ton Of the president in arranging to
meet the finance committee at a point
more convenient to the senators.
Many changes in the Underwood
measure, advocated by democratic SEN

dent for further consideration at the
meeting. These include not only the
question Of splitting the tariff into
separate bills. but also the change OF
many duties, where the senate demo
Gratis believe scientific tariff-makng
principles have not been followed. In
cases where raw materials have been
subjected to tariff and manufactured
products put on the free list, such
as wheat and flour, the president win
be urged to recommend changes that
will balance the duties

presidents room at the capitol at
8 o'clock this afternoon to talk loJn;

Three thousand pilgrims gathered
in the course Of the morning on the
Piazza di San Pietre in front Of the
Vatican under the open window of
the pope's apartment and prayed Tor
his recovery.
A thunder storm, accompanied by
a heavy hail, disturbed the pope this
morning. His nervous system has
become sensitive since the beginning
of his illness.
Professor Marchiafava assured the
Associated Press this morning that
His Holiness is suffering @only from
a relapse of influenza, which, like all
relapses, is causing a certain amount
Of anxiety owing to the exalted po-
sition of the patient and his great
age"
The reports as to the pope being
acutely afflicted with nephritis, or
inflammation of the kidneys, are, said
the professor, absolutely unfounded.
What the pontiff needs above all
is rest" continued the physician,
and the "a hours he aas spent in
bed completely isolated from affairs
has already produced a salutary ef-
feet All the symptoms Of a danger
Gus character which nave been men
toned in unauthorized reports are
either imaginary or grossly exagger-
ated The present condition of the
pontiff excludes any danger unless
complications should intervene"
Pope Plus dozed for a short time
this afternoon. When he was awake
he appeared to feel too weak to take
much notice of those around him. He
smiled, however, when he was visit
ed by his sisters and his niece, who
sat quietly in the room for some
time without disturbing him.
The temperature Of the pope rose
slightly at o'clock this afternoon,
reaching 80 degrees.
While official reports state that
the amelioration in the condition OF
the pope continues, it is reported IN
other quarters that the pontiff is sur
fering from difficulty with respira-
tion. thirst and prosuation.
Everything is being prepared at
the Vatican to give the pope long
period of rest. All pllgrimages have
been suspended curing this month
and the American pilgrimage, which
left New York on April s. under the
direction of the Rev. Joseph
Schreimbs, bishop Of Toledo, viii not
be received by His Holiness.
Several cardinals, including Ram
polla, Wives y Tutto, de la l. Mar
tinelli, Falconio, Bisleti and Agliardi,
called personally at the Vatican this
morning to inquire about the pope's
health. They were not allowed to
see the pope. The callers were in
formed by Cardinal Merry del Val
that an improvement had taken place
in the pope's condition and that there
was no real cause for alarm

garrison victorious possessors of
Naco, Sonora. However, intermittent
firing continued during the night, at
times becoming brisk At s O'Clock
the machine gun fire was resumed
from both sides, but the attackers re-
NAMED at distance. Arrangements
were made today to bring the wound
ed here. The suffering is great,
the wounded men lying in the field
without even unsldlled attention.
Colonel Guilfoyle, commanding the
Ninth cavalry, sent a courier to Cen
eral Obregon's camp requesting that
more care be taken in the attack
lest more be injured on the Arizona
side.
The American colonel had per
sonal experience, aside from having
three troopers wounded yesterday,

of the hardest fighting yesterday
Seven Mexicans arrested by the
Ninth United states cavalry patrol

Oran, Nov. 11.-Oran was terroriZ-
ed by four young men, all believed to
have been from Fairbank, near here,
who put on a wild west stunt that

garage, where they locked him up.
Pedestrians were stopped ON the
streets and forced to turn over their
valuables. The young men helped
themselves to merchandise In Oran

nected with the affair, and it is under

Finger Print in SwindIe.

