2 WORLD MOm SEND TELEGRAMS TO PAPAL PALACE Vatican Flooded With Que ries as to Condition of the Pope; Pontiff's Sis ters With Him PIUS SPEAKS ONLY IN VENETIAN TONGUE 'Don't Cry, So Much," He Tells Relatives, Who At tend Him Constantly \he morning nnd one in the evening, ■ ipf's ( omlition was set forth as hopeful. but It lias been learned that 'lie bulletins as prepared by the at tending physicians have come under the censorship of the papal secretary of Plate. The explanation now is given that Doctors Marchlafava an<l Amid embody in their bulletins all details with reference to the pulse and respira tion, in addition to other pathological conditions. These bulletins are sub mitted to Cardinal Merry del Val, and when they reach the public: they lack what ti-w papal secretary considers un aiid undesirable for publi- I Itv. After midnight there was an increase In the temperature of the patient, and the fact that a large quantity of dle fnfectantl had been brought into the sick apartment was considered as an indication that the bronchitis had de veloped into pneumonia. The monK, Yives y Tuto, brother of the cardinal, who had been for some time the con f< saor of the pope, entered his room .Mid remained there 45 minutes. Tt was supposed that lie confessed the pontiff. I'VLUK «.KOIXDS PATROLLKU Extraordinary measures were taken late at night by the Vatican authori ties. The entire Vatican gendarmie was on duty, patrolling both within and outside the apostolic palace. At the same time the Italian government organized a special police service around the Vatican. Great alarm was occasioned about lock when the pope, during a strong fit of coughing, emitted a quantity of blood. Those present be lieved he was dying and rushed for a doctor and Cardinal Merry del Val. The latter, on reaching the bedside, restored aim, saying that probably the pope would feel great relief, as the Be« >>f blood was doubtless due to the rupture of small vessels in the throat. ■or Amici, in a statement made : :ght prior to the extremely seri ronditlon which arose, said: condition of the pope la grave. I nit not alarming. We can overcome .sent crisis. Then if he follows the doctors' advice he may live some years more. "The present relapse was due to the reluctance of the pontiff to submit strictly to medical regime. The mo ment lie feels better he wishes to re sume his ordinary occupations, which cause loss of strength and great dan per." will —ii coroHrvG fits From midnight until r> o'clock in tli? morning the pope dozed quietly and ap <i to be relieved by the rest. An hour later, however, he began to show restlessness, had several coughing fits and found difficulty in breathing. On this account he insisted upon rising. The attendants, although reluctant to do so, were forced to comply with his request, but fie returned to bed within »t few minutes, unsteadily, -pillows were piled behind him and he half sat nnd half reclined, that position bein;* more favorable for easier respiration. Professor SCarchiafava arrived at the Vatican shortly after 7 a. m., and, with Dr. Antlcf, made a thorough examina (i<,n of thi •- This disclosed n in the thorax, more pro nounced on the left side than on the right i.-sued the fol lowing bulletin: "The day IMISSed off tranquilly.

The subsidence of the fever caused relief, and the oalj serious apprehen* la to be found in the weakness <>f the heart. This in a measure lms lOtmterbalaoced by a decrease in Ibumlnuria, Indicating that the kidneys were resuming their normal functions. The bulletin was published in a spe cial edition of the f )ss<-r\ a torn Ro iii.iiio. which ordinarily does not ■pub lish on Sunday, but it was considered desirable to keep the public informed .i> to the progress of the pope. The isi» re rind niece drove and the pope, observ ing unmistakable signs of weeping, said in the Venetian dialect: "Pon't cry m> much, it is true t am 111, hut let us hope in God." iPBAfCi OM.\ l> VR\ETIAV Since he became weaker, it has been remarked that the pontiff speaks only in Venetian, even with thus" who are not so familiar with that dialect.

That is year on March If; Which was in Easter week, but it wan not cele brated on that occasion because of the pope's illness, the celebration being postponed until today. I , \l\lL FLAGS AHK HOISTKIJ The papal white and yellow flags, Vi o\vevei, were hoisted <»ver the bronze doors of the Vatican and in the eour.t yard. Ail the military bodies wore full dress uniforms. It was considered a good indication that Cardinal Merry <lel Val, the papal secretary of state, attended the great function at the V of St. John Lateran. The crisis In the pope's illness will come in the next 24 hours and, itv or der to meet the decisive conditions, the physicians have been regularly adniln ng heart stimulants. These h«ve ii effect not only of lowering the but reducing the body heat.

