Governor General Smith has commuted the death sentence of Papa Isio. the black pope of the tribesmen inhabiting the island of Negroes. The government believed that if Isio were executed one of his followers would claim to be Isio reincarnated and thus renew the trouble that led to the "black Dope's" apprehension and sentence to pay the extreme penalty for his crimes. Governor Smith acted upon the advice of the constabulary, who declared the prisioners followers could be controlled only by keeping him in confinement for life, in a place where the tribes would be certain that he was living.

CHICAGO, March 31-Have the members of the North End Women's Club agreed to don mitts of wool and lace as a protest against the tariff on gloves, or has somebody mistaken the expressed sentiment of the latest meeting? This is the question now agitating the ranks of the organiza tion. Mrs. L. Bracken Bishop made the suggestion. ''How many women in this club," she asked, "will agree to stop wearing gloves till the matter is settled?" Orris scented white kid gloves were cast hurriedly aside and scores of gloveless hands were raised. No one dissented. This question of a tariff on gloves and hoisery," said Mrs. Bishop, "is going, to do more than anything else to interest women in the cause of suf frage because it is making them real ize how it is for men to legislate against their best interests and how helpless they are in the matter." Now a question arises as to whether the club's action is to be considered binding. "The women all held up their hands when Mrs Bishop asked them." said Mrs. E- C. Portman, president. "But that was an informal acquescence. No resolution of the kind was alopted- I think the women thought it would be a little impractical, going about with' out gloves." "I would be perfectly willing to go without gloves myself," declared Mrs. Bishop, "if it would do any good or if there was any chance of its doing any good, but perhaps I'm not as con servative as most women. Still that's what they all agreed to do. They all held up their hands." Opium By Tons Hoarded In Bay City Under "Medicine" Act. SAN FRAN'CISCO.March 31, Gloom prevades the smoke dimmed "opium joints" of the Chinese quart er and the ever changing dreams of the smoker are wailing with bitterness because of a ruling received by Col lector o the Port Stratum, from Washington. The government has set its face against indulgence in the delights of the "dope pipe" and pro hibited the importation of opium of anything less than medicinal purity after April 1. That was bnd enough but the hustling importers rushed their orders to the Orient and nearly aJ million dollars worth of the drug was landed here a few days ago. safely stored in the custom house and bonded warehouses, in time, it was supposed, to evade the new regula tion. Now the authorities at Wash ington have instructed Collector Stratton not to allow any opium to leave his possession on or after April 1, and the vast heap of canned dream is doomed to go unsmoked. The government authorities further declare that a careful reading of the pure food and drug law which raises the bars against poppy smoke makes it possible for federal officials to seize and confiscate any opium found any place in the country after April 1, whether marked "Duty Paid," or not If this ruling is enforced the opium importers of San Francisco stand to lose a large sum as within the two days alone nearly $2,000,000. worth has been withdrawn from the customs house on payment of duty. It is esti mated that opium valued at between $1,000,000 and $1.5000.000 is now in and near this city, all of which is open to seiiure wherever found.

The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Edward Fitzgerald, the famous translator of Omar Khayyam, was observed with appropriate exercises today at Cambridge University where Fitzgerald was a fellow-student of Tennyson and others who afterwards achieved literary fame. Fitzgerald was born in Suffolk. March 31, 1909, of distinguished Irish and English ancestry. His ample fortune gave him every opportunity to pursue his taste for literature. It was a translator, or rather as a trans- muter, that he became renowned. He began with Calderon, publishing six of his dramas in 1853, and two more 1865. In 1859 came the first of uncounted editions of Omar Khay yam. In 1865 appeared his Agamem non and in 1880 his Oedipus. In comparably the most remarkable of all these renditions was his Omar. His one original work was "Euph ranor," modeled upon the dialogues of Plato.

Hopkins was practically eliminated from the Senatorial race last night by a caucus of the big Re imb'ican chiefs of the Cook County organization, thoroughly secret, but more important politically, than any conference of the powers which has been held in Chicago for years. Hupkins was abandoned as a Sen atorial possibility, it is believed as a result of the conference, a new can didate who has received no votes as yet in the Senatorial deadlock, was tentatively considered for the toga, and all but agreed upon. That man is Roy A. West. It is not believed the effort will be made to elect West this week. Represented in the secret conclave which lrol;e cp just before midnight were u'lcse Republicans stars of the Prst magnitude: Governor Deneen, Mayor Busse, Roy O. West, Post master Campbell, Congressman Lor imer, and John F. Devine. Governor Deneen slipped into Chi cago just after dusk for the confer ence.

Masso and his partner, Italian .fishermen, would certainly have been drowned in the ocean hut for the timely assistance given by the crews of two other fishing craft. Masso and his companion started last night for a deep sea fishing trip, When about five miles off Point Lotna they felt a hard jolt under their boat and the next instant the craft was lifted clear out of the water. It fell hack right side up, but water was pouring in through a rent in the stern. Masso and his partner made frantic attempts to bail out the boat, but seeing that the water was gaining, they shouted to the crews of two other boats to come to their aid. The rescue was quickly made, the two fishermen being taken on board the other boats. The rescued men had only a vague idea as to what struck their boat, but the men who came to their rescue de clare that when the boat was hrown into the air they saw a whale's flukes emerge from the water beneath it.
