Los ANGELES. April 1s.-While

The beast showed no disposition to

shouting, but the lion did not scare.
Suddenly Love thought OF har-

lion.
Instantly the beast stopped and lis

LONDON. April 1s.-Never shall 1T be
said that the militant suffragists OF
London lack a sense of humor. They
have set the torch to some, of the finest
castles and manors of England. They
have destroyed secretly yet openly. and
have gloried in their terrible work.
On Fish street hill between. old 'Lud''
and the tower--or in the heart of the
old city of London-rises a column col
feet high. designed by Sir Christopher
Wren.
In the reign of Charles II London was
as filthy and as wicked a city as the
world ever saw Charles and the wicked
Lord Rochester were regarded as the
very incarnation of evil by the Puri-
tans. Then came the great plague and
then the great fire of September, 1866.
To commemorate the fire. the people
of London put up the monument--the
sign OF Gods vengeance against
Charles Stuart and his pity for his
people, for the fire cleansed the city
OF the filth and injection OF the
plague.
Today the militant suffragettes
whose favorite toy is the torch, seized
possession of the monument from its
topmost balcony and scattered suffrage
literature to the crowds cheering and
jeering below.
A huge banner in. the colors OF the
Womens Social and Political union

IN TOWN
FIRE Commission
Corte MADEIRA Fire Board
Members Engage in Row
That Ends in Blows

Spicy details of sanguinary fist
battle in the board rooms of the Corte
MADEIRA fire commissioners Thursday
night leaked out yesterday when the
entire town buzzed with gossip con-
corning the affair
The principals were Albert f. Horne,
an accountant of the Western Pacific
Railroad company, and Robert Wilson,
one OF the leading business men of the
little city across the bay, both of
whom are fire commissioners, Wilson
being newly elected member of the
board
The trouble started shortly after the
meeting was called to order. Commits
sioner Horne, who was acting secre-
tary.; left his minutes at home He ex-
cused himself and hastened back for
the precious record.
During his absence Commissioner
Wilson walked into the room and
called the meeting to order without au-
thority, according to the story that
went the rounds.
Horne obtained the minutes and
walked to his desk. Ip the meantime
Wilson had appointed John Dolan, who
got tie vote for fire commissioner
with David Kenney, as the new secre-
tary, procedure condemned by At
torney e. c. Chapman of San Francisco
as being Illegal.
Il suppose you will turn over the
minutes to the new secretary" re-
marked Wilson as Horne took his seat
II most certainly will not" replied
Horne with much heat
Then you are fathead,'" Wilson is
alleged to have remarked.
Thereupon Commissioner Horne struck
Commissioner Wilson in the face and
knocked him down. He got to his feet
and went down again under crushing
blow in the face from Commissioner
Horne's ample fist
Friends prevented Wilson from re-
taliating the blows and prevented
Horne from further pugilistic demon

LAST ANALYSIS MAY
BE GIVEN BY COURTS
While Senators and Assem-
blymen in Many Cases
Have Not Given Attention
to Constitutional Phase of
Situation, All Seem to Be
lieve That Lawyer Has
Struck Point Demanding
Serious Consideration
CALL BUREAU,
SACRAMENTO HOTEL,


