PASSES THROUGH CRISIS.


ROME, April 15.-Pope Plus X has
apparently passed successfully thro, /
another relapse although 1t will be
several days before it can be said that
danger no longer exists.
Doctors Machiafava and Amici is
sued a reassuring bulletin at 10:30 a.
m. today, saying the pontiff's fever
had fallen to 9S.1 and that there had
been general improvement. The dan
ger from pneumonia was believed to
be over and there was a lessening of
the bronchial symptoms.
However, while this optimistic bull
letin caused great rejoicing in the. vat
lean and throughout the Roman Cath
Ollie world, it was pointed out that the
weakened condition of the pontiff
made him susceptible to slight chan
ges and backset might set in despite
the strenuous exertions of the doctors.
The 1890 bulletin signed by Drs.
Marchiafava and Amici follow:
Again Without Fever.
Pope Plus x is again without fever.
His temperature at this hour is 98.1.
His cough is diminishing and expecto-
ration is easy and copious. His gen.
eral condition is satisfactory"
DIR. Marchiafava admitted that sew
eral days must elapse before the crisis
shall have passed and that anything
might happen in the meanwhile.
While the pope has made satisfac-
tory progress in one direction he
seems to have failed in another. One
of his kidneys has become so affected
that it is useless.
| DR.. Amici remained in an ante-room
adjoining that of the sickroom all
night The pope secured fairly good
nights rest although his sleep was
broken at times by fits of coughing.
! The weather is still unusually cold, a
factor which is initiating against the
pope's recovery. The pontiff objects
tot artificial heat and complained be
cause it was used in his chamber. The
pontiff is showing unexpected strength
In spite of his infirmities and the
small amount of nourishment he has
taken his strength as usualbaamhah
taken. The pontiff is said not to be dis.
playing the same keenness as during
the early days of his illness. However
he moves quickly considering his con.
dition.
Answered The Request.
Some of the cardinals of the Curia
answered the request of the doctor
and sent petitions to his holiness ask.
ing him to obey his doctors so that his
recovery would not be retarded
Great interest was expressed today
in the vision which the pontiff had
yesterday. He has always been a man
of intense imagination and a dream
er. The Pope seemed. he said, to be
back in his beloved Venice; he was in
his patriarchial gondola upon the
Grand Canal. Everything was blazing
with sunlight when suddenly above
the spire of St. Marks cathedral, the
sky opened and he saw vision of his
dead Rosa Sarto. She descended to his
side, took his arm and spoke, saying:
THE moment has not vet come for
you TO join me. Your work is not yet
finished"

Plus X is steadily losing weight from
his illness and has become so ENACT

INGENIOUS WOMAN.
Broke Into" White House Reception
Many Times Under False Colors.

Washington, Jan. 23.-When Secretary
Charles d. Hilles opened the White
House mail. today, he gasped with aston
ishment on reading a frank and free con-
fession from a Washington woman. that
she had "'broken into" the White House
receptions for years, under false colors.
Mr.. Hilles would not disclose the identity
of the writer, whose ingenuity, he ac-
knowledged commanded his admiration.
The letter read:
II have been attending the White
House receptions for years but l am tired
of using someone else's ticket win you
please send me one for the next reception
in my own name?"
The cards admitting guests to the
White House on the occasion of the four
big affairs of the winter are much sought
after and especially so this season since
President-elect Wilson had intimated that
the receptions would be abandoned during
his administration. Every description OF
subterfuge is resorted to in order to OBJ
tain tickets, which, since the top-heavy
lists were cut down. have been scarcer
than ever before. Today's. appeal, how
ever, was the most unique that has yet
happeneded under Secretary Hilles no.

to whether ii would be successful

Allisaer of Portland.
Mr., Wilson had not figured in de-
tail as had Mr.. LOWELL but he made
ont his profit net at IS cents instead of
II cents q ton.
Previous to 1912 he had always pur-
chased his coal through Randall and Nc
Allister. File paid them 10 cents ton
commission
Senator Maxwell CLEANED by questioning
Mr. Wilson that considerable pea coal
was obtained by him from screening his
coal. For this there was sale.
Mark w. Sewall of Bath stated his sales
were about 5000 or 5000 tons, per year. He
had been in the trade "a years. His re-
tail price from April to Augusta 1925 and
$3.50 a ton, and later then August l $3.50
and $7.75.
In 1911 his prices ranged 25 cents less
per ton
Since Jan 1, 1918, Mr.. Sewall had OBJ
tanned price on coal. This price was IS =
tone from an outsider. Not from the
companies He now had 1900 or 1900 tons
of coal enough to last until March L.
Retail prices in Bath were based on those
of Boston to large extent Barge
freights to Bath from Philadelphia and
New York to Boston and Bath were the
same.
He was not a member of the State Coal
Dealers Association.
He thought the cost of handling coal
was from s1.25 to $3.50 ton. He said
one cargo this year averaged Is per cent
screenings, which in Bath are worth
around $3.50 ton, which just covered
cost of handling.
II. H. Howard of Bath explained the
difference in prices in different localities
of Bath. Coal sent to north end cost 25
cents extrac. and that to south end SO
Oakley Curtis of Portland. president of
the coal company, bought the coal which
lie sold and delivered. He had sold coal
to Brunswick, Lewiston, Wilton and Lew
iston at wholesale. He got from $50 to
S. 50 for what he shipped
The attorney general thought this was
wholesaling in Bath and retailing outside,
which caused a smile
Mr.. Howard was asked if any other
Portland coal dealers We're connected
with his company, whereupon Mr.. Curtis
objected and the attorney general said
that he was inquiring of Mr. Howard
and later would deal with Mr. Curtis.