Professor Marchiafava In an inter view, declared that the condition of the pope should not be called grave, even If the fever, as was very likely, should return in the night. It could not be said that the patient was woree, as the disease was merely following its course, and the pontiff was facingcon ditions with the greatest serenity.' On being asked whether the pope would survive the present attack, Dr. Merchiafava replied confidently: "I firmly believe that he will re cover."' Heavy showers, falling almost con stantly, discouraged the faithful ana curious alike from keeping watch un der the windows of the palace. An un broken current of visitors poured in and out of St. Peter's all day long. This is usually the case when the capital is filed with strangers, but only a few today recognized the windows of the pope's chamber, with their closed shut ters, and stopped to gaze on them. Motors from the embassies to the papal court drove up during the after noon. The occupants made inquiries as to the pontiff's condition and wrote their names in the visitors' book. Many carriages stopped at the entrance, seek ing the latest news from the guards. FLOOD OF TELEGRAMS Telegrams of inquiry poured into the Vatican throughout the day from every quarter of the world. Tha. number was so great that individual answers were imposible. The pope showed the keenest interest in the messages and told Cardinal Merry del Val to keep them all so that he could read and an swer them when his condition im proved. The messages included inquiries from Emperor "William of Germany and Em peror Praneis Joseph of Austria-Hun gary and the kings of Spain and Sax ony. All the churches were crowded this morning. Prayers were intoned for the suffering pontiff. All the cardinals in Rome. Including Secretary of State Merry del Val, at tended a solemn function at the basilica of St. John of L&teran today, where Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, dean of the sacred college, pontificated at high mass. The diplomats, prelates, heads of the religious orders and members of the papel court attended the ceremony, which closed the octave of the celebra tion in commemoration of the decree of religious freedom issued by Emperor Constantlne.

Drip phiK with perspiration and gasping for breath. '"Happy Jack" finally emerged, while a very much frightened hotel force breathed sighs of relief. Hγ. Beaufort, who is well known In Pan Francisco as a wine agent, stepped into booth No. 4 to telephone regarding a dinner engagement he expected to keep. When he finished he found that the door was jammed, and in spite of all hi* efforts the opemator. lees than 15 feet away, was not aware of his plight. When attention was at last attracted to him no one dared to break the glass door for fear of cutting him. When he tried it from inside he discovered that it was wire glass and would not yield. Engineer Haley of the hotel was sum moned, and he cut the look off. So soakd were his clothes with per spiration that Mr. Beaufort hati to go home to change them, and so was late to the dinner regarding which he tele phoned with disastrous results.

F»—Advt, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY. APRIL 14, 1913. ARNOLD FAVORS MERGER WITH U.R. IN TROLLEY DEAL Co-operative Development ' With Municipal Owner ship as Goal Urged as a Solution Almost any reasonable working plan is better than a continued legal war fare over street railway transportation, declares Bion J. Arnold in his plans for future control of the Sao Francisco traction lines by gradual acquisition. This ifl hl3 expression of his basic idea: "It appears to be hopeless to attempt any statement upon which franchise values could be positively determined without adjudication of certain legal questions involved. It, therefore, re mains to accept a difficult situation and evolve a new plan of action whereby the uncertainties of the past and pres ent may be replaced by a practical working plan for the future, which will obtain the one essential result—ade quate service.'" Mr. Arnold proposes final municipal ownership in the latest of his reports made public, but declares that, the present municipal system should'fol low a policy of co-operative develop ment rather than competition, with the object of ultimate incorporation into a unified system through purchase or lapse of existing franchises. The backbone of the traction sys tem—the Market street railway fran chises—expire in 1929, according to the e-lty'B interpretation, although the United Railroads company asserts that they hold out until 1932 (about 115,000,000 In earning capacity being involved In this difference). Of the Importance of a complete set tlement by then, Mr. Arnold says: "The fragmentary nature of the rail way system then remaining to the United Railroads, practically dictates a radical change then," if not long be fore. Virtually no uncertainty exists except in the case of the Market street railway franchises, and when these ex pire the company's yearly earnings wil be reduced nearly two-thirds." His general recommendations are: Ultimate municipal ownership, but unified operation with a uniform fare and universal transfers; gradual ac quisition and ultimate recapture of complete property assisted by decapl talization; underlying property con sidered as a continuing investment; municipal control of service, equip ment, operation and audit; profit sharing plan with compulsory exten sions proportionate to earnings. UNIFIED COMMISSION He recommends putting the balance of power in the hands of a unified pub lic service commission "with repre sentation for each utility in a voting board, unrestricted by local political influence." Continuing he says Regulation should Mist as a means of in terpreting corporate questions for the benefit of the people In order to permit corporations to escape the burden of political activity, and in order to aerure operating conditions during their franehtiii' term* that will insure protection to iiiTe-itod capita! with a fair profit. Therefore, public service commissions which esitt rafejaet to tke vvhtm of the Appointive political power • without due process of Impeachment I. or whose fleciMoti* ami orders may be laterfered with or comiteiiiiiiiKifd by niiniicipiil political Ihhllom. evr>u though superior in the inmii<i]>:il orgajtiM- Hoik. m not likely d> do effective work , , render Jpri ii::il pquitnhle licoisii.ns, or conduct theni shlvis .1-. an efn'cieut nu'di.'u'j between corpora tion anil pill.He. While the legislative functions of fr;imlii«e granting should coutlnue to be vested in the board of supervisors, representing the electorate, the actual determination of questions relatlre to rates, service, extensions, equipment, accounting, etc., ehouM be vested in the cominisglon as al ready contemplated, but with the additional pro vision that th»- commUnion should be clothed with authority to enforce Its decisions subject to review by the state railroad commission or the courts. The actual management of municipal utilities and the Niipervliion of private ones should be vested entirely In the commission, with ndnilu lstration by men having sufficient technicHl ex perience to insure results basod upon scientific method.-. A unified public service commission covering nil utilities i« in my judgment essential, with ;i departmental plan of organisation: the ehnir mnii to perform the function of arbitrator, and !(• be relieved frmn changing political sentiment through a reasonable tenure of office. In the selection of chairman-arbitrator it Iβ important that thi* should be done by joint action of municipality and participating e«>r porations, and if agreement Is impossible a selection by bocm member of the state Judiciary could lie made in the manner of a special master in receivership yroceedings, PRACTICAL ADMINISTRATION The above commission would constitute :i (Sβ operative organization for tin- practical adminis tration of public utility business, and not a court of Jtutiee, which latter function. I believe, i* outside of the scope, of such a body ac Iμ needed in Nuti FrniieUcir to work <mt its problems.

