-five PAGES.
Warren fell at the first fire. Mesa
was not harmed Warren was taken
to a hospital, where he made a state
ment to the police that he had acci-
dentally shot himself while handling
a revolver.

PEOPLE ELECT
SENATORS NOW
COnnsCticut's Action Changes
the Constitution.
AMENDMENT IS RATIFIED
Thirty-six States, Three-fourths of All
In the Union, Have Approved the
Change.


Election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people became pro
vision of the United States constitution
when the Connecticut legislature, fol
lowing up quickly the action of tn
Pennsylvania and Tennessee legisla
tures last week, ratified the amend
ment providing for the change.
Thirty-six states, the requisite
three-fourths of all in the Union, have
approved the change. 1t remains only
for the governors of the states which
have acted favorably formally to no
tify Secretary Bryan and for him tc
issue a proclamation announcing the
change.
The amendment to the constitution
is the second within the last few
months, the other being that authoriz
ing the collection of an income tax BY
the federal government.
In ratifying the amendment the Con
necticut senate voted unanimously
while the vote in the house was Isl
to II.
When told that Connecticut had rat
flied the amendment the president
said:
81 am sincerely glad that the amend
ment has been ratified so promptly
and a reform so long fought for al
last accomplished"
The new amendment is as follows:
"The senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected by the people
thereof, for six years; and each sena
tor shall have one vote. The electors
in each state shall have the qualifica
tions requisite for electors Of the most
numerous branch Of the state legisla
lures.
when vacancies happen in the rep
resentation of any state in the senate
the executive all, hority of each state
shall issue writs of election to fl
such vacancies, provided that the leg
islature of any state may empoWe
the executive thereon to make tenn
porary appointments until the people
fill the vacancies by election as the
legislature may direct"
The amendment primarily transfers
the power of electing senators from
the state legislatures to the people a
the polls. To effect this change Il
was necessary to alter the machinery
for the filing of vacancies in the
senate.
For more than sixty years proposals
have been made to change the consti
tuition in this manner 1t was moi
until June "a, 1911, that the senate
was induced to give its consent tt
the change. On that day it voted tt
submit to the states the proposed
amendment.

RICH MAN FOUND
DEAOON RAILROAD
Allentown Manufacturer Shot
Through Head:
TIE POLICE SAY SUICIDE

Members of Family Insist 1t Was Muir.
der and Note Found on Body Was a
Forgery.
August Simon, one Of the best
known residents of Allentown, Pa, a
relred silk manufacturer and rich
globe trotter, was found dead on the
Lehigh Valley railway tracks. His
body was badly mangied and there
was a bullet wound in his head.
The police say that note, found
in Simon's pocket, indicated that he
had committed suicide. They further
say that the retired manufacturer s
suicide was not only well planned, but
spectacular.
On the other hand, the members or
Simons family insist that he is the
victim of a murderer or murderers.
They say the note the police found IS
not in his handwriting, and express
the belief that one or more persons
shot him on the bridge under which
his body was found and threw the
body on the railroad. The police are in
vestigating this phase Of the case.
The police theory is that to kill
himself Simon shot himself in the
head while leaning over the railing OF
the Linden street bridge, spanning the
Lehigh Valley railroad. From the ef-
fects of this bullet he fell on the rail-
road tracks forty feet below. Later a
train ran over his body.
The note in his pockets told the
finders of his body to notify his broth
er, Charles Simon, one of the owners
of the National Silk Dyeing company,
at Paterson, N. j.; the coroner and an
undertaken. Also, that if his family did
not want to bother burying him they
should send his body to medical col
lege.
Simon's death was as tragic as his
life was dramatic. He was the son OF
a rich Frenchman, a silk manufactur-
er. He was born in Alsace-Lorraine,
fifty-seven years ago.
More than six feet tall and weighing
$50 pounds, he was combination OF
soldier of fortune and boulevardier,
with a cynical wit which made him a
terror to friends and foes alike.
In 1874, as a young French army
officer, he was assigned to the Legion
in Algiers. He used to tell tale that,
at one time, he was directed to COM
mand a small squad of soldiers which
was to escort 125 Arab prisoners
across the desert. The Arabs revolted
on the march, and, Simon said, he and
his soldiers, to save themselves, had
to shoot every one of the 125 Moslem
fanatics. He also told marvellous mar
ratives of lion hunts in the desert,
and had number of lion skins in
his house as evidences of his prowess.
About 1880, when the silk industry
in America began to prosper, he came
to this country and accumulated a
fortune in the dyeing business, being
located at different times in Paterson,
Philadelphia, Petersburg, Va, and AL
lentown. His health began to fail af-
ter a six months trip to France and
Algiers, last summer and autumn, and
he was further troubled by libel suit
brought against him by motorman,
whom he had accused of stealing some
money, which later was found on the
floor Of the car.
Simon leaves wife and several
daughters, who are among the leaders
of Allentown society.
