Common Council.

When Council came to order last
night five members were absent,
Messrs. Lambert, Graham, Brock
EFT, Monroe, and Chauncey. Mr.
Brocket came in little later, making
y members present.
The Committee on Light recon-
mended the passage of an ordinance
providing for the election of a SUPER

Plan to Invite Common
Council to Meet Them
in Joint Session.
DRILLS MOTION LOST.
Election of Police Commissioners,
School Trustees and Superintcn-
dent of Gas at Next Meeting.

All the aldermen were present las
night and the bulk of the business
was transacted without discussion.
Several members were anxious fol
a joint session of the. two boards
in order that vacancies upon the Po-
lice Board and City School Board
could be filed. AS there was nc
likelihood of the Common Council in
viting the Aldermen 10 meet with
them in their chamber for this pur-
pose, it waS suggested that the Al.
dermen notify the lower board of
their readiness to meet them for this
purpose.
Several aldermen demurred to
such a procedure, alleging that this
would place the upper board In a
position of self-invited guests.
1t was then suggested that the
Board of Aldermen invite the Com
mon Council to meet with them. 1t
was alleged that there was no law
compelling the aldermen to wait for
an Invitation from the lower board,
and that the gathering of the two
boards in the Common Council
chamber was simply a custom and for
convenience, as the chamber OF the
lower board was more commodious.
After an interchange of opinion
among all the members, Mr.. Brill
moved That the Common Council m
wife the Board of Aldermen to meet
them in joint session.
Mr.. Ogden opposed the motion,
saying he did not know the names OF
the candidates and preferred more
information before plunging into an
election.
Mr.. Field also opposed the motion,
although he was ready to participate
in q joint session of the aldermen
should hey receive an invitation.
Mr.. Brill spoke in favor OF the
adoption of his motion, and said 1t
was high time to electing police
Commissioners and School Trustees
Mr.. Ballenger was averse to the
proposed new departure of inviting
the Common Council to meet the AL
de,men in joint session, as was also
President Marbury.
The members who opposed Mr.
Brilrs motion announced themselves
as ready to respond to an invitation
to meet the lower board in joint
session.
The ayes and noes were called on
Mr.. Brill's motion, and it was lost
by The following vote: Ayes, Messrs.
Hill. Brill and Fitzgerald-. Noes,
Messrs. Ballenger, Ogden, Field,
Summers and Mr.. President.-5.

SISTERS AT BEDSIDE.
Thousands of Pilgrims Gather in St.
Peters Cathedral and Offer Pray
er's For Pontiff's Recovery.

Rome, April 9.-Pope Plus fe-
yer returned this afternoon and his
condition was regarded as slightly
more critical.
Rome, April 9.-The progress of the
kidney affection Of Bright's disease
from which Pope Plus is suffering is
greatly interfering with his respira-
tion, it was learned this afternoon the
pontiff ceaselessly pleads with his
physicians to allow his sisters, Maria
and Anna, to remain constantly at his
bedside. His request so far has not
been granted.
Pope Plus YVES without fever early
today, but the heart weakness noticed
by Dr.. Ettore Marchiafava, chief Of
the papal physicians, had increased
ralarmingly. The pontiff's condition
gave gravest concern.
Signoras Maria and Anna Sarto,
sisters of the Pope, were at his bedside
for three hours from to 10 o'clock
this morning and Angelo Sarto, his
brother, has been summoned by wire.
Many of the pilgrims from America
and other far countries had expected
to be received in audience by the Pope
today, and when they were informed
from the Vatican that all audiences
had been postponed Indefinitely, they
at once proposed the prayer for the
the pontiff's recovery, at St. Peters.
All of the 1000 pilgrims now in Rome,
those who had seen the pope in TIE
few days last week on which he re-
sumed his audiences, joined with the
others, and the ancient Cathedral pre-
scented an impressive scene.
Pope Plus passed fairly restful
night. DR.. Marchiafava and Dr. Am
lei made frequent visits to the Vatican
through the night, and at midnight
said the pontiff's temperature was
slightly above 100. This occasioned
no especial alarm, and did net prevent
the patient from getting considerable
sleep.
On the doctors first visit today they
found the pope's fever entirely al
layed, but the heart action was more
depressed than last night, and it is
this symptom that gives the most
alarm.
The only official statement regarding
the pope's condition issued from the
Vatican by Cardinal Merry del Val
was:
"The Pope is suffering from a re-
lapse of The Influenza
The statement of Observators Ro-
mano, the official Vatican organ. was
little more satisfactory 1t said.
"Since yesterday evening the Holy
Father has been indisposed with a re-
lapse of influenza. His condition is
causing no anxiety but he requires
much rest"
III was learned from most reliable
sources, though, that Pope Plus Is
suffering from something more than
influenza.
Pope Plus X, whose family name is
GIUSEPPE (Joseph) Sarto, was born
June 2, 1885, at Riez, and was elected
pope by the College of Cardinals upon
the death of the late Pope Leo XIII in
August, 1908.

