''Caruso's condition is as unsahs-+ factory this morning." he said, ''as it was yesterday morning. can ex- press no opinion one way or the other. His condition is very critical and we cannot get away from that fact"
 Word also reached the newspaper men that the singer had rallied from a. second relapse early his morning but was again very weak
 Twelve tanks of oxygen were sent up to the Caruso apartments during the night
 While not minimizing the gravity of his illness, his physicians indicated that if he passed the crisis today he had a fair chance of recovery.
 The tenor was able to sleep some last night and his temperature was lower than at any time he suffered the serious heart attack, following pleurisy late Tuesday night He also was able to take light nourishment. His grim determination not to die, as expressed to those at his bedside. is helping prolong life, the physicians declare.
 His Iapses into inconsistencies be- came less frequent as the night wore on and the anxious watchers thought they detected a steady, although slight change for he better. This was re- fiected in the statement at o'clock this morning that no further buiIe- tins would be issued uni1 10:30 a. m.
 Pasquale Amato, baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company left the Caruso apartments at the Vanderbilt Hotel at a. m., his face wreathed in smiles He said Caruso was "do- ing very we'll indeed"
 Messages of sympathy continued to pour into the Caruso apartment from all parts of the world They came from London, Paris, and Rome. From Havana and Buenos Aires, from every country in which the tenor's voice is known.
 There came too telegram from Joseph F. Tumulty, Secretary to Pres ident Wilson. but the text was not made public.
 So many admirers have been col lecting about the Vanderbilt hotel where the singer is confined that a special police guard had to be sta toned this morning to. keep the crowds moving. Telephone opera tors at the hotel have been workin g overtime replying to inquiries regard ing Caruso'S condition.
 Mr. Caruso's 16year-old son, En- rico Jr, who was called home from school, arrived at the hotel shortly before 10 o'clock. He was crying as he passed through the crowds in the hotel lobby.
 The boy forced a. smile, however, when he entered his fathers room. MT. Caruso was viSibly pleased at seeing his son and greeted him with a feeble but cheerful handclasp. The interview was brief because it was feared his sons prolonged presence might cause over-eXcitement.

Mayor Favors Measure Giving
 Aldermen Pay

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson is in Hartford this afternoon for the pur- pose of appearing before the Com mittee on Cities and Boroughs at a hearing on bill to establish salaries for the aldermen of this city.
 t'I shall favor the bil1," the Mayor said to 8 Times man who saw him just as he was leaving for Hartford by automobile. t'The time has come I believe when we shous pay the al dermen for their services. They are entitled to compensation. As the city grows their duties become more and more arduous. they are obliged to spend a lot of time in the service of the city and for many of them this is a real sacrifice"
 Tt is not the attendance at the regular sessions of the council that bears heavily on them, for that, in itself, is a minor matter, but it is the committee work that takes the time and thought. These meetings are frequent and in addition there is more or less investigating which has to be done and the result is an amount of work which in the aggregate is large and which the city in my opin- ion should pay for"
 While it is true that there is great difference in the amount of work that different committees are called on to do it is obviously inn possible to select the hardest worked committees and pay for their services and let the men on the committees which have few or no matters come before them go unpaid. If any are paid all must be-

Bedding Red Man
 Married
Radical Robert Minor Takes Second Wife and Goes
 to Virginia

New York papers today reported the second marriage of Robert Minor, whose divorced wife, also recently married, is the owner of a tiny bun galow near Putnam park, Redding- Small bungalows are not uncommon, but this is the smallest ever.
 With their neighbors and intimate friends, MT. and Mrs. Isaac Mcbride, the Minors have been objects of much interest and talk since their coming to Bedding for the reason that all four are radicals of Red hue and openly proclaim their views in a community where such doctrines are regarded with adherence.
 Minor obtained first page notoriety soon after the armistice through his arrest by officers of the American army of occupation in Germany on a charge of circulating seditious Iitera- ture- His release after our months Imprisonment was credited to un- known and powerful influences, and his arrest.
 The maiden name of his wife is Van Worst. The couple have gone to Virginia to live. Minors father is a lawyer in Texas. The first Mrs. Minor is 8 Russian Jewess and lived for some time in St. Louis Mo. She was a guest for two summers of the Mo Brides at their cottage here, and later, having outstayed her welcome, as the neighbors will have it. built the little box of a domicile for her self.
 MT. McBride has been travelling in the West this winter, eNpounding his Socialistic faith from the lecture plat form. His wife is the daughter of a former United States Senator, and is extreme and voluble in her "advanc- ed sentiments" as is her husband.

The fact that the states attorney would not consider a plea of man. slaughter was today confirmed by Public Defender Robert DeF'orest, of counsel for Mrs. Mott, who has be- come associated with Attorney Abe Geldulig- It was not stated that such plea had been offered, although this has been the rumor for some days at the County court house.
 From sources connected with tn States Attorneys office it was stated that the trial, so far as counsel for the state is concerned, is ready to proceed The implication therefore would be that time Is being allowed counse1 for Mrs. Mott. There was no question, however, about the position of the prosecution in the case and it was given out without qualification that a murder verdict would be sought.
 There has been some suggestion that plea of guilty to a lesser de- gree of murder than first would be accepted but apparently there is no foundation for such a report.
 Interest in the case of Edward B. Johnston is still keen inasmuch as Johnston aided the state in the con Viction of Wade and, would figure as states witness in the trial of Mrs. Mott.

With his arrest, there followed the arrest of the other six implicated. The investigation of the railroad company is not complete and the loss of s20,- 900 was placed on goods as known to- day. The men are said to have been connected with robberies on which the amount is still undeterm- ined.
 The men will be sentenced this afternoon. In the case of Cole ex- ecution of sentence will be deferred until physicians attending Mrs. Cole

 But only for the sick.
 The thirsty must have an ailnent for which foaming lager will prove a sure cure.

 Attorney General Palmer today is expected to say the word that will ttscrap" some of the prohibition bureaus rules. These rules have all lowed medical whiSkey, but banned beer.
 Dry law chiefs said since the Vol stead law imposes no limitation upon the amount of wine doctors may prescribe, there should be no limit to beer, if doctors think it will ben eft their patients.