Waterloo, Nov. 11.-Theories of the
unfailing efficiency of the finger print
method of Identification. promulgated
by Mark Twain and Bertillion, are
discouraged considerably by one local
bank. When John Arogoley deposit
ed his savings in a local bank few
weeks ago he was asked if he could
write. He replied he could not. The
0fflcials then pondered as to the best
method to adopt whereby Arogoley
might be identified when desiring to
withdraw his. savings. They hit up
on the plan of finger marks. Arroyo
ley was asked to furnish an imprint
of his thumb. He did so and was
given bank book in which was re-
corded that Arogoley had deposited
Sl36. A few days ago he returned
to the bank and desiring to withdraw
his savings. He was informed that
he had withdrawn the full amount a
few days before. Arogoley protest
ed. The bank clerk then produced
the finger mark required at the time
the money was withdrawn. A com.
parlson of the finger mark with the
one made by Arogoley at the time it
was found they were so nearly alike
that the naked eye could not detect
difference. Arogoley then hasten
ed to the police station and declared
someone had stolen his bank book
and withdrawn his savings. An in
vestigation by the police officials was
made and 1t was found that the fin
ger marks were not alike.

Build Good BRIDES At First.

Iowa Falls will get cement-con.
crete bridge some 300 feet in length,
across Rock Run. The cost will be
less than $1,000. Of course, a cheap
er structure could have been erected
and made to answer for the present.
And in a few years that cheaper
structure would have required re-
pairs, and again in a few years it
would have become necessary to re-
place it with another cheap struc-
ture. And by the time that had been
repaired and worn out, the cost would
have been greater than that of two
concrete bridges, and third so-called
cheap bridge would have been neces-
sary.

zEL|E EMERSON
NEAR To DEATH
American Girl FeIled in England
49,. by Policeman in Riot.
DOCTORS SEE LITTLE HOPE
Militant Prays for End-Telis Nurse
THAT II Would Be Fine for the
-. Cause-it Would Wake UP
Whole World"

London, Nov. 11.-Miss Zelie Emer-
leader, formerly of Chicago, is be-
lieved to be dying from conclusion of
the brain, the result of a blow from
London policeman's club.
Five days ago Miss Emerson led
an assailing band of women against a
battalion of police at the Old Bow
church who were trying to arrest
Sylvia Pankhurst. The charge was
successful Miss Pankhurst was Ia
ken by force from her captors and
spirited away to place Of safety.
Reinforcements u the police dis
persed the throng Of rescuers only
with the greatest difficulty. And
when the ground was cleared Miss
Emerson was found unconscious.
Condition Is Critical.
She Is now under the care of q
member of the home medical staff.
For five days the real extent of her
injuries was kept from the public.
But when the attending physicians
realized that her condition was crit
ical the following bulletin was issued:
The most serious of Miss Emer-
sons injuries is conclusion Of the
brain. Everything is being done that
medical and surgical science can do.
The condition of the patient, however,
Is discouraging, and it must be con-
fessed that the prognosis Is unfayor-
able"
The authorities have refused to
make any public statement beyond
the bulletin as quoted here. But it
was stated by one of the nurses that
Miss Emerson herself seems eager to
die, and that she will not make the
life fight" upon which physicians say
her only hope for a recovery must
depend.
Is Her Third Clash.
This is the third time that the
American heiress has attempted to
promote the cause of the English mill
tauts by giving that record Of NOR
tai martyrdom.
Miss Emerson when she recovered
consciousness asked eagerly about her
condition.
IF could die" she said, 1T would
be fine for the cause-to die from the
blow of a club-it would wake up the
whole world"
For long time Miss Emerson has
been first lieutenant to Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst in the struggle for the bal
lot. Her position has been one of ut
most difficulty because the police of
London have orders to arrest Miss
Pankhurst ION sight" and the latter,
therefore, is obliged to go about
everywhere in disguise. This means
that Miss Emerson has had to preside
at all the Pankhurst meetings.
Miss Zelie Passavant Emerson is q
Chicago girl twenty-four years old.
She is wealthy and a granddaughter
of the founder of the Passavant hos
pital.
Fashionable smusements did not in
terest her, however She studied So
cial questions at first hand. She
worked as scrub woman in an office
building, although her income was
$4,000 year. Lately she has de-
voted her life absolutely to the mill
tant suffrage cause.