COLLINS TO ORGANIZE
GROWERS EXCHANGE
Pioneer Commission Man will Market
Kennewick Products Again
This Year

Chas. H. Collins, who announced
through the advertising columns of
this paper last week that he will be
back in Kennewick soon to organize
the Columbia River Valley Fruit
Growers Exchange, has written us
an interesting letter telling more of
the details of his new plan.
Mr.. Collins has visited about fif-
teen states during thelast fewmonths,
selling Yakima apples, and writes,
in part as follows:
I am frank to say that | can
contribute 75% of last years peach
market failure to nothing else than
gross ignorance of the marketing
end. can recite many cases where
our peaches were too high at the
consumers end-where the con-
sumers could not afford them-and
they were not poor people, either.
In my opinion, had the fruit been
distributed with proper knowledge
of the conditions and markets, thou
sands of dollars more could have
been returned to the growers in the
Valley
Mr.. Collins aim is to make his
new agency representative of the
valley from White Bluffs to Hover
and insists that the valley is now
big enough to get along under its
own name, with a label of its own,
instead of masquerading longer un-
der the Yakima title. In this,
we believe many of our growers will
agree. As to whether Mr.. Collins
can organize selling system which
will be any improvement over the
Yakima district association, the
growers themselves will have to de-
eide.
Mr.. Collins writes that he will
call a mass meeting as soon as he
gets home and will then tell the
growers his opinions as to why the
peach market went lame last year,
based on his own observations over
a wide range of markets.

TRUAX BILL IS UP

The Truax bill, intended to allow
a portion of one county to annex
itself to an adjoining county, ap-
peared on the house calendar this
week without the proposed amend
ment making petition of IS per cent
of the voters in the affected terri
tory necessary. The bill has been
put over from day to day but when
it comes up for final passage a sharp
fight is assured, as several counties
are affected by the proposal.
After passing the senate with
only three dissenting votes, the
Klickitat county division bill, Great
ing the new county of Cook from
the west end of Klickitat, was killed
in the house and an attempt at re-
consideration likewise was knocked
on the head. This is taken to mean
that no county division bills what
ever will be passed at this session.

SEE BIC FUTURE
IN GRAPE JUICE
Local Company Preparing to Put
Up Columbia Valley Pro-
duct in Quantities

The Twin City Ice & Cold Storage
company will, during the coming
few months. build 40 x 40 addi-
ton to their factory and install sew
eral thousand dollars worth of
equipment for the manufacture of
unfermented grape juice. Manager
M. H. Church will leave next month
for several weeks business tour of
the east during which he will pur-
chase machinery and supplies.
The equipment to be put in at
first will be sufficient to handle 100
tons Of grapes per season, but the
company does not expect to take
care of more than half this amount
during the present year. Only the
Concord and Worden varieties will
be used and Mr.. Church anticipates
considerable trouble in securing a
sufficient tonnage of these varieties
for his factory's needs. He expects
to ship in a great part of the grapes
from the Prosser and Grandview
districts and perhaps as far away
as North Yakima.
The company wishes to obtain
accurate data of the acreage of Con-
cords and Wordens now in the
valley, and they ask all growers
who have these varieties in market
able quantities to give them this
information concerning their acre
age and probable tonnage.
Fifty tons of grapes will produce
about 7 900 gallons of commercial
juice, and while this a compare
lively modest start, Manager Church
believes that he is laying the
foundation for what may become
Kennewick's biggest industry. The
product will be put up in pint, quart
and gallon bottles, under an attrac-
tive label, and it's sale will be
pushed through the various advers
tising channels.
Mr.. Church has been quietly ex-
perimenting and gathering in
formation during the past few
months and has demonstrated be-
yond doubt that Columbia Valley
Concords and Wordens will pro-
duce juice that surpasses in flavor
any of the famous products now
being manufactured in the east.
AS there is no other factory of any
pretensions on the Pacific coast,
the prospects for big demand for
a western grape juice Of standard
quality would appear very bright.

TAKES OWN LIFE WHILE
MENTALLY UNBALANCED
John c.. Radelmiller, Well-to-Do Bach
elor, Puts Revolver Bullet
Into His Brain

John G.. Radelmiller took his
own life by shooting himself in the
fo orehead with a revolver, at the
home of bis brother-in law, Fred
Moeller. about three miles west of
town, Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Radelmiller had been display
ing symptoms Of being mentally
unbalanced for several days and
the family, being alarmed over his
condition, had called DR.. Spaulding
Tuesday morning. The doctor had
Just finished his examination and
had stepped out into the yard where
he was advising Mr.. Moeller to
hurry the patient to sanatarium
before the disease took a violent
turn, when shot was heard, and a
moment later the unfortunate man
was found lying on the floor of his
room with bullet hole in his head.
He lived for three hours after the
wound was inflicted.
Deceased had been making his
home with the Moellers for the
greater part of the time during the
past three years. He was a native
of Germany, a bachelor and a man
of some means, having disposed OF
valuable farm property in the
Palouse country last fall. Besides
his sister, Mrs. Moeller, he is sur
vived by a brother, Henry, who
owns ranch on the Pasco side OF
the river, and by another sister in
California. He was Sc years of age.
The remains were viewed by Cor
oner Hewetson who decided that an
inquest was unnecessary. The fun
eral was held Thursday afternoon
from the Mueller undertaking par
lors, Rev. F. G.. Foster of Richland
officiating.

DECIDE TO ISOLATE
SMALLPOX CASES
City Health Board Taking no Chances
on Further Spread Of
Disease

Smallpox must be quarantined in
Kennewick hereafter in spite of re-
ports to the contrary. The council
ordered the city health officer to see
that the placards were placed and
that those who had the disease or
had been exposed to it should be
isolated for a sufficient length of
time to prevent danger of contagion.
Half a hundred cases have been
reported from Pasco this winter,
and it is from there that it is thought
the few cases appearing in Kenne-
wick originated. The first two cases
noted on this side of the river were
not quarantined nor isolated in any
way, and the two or three other
cases appearing within the past two
weeks can be traced to one or the
other of those two.
It appears that many people do
not take kindly to vaccination and
the only way out of the difficulty
seems to be the quarantine.
None of the cases reported SO far
have been severe, but there is no
telling when the disease may take a
serious turn. And it is to prevent
an epidemic that the council took
this action.
