BEGUN BY M 'ADO0
Secretary Is Determined to Have
New Blood in Treasury
Department.

Washington, April 9.--Reorganiza
tion OF the personnel OF the customs
service by the Democratic administra-
ton was begun to-day. when Secretary
McAdoo, OF the Treasury Department,
took steps TO displace all the high GUS
toms officials at the Port OF Philadel-
phia. In announcing the action the
Secretary said: 1T Is considered vital
in the interest OF the public that new
blood shall be brought into the SER
vice"
Mr.. McAdoo asked for the resiena-
tions Of Collector Chester w. Hill Sur
veyor Perry NJ. Lytle. Appraiser Fred
p. Vincent and Naval officer Walter T..
Merrick, all OF Philadelphia. He Of
hcially announced that the reslgna-
tions were requested. mot because OF
charges have been preferred again nst
them. but because it ia deemed essen
tial that these places shall be filled by
persons who are in sympathy with
the purpose and policies of the admin
istration. and also because il is con-
sidercd vital in the interest of tho pub
lie that new blood shall be brought
into the service"
Treasury officials contented them
selves with that brief statement, which
was the first indication that Il sweep-
ing reorganization of the customs SER
vice was about to begin. Officials were
reticent as to possible future moves
in this direction, but IL Is known that
the Secretary has his eyes on the Bos-
geton office. where an alleged customs
scandal Is being unearthed. Close et-
tention is being given to the gen
erai question of reorganization in
connection with the radical redistrict-
ing of the service on July l.

Washington. April 9.-While Presi-
dent Wilson let it be known to-day.
after a conference with Representative
Raker. that the Federal government
would not interfere with the action
of the California Legislature in the
pending alien land law there, aimed
principally at Japanese. it is under
stood in official circles that neither
President Wilson nor Secretary BRYAN
VIII desist using good offices in per-
sonal way to avert what the Japanese
government might construe as an af-
front.
The President let il be known to-
day that it was not his purpose TO at
tempt interference with the sovereignty
OF n State. but that, OF course any State
legislation affecting treaty rights was
subject to review by the Supreme
Court. Diplomatists pointed out to-day
treaty obligations. is pending between
Japan and the United States-that of
the fur seal conventions
Former President Taft, just before
leaving office, urged Congress to pass
certain laws, that the United States
might not be "remiss in observing
treaty obligations"

sentations on what it claims TO be
nonfulfillment of the fur seal treaty.
1t is suggested now that any charge
OF breach of treaty obligations with
Japan and Great Britain on the Call

tions might become a factor in the
pending negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain over
the exemption of American coastwise
ships from canal tolls which Great
Britain also contends to be a breach of
treaty obligation.

[By Associated Press

Rome. April 9.-AIl officinI report.
regarding the condition of Pope Piux
y. agree that his condition is not
grave. and that there is no immediate
danger. Anxiety. however, continues
on account of the wcnkness of the
Pontin. and the action of his heart,
which is in need OF constant stimuIa-
ticn.
The attending physicians found that
the condition of the Pope had improved
during the night, nd this Improvement
Was maintained throughout the day,
although the afternoon temperature
showed a slight increase Again this
evening his temperature rose slightly.
but the difference from that of tho
afternoon was ha -dly perce?tib c.
The patients weakness is being treat
ed By the regular administration or
eggs beaten in milk. but the lack OF
nourishment contributes to the d.pres-
sion from which tho Pope suffers.
Following Same Course.
The relapse is following the same
course as the original attask Of in
nuenza. cough being present. with
irritation of the bronchial tubes ana
difficulty in respiration. which has led
TO the report in some cases that the
Pope IS afflicted with asthma. This,
however. is erroneous. The condition
OF albuminuria, which usually accom-
panies influenza. also is present, in
dicatng an inflammation of the kid
ncys of greater or lesser degree
This may be of a transitory char
acter
Professor Marchiafava visited the
Pope only twice to-day. morning and
evening, and expressed satisfaction at
the course the illness is taking. The
Fope's sister ana niece spent rnucn
time at the bedside. and when not
there. were kept constantly informed
by telephone as TO the progress of
events
The Pope has expressed terror at
what the newspapers are capable OF
inventinE about his relapse. He is
being watched in turn by his valet and
his secretaries. Mgrs Bressan and
Pescini. and the Chemist Monk Pros
dosimo also is IN close attendance
When, during the afternoon, he felt
the effect of thunderstorm of extra
ordinary violence. the Pope remarked
that his organism was 90 sensitive to
changes that he had come
to be kind of barometer and ther-
1t was reported that Cardinal Kat
Archbishop Of SalzburE. had
postponed his departure. as he wished
to be in Rome in case of eventoalities.
but this proved not to be true, as he
left here to-day for his home. and this
is considered another evidence that
the Pontiff has really improved or at
least that the danger is not imminent.

Bashara raised the rifle and fired.

came out at the back near the right
shoulder blade, passing on some 30 or
40 feet and striking Jess Hubbard in
the left shoulder, penetrating the coat
and inflscting a slight wound in the
flash. After the shot. Selby turned to-
