THREE BISHOPS ARE
GIVEN AN AUDIENCE
BY ROMAN P0NT|FF
Pope Plus Greatly Improved
and Receives Leaders
of Pilgrimage in
Audience

Rome. April 11-Despite injunctions of
his physicians and remonstrances of his
attendants, Pope Plus this afternoon re-
ceived in audience three bishops who had
headed a pilgrimage to Rome to visit
him and bestowed upon them the papal
blessing
Tonight his holiness, wearied by his ef-
forts fell into deep sleep Immediately
after his physicians had made their Gus
tonlarx cali.
The meeting between the pontiff and the
three aged bishops was pathetic. AS they
entered the sick room they threw them
selves at the feet of the pope. who was
sitting in his arm chair The pope smiled
and, lifting his hands above their heads,
bestowed his blessings. This, he said,
was intended not alone for the prelates.
but for the pilgrims who had journeyed
to Rome to pay him tribute.
The bishops who had been warned to
make the audience as short as possible,
left the papal bedroom, their eyes brim-
ming with tears. Neither Professor Mar
chiafava nor DR. Amici was present dur
ing the reception
Progressing Rapidly
The recovery of the pope from his re-
lapse apparently is progressing rapidly.
His sisters, speaking today with the parish
priest of Riese, their birthplace, who was
with the Venetian pilgrims visiting the
vatican said the condition of the pontiff
was now so satisfactory that it was pos
sible he would be able within a few days
to receive some of the pilgrims from his
native region. They declared it was the
desire of their brother to do so, but that
nevertheless his physicians were generally
resisting such plan, wishing that their
patient have immunity from excitement
in his period of convalescence.
The pilgrims were received in the royal
hall this afternoon by Cardinal Merry Del
Val, the papal secretary of state, at the
special request of Pope Plus. 1t was a
solemn function. The cardinal addressed
the visitors in the name of the pope and
impaired to them the papal blessing. 1t
was with much regret, the cardinal said,
that Pope Plus personally was unable to
see the pilgrims, especially the venetians.
among them whom he greatly desired to
greet.
Pilgrims Presented
The pilgrims. led by their archbishops.
carried banners and wore the costumes
peculiar to their localities. They were
presented by the archbishop of Cheti.
Cardinal Merry Del Val explained that
Pope Plus understood the sacrifices the
pilgrims had undergone in coming to
Rome and would have been extremely
happy to see them If it were possible.
.'At this moment the cardinal contin-
ued, more than from the slight Illness,
which. thank heaven, is about to disap-
pear he suffers from being deprived OF
the consolation of meeting you"
The cardinal concludedt by saying that
the pontiff desired that a copy of his last
allocuation regarding the liberty of the
church be given each of the pilgrims as a
souvenir of their visit.
The first documents bearing the papal
signature appeared today. They are de-
crees by which Cardinals Pompili and Van
Russom are made members of the con-
gregation of the holy office.

Broussard Amendment

Another Broussard amendment would
extend the period of grace under which
the contemplated free sugar basis was to
be reached within three years to a total
of four years, so as to carry the whole
question beyond the next national cleo
ton.
Representatives Howard of Georgia,
Gard of Ohio and others Intellectually
sought to have machine tools put on the
free list, while Representative Hensley
of Missouri led vain fight against the

the democrats urged free zinc In place OF
the 10 per cent duty.

resentative Baker of California to trans

graph, telephone and other poles to the

First Real Break From the
Ways and Means Com
mittee Rates
ANTI-FREE SUGAR
PROGRAMME PLANNED
Prospect for All-Day Fight When the
Sugar Schedule Is Taken Up
Today-WooI Schedule
Disposed OF

Washington. April 1i.-Shoe machinery,
now taxed 45 per cent, and on which a
reduction to p per cent was proposed by
the tariff revision bill, was ordered trans
ferred to the free list by the democratic
caucus of the House today. 1t was the
first real break of the democrats from the
ways and means committee rates, though
earlier in the day the caucus had an
amendment offered by Representative
Palmer of Pennsylvania, a member II
the committee, and in charge of metal
schedule, under which lead, containing
strain of less than 3 per cent of zinc,
would be admitted free of duty.
For three days there had been a great
deal of speech making from members
with and without grievances, but all
proposed had been steadily
voted down with majorities satisfactory
to the democratic leaders. The shoe ma
amendment, proposed by Repre-
sentative Borland of Missouri, and car
ried by viva voce vote without substan-
tial opposition from the members OF the
committee. followed lively discussion
which Representatives Oglesby of New
York, a new member, arraigned the So
called United Shoe Machinery trust, and
pointed to the free list as an opportunity
to let in competition.

Anti-Free Sugar Programme

The other development of the day was
the agreement of Louisiana members on
an anti-free sugar programme in the
caucus, with Representative Broussard
on guard, to offer series of amendments
to the sugar schedule to represent the
sentiment OF the Lhihsian cnne inefests
and the beet sugar sections.
The sugar schedule will be taken up TO-
morrow with an all day fight in prospect.
Representative Hardwick of Georgia
and others are insistent upon immediate
free sugar The Broussard amendments
would make the hundred weight rate on
96 degree sugar from Cuba sl.14 ON pas
sage of the bill, S1,056 on June 80, 1916, and
81 2-10 cents on June 80, 1919, instead of
s134S, as under the present law, and
$1.00iS in the committee bill This would
mean, by comparison with the present
tariff law a reduction of roundly 20 cents
at the outset, 20 cents in 1916, and 81 cents
in 1919. On 100 degree sugar from sources
other than Cuba the Broussard amend
ment would make net reduction from
the present rates of 371a cents per hundred
pounds on passage of the bill, 90 cents in
1916, and 81 cents in 1919.

BOY OF 10 GETS II YEARS
Supreme Court Afiirms Decision OF
Lower Court. Tirteen- Year-Old
Ollie TayIOr Gets Sentence.

ATLANTA-An elsven-year SEN
tence for the theft of five cents bot
tie of a soda. water fountain drink
was affirmed here today by the Geor-
gia supreme court against Ollie Tay-
lor, 10 years old. Today's decision
ends a struggle by o. F. Taylor, faith
er of the boy, to have the sentence
SET aside.
The lad pleaded guilty three years
ago to stealing the bottle. He was
only ten years old then and was SEN
fenced to the Fulton Industrial Farm
until he was 81.
The supreme court made no COM
ment on the sentence, it being held
that the matter rested with the trial
court. In this connection the decis-
ion reads:
The slight value of the article
stolen is a matter to be given weight
by the court imposing the sentence
but it does not nullify the sentence
once it is passed properly"
Chief Justice Fish and Justice At
kinson of the court dissented from
the majority opinion.
