DETECTIVE BURNS IN
 THE HUNT FOR MARTIN American Sleuth Trying to Fathom Mystery of Missing American.

London, April 1a-The Scotland Yard officials and Burns, the Amer jean detective after another fattguing day, appeared to be no nearer a solu- ton of the mystery of the disappear ance of Joseph ViIberfoTce Martin, the Memphis cotton broker.
 Even women crystal gazers, who offered supposed clues, were patient ly examined. but out of the endless chain of alleged clues to Martin. both dead and alive all proved worthless on investigation and although the po- lice view is stronger than ever that Martin still lives. no evidence of any kind is yet available.
 The latest theory is that Martins disappearance may possibly have been due to his involvement in some sort of financial complications. but even this is rather a matter of conjecture than knowledge.
 Detective Burns, who yesterday was inclined to attach weight to the ru- mor that Martin had been seen in Paris. said tonight that the latest indications pointed to Spain as most likely hiding place.

WARRANTS FOR SIX
 RAILROAD OFFICIALS
President MeIIen and Five Others
 Charged with MansIaughter.

Bridgeport, Conn., April 15-As an outcome of proceedings in the crim inaI side of the superior court today six officials of the New York; New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany are out under S5,000 bonds each charged with manslaughter in that criminal negligence on their part was responsible for the wreck of the Springfield express at Westport last October, when seven persons lost their lives.
 The indicted officials are President Charles S. MeIIen Vice President E. N. Wood, formerly superintendent of the Shore Line division; Superinten dent Benjamin R. Pollock and La1- renee J. Carmalt of the maintenance dent Mellen and Vice President Me- Henry were served in the courtroom at the conclusion of the hearing on the issuance of the warrants both of ffcials having been present through the entire proceeding. The new writs of information against the other four of fcia1s take the places of the ones originally granted and which were withdrawn when a separate trial was granted them in the first hearing of the case last week.
 The issuing of the warrants for MT. MeIIen and MT. McHenry was bitterly fought. but the court ruled that as it had always been the prac- tice of the state courts to issue such warrants on the request of states at torneys, who, he said were supposed to be fair in their dealings and have a case, he did not see why an e2xcep- tion should be taken in this instance.
 A feature of the trial was an at tempt made by Attorney Cummings for the defense to bring before the court an affidavit made by Vice Pres ident Buckland. This was objected to by the state attorney on the ground that he could not cross examine MT. Buckland and while it was sustained by the court, Judge Greene allowed MT. Cummings to state it's nature. It was to the effect that after the close of court last Tuesday State Attorney through MT. BuckIand's stenographer which was to the effect that if the attempt by counsel for the four off, cials then before the court on bench. warrants, to have them tried sep arately was not discontinued he would have warrants issued for President Mellen and Vice President McHenry.
 In the course of his remarks con corning the affidavit State Attorney Judson was very emphatic in his de- nunciatiOn of what he called the be- trayal of his confidence by the roads officials in allowing the communication to become public. When MT Mel len,'. he said, '.unfo1ded that message to his attorney, he should have hid den his head in shame" He also of fered to resign if the superior court judges thought he was unfair in his procedure:
 No definite date has been set for the trial of any of the officials as the case was indefinitely postponed when the court granted the issuance of the warrants.

 Pope's Brother Arrives.
 The arrival in Rome tonight of An gelo SartO, the roDe's brother, was D. terpreted in solle aaarters as a cer- tain sign that all nope was abandoned It was forgotten that Angelo Sart0 left his own village on his journey to the holy city long before the present setback of the patient occurred-ln fact, when the condition of the pope had greatly improved.
 Angelo was received with open arms by his sisters. who seem to think that the more the pope is surrounded by the members of his family the easier it will be 10 save him.
 Situation Not Grave, Says Marchiafava
 Professor Marchiafava's visit to. the sick room tonight lasted sfOrtY min utes. When he left the vatican he was beSieged for details, as the aggraYat1ou of the pope's condition was already known but he renewed his assurances that the situation was not grave.
 This statement being received with incredulity, the physician remarked that if there were any real danger na would have remained at the vatican, OF would go there during the night, which he did not intend to do. Still uncOn- vinced, the correspondents arranged to watch his house to ascertain whether he returned to the vatican before morning.