Legislators are disinclined to discuss
the opinion Of Thomas " Gator. who
believes that the anti-alien land bill,
II passed, would be in conflict with
both state and United States constitu-
tional provisions. The governor is
averse to giving any statement as to
what he thinks of Gators summary of
the case. and he is also unwilling to
say anything about the reports from
Tokyo or Washington affecting the
measure that may be forced up to him
for veto or favorable. consideration
The governor was approached today
on the subject of tne stand taken by
the administration toward the bill but
he would not give any idea of what his
stand would be. At his office it is
understood that the governor wishes
to remain absolutely in the back
ground until the senate passes on the
measure that Is before it, and which
is not altogether similar to that re-
Gently passed by the assembly.
TO AWAIT FINAL ACTION
The governors policy, 1t is under
stood, is to await final action in the
conference committee, which is likely
to have to deal with the bill, before
giving an official administration opin-
ion either one way or the other.
The senate and assembly members
ton to the constitutional phase of the
situation. They all seem to believe
Mr. Gator to be an able lawyer on mat
ters appertaining to legislation. but
few of them desired to be quoted.
Others were open in their opinions that
the bill, II passed. would have to be
settled in the courts before 1t could
be ascertained to be effective or other
wise.
Senator Newton w. Thompson of Los
Angeles, who has been objecting to the
amendments of the BirdsalI bill, said:
II don't think that the bill as I view
it will give cause for any one to COM
Gus, but 1t will be met"
COURTS MAY DECIDE
Assemblyman J. j. Griffin OF Merced
said: ct seems to me that the entire
matter will have to go to the courts
If the bill comes up in anywhere near
its present form. 1t is difficult off
handedIy to decide the value of an
opinion such as that Mr.. Gator has
given. I know that he is an able man
when 1t comes to dissecting legisla-
tive laws / think that the courts will
have to settle this thing"
Senator Thomas Finn of San Fran
cisco said that he had not given the
Gator opinion as much attention as he
might if he had more time and that
it would be hard for him to express an
opinion until he had studied the mat
ter in detail
Senator Sanford does not know how
effective the Gator decision might or
might not be, but he said that he was

.. ROME. April 1S-Consoling news
that emanated from the Vatican to-
night indicated that Pope Plus had
passed three days without fever, that
his general condition was progressing
favorably, and that If these conditions
= continued for two days more his holi-
ness would be considered convalescent
and the bulletins of the physicians dis
continued.
4 Although this information came from
s.fhe physicians in attendance upon Pope
Plus. and was confirmed by Cardinal
o Merry del Val, the papal secretary of
state, it did not reassure persons of
pessimistic tendencies from inventing
ailments for the pontif. Tonight they
declared he was suffering from patchy
pneumonia and senile consumption.
. PHYSICIANS OPTIMISTIC
This evenings bulletin issued over
2 the signatures of the pope's physicians
reads:
To-day also was passed without
fever. The temperature of the pontiff
tonight is 99.1 The amelioration con-
tLnues. MARCHIAFAVA-
"AMICL"
When DR.. Anici visited the pope
shortly before midnight he found his
temperature 97.2. He said the condi
tion of the patient was satisfactory, and
q ,thatshe was fnding great relief from
his cough by taking soothing liquor
orTls ammonia Favored With anise seed.
After DIR. Amici's visit Pope Plus slept.
His breathing was audible in the room
on aeco1nt of his catarrh.
Professor Ettore Marchiafava, the
pope's chief physician. was asked by
the Associated Press tonight concern
ing the condition of his patient. In
writing. he replied:
HEART AND PULSE STRONG
? The holy father has suffered from
! influenza with slight affection of the
tracheaI and larger bronchial tubes.
Bronche pneumonia never has even
been suspected / have never doubted
NJ his recovery sooner or later. His
general condition always has been of
the best. His heart and pulse are
strong and normal and the sensorial
nerves intact"
It must be added, however, that al
though all Professor Marchiafava says
fnshis statement may be perfectly true,
another affection exists which is not
in an acute stage now, but always is
liable to recur. This is a gouty kidney
The better condition of the pope is
shown by his increasing interest in
affairs. He insisted today on convey
ing. his instructions to Cardinal Fer
rata, who will leave tomorrow for
Malta to preside at the Eucharistic
congress.
He also desired to know what ar
rangements had been made concerning
the pontifcal mass which he was to
celebrate in St Peters on Pentecost
sunday, three weeks away This day
is intended to be a great one in the
festivitis NJ of the Constantine jubilee
and it - with great difficulty that
he was induced to postpone the cere-
mony to November, when the end OF
the Jubilee will take place.
Cardinal Merry del Val today re-
ceived in the name of the pope about
. 600 Polish and Italian pilgrims under
the leadership of seven bishops. The
cardinal assured them that the pope
was progressing well and the symp-
toms of bronchial affection We're de-
creasing while the strength or the
Dontiff was returning.
