ROME. April 15. (Tuesday, 2 A.
M.) The Pope has rallied in a won
derful .manner from the serious at
tack from which he suffered Sunday.
He appeared to be on the point of
death Sunday night, but the physi
cians' report late last night indicate
that the danger point, for the present
at least, has been passed.
Dr. Amici paid a visit to the sick
room shortly after midnight. Although
the Pope's temperature has increas
ed slightly, he found the general con
dition satisfactory. He administered
a heart stimulant, and shortly the
Pope went to sleep.
Throughout the day the tempera
ture was normal, the pulse remaining
about 85 and the respiratiion 26.
This indicated a considerable amel
ioration in the bronchial symtoms,
which was further shown by easier
breathing and freedom for long per
iods from coughing.
In addition thi Pope was able to
take some nourishment, and he show
ed much interest in what was hap
pening about him. When Professor
Marchiafava allowed the Pontiff's
nephew to enter the room there was
an affecting scene. The frail and
aged Pontiff and the young and ro
bust priest embraced tenderly, the
latter being unable to restrain his
emotion at finding the Pope so chang
ed physically.
Professor Mariafava repeated to
night his assurances that if prudence
were . exercised the Pope would re
cover. He declared that his examina
tion of the chest showed that the in
flammation, which yesterday was
marked on the left side, has been
checked and was dimishing, while
the bronchial sounds were less noticeable.

Pupils and teachers of the Oregoi
City public schools will be given a
half-holiday vacation on Friday
afternoon, April 25. This will be
Booster Day, and inasmuch as prac
tically all of the students in the Bar
clay and Eastham buildings have
agreed to march in the school parade
on Saturday morning, the half-holiday
was extended. The concession
was extended by the board of direc
tors at their regular monthly meet
ing Monday night, and considerable
discussicn ensued over the entrance
of the children into the parade, some
fear being expressed over the wisdom
of permitting the pupils to partici
pate in a parade in wliich stock will
have a prominent place. City Super
intendent Tooze gave voice to the
thought that the children are the
best stock in Oregon City and should
lead the parade.
The school board devoted consider
able time to a discussion of the
drinking of city water at the school
buildings. All of the fountains have
been shut off for several months, and
boiled water is furnished for drink
ing purposes, but water is running
from the faucets in the manual train
ing, domestic and chemical rooms at
the high school, and notwithstanding
the warning against the consumption
of unboiled water for drinking pur
poses, many of the pupils drink the
wSter from the faucets whenever
the desire is present and opportunity
offers. The directors finally ordered
signs put over the faucets to make
the warning against drinking water
more emphatic. It was reported that
in many instances the boys at the
high school had opened pipes with
their bicycle wrenches to obtain city
water. -
It developed at the meeting that
the district is up against a difficult
problem for space for manual trl
ing work, which is handled in one
small room at the high school, and it.
was suggested that a manual trail
ing building be erected at the north
east corner of the high school block.
This is the plan followed in Portland
and a number of manual training
buildings have been erected there at
a cost of $1800 each. The taxpayers
may be asked this summer to author
ize such an expenditure. There are
more than 200 students enrolled in
the manual training work, which is
one of the most interesting depart
ments in the public schools.
The directors authorized the pur
chase of two snare drums, one for
each of the graded school buildings.

loder called auto
"speeder; kills dog
John W. Loder, prominent lawyer,
will be given a hearing today by Re
corder Stipp on a charge of automo
bile speeding. Michael Long, chief of
the fire department, and also a spec
ial policeman, has sworn out a war
rant against Mr. Loder charging him
with speeding on Main street between
Twelfth and the Abernethy bridge.
He declares the autoist was going at
a rate of at. least 25 miles an hour
on that stretch of the street late
Monday afternoon. The speed limit
in the city is 10 miles an hour. But
ti:e warrant is not the exter.t of Mr.
Loder's troubles. Soon after it was
sworn out and while he was on his
way home his machine struck a dog
on Singer Hill and so mangled it that
Chief of Police Shaw killed the
animal. The accident to the dog,
however, was not due to Mr. Loder
violating the speed limit because
Singer Hill is steep.-

Howard Mass, 8-year-old-son of E.
T. Mass, sheriff, who February 7
wrote a "blackhand" letter to Velma
Allen, nine years of age, because she
refused to reciprocate his affections,
is in trouble again. This time, the
precocious lad has the measles, and
he is firmly convinced that the dis
ease is the result of his having writ
ten the threatening letter, and de
clares that it is severe punishment.
The missile-'to the girl was as follows:
"Velma Allen: There is going to
be a . bunch of robbers and they are
going to capture you at midnight
February 28, 1913, and they have
snakes with them.
Yours truly,
- "The Man With the Crooked
Thumb,"
The boy had drawn a skull and
cross hones at the bottom of the
sheet of paper and the envelope was
sealed with a red cross stamp. Asked
why he had used this stamp young
Mass replied, "I wanted to convey
to Velma that the ambulance would
get her." " .
