Holy Father Able to
Sit Up While Bed
Is Made
Curious to Read Newspaper
Reports of His Illness But
Is Prevented

Rome, April 11-This evenings edi-
ton Of the Osservatore Romano. the
Official Vatican newspaper, says;
In confirmation of the happy news
OF yesterday, in regard to the health
OF the Holy Father, we are able to
g1ve the assurances that conditions
continue entirely satisfactory"
The condition of the Pope was found
unchanged this morning when Prof.
Ettore Marchiafava and DR.. Andres
Amtc1 examined him His tenooera-
ture had increased very slightly, reg
istering nearly 80.
No fresh symptoms had developed
during the night but Prof. Marchia-
faVa again recommended absolute rest
for the Pontin and declared that ex-
0reme care was necessary.
The Pope was feeling rather strong
er today and expr ressed disappointment
at not being able to receive the pill
Cardinal Marry Del Val, the Papal
Secretary Of State, to receive the pill
grtms for him.
This afternoon, Cardinal Merry
Del Val received over 5000 pilgrims of
different nationalities, the largest
gathering ever received by any Car
dinal at the vatican. The Pontiff's
sisters visited his room, today, and
remained for several hours.
The Pope at times complains of
pains IN the small of the back which
increases when he sits up and also
when he coughs. These and other
symptoms are attributed by the ply
stcians to renal neuralgia arising
from Influenza.
Although the ameIioration in the
condition Of the Pontiff continues,
Prof. Marchiafava is inf1exibIe in his
decision not to allow his patient to
undergo any exertion. The Pope him
self declares that he feels better and
has expressed the desire to read the
newspapers saying that after what
was invented when he was i'll the first
time, he is curious to see what they
have been capable Of doing after his
relapse. Prof. Marchiafava, however,
refused to- permit him to read where

Mrs. StriCkIand's
Diamonds Disappear
Rather Strangely

The loss Of two diamond rings on
Tuesday, April 8, valued by their own
er, Mrs. Kate E. Strickland, 26s Court
land street, the widow OF Erwin
Strickland, at an amount in excess of
s., 600, has been the occasion of much
mystery In police circles.
Tt was learned that Mrs Strickland
while upon a visiting tour with her
maid first had her attention called to
her loss. She could not at that time
remember where the two rings had
been left, although she supposed that
they had either been left upon her
bath room wash stand or at one Of
the homes she had called at. Search
made throughout the house failed to
reveal the jewels. The matter was re-
ported to the police who zealously
guarded the secret. Detectives were
assigned and are believed to have
prosecuted the search even TO New
Britain. No arrests have been made

there is no liquor sold, and after the

do not believe it will do any harm,

There has been much opposition
from the Pastors association and

the matter has been brought before

The table also shows the COST of
producing and distributing the gas,
and showed that cost in Massachu-
setts cities to range in the neighbor-
hood of fifty cents per thousand.
The table, which is herewith given,
estimates the cost in Bridgeport at
not more than 81 cents per thousand.
Said Representative McMurray:
These figures show that Connecticut
is leaving gas users to the mercy of
gas monopoIies. The state is not pro-
tecting them. In Bridgeport we have
to pay 81 per thousand cubic feet for
gas. In New Haven they pay but 95
cents, in Hartford, 90 cents in Bos-
ton, Fall River and New Bedford but
80 cents, and in Lawrence, Charles
town, Springfield and New Bedford,
S5 cents, while the price in Lowell is
but rs cents
All the cities referred to, other
than the cities in Connecticut, are in
Massachusetts.
Rep. McfAurrayf also showed that
out of every dollar it received for
gas, last year, the Bridgeport Gas
Light company received a profit Of
43 cents, which gave it a total profit
for the year of S215,OOO. This was
characterized as an enormous over
charge.
Rep. McMurray asked the commit
tee to reduce the price of gas in
Bridgeport to 80 cents and said that
his colleague, Rep. Wilson, would ap-
pear later, to make the same request.

John L. Rowe of Bridgeport, one Of

Especial to The Farmer.)
Hartford, April lit was gas day
before the committee on judiciary,
yesterday. The exponents of various
bills for a general state rate for ilIun-
mating gas were heard, and powerful
arguments were adduced why a rate
should be fixed not higher than eighty
cents for cities of $4,000 inhabitants
and more. The gas interests made
no effort to combat the evidence that
Connecticut consumers are being
overcharged, but contented them
selves with claiming that the matter
ought to be left to the determination
of the Public Utilities Commission.
One of the strongest arguments be-
by Rep. John H. NoMurray of
Bridgeport, in favor of his bill fixing
gas rates at not more than 80 cents
per thousand cubic feet in cities of
10000 and more.
Using a table compiled by himself
and his colleague, Rep. Lynn w. VIII
son, Mr.. McMurray showed that gas
consumers in Hartford, Brtdgeport,
New Haven and Waterbury are being
much overcharged.
He urged the Massachusetts figures
to show that the price of gas in that
state ranged from rs cents to 85
cents per thousand in cities compare
BILE with Bridgeport.
He showed that the price in Bridge
port is 81 per thousand.
