WOS er mythical or the product of some
70 ~e Imagination, or whether there is
mote possibility that any one of the
numerous vague rumors with reference to
the whereabouts of Theodore Lacy, de-
faulting chief clerk of the state convict
department, may be based upon the
slightest foundation of fact, reports cam
not be downed that Lacy may turn up
at any moment, with all of the states
money intact, and as hale and hearty as
he appeared the day before mis- mysteri-
GUS disappearance
These reports have bean current in Of
ficial circles since the day of Lacy's sud-
den departure from the city. or since
the day that he became lost to his friends
They have been so persistent that even
the most eradeulous was compelled to ad-
NIT that possibly they might be true,
though those who have inclined to the
latter theory have been less hopeful that
Lacy might turn up with a certain pine
box of small dimensions. in which there
was securely packed some $4,000 of the
states money!

Rumors Not Credited

During the past few days the rumors
have grown TO the most hopeful proper
tions-though they have not advanced
beyond the hopeful stage. In official
circles the reports have received little
credence, however, though, as above said,
there may be remote possibility that a
certain reported rumor TO the effect that
Lacy Was located at certain place ma
have just the least bit OF significance.
Governor o. Neal asserts that he has
heard nothing of any Importance and
the governor would probably be the first
to hear anything that had important
bearing upon Lacy's Whereabouts. in
fact the governor is considering incfcas-
ing the reward for I4acy's capture and
this action may be taken at any moment
In the meantime, the search for the ab-
sconding chief clerk is being prosecuted
with the same vigor as upon the day FOL
lowing his disappearance, and while there
IL every possibility that Lacy will be cap
tured sooner or later. it is doubtful of
the governor will give much consideration
to reports of Lacy's whereabouts until
be has something more tangible than re-
mote and vague rumors.

Amendment Assured by the
Action of Connecticut
Legislature
PROCLAMATION OF
BRYAN is REQUIRED
Amendment to All Practical Pur-
poses Is Now Part of Constitution.
36 State Have Ratified
the Proposed Law

Washington, April s--Direct election of
authorized and made compulsory today
when the Connecticut legislature ratified
the constitutional amendment submitted
by Congress less than a year ago. Rati-
flcation already had been given by s5
states.
The situation that results throughout
the country where many legislatures have
adjourned until 1915 is such as to leave
confusion in the minds of members of
the Senate. as to how the early steps
toward direct election of Senators will
be carried out.
While the proclamation OF the Secretary
of State announcing final ratification of
the amendment by 36 states is required
by law, Senators Bristow and Borah,
leaders in the direct elections fight in
that the amendment is for all practical
purpose now part of the constitution.
Amy man who may be elected to the
Senate hereafter must be elected direct
ly," said Senator Borah.
Urge Special Session
The new amendment gives to the state
legislatures however, the right TO pre-
scribe the methods for electing senators.
Many legislatures have adjourned and
will not reconvene until early in 1915, a
few weeks before the terms of over 30
senators expire. 1t Is expected that In
many states the legislatures will adopt
the plan authorized in the new ainend-
ment and direct the governors 10 appoint
senators temporarily, until the people
can elect men at regularly called elections.
Special sessions of the legislatures VIII
be urged in many states, so that the
necessary laws can be passed before the
general elections of 1914. In some states
action has already been taken or will be
before the legislatures end their present
sessions, authorizing the people to vote
for senators at next years election
The choice of a senator in Maryland for
the place now held by Senator Jackson,
would have been made by the legislature
next year under the old system A spe-
eial session of the Maryland legislature
would be necessary to provide laws by
which a popular election could occur next
year. In the opinion of members of the
Senate no successor can be appointed by
the governor under the new provision
when Senator Jackson's term expires, un-
less the legislature shall have especially
directed such action.

Amioi Summoned

DIR. Andrea Amioi was hastily SUM
n,red and was followed by Professor
Marchiafava. They found that the pope
already had been put to bed, but stili was
suffering from recurrence OF faintness.
Finding that the action of the heart
was weak, they injected strophanthus,
which restored him.
The sisters and niece of the pontiff were
notified Immediately and went at once
to the vatican. They remained, however,
at the bedside for only few minutes.
By order of the physicians all audiences
were suspended and the pope remained IN
bed throughout the day, with the result
that a steady improvement was noted.
on his last visit tonight DIR. Marchiafava
found conditions satisfactory, although
the pontiff was extremely weak.
Cardinal Merry Del Val In reply to
questions concerning the exact condition
of the pope asserted that the official
statement was absolutely correct lie
said the pope was suffering only from
a. fresh light attack of Influenza, which
had caused an insignificant rise IN tenn
perature. This condition, he added, need
ed greater care than the former attack
and more prolonged rest. 1t Indicated
that the constitution of the pontiff, which
he considered strong, was easily affected
nv any excessive fatigue or atmospheric
changes which are especially noticeable
In these days when the vagaries of the
weather bring summer heat one day and
cold and rain the next.

tary "that with extreme care. helped

attending physicians would be able to
overcome the disease quickly II the pom

The sisters of the pope, who went to
the vatican again today departed shortly
before 10 o'clock tonight much relieved
that the pope apparently was making
favorable progress. They sent tele-
gram. however. to their brother Angelo,
advising him to come TO Rome