House Passes
 The Land Bill
VOTE REACHED IN CALIFORNIA
 LEGiSLATURE.
AFFECTS ALL ALIENS
Except Upon Their Declaration to Be- come American Citizens-Japanese Politicians Call Mass Meeting.

Sacram mento, Cal, April 15.--An anti alien land ownership bill, designed prf- martly to prevent Japanesee from ac- quiring title to real property within the state. but so worded as to prohibit any alien from owning land more than one year, except upon declaration of his intention to become a citizen, was passed today by the lower house of the legislature by vote of 60 to 15.
 Applies to All Aliens
 The measure was drafted by a sub committee of the judiciary committee as a substitute for bills previously in troduced, all of which specifically pro- vided that aliens ineligible to citizen ship should not hold lands- The com mittee, however, proceeded on the the ory that such a statute might be held in violation of the treaty rights of Japanese subjects, and broadened the measure to include all aliens who had not declared their intention of becom- ing citizens.
 Foreign Corporations Spared.
 Tn order not to embarrass foreign corporations. the committee made the corporation clause of the bill apply only to aliens not eligible to citizen ship Several amendments were de- feated in quick order before Assem- bIyman Johnson proposed to put back in the bill thrown out the aliens not eligible to citizenship" clause.
 Case of an Enaishnan.
 s'Afany a young Eng1ishman,'' he said, coming to America with money to invest has promised his parents that he never would surrender his all legiance to the mother country; but he mace no worse neighbor for that, and his children have grown up as good citizens as any of us"
 New Race Problem.
 Tt is a question greater than dollars and cents," replied Assemblyman Bloodgood. Tt amounts to another great race problem. Ten miles from Sacramento I saw a Japanese man and a white woman living together. There was a baby. What was the baby? It was the beginning of a new race prob lem, a problem of the fusion of races nassirnilable."
 The amendment was defeated 5s to 29.

Sudden Change For Worse Yesterday Tempera-,
 ture Rises, Bronchial Symptoms Reappear
A SIGN OF PNEUMONIA IS ALSO IN EVIDENCE
Affected Zone of Chest Further Congested Sounds Within Bronchial Tubes More Pronounced to Have Over Exerted Himself Again-Prof Marchiafava Still Main tains Situation is Not Grave-Pope's Brother Arrives

Rome, April 15.-Once again there has been sudden change for the worse in the condition of Pope Plus X It is changes such as these that have repeatedly transformed the feeling of optimism regarding the pope's re coYery into one of grave anxiety, in the knowledge that each recurrence withdraws something from the vital forces of the holy father.
 Notwithstanding the reassurances Of Professor Marchiafava careful watch is being kept on the vatican, and there is doubt that the ''satisfac- tory general condition of the pontiff. IS reported by the doctors, is borne out by the facts.
 Bronchial Symptoms More Serious.
 The temperature of the pope, which throughout almost the whole day re mained at g. degreeS-in itself indi- eating depression and weakness in the carly evening to 100. and later to 102. The bronchial symptoms, which al the morning examination " gre found to be diminished, presented new affected zone on the left side of the chest was further congested. with a possible area of cOnSo1idatOn-One ot the signs of pneumonia-an the were more pronounced
 The attending physicians ordered a special meteorological examination of the sputuln. in order to ascertain whether it contained infectious mate rial and the nature Of the detrius which threatens to block the lungs.
 OVerexerted Himself Again.
 The darkest reports are being circu- lated, one to the effect that the pope is at the-point of death. and that F'a- ther Agostine Pifferi, an Augustinian monk, has been ordered to be in readi- ness to bring to the patient the last communion, this being the prerogatlVe of his office
 This appears to be an exaggeration of the situation, although undoubtedly the pope's condition is much worse, sufficient rest today and oVerexerted himself, as he had done on previous

DELUGE OF PROTESTS FROM
 THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Democratic Congressmen Receive Them From all Sections of Country.

