EXTRA SESSION
Talk is Rife But No One
Knows the Date Of
the Same.

CHARLESTON, April l2.-senator
M 2, White, former Senator Sol H.
White, and formed Delegate DR..
George Epling of the Norfolk and
Western district, have been here sew
eral days comforting with Governor
Hatfield, but their specific mission has
not been learned.
Special session. talk can be heard
on all sides. but no one will venture
to fix the date or what the governor
viii ask the legislators to consider.
The governor himself has been very
reticent about the subject. His re-
marks that a special session would be
called, made when he became COVER
nor, still stand as then uttered, and
the belief is that the expression then
made will be carried out. The opin-
ion most generally expressed is that
it will be held before the heat of sum
mer, which would mean some time in
May. But this the governor has not
yet shown willingness, to discuss,
and probably will not be until he is
ready to announce the time for the
special session.

SUDDEN RELAPSE
OCCURS TO POPE
Now Has Bronchitis and the
Vatican is Greatly
Alarmed.
tuY Asuoe,ArrD rHssr,

ROME, April 1.-THE Pope has
suffered another relapse. Bronchitis
has developed.
The Pope's fever at 6:1O p m. had
reached 1903. His condition is regard
ed as grave especially on account Of
his weak state. 1t is feared he will
be unable to overcome the new attack.
The relapse is not yet generally
known even among the Vatican Off
cials. Only the sisters and a niece of
the Pope were notified. They drove
hurriedly to the Vatican. The women,
hurridely to the Vatican. The women,
who had believed him entirely out of
danger, were deeply impressed and
gave way to their feelings. They then
resumed their nursing of the patient,
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary of state, declared this after
noon that the appearance of the Pope
was unsatisfactory He thought that
he looked more haggard and was
weaker while he had difficulty in
breathing. The hope is entertained
by the physicians that the bronchitis
is due to uremic acid settling in the
upper part of the tracheal tubes in
stead of to Infectious Inflammation.
His physician this morning predicted
relapse when he heard that con
trary TO his instructions the Pope had
been allowed to grant private audi
ences. One of them said If you want
TO kill him this is the way to do it,
A group Of people gathered on the
steps Of st. Peters church gazing on
the windows OF the Pope's apartments,
noticed late this afternoon that the
blinds of his bedroom were closed

HATFIELD'S SUIT
AGAINST WALKER
And Summers WILDE Up for
Trial in July and Com
promise is Refused.
sseselal 10 rag rrlrsnAl.,

CHARLESTON, April l2.-The suits
of Henry Drury Hatfield against
Stuart W. Walker, chairman Of the
Democratic state committee, and
George sumemrs, newspaper cores
pondent, for libel, viii come up in the
court of Wood county during the July
term. This was the statement made
by Attorney Robert Gregory of Park
efshurg while here several days this
week.
These suits are the result of the
publication! Of articles rejecting on
the character of DR.. Hatfield while a
candidate for governor and on the
eve of the election. The article was
first published in the Cincinnati En-
quirer and in supplements by a Park
ersburg paper and sent in all the
Democratic newspapers of the state.
1T is charged that the article was
prepared by George Summers at the
instance OF Chairman Walker of the
Democratic State committee, and was
fathered by him before it was first
published, and that its first publica-
ton was only secured after Walker
had given his word that every declara-
ton contained in the article was the
truth and could be sustained.
AS soon as the article was pub
hshed in the Cincinnati Enquirer and
learning that supplements we're being
printed for all Democratic newspap-
ers in the state, DR.. Hatfield sent teIe-
grams to all the newspapers that
the article was libelous and that If 1t
was published suit would be instituted
against such publisher only few
newspapers published the article,
and suit has been flied against them.
They are the Huntington Advertiser,
Raleigh Register and one or two other
newspapers. The trial of these suits
will come up after the one against
Chairman Walker has been tried.
1t is alleged that the article caused
many thousand votes to be cast
against DR.. Hatfield in his candidacy
for governor. 1t is reported that the
prosecution VIII have several hun
bred witnesses,
1t is also reported that the defense
has sought to compromise the case,
but that the attorneys for the COVER
nor have declared the only compro-
mise they would accept would be a
confession to the amount of dam
ages, $4,000.

CAUCUS PL EDGES NOT TO
BE KEPT By DEMOCRATS
From Nearly Twenty States
If Free Wool Advocates
Outvote Them.
FIGHT ON THE FLOOR
Row among the Democratic
Members is Growing
More Bitter Daily.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 12-
House Democrats today began their
real fight over the sugar tarr
schedule, Opponents Of the admin
istration rates as proposed in the
Underwood bill took vigorous
stand against free sugar in three
years.
Members of the Louisiana delega-
tion aided by Representatives from
Michigan and other states assaiIed
the duties approved by the ways ana
means committee and President wiz
son as ruinous to the sugar Industry.
Chairman Underwood began the ar
gument in defense of the schedule.
Some Amendments.
Amendments proposed by Repre-
sentative Broussard we're opposed by,
the free sugar champions led ny
Representative Hardwick. of Georgia,
who offered an amendment that raw
sugar be placed on the free list at
once without gradual reduction. Ar
gument was that it was discrimina-
lion in favor of segregated industries
in Louisiana and the beet sugar
states.
Another amendment proposed was
to extend the period of grace to tree
sugar to four yearssthus throwing :,
beyond the next national campaign
when the question could again 6r
publicly discussed.
To Bolt Caucus.
Anti-free wool Democrats from
nearly twenty states determined if
outyoted in the caucus to exempt
themselves from the binding caucus
pledge and to fight against free wool
on the floor of the House.
They decided when the wool
schedule is reported to introduce an
amendment to place a duty of fifteen
per cent on raw wool. This they
insist was the original intention OF
the ways and means committee VINO
latter yielded to President Will
sons desire when they decided to
put wool on the free list. A pro-
posaI to have special committee
appointed to confer with the presi-
dent and the ways and means com
mittee in an effort to bring about a
compromise was voted down,
'ilf we can't get votes enough IN
the caucus" said Representative
Adair, OF Indiana, I'VE Will fight on
the floor hoping for enough Repub-
lican support against free wool t.

Free Sugar. Wins.
BY an overwhelming majority the
House Democratic caucus this after
noon voted down the amendment to
the sugar schedule providing for the
elimination Of the provision for free
sugar in three years and substituting
an immediate ten per cent reduction
and followed by a gradual reduction
for six years, The vote against it was
Sc to 10.
