a duel tonight with Herbert b. Lar

Charles River. As result Larner

The duel caused by the objections

assumed a serious and possibly fatal
aspect when young Rounds, on the
verge of defeat. drew a long penknife
and with it cut Larner on the face
several times. mutilated his ear,
stabbed him in the neck close to the
iugular vein. sashed him in the side
and neck and stabbed him in the abb

Rounds continued TO slash vigorous

Grogan home.
At midnight he was taken 10 the
Fenway Hospital. His chances of re-
covery are said to be small.
The trouble began when, about a

Rounds. ST.. not 10 come to the house.

retorted that she would ask Larner

was arranged.

London, April i7.-Brokers in the
London cotton market were greatly
perturbed yesterday by reports from
Memphis that nearly 1000 cotton ware
house certificates held by the Martin
firm and hypothecated had been found
to be duplicates and forgeries. The
brokers and bankers concerned at once
noted that just sufficient time had
elapsed since j. w. Martins disappear
ance on April = for the receipts to
pass through the usual channels and
reach America and the forgeries TO be
discovered, if forgeries they be. The
loss. it is said, will amount TO about
$4,000 but it is uncertain who is hit
until it is known which if any of the
receipts are forged.
No further questions arc asked here
now by city men as to the reasons for
Martins disappearance, especially when
it is known that few hours before
he dropped out Of sight he cleaned out
a small drawing account, amounting 10

the other by Monsignor Parolin.
The Pope had an alarming coughing

by such exhaustion that those attend

Rome, April 1.-THE bulletins issued
by the physicians yesterday indicated
that the condition of TIE Pope was
practically stationary. The evening
bulletin was of a more optimistic tone
as 1t indicated that the temperature
was normal and that there had been no
recurrence of the usual night fever.
The bulletin said:
His Holiness passed a quiet day
without fever. This evening his tenn.
perature was 98Ia. The catarrhal and
bronchial affection is in the same con.
dition as this morning.
GTTORE MARcHIAFAVA,
ANDREA AMiCI.
The fact, however, that the bronchial
affection is not tending to resolution
detracts somewhat from the hopeful
character of the report, as the occa-
sional paroxys-ls of coughing are tax
ing the strength Of the patient, who al
iNoNs hoo DOth a cat Sll dlAi.
The condition of albuminuria has re-
appeared. To relieve the kidneys hot
baths have been ordered.
Temperature Slightly Higher.
Dr. Andrea Amici paid a visit to the
Vatican at IL o'clock last night and.
according to his announcement, found
only slight elevation in the tempera-
ture, with other conditions satisfactory.
He reported to Cardinal Merry del Val.
who personally watches at the Pope's
bedside most Of the day and during the
early hour of the night. and later tele-
phoned his observations TO Professor
Marchiafava. who has been connected
with the Vatican by special wire in or
der TO avoid indiscretions.
Further improvement in the Pope's
condition was shown by the fact that
he was able 10 retain a quantity OF
chicken jelly and that he slept peace
fully for a considerable time. Early in
the evening he acknowledged that ne
was feeling the benefit of the absolute
rest imposed upon him and that he telt
more inclined TO sleep naturally than
at any time since his Illness.
The Pope is extremely concerned at
the trouble he gives to those around
him. often expressing to them his deep
gratitude. especially those who assist
him at night, repeatedly urging them
to go TO bed, and sometimes his insist
ence is so marked that in order TO sat
isfy him they leave the room.
The morning bulletin on the condition
of the Pope was as follows:
THE Holy Father slept TRANQUILITY
for several hours during the night.
This morning his temperature was
under 81. The catarrhal affection Is
no worse and expectoration continues
easy. The condition of the heart is
good. "MARCHIAFAVA,

In Isidor ,.2cc-, |nC was remanded
to the Tombs Yesterday in default OF
$4,000 bail by Judge Grain. in General
Sessions, the police believe they have
the man responsible for much Of the
truck thicving of recent months. The
work of the truck thief is at once the
easiest and the most remunerative in
the underworld. and. according To in
surancc companies. the value of such
thefts may run into six figures
monthly.
RAIDER had a poOlroom IN Rivington

Quoted recruiting station and school
for truck thieves. Whether he himself
was boss truck thicf' or whether
there was another above him i'm that
section of the city is not known. but, as
there are already two indictments
against him and the possibility Of sew
cral more. the District Attorney hopes
tc learn more Of the business from
RAIDER himself.
RAIDER was arraigncd before Judge
Grain on an Indictment charging him
with grand larceny i'm stealing a truck,

main reliance against RAIDER, although
Morris r. Moskowitz. the Assistant
District Attorney To whom Bartel told
his story. said that he had obtained
similar but less definite information
from youths convicted of stealing
trucks.
According TO Bartel, RAIDER sized up
the patrons of his poolroom and sought
to add to his gang such young fellows
as seemed intelligent and daring. He
would have nothing 10 do with one who
had been convicted Of crime. Those
whom he wished 10 have as his helpers
he first put under obligation TO himself
by loaning them money or doing them
some other favor.
Then he preached the subject Of steal
ing from trucks. suggesting that it
would not only bc profitable but the
easiest kind of work" I'm detail he
explained how the value of a load was
TO be determined. how the truck was TO
be traiied until the driver left it for "A
few moments. or how. if necessary. the
driver might be beguiled into leaving
his truck unguhrded.
Then the thief merely had TO take the
drivers seat and drive away uncon-
cernedly to predetermined point.
where RAIDER would have waiting an
other truck. to which the load would be
transferred.
RAIDER also, Bartel said. supplied
plausible stories TO disarm suspicion in
case the substitute driver were caught.
He could say either that man hired
him for a quarter or half dollar to
drive the truck TO certain corner:
that man who was driving invited
him to have ride and left him for A
moment, or that the horses started off
with the truck and he jumped aboard
to prevent runaway.

Albany, April 16:-While Governor
Sulzer is talking about the enactment
of statewide direct primary law. en-
bracing everything from Governor 10
town constable, the Senate to-day
passed the Blauvelt bill TO perfect"
the existing primary law This is Tam
many's answer to the Governor. The
Blauvelt bill makes such slight i'm
provements in the existing law, which
direct primary advocates term a farce,
that they are barely discernible.
TIL organization bill, for instance.
does not extend the system of direct
nominations in any way. 1t meets the
decision of tie Court OF Appeals knock
ing out the stipulated number of sig =
natures for independent nominations
contained in the present law by fixing a
minimum of > per cent Of the vote for
Governor in the political unit. This is
a reduction of the existing requirements
in some cases. but actually compels an
independent candidate in many dis
tricts in New York City to obtain =
greater number of signatures to his
petition than would the present law.
This measure does not abolish the or
ganzation column on the primary bai-
lot, with the party emblem FOR the ma
chine candidates. II provides for a
somewhat different style of ballot. but
no change is made in the system Of
committee representation. so that the
primary ballots in New York city.
where the fourteen-foot ballots created
a scandal, are not likely to be much
smaller.