Washington, April 15-Democratic representatives from all sections are being besieged in letters and by per Sona1 representatives of insurance companies protesting against their in clusion as organizations under the corporation tax provision of the tariff bill now under consideration before the house democratic caucus.
 Representative Cordel Hull of Tennessee, author of the income tax feature, said today that his desk was piled with mail from insurance com panies, protesting that they are not prOft-makfng organizations The question may be considered in caucus but the democratic leaders declare that insurance organizations were given careful consideration when the law was framed and that opposition will not avail.
 With the caucus making slow pro- gress on the tariff bill, the wool schedule probably will be reached to- morrow, when the opposition demo crats will make their most strenu- ous fight. The anti~free raw wool representatives have organized for the contest and, although the orders are overwhelming, they propose to make a determined struggle to bind the caucus to a fifteen percent duty on raw wool as a substitute for it's free listing by the committee at the re- quest of President Wilson

HEARING BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON LABOR
Proposed 54 Hour Law For Women and Children Also En-
 counters Opposition Comptroller Bradstreet Declares It Would Mean Only AS Hours of Actual Work-Fred Holdsworth of Norwich Makes Reply General Keeney

1 two years ago, to investigate the con- dition of wage earning women and minors in this state:
 | 1. That the hours of labor of wage earning women and minors be short l ened and regulated.
 2. That provision for the effective ] reporting and recording of occupation l al diseases and accidents be made. 3. That the labor of women and minors in certain occupations be pro- hibfted.
 I. That there be more stringent regulation of child labor. with espe- cial reference to night work, messen- ger service and street trades, and to a shorter working day Q. That more adequate provisions be made for the comfort and health of wage earning women and minors in factories.
 6. That a minimum wage commits sion be appointed.
 The report was presented today through the chairman of the comnlis- sion, James P. Woodruff of Litchfield The report says in part:
 TO have made a complete inveSti- gation of the conditions of women in all industries, would have required much larger sum than the appro- priation of s5,0O0 The field of in vestigation was therefore of neces- sity limited, and after careful con- sideration, was finally restricted to the three industries employing the largest
 
 tiles, metal trades and cOrsets. Linn ited investigation was also made of women in the rubber industry and in the repair and alteration departments of departm stores
 Fifty factories were investigated in fourteen localities Wage data, copied directly from the payrolIs, were gath cred for 9103 women and personal and social data taken from employees themselves for 10, 351 women"
 The commission says that investi- gation has shown that $7 is barely a living wage for a girl or a woman, who must pay for food, laundry, lodg- ing, clothing, scarfares and medical and dental care. A study of tables prepared by the commission shows that in the cotton industry 1928 per cent. of the women employed earned less than $7; in silk 5S.15 per cent. earned less than that: in metal the number falls to 1899 per cent; in rubber to 49.43 per cent, while the earnings of 48.40 per cent of all those employed in these industries fall be- low the $7 wage scale.
 "1t is therefore evident,'' says the commission, that practically one-half of the women employed in these fac tories earn less than living wage"
 The report goes into careful detail concerning ventilation, toilet provi- sions, safeguards, etc. and criticism is made of conditions in many of the factories.

FRIDAY SESSIONS.
Question to Come Up in Senate To
 day-Attempt to Limit Debate.

Hartford, Conn, April 15-Just be- fore the senate adjourned this after noon Senator Purcell moved that the order of the day for 12.30 noon tom or row be upon his motion that Friday sessions be held. It is expected that the upper branch will then declare it's attitude as to putting in longer work ing days for three days a week, or more days a week. this latter plan being generally opposed by members in the lower branch because 1t entails additional and. to many. heavy travel ing expenses.
 Attempt to Limit Debate
 In the house. on the other hand. a motion of MT. Healey, the republican leader, to limit debate on measures to five minutes was voted down, although he pointed out that 1t had been GUS toma1y in the closing days of previous sessions to pass motion of this kind. Colonel Hall declared that MT. HeaIey's s motion was in the interest of the lob by, while MT. Wilson of Bridgeport believed that the rule of the previous question was safeguard enough in de- bate.
 County Commissioners Bill.
 Both branches did a fair amount of business with only a little oratory, the senate sitting for over two hours on calendar matters alone, passing forty three measures in concurrence with the house, supplying Governor Baldwin with work when the engrossed bills reached him. The senate declared by a party vote it's adherence to the prin- ciple of electing county commission CTS by the people, sending the bill back to the house without any amend ments- The democrats are generally expectant that the house will pass the original bill. as the amended bill went through by only a. margin of one vote
 Open Season on Deer.
 The deer bill was recommended with every indication that while scores of house members want the deer pest killed off, they feel that one human life is worth more than all the deer in the state.
