POPE IS ALLOWED
TO GET OUT OF BED
Reluctantly Returns, on Doctors S
Orders, After Sitting Up for
Two Hours.
tBy Associated Press. !

Rome. April 22.-The Pope sat UP
for two hours to-day, after which DR..
Amici. by the instructions of Professor
Marchiafava, forced him to return to
bed, which the Pontiff did reluctantly.
DR.. Amici remained in the sick room
for considerable time to make GER
tain that his orders were carried out.
The Pope continues to express i'm
patience for the resumption of his or
dinary life, but the physicians insist
upon absolute rest, at least for another
fortnight They declare that another
relapse would be ineXcusable, both for
the patient and the doctors
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary of state, to-day received a
pilgrimage from the Diocese of Cam
brai. France. conducted by Bishop Della
marie. who brought with him a bronze
group representing the Virgin curing
a patient who had been carried before
her. The bishop said the pilgrims de-
sired to present the group to the Pope,
and asked that 1T be taken to his bed
room as good augury that the Virgin
would smile upon the sick Pontiff, and
relieve him of his infirmities.
The papal secretary, in expressing his
thanks. said:
THE pilgrims are the children of
France. which, Notwithstanding its
many sins, is to be considered always
the eldest daughter of the church. The
pilgrims who have come to Rome COM
memorate the liberty granted by Con-
stantine to the church, and they must
pray that the same liberty be granted
again to the church in France"
An American pilgrimage led by John
j. McGrane. of New York, comprising
about 100 persons OF whom n score
are ecclesiastics, arrived here this eve
ming from Naples. They expressed
great regret to hear that the Pope.s
condition was such that 1t would be
impossible for him to receive them in
audience. but they have not. given up
hope that they will at least see tho
Pontiff. sMsf

Details of Plan of Reform to Be
Presented With Wilson'S In
dorsement Now Being Worked
Out-Short Series of Hear
ings Before Committee
Will Be Arranged.

Washington, April 22.-Currency re-
form legislation was taken up for the
first time to-day by the full Senate
Committee on Banking and Currency.
As the result of a short session, in
which plans for a financial bill were
not discussed in detail, IL is believed
that unless President Wilson should
insist. there will be no final action
upon currency legislation at the pres
ent session of Congress.
Arrangements will be made for a
short series of hearings before the Sen
ate committee to begin within a few
weeks. Details of the plan Of reform
that is to be presented with the in
dorsement of President Wilson are now
being worked out, but opinions ex-
pressed at the committee meeting to-
day indicated that Democratic leaders
probably will not attempt to press
financial Legislation to It's final stages
until after the December session.
Chairman owen. OF the Banking and
Currency Committee. told the mem
bcrs at to-days meeting of results of
Informal conferences with President
Wilson, Secretary McAdoo and Chair
man Glass, of the House Banking
Committee.
May he Found I'm Bill.
Working informally, obtaining the
views of the President and his ad-
viscrs, Senator Owen and Represent
ative Glass have been looked upon as
the men who will frame n measure
| to be known as the Owen-GIass bill,
to be introduced at the same time in
both houses, and carrying with 1t the
administration's approval. Some OF
the provisions which eytntually may
be found In the bill became known to-
day. These include:
i. Fifteen regional reserve banks
which would act as fiscal agents for
the government, receiving deposits OF
discount for the banks In their respect
I've regions, and receiving part OF
the reserve of the banks of the coun-
try. Currency would be issued
through the regional reserve banks
Practically all the capital stock OF
these institutions, as well as any ac-
cruing profits, would be the property
Of the banks OF each region.
2. governing board to supervise
the regional reserve banks would be
established to consist of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, the Secretary of Agri-
culture and the Comptroller of the Cur
rency as ex-officio members; four di-
rectors chosen by the banks of the
country and two directors appointed
| by the President of the United States
3. The elasticity of the currency
would be provided for by conditions
calculated to prevent imitation. Any
notes issued would be redeemable in
gold by providing a reserve for actual
gold redemption.
4. The extent to which the reserves
could be used has not been determined
but one plan is in favor of permitting
their use under a reasonable tax.

ADVICE OF KING
FOR SETTLEMENT
M o ement Gains Sufficient
Strength to Induce Authorities
to Recede From Uncompro-
missing Attitude and Insure
Termination of Situation,
Which Cost Millions.

Brussels, April 22.-Owing in great
part to the advice of the King, tho gov
ernment to-day accepted the compro-
misc proposed by the Liberal leader,
M. Mason, and the great strike for
manhood suffrage, which. on account
of the remarkable discipline main
tanned. the solidarity of those who
joined in the movement and skiltuI
organization. Is unique in history will
be called off Thursday.
Only week ago the Belgian Pre-
mier. Charles de Broqueville. declared:
NO government could yield to n
strike of this nature. To yield would
be to abdicate.'
Nevertheless. the strike seems to
have made sufficient impression on the
government to induce 1t to unbend
from its uncompromising attitude far
enough to insure the termination or
situation which has already cost the
country millions. and is daily driving
away from manufacturers customers
they may never win back.
The decision to accept the compro-
mise was reached yesterday by tho
Cabinet, and the Premier announced
in tho Chamber of Deputies to-day that
tho government had made NJ. Masson's
motion Its own.
Feeling of Expectancy.
When the Chamber of Deputies met
this afternoon there was tense feel
Ing OF expectancy. The conciliatory
motion of NJ. Mason, Liberal leader,
was taken up Immediately.
Deputy Liebaert Clerical pro-
posed an additional clause, reading:
"The Chamber disapproves and con-
demns the general strike"
Premier do Broqueville accepted tho

woke Socialist Congress. which alone

The first part of the motion was then
adopted unanimously by the Chamber.
