PASTORS IN FEAR
 OF SUNDAY MOVIES
Mayor Wilson Assures Clergy There's No Occasion for
 Alarm

That the fears of the Bridgeport Pastors association that because the moving picture theatres of the city were allowed to give performances last Sunday evening for the benefit of the relief fund for the flood euf- Serers of the west they will be allow ed to continue to do business Sun day evenings Is unfounded 1s the sub stance of an interview given today by Mayor c. B. Wilson at the city hall Mayor Wilson had received a communication from the association regarding this matter
 Mayor Wilson said: ''The fears of <he Bridgeport Pastors association that the moving picture theatres will be allowed to do business Sunday ev- euiugs is unfounded- They were per- mftted to remain open last Sunday evening because the proceeds of the performances were to be devoted to the funds for the relief of the flood sufferers of the west and as I be- ueved the object was a worthy one I permitted them to remain open. It was only for this worthy object they were allowed to do business and for the future they will not be allowed to give performances"
 The performances given at the diff ferent moving picture theatres last Sunday evening amounted to a con siderable sum, and will aid greatly in relieving the distress among those who suffered from the disastrous floods in the west.

 POPE PLUS X
Condition of Pontift Much Improved
 Bur Serious
Weakness of Heart and Inter- mittent Pulse Cause Anxiety
 Takes Little NOuriShment

Rome, April 10-The official vatl- can newspaper, the Oseervatore Ro- mano, today, published the following report on the Pope's condition.
 Contrary to what has been assert ed by newspapers since yesterday Wednesday, morning, until the mo ment in which we write, the Holy Father has had no fever whatever. His condition, however, requires the necessary care usual in cases of in fIuenza."
 At noon, today, the condition of the Pope was much better but the weak ness of his heart and his intermtt- tent pulse were still causing anxiety.
 The doctors permitted him to con sume an egg with broth instead of milk but the patient was able to take 1t only with difficulty
 The Pope rested better, this after noon, than he had done since the be- ginning of the relapse. His repose was almost uninterrupted by cough ing and his catarrh was 1ooser.
 The condition of Pope Plus x was said to be practically unchanged when his physician, Prof. Ettore Marchia- fava, paid him an early morning visit today. He had passed g. cornpara- lively calm night, although disturb ed occasionally by fits of coughing and a period of great precipitation at about midnight.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
 LIQUOR AT COUNTRY \ CLUB AND AT HOTEL

The difference between selling n- quor at the fashionable NorwaIk Country club and dispensing bever- ages at the humble East Side hotel East Norwalk, was discussed before Judge Shumway in the superior court yesterday afternoon when John R. L'Hommedieu's appeal from the county commissioners was heard.
 Mrs. Leo Davis, wife of the liquor prosecutor in Norwalk, was on the stand testifying against Mary Lay den, who conducts the hotel and wants a transfer of her license. The witness said she didn't like to have her son on his way to Sunday school, by the hotel
 Attorney Keogh, representing the have to pass four or five other sa- looms and also wanted to know if the witness didn't take her boy to the Norwalk Country club where more li- quor was sold in a day than was consumed in a week at the hotel. The witness admitted the boy went to the country club but she couldn't see the justice of the comparison.
 Arguments were heard in the case this morning and Judge Shunway re- served decision. The appeal is taken from the decision of the commission CTS who allowed the transfer of the license.

QUICK ENDING
 OF R. R. CASES
 SURPRISES BAR

Local lawyers today expressed great surprise at the abrupt ending of the criminal prosecution of the four New Haven railroad officials charged with responsibility for the Westport~ wreck Judge Greene yesterday afternoon granted the motion of the railroad company lawyers asking for separate trials for each of the accused
 It is pointed out that the duties of the four men are interlocked to such an extent that it may be almost impossible to convict them as individ- uals. As each man went on trial he could shift the responsibility for the conditions which caused the wreck. The fact that the railroad lawyers claimed there were no rules specify ing each officials duties would be an other obstacle in the States attempt to secure a conviction.
 Reports have been in circulation to- day that a bench warrant would be asked for President Charles s. Mellen of the New Haven railroad. States Attorney Judson when seen today said he had no statement to make and would have nothing to say until to- morrow when he would have some i'm formation for the public.

 Buffalo. April 1o-The fifth day of the strike of the International Railway Company's trolley men still held traf- ffc suspended. The utmost secrecy was maintained regarding Mayor F'uhrmann's negotiations with the strikers and the street car company for the appointment of a board of ar bitration to settle the question of wages and hours for which the men are fighting.
 Neither Mayor Felhrnann nor the strike leaders would even admit that the proposition being considered by the men came directly from the rail- way officials, although it was gener- ally understood such was the fact and it was believed the executive commit tee Of the strikers would pass upon them and probably submit counter proposals at another meeting in the Mayors office at noon
 The iadvisability of calling a, general strike of the 2,000 union men in Buff falo in sympathy with the striking carmen will be considered at a gen. era1 meeting of the no labor organi- zations here, tonight, according to John Coleman business agent of the United Trades and Labor Council.

GOOD WORK UNDER HANDICAP
Harriet Beecher Stoves Literary Pro.
auctions Put Out In Face Of Some
what Adverse Conditions.

Although the best work is often
produced in the face Of difficulties,
the obstacles may sometimes De so
/ great as to prevent work altogether.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, for example,
was so crowded by her Homework
that she wrote little till she was
forty. She never gave up trying,
however, and her sister Catherine,
who sometimes took dictation in the
Stowe kitchen, has left some anus
ing accounts of Harriet's efforts at
composition. One of those accounts
is quoted in "Heroines of Modern
Progress"
Harriet brushed the flour off her
apron and sat down for moment
in a muse. Then she dictated as
follows:

Close Of the White Meetings.

The evangelistic meetings at the
Baptist church which have been
conducted during the past two
weeks by Major E. w. White were
brought to 4 close last Sunday and
on Monday Major White went to
Isabel to begin meetings there.
The meetings were marked
throughout by clear, strong pre-
sentation of the gospel, and by
good attendance OF interested list
ners. Tie busy season, together
with the stormy weather during the
last week, prevented MANY from
coming i'll from the country and
vet it is certain that the cause Of
Righteousness has been immensely
helped by the frank and fearless
discussion of great truths.
Sunday morning number were
received for membership by the
church and in the evening two per
sons were baptized. Others who
could not attend will be baptized
in the near future.
Not only has the Baptist church
been strengthened by these meet
ings But Christianity in general
has had lasting uplift.
