YOUTH SEIZED
WITH DAGGER
At VATICAN

VATICAN CITY, March II
G.N.SO.-The unconcealed dis
pleasure of a foreign student
when denied an audience with
Pope Plus today gave rise to
hastily Squashed rumorS that the
young man had plotted to "assas-
sinate" the Pope.
Search of the youth revealed a
long, thin dagger hidden in his
clothing. He told police this was
a national custom"
The student, Carlos Margain,
of Mexico, returning home after
taking a chemistry course in Ber'
lin, presented himself at the Vati-
can and asked to be received by
His Holiness with other pilgrims.
Vatican authorities refused, say
ing he did not have the required
recommendations. 1t was empha-
sized that his Mexican nationality
had nothing to do with the re-
fuSal.
Margain started to make a
scene, and was escorted out of
Vatican City by a Vatican gen.
darme, who turned him over to
Italian police.
After an investigation, authori-
ties put him aboard a train for
Trieste, whence he will sail for
New York aboard the Saturnia.
Vatican authorities, while re-
luctant to discuss the affair, ad-
mitted Margain acted eccentric
ally and in a manner that aroused
suspicion.

SCARLET FEVER
HERE BRINGS
WARMING

Scarlet fever has reached mod
crate epidemic proportions in the
District. according to a statement
today by the Medical Society of
the District. The statement
urged parents to observe their
children closely each morning for
symptoms before sending them to
school.
The malady usually begins with
a higl. fever, vomiting, sore
throat and headache, but often
there are mild symptoms which
escape notice. The society urged
parents to keep children from
school at the slightest sign of the
malady and summon a physician.
While there is an increase in
the malady at this season., the
statement declared the increase
is greater than normal now.

FUND To FIGHT
OYSTERPE
ASKED ANEW

President Roosevelt may recon
slider his opposition to the appro,
priation of money to study shell
fish pests which are said to be
running oyster beds along the
Atlantic Coast.
Senators Trammell and Flet
cher of Florida called on the
President today and talked to
him about the devastating effect
upon the oyster beds from the
Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf OF
Mexico.
Leaving the White House, Sen
ator Fletcher said:
"The President vetoed an ap-
preparation of $5O0,OOO to study
this pest, but there is an amend
ment to the Commerce Depart
ment appropriation bill carry
ing half this sum for the same
purpose. The House struck out
the half million dollar item
when the President vetoed the
bill, but there is still this $780,"
900 item in the Senate bill, and
unless the President objects, it
can be placed in the House bill
when the conference between
the two Houses meets.
