ed tranquil night, according to a
~ shstin issued at the Vatican today,
y, general condition Is consider
II. Today there is no trace Of
- Sfftai ri & and Professor Marchia-
fava said that the kidney trouble Is
entirely gone. Despite the coughing
the heart action is no weaker and
the physicians are today holding con-
cern in the lungs.
The doctors had their first pro-
fessional difference today and It is
said they quarrelled violently. DR..
Amici wanted to publish the pontiff' S
health, temperature and respiration.
Marchiafava refused to allow it. Be
ing the senior physician he carried
his point.
1t Is said the real crisis will come
within the next twenty-four hours
and it is largely a question of wheth-
er the Pope will be able to fight 1t
through. Heart stimulants, includ-
ing digitalis, are being steadily ad-
ministered.
MY dear DOCTOR the Pope is re-
ported as having said to Dr. Marchia-
sava, "one thing your cleverness can
not remove is my seventy-eight
years. Then to one Of his sisters
who wept dolefully, Don't cry so
much; it is true that am i'll, but let
us hope in God"
The Pope's bronchitis was greatly
improved. Nephritis has almost en-
tirely disappeared and his heart
action is no worse. The pontiffs ar
tries have hardened, however, and
the physicians are greatly concerned
over the fresh symptoms. Though
the Papal physicians made hopeful
statements concerning the Pope's S
condition, activities at the Vatican
today indicated that the church Off
cials regard the situation as very
grave.
BY order of Cardinal Merry del
Val, papal secretary, the Swiss
guards searched the Vatican and ex-
PEELED everyone who could not show
he had business there. Father Vivezi
Tuto, the monk who was with the
Pope forty-ive minutes last night,
supposedly taking his confession,
was kept within call all day and a
motor car was kept in constant read
mess to bring Cardinal Vauntelli,
who Is the penitentiary major and
must administer the last sacraments
and give absolution. Father Tuto is
O. brother of the Cardinal of that
name and has been Pope Pius's con-
fessor for many months.
After visiting the sick room today
his sisters, Maria and Anna Sarto,
hurried to their home, square dis
tant, and set to work to complete
the lace shroud for the Pont1ff which
they are making with their own
hands. The Sarto women are all ex-
per lace makers, and ever since his
illness took a serious turn they have
been busy making funeral vestments
for him in the time they were not at
the Vatican. The Pope has not been
told of their labors and they were
led to believe by the improvement in
his condition last week that the robe
would not be needed for many years
after it's completion. Today when
they left the sick room Maria asked
Monsignor Misciatelli, head sub
priest of the Vatican, If in the event
of death they could provide the
Pope's body with their own hand
made surplus for the funeral vest
ments He gave the desired permis-
sion. Looking more depressed than
usual and trying vainly to suppress
their tears they hurried home to
complete their task.
