ROME, Jan. i9.-Thc condition OF
Pope Benedict was so much better to-
day that he wanted to answer some cor
respondepce, but as his temperature
continued little above normal his
physicians insisted upon absolute re-
pose. DR.. Battistni tonight issued
reassuring bulletin. saying that there
was no cause for alarm. The diagnosis
of influenza. accompanied by bronchial
catarrh. made By Dr.. Battistini. was
confirmed by Professor Ettore Marchi-
avara, throat specialist, and DR.. Big
mani, who were called into consulta-
tlon as a precautionary measure
The physicians have prescribed com
plete rest for His Holiness for at
least ten days. and all audiences are
suspended for that time. the Amer-
can military mission, headed by Cen
cral Henry I. Allen. was scheduled to
visit the Pope before departing to-
morrow for Coblenz. His Holiness is
much annoyed by the restrictions put
on him, as he dislikes passing more
than six hours out Of the twenty-four
in bed.
The illness is the result Of chill
caught last Sunday by the Pope when
he was celebrating mass. and though he
started shiccring and coughing vio-
lently he insisted on finishing the
service and refused TO be carried in

DETROIT, Jan. 19.-Howard Bloom
er, executor Of the estate Of the late
Horace E. Dodge and chairman of the
board OF directors of the Dodge Broth
crs Motor Company, to-day cleared the
mystery surrounding the whereabouts
OF the famous pearl necklace said to
have once belonged to Catherine II,
Empress Of Russia. Mr.. Bloomer, in \
written statement, announced that the
late mil|ionaire automobile manufac-
turer purchased the necklace from Car
tier, Inc, while he was in New York in
the spring Of 1920, paying 1925, 900
for it. The statement follows:
Upon my return to the city Thurs

to the publicity given to the suit
brought by V. l. L. Benzuiat against
Cartier. Inc, Of New YORK, in reference
to the purchase price of the pearl neck
lace purchased by the late Horace e.
Dodge from Cartier, Inc.
Because I feel that in Justice %
Cartier, Inc, statements in reference
to this matter appearing in the press
should be accurate, wish to say that
the late Horace f. Dodge purchased
the necklace in question as a present
for Mrs. Dodge from Cartier, Inc, dur
ing the month of May, 1920. and that
the purchase price was s825,000.
II have to-day given to Cartier, Inc,

The letter referred to by Mr.. Bloomer
follows:
while in New York yesterday my
attention was called to the publicity
that has occurred az an incident to
the suit between V. l. L. Benguiat and
yourselves in reference to the pearl
necklace sold by your company to the
late Horace f. Dodge in the month Of
May, 1920, and upon my return to the
city this morning learned that the
Detroit papers have also given consid-
erable publicity to the subject and that
statements in the papers charge that
Your company received 81, 100000 as the
purchase price of the necklace from
Mr.. Dodge.
I'm order, therefore. that YOU may
have evidence other than your own
statements on the subject Of the price
Of this necklace. ] beg to say thxt
am the executor of the estate of Hor-
ace r.. Dodge and that the records Of
the estate show that Mr.. Dodge pur-
chased the necklace from you during
the month Of May, 1920, and that YOU

to you at any time when needed as evil

II very much regret the publicity
that has been given to the family of
Mr.. Dodge through this matter, but re-

Strike Unchanged.

: There is no change in the strike of the
railroad shopmen. Apparently settle
ment is no nearer than was the case a
week ago. About 81 members of the
Concord military company are still camp
at Rockingham, with no prospect of leav-
ing. Everything is quiet at Hamlet
where about $50 Seaboard shopmen and
machinists are on strike.
The Seaboard has opened its Raleigh
shops with full force, though many are
said to be inexperienced. The fact that
the Raleigh shops are opened and the
Hamlet shops are not has created the re-
port that the Seaboard does not intend to
reopen the Hamlet shops at all; or rather
on the scale heretofore run. If this be
true, it will be blow to Hamlet and to
Richmond county, and it IS to be hoped
that the report is mere rumor. The
reason ascribed to the reported desire OF
the Seaboard to move the large shops
from Hamlet to Raleigh is that the larger
city will afford better protection for the
shops in some possible strike in the
future.

Investigation by Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury in session Wednesday
afternoon is understood to have had url,
der consideration the spiriting away of
the strike.breaker named Reece at Ham
let the night of July l4th. 1t will be re-
membsred that about 9 o'clock of the
night of the l4th man hurriedly entered
Mabrys drug store in Hamlet and asked
to be allowed to use the phone. lmmed-
lately afterwards several men entered
from the rear and several from the front
and seized him. Despite his resistance
the mob hustled him out through the
crowded drug store and putting him in a
car sped out of town. 1t is said the mob
brought him to Rockingham and placed
him on No. IL with the injunction that
he never return to the county. Some
reports even say he was knocked about
and beaten. At any rate, in the scuffie
he lost his hat in Hamlet and this hat is
said to have been afterwards placed in
Langston's jewelry store with this in
scription written above it: " The remains
of the first scab."
And in order to find out if possible the
names of the men who thus took the law
into their own hands, the Grand Jury
doubtless instituted this investigation.
The proprietor of the drug store, and
possibly dozen men and women. it is
said, we're summoned before the Grand
Jury for examination. Since the delib-
erations of the Grand Jury are secret it
is not known as.to the result OF their
investigations or how many or against
whom presentments will be made. This
Grand Jury serves for six months and,
the Foreman can call the body together
at any time for further deliberations.

county, in session this week at
Rockingham, submitted its Report
to Judge B. F. Long in Superior
Court Wednesday, July 26, 1922.
After the Report was read in

The Court also orders that copy Of

requested to carefully consider the report
and to take steps to make provision with
regard to the County Home and the Jail

Jury. The Court stresses their rec
ommendation with regard to awnings in

suggested by the Board of Health and
also the actual requirements of the

gard to the Jail and the County Home.
