FALSE RUMOR THAT
THE POPE WAS DEAD
CAUSES SENSATION

Rome. January "A rumor that
the pope was dead, which spread
rapidly throughout the city to-
night caused intense excitement
for a time. The Vatican was over
whelmed- with inquiries. but at that
very hour the pope was quietly
conversing with Cardinal Basilius
Pomplli, who had not long before
congratulated the pontiff on his
vigorous appearance.
The police instituted an inquiry
relative to the origin OF the rumor
and learned that IL was the work
OF so-called practical joker, who
Ind telephoned to a friend at a
leadins hotel that he knew the
pope was dead.

'If You Want To, Vote Against Me-"
Exclaims Speaker. but Don't
Go Abroad With Vicious
Slander Against
My Name"
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Pen City, January 3.--tspeeIaIa
"rhe lowiy Nazarine used the whip 10
drive the phnrisees from the temple.
aud the people OF this state Will use
the whip of their seorn In rcbukIng
these seIf-estabIished moraIfsts who
disseminate Infamous falschood."
Oscar w. Underwood was speaking
to large audience In the courthouse
of this city. The train on which he
entered the town was more than an
hour late. Despite the bitterness of the
night and the long distances which
many OF the people had to drive. his
audience remained firm.
The speaker was presented by A. Il.
LedNrd, president of the local Tn
derwtod club. He had been Informed
that followers of Captain nobson had
spread the report that on his former
tour OF ST. Clair county he had spoken
TO school children concerning the de-
light of wine drinking" In discussing
that charge he employed the sentence
above quoted. And he added:
Now. if you want to, vote against
me. But don't go abroad with vicious
slander against my name. Than that
report. a more infamous falsehood was
never told"
The Audience Clasps
Having disposed of this local tempest
In a teapot. the speaker took up the
thread of his argument. He tore down
and exploded each of the Hobson
charges. and very frankly discussed his
opponents record, There was an aud
ible gasp of surprise when Mr. Under
wood declared that after service OF
seven years aud despite hts promises
so eloquentlv expressed Captain Hob
son had secured the passage of only one
general blll and that providing for tho
protection of the uniform of the Ui.it-
ed States army licensed negroes in
uniform to dine with white people aud
mingle with them In hotels. He charged
that it was for the protection of these
negro soldiers that Hobson had intro
dueed that bill and by the aid OF north
ern republicans secured its enactment
into law.
'fIe has introduced 26s bills" Mr..
Underwood continued, ''and all but five
disappeared from view. For to put
law on the books you have got TO stay
the five. three were private pension
bills. another constructed bridge
across creek and the fifth licensed
negro soldiers TO dine and be entar-
tanned with white people in the District
of Columbia. This is the legislative
record of my distinguished opponent
DO you think that he can serve you In
the Senater"
Whereupon Mr.. Underwood discussed
the accomplishments OF the democratic
Congress and dealt especially with tho
tariff and currency bills, great rem
edial legislation prepared during the
torrid days OF the summer and during
the absence. he charged, of his oppon-
ent. After discussing all the issues,
the speaker said

scout cruiser Chester bearing John
Lind, the Presidents envoy. back to
Mexico. to continue his observations OF
Mexican affairs, the mystery that has
enveloped Mr.. Iind's visit 70 President
Wilson only was partially cleared
Just why the nations chief exec
utive decided not to permit Mr. Lind
to have any shore leave and took
upon himself the Inconvenience of be
ing trans-shipped four times at sea
has not been explained President Will
son volunteered no explanation but one
of the suppositions current is that he
did not wish the special envoy to be
subjected TO the inqulsition of the
newspaper correspondents. Another
theory is that the President desired to
show Mexico that there is no change
in the American policy and no actual
interruption of Mr.. Lind's mission to
Mexico.
Delay Explained
The peculiar movements of the rev.
enue cutter Winona and the long de-
lay before the President and Mr. Lind
actually met were partly accounted for
today when 1t became known that the
lack of wireless facilities on the rev.
enue cutter had confused plans When
the Chester reported her arrival the
Winona's launch had to make 15-mile
trip to shore and back again before
arrangements could be made for the
Presidents visit.
The President was the. only source
of information concerning the confer
ence with Mr.. Lind. He spoke of it to-
day only in broad genera1ities, declar-
Ing that nothing specific had been de-
veloped and that nothing of any defi-
mite character occasioned the meeting.
The President asserted that he dis
cussed no particular plan of action.

Toward night the rebel firing slackened.
This was followed at once by the silencing
of the federal arms. The United State,
troops along the river, while prepared
for an emergency, had not lost sight of
the possibility that the rebels ammuni-
tion might run out, which would necessi-
tate their falling back temporarily.
The few shots which fell in United
States territory caused no damage. Some
sickness broke out among the refugees.
