moved If the number of parcels mailed

offices in the larger cities which remain
open all night, citizens vieing with each
other for the honor of mailing the first
package, and almost every imaginable
article within the regulstions-and
from newspaper reports few not in
cluded-have since gone through the
mail. At the Owosso Office. E. g
Osborn was the first to appear at the

with parcel, while E. W. Mosher was
the first to send an; insured parcel.
The Office was open but three hours

weighing 80 pounds, on which thepost.
age was $l.5S were mailed. Thursday 81

A WIDE DIVISION OF OPINION
SOME THINK MEASURE SHOULD
BE ADOPTED SCHEDULE
8Y-scHEDULE.
OTHERS Wish SINGLE BILL
THE SUGAR DUTIES WILL BE
GREATEST BONE OF
CONTENTION.

Washington, April S-How to steer
the new tariff Dill through congress
to the statute hooks is tho question
now confronting democratic leaders
of the administration. early To-Day
the democrats met in caucus, but i'm
mediately adjourned to await the
message OF President Wilson. After
providing for working committees OF
the extra session they will consider
the tariff bill as introduced by the
ways and means committee.
The principal problem confronting
the house leaders, who are listening
to members of the senate for the sake
of harmony, is whether the bill
should be reported in the house in its
entirety or schedule by schedule
Democratic senators who oppose the
schedule with provision for free sug-
ar in three years objected to consid-
Grafton of the tariff as one bill.
Though no decision has been
reached, there was a probability to-
day that the house caucus might de-
termine finally to segregate the sugar
schedule, taking up all the other
schedules and the income tax as one
bill. It also was probable that the
question of the method of considera-
ton might not be determined by the
caucus but be taken up on the floor
Of the house after the bill had been
reported from the ways and means
committee. Chairman Underwood
has stated that the question need
not be determined at once, as the
bill could be separated into sections
any time the house deemed it expedi
ent to take such action.

uPsETs The eposE.g

Los Angeles, April S.-George w
DaCunha, known as an advocate OF
marriage by public allotment, demon
strated today that he had repudiat-
ell his own theory by introducing his
wife, a santa Monica young woman
whom he had wooed and won in the
world-old way.
While a resident of Mont Clair, n.
j., several years ago, DaCunha came
into public notice by his advocacy of
marriage by lot under the supervi-
sion Of public institutions, but his
own marriage to Miss ellen l. swain
was not the result of a public draw
ing and DaCunha now admits his
theory was all wrong. although the
marriage took place last December,
it was not publicly known until TO-
day. According 70 DaCunha, h feared
he would become the victim Of ridi-
eule.

He SUFFERS A RELAPSE
AFTER GREETING A NUMBER OF
PILGRIMS YESTERDAY HE
HAS PAINTING FIT
OBLIGED TO GO TO BED
THE SUPREME PoNTlFF WILL
BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A
PROLONGED REST

Rome, April S.-Pope Plus suffered
a severe relapse in the course Of last
night He was very feyerish, his
temperature rising TO 100 degrees. Dr..
Marchiafaya was with him for an
hour.
After a thorough investigation the
physicians insisted that the pontiff
should take complete repose and for
bade him even to receive the usual
daily report on Vatican affairs.
The only persons beside the physi-
clans who were permitted to see the
pope were Cardinal Merry del Val, the
papaI secretary of state, and the sis
ters and niece of the pontiff.
No official bulletin had been issued
today concerning his condition. but
a report is in circulation that the re-
lapse he suffered last night was due
to an affection of the kidneys.
In connection with the relapse suf-
ferod by the pope it is reported here
that in consequence of the two
lengthy receptions Of pilgrims given
by him yesterday, he was overcome
by extreme fatigue. The two recep-
tons obliged the pope to remain for
several hours without moving.
IN the course Of the evening he
suffered a slight fainting fit and Dr.
Andrea Amici, who also was in at
tendance, had him put to bed and in
ieoted a strengthening remedy. After
few minutes the pope recovered con
sciousness and spoke to those around
him.
BY the doctors instructions the pope
viii remain in bed, suspending all
his habitual occupations until further
orders.
An official statement of the pope's
condition published in the. osserva-
tore Romano this evening says
Since yesterday evening the Holy
Father has been indisposed with
relapse of Influenza His condition
is causing no anxiety, but he re-
quires much rest
A consultation between Professor
Ettore Marcniafava and the physi-
clans in attendance upon the pope
this evening is reported to have
proved that the pope is affected with
nephritis or inflammation of the kid
neys, and it was expected that the
greatest anxiety is felt.

Naco, Ariz, April s. Meeting the
advancing state troops nearly one
mile below Naco. Sonora, General
Ojeda's federals fought to day for three
hours. Bullets sprayed over the Ari-
zona town Of Naco, wounding four
negro troopers of the Ninths cavalry
border patrol and one army teamster.
None is expected to die.
Shortly after O'Clock, the federals
retired to town, but were not pursued
by the constitutionalist forces. Fol-
lowing his previous record Of daring
strategy, Ojeda did not permit the
state troops TO open the attack. He
met them half way, and temporarily
held back the advance with wicked
artillery fire. Naco is well fortified
and if the state troops attack they
must take trenches by assault
The fight was opened by Ojeda,
whose 800 federals met the advance
Of nearly 1000 state troops with
rattling voIleys from eight machine
guns and two field pieces. Operating
two of the federal pieces were two
American negroes, deserters from the
Ninth United States cavalry station
ed along the border here.
General 0bregon's artillery equip
ment consisted of four rapid fire
pieces and one cannon. But the rifle

was more severe and appeared more
effective than the artillery
