C!:ecks Of the Fort Hunt Post En-
change made out in regular form and
bearing the signature Of Sidney Il.
Guthrie, first lieutenant of the Coast

a number Of Alexandria merchants
out Of several hundred dollars last

The "hccks were cashed by the
Ale%anG4 -. merchants for Corporal
Cameron on last Saturday night. He
was well known here ana had no diff

he has been located At Fort Hunt he
has purchased thousands of dollars
Of merchandise from local firms. Ten

ing in amounts ranging from SIS to
$25. Saloon keepers were the princi-
pal victims.
On Monday news reached AleXan-
Gri;, that Corporal Cameron was not
at Fort Hunt and on yesterday the
checks which had been cashed for
him on the previous Saturday were re-
turrad by tie Washington bank with
notice that payment had been stopped
by the Fort Hunt authorities as it was
claimed that the checks were forge--
les.
Lieuten1n; Guthrie confirmed by
telephone this morning the story so
far as he was concerned and stated
that he had stopped the cheeks because
his name had been fraudently used.
He also admitted that one Of the nom
commissioned officers connected with
the post exchange was missing since
Saturday when he had taken French
leave, carrying with him $50 belong .
ing to the exchange and ten blank

APOSTOLIC BLESSING.
Attaches at Vatican Enter Pletate's
Room and Fall Upon Their Knees
al His Bedside.

Rome, April l6. p. m-Dr. Andrea
Kmici, hastily summoned from lunch
this afternoon, found Pope Plus SUI
fering from highly increased fever
! His condition is regarded as very crit
ica.
Rome, April 1G--Pope Plus X, con.
WINGED, despite his cheerful optimism
that his death is inevitable, insisted
this afternoon on saying goodbye t1
adj his personal attendants, most OF
whom served him when, as arch
bishop, patriarch, and later cardinal,
he lived in Venice, and whom he
brought to the Vatican when he was
elevated to the pontifcate.
Realizing that his end could not be
far off, the papal physicians consented,
but limited the number of servants
to be admitted, singly, to the sick
chamber, and the length of each visit.
Solemnly cooks, grooms, gardeners
and other attaches of the Vatican, en-
tered the Pope's room, falling on their
knees at the foot of his bed.
The Pope spoke to all of them in
the Venetian tongue first thanking
them for their long service and then
giving them the apostolic blessing.
Every servitor cried as if his heart
would break, and before the, audience
had gone far, the Holy Father was
crying, 100.
Throughout the night an anxious
crowd kept careful watch on the Vat
lean, for Notwithstanding the assur-
ances of Professor Ettore Marchiafava
there was doubt that the satisfactory
general condition" Of the Pontiff is
borne out by the facts.
In the early night the Pope's condi-
ton first became really alarming. His
temperature rose to almost 103 and
remained there for hours. His pulse
was very weak and he breathed with
greatest difficulty. The bronchitis
condition returned, noticcably more
acute than before, and His Holiness
was unable to cough satisfactorily.
Sounds in the bronchial tubes indica-
ted the spread Of the infection to his
lungs and the physicians contem-
plated giving him an emetic in order
to clear the windpipe.
The Italian government, between
which and he Holy See an impossible
gulf is additionally supposed to exist,
this afternoon uniquely expressed the
Quirinal's sympathy for the possibly
dying Pope by sending aloft a mill
tary dirigible balloon, which for Il
considerable time sailed back and
forth over the Vatican, that the Pom
tiff, looking out Of his window, might
see its evolutions. Before his sick
ness, the Holy Fathers favorite pas
time was watching the flights OF dirig-
ibles and aeroplanes.

Victory Yesterday by a Ma
jority Of 68 Out Of 1914
Votes Cast.
N O SPEECHES MADE.
Elections, it is Said, Will be Called in
Lynchburg and Roanoke in Order
to Press Advantage.

Danville, Va, April 16.-Comine
like clap of thunder out of cleal
sky, to the advocates OF the "wet'
cause Danville voted Cry" yesterda!
by majority Of 6S out of a tota
vote cast of 1874
The result came after one of the
most unique campaigns ever conduct
ed in THE State of Virginia in loca
option election. Not a speech wa:
made in behalf Of either side, anc
no publication Of any kind issued, ex'
cept yesterday morning when the
"wet" forces published a statement
in the morning paper.
The "wets" confidently expected
victory, while from all reports, the
"drys" although fighting gamely to
the finish, expected TO lose out by
n small margin.
The result, therefore, was COM
plete surprise. In the four wards en-
titled to vote on the question, the
result stood, vets, 623, drys, 691.
Ever since the election was called,
over month ago, both sides have
been busy mastering their forces for
the final test, and every effort had
been made to see that each qualified
voter should be present and cast his
ballot, Early yesterday morning the
opposing forces We're on the scene,
and vehicles of all kinds were busy
during the entire day bringing out the
vote
Both sides Expressed confidence
during The day, and it was not until
after the polls had closed that hope
was abandoned by the losing side.
The First Ward, which had been
counted on by the "wets'' even to
break even or give "wet" major
ity, was the first to be heard from
and went "dry" by 81 majority.
Shortly afterwards, the Fourth
Ward reported. This ward has al
ways been "dry," but was not ex-
pected to go over fifty. When III was
known that it had given the white
ribboners lead of eighty, the know
ing politicians were convinced that
the "drys" had won. In a few min
utes the returns from the Third
Ward, showing a "wet" majority OF
only ten, confirmed the opinion. The
Third had been counted upon by the
"wets" for alt least twenty-five and
probably more.
With only one ward to hear from and
a "dry" lead of more than 100, it was
realized that the "wets" had han
dicap that was impossible to over
come.
The Second Ward, the last to re-
port. and ward considered to be
the stronghold of the "wet" forces
finally returned wet" majority OF
% and the "drys" began Their cele-
bration.
The "wet" leaders stated that no
contest will be made and that the re-
suit would remain unquestioned
It was made known here last night
that the result would mean that the
"dry" forces would at once call cleo
tons in Lynchburg and Roanoke hop
ing to press home their advantage
The election here was practicaisS
without incident. The opposing LOT
ces were quiet and no difficulty o.
any kind arose.
Many challenges were entered ou'
for the main they were expected. II
ahe First Ward question as TO reg
istraton arose and was decided II
favor of the "drys." BY this decl
sion the "wet" forces lost probably
fifteen to twenty votes.
