Condition Of Pope Plus Is Not Showing Improvement

Vatican City, Feb. o.-(UP)-A
 general weakening" of the Popes
 condition occurred this afternoon
 . semi-official Vatican source an-
 nounced at 6 D. m. The announce
 ment specifically denied Q report
 that bronchial pneumonia had set in. Deep anxiety over the Pope's
 condition was manifest. Three days
 of prayer for his health were or-
 dered in all Rome churches, the
 semi- -official news agency an- nounced. The seini-official af1- nouncement said that tho Pope's
 grippe had become worse with ris- Ing fever and general weakening
 which worried Vatican circles.
 "The Pope's indisposition is per-
 sisting, with depression and general
 weakening of strength, accompanied by slight fever. The Pope's general condition is stationary"
 An unimpeachabl Vatican source
 said that pr. Giovanni Ricchi, the Pope's physician, spent the entire night In an arm chair beside the
 Pope's bed. A second physician, pr. Bianchi Cesa, was called in this
 morning.
 Despite the obvious gravity of the reports, it was asserted that the Pope's condition was not one to
 cause alarm and that his physicians hoped that by means of the special attention they gave him, he would be able to attend the tiring cere- monies set for this week end--cele- brations of the anniversaries of the
 Latern treaty with Italy and his
 coronation.
 It was said that the Pope went
 to bed ct 10 ?. m. and awoke ct ' 4 this morning after calm and rest- full night. pr. Cesa pronounced the Pope's condition satisfactory, and it
 was asserted that the Pope himself insisted he was feeling well and would attend the week end cere- monies. It was added that pr. Ric- chi spent tho night beside the Pope only as q precaution.
 A semi . official Vatican source said at 6 D. in. that the Pope had suffered q new attack of cardiac asthma lasting 50 minutes. Tho attack was 50 alarming, the source said, that intimate Vatican circles fear for the life of the pon- tiff. After tho new attack of cardiac

This form of city charter is known as the cincinnati plan," because it has provided Cincinnati, for more than twelve years, with the reputa- 'tion of being the ''best governed city in America" It is also beneficial in other American cities today, and is rapidly spreading ot all parts of the country. Thus, there are militant citizens organizations in Cambridge, Waltham, Quincy and Springfield, Mass; Central Falls and Providence, R. T.; Schenectady, N. r.; Philadel- phia and Pittsburgh, Pa; Indian- apolis, Ind; Chicago, Ill; Minne- apjolis, Minn.; and probably else- where, who are seeking this form of government to cure the ills now prevailing in those cities. It is re- garded by authorities on municipal government as being the best system of government yet devised.
 Certainly the people of Cincinnati and these other cities are no more intelligent or civic-minded than the people of Waterbury. In community spirit and in democratic ideals, Waterbury need not take @ second plyace to any city in the country. If the plan is so successful in these other places, why should 1t not be equally successful here? AS Al Smith Is wont to say, Lets look at the record"
 The city manager plan, without P. R., is in use in over 450 munich palities in the United States today ranging in population from Polk City, Fla, with 222 inhabitants, to Cincinnati, Ohio with 45l, l,160. With only two or three exceptions (which only go to prove the rule), all of these cities are well governed. In each population group the city man. ager cities have the lowest average tax rates; their bonded indebtedness is steadily declining; and the citi- zens get more and better service for every tax dollar spent.
 P. R., without the city manager plan, is used successfully in New York city, and has placed the con- trol of the city council in the hands of the people and taken 1t away from Tammany Hall.
 The city manager plan, with P. R, which is the "Cincinnati plan," is in use in Cincinnati, Toledo and Hamilton, Ohio; Wheeling, W. Va: Boulder, Colo; and was recently adopted by the voters of Yonkers, N. Y. It is being sought in Provi- dence, Philadelphia and the other cities named heretofore in this sketch. The cities operating under this plan have made remarkable strides under 1t. If 1t can be done there, 1t can be done here-or our faith in the people of Waterbury is sadly misplaced.
 The Citizens Good Government ass soclation Is now advocating that the people of Waterbury be given 6 chance to vote ives" or mo" on tht question of adopting this form o! government, at c special election ts be held soon after the governor ap. proves the charter bill. That is faii enough, and is in accord with tho principles of home rule. YOU, as q voter who may be called upon te

 On their first appearance, the wan morning after their battle, they both were beturbaned with bandages, red with evidence of the gory exchange between them.
 John Sykes, 54, of i9 Vine street, wielder of the axe, was sentenced to 30 days on Q drunkness charge, 60 days on charges of assault and breach of the peace, found guilty on all counts. Then the court suspended sentence for one year. instructing that the man report to the probation officer, Emil Hummel, every two weeks.
 Joseph Johnson, 34, of l4 La- fayette street, was fined $i0 and costs and placed on probation on the assault charge the other counts nolled.
 Seems Sykes, owner of the apartment on Vine street, return ed to his home on the date of the battle and found someone had furnished his menage, Mrs. John son and his housekeeper board- ing there, with liquor. Johnson admitted to 1t and the fracas ensued.
 Both men appeared to have resumed friendly relations and left the courtroom together, the younger giving place to Sykes as Q matter of precedence through the door to the place where fines may be paid.

 Thereafter, 1t was 5aid, the Pope rested more easily.
 Before the treatment became ef- fective, 1t was understood, the Pope fainted several times during the cardiac attack. Those spells of un- consciousness caused greatest con- cern at the Vatican.
 Two physicians and two male nurses were constantly ct the bed- side of the Pope. It was understood that the physicians were gravely concerned because of the "weaken- cd fibre" Of the patient.