A spectator, a pensioned royal Hal berdier, pushed. forward so impetu ously to offer his congratulations to the monarch that he was mistaken for another assassin and arrested. He was, released as soon as the mistake was discovered. A young Frenchman, who was standing beside Allegro, also was arrested, but it does not appear that he was connected with him. ' The crowds made a determined at tempt to lynch Allegro, who was rushed into a house and kept there until an automobile ambulance escorted by mounted police transferred him to police headquarters. QFEE.\ GREATLY ALARMED King Alfonso was forced to tell of what he lightly called "the incident" to Queen Victoria and the dowager queen, Maria Christina, who were greatly alarmed. The king smilingly allayed their fears. He had hardly been back In the palace 10 minutes when an immense clamor arose. The two squares on which the place looks iv«e black with people of all classes, dp»irous of show ing , their Joy at the king's safety and their admiration for his bravery. The king went to the balcony and acknowl- I edged their cheers and then sought th*»' queen, and the two stood bowing to the throngs for several minutes. The police Investigations have es tablished that Allegro was recently expelled from France as an anarchist, after which he went to Barcelona. He came to Madrid a month ago and ob tained employment in a carpenter shop. He worked there until Friday. It is stated that fluting his first examination Allcjrro de-iared that on seeing the kiri£ pass lie was seined with a sudden evil impulse, and having a revolver in his pocket drew it out.

FACTIONS BATTLE TODAY Conservatives Send Letter to the Progressives Which Arouses Indignation Insinuation, Says President General, That Election Will Be Unfair (ontiuurd Prom Pnj&e 1 favor today, for those with a thirst for politics could m< k up many crumbs of information, even from the women who boasted the greatest silence and non partisanship. Such remarks as "I have full in structions for Mrs. Story, but I cer tainly am not Koing to talk politics." or, "I only hope Mrs. Horton will win, so there," or. "Mrs. has the whip hand and for once I am with tlie party in the lead." It was in the vicinity of the credentials corner that a woman "on the inside" announced that under the very latest instructions Mrs. Horton has the whole of New York. Mrs. Story, however, claims that sho has not only the majority but nine tenths ef the New York delegation. This assertion was recently indorsed by Mrs. Mary E. Augsbury, state regeut of New, York. President and Mrs. Wilson will re ceivo the Continental congress at tho White House at 2:45 o'clock Thurs day. For this event the delegates and members will don their most splendid costumes. \O WORDS ARE MINCED Delegates were discussing the latest development in the already bitter cam paign—a letter sent today by the ex ecutive committee of the conservative ' party, headed by Mrs. Story, to Mrs. Scott, the retiring head of the society. This letter declared that the mem bership of the society was restive un der a fear "that the high ideals upon which the society was founded to some extent were being set aside for the lesser considerations of political ad vantage," and urged that steps lie taken to insure fair treatment tf> each candidate for president general. It criticised members of the credentials committee for making an advance poll and for signing a circular advocating I the election of Mrs. Horton, submitting I that they should not be permitted to pass upon delegates' credentials. WANT FAIR REPRESENTATION It asked: "That fair representation be givpn each candidate on the credentials com mittee; that no delegates be allowed to vote out of order; that prompt'recogni tion on the floor be given conservative leaders; that a copy of the financial reports be given each delegate before the election; that the voting machine be examined before placing in it the names of candidates, and that each candidate be allowed to have a repre- sentative witness the operation of the machine; that a report be ordered on losses involved in the operation of the society's magazine: that members of the credentials committee be barred from the tellers' room, and that the room be kept open at all times." "AMAZED AM) SHOCKED" In reply to the circular, Mrs. Scott issued a statement this- pvenf'ng in which she says: "1 was amazed and shocked beyond words when I was confronted at noon today by two attorneys sent by Mrs. Story to demand that I observe the most elementary rules of common honesty and fairness in conducting the forthcoming ejection. "The direct Implication of this de mand—that minorities have not had. or not likely to have, fair play in elec tions conducted during this administra tion —is gratuitously offensive and with out a shadow of foundation in fact and a reflection upon the fair mlndedness and sense of justice of the entire mem- j beflihip of our splendid organization. "Mr.s. Story will have this year, as \*ht had two yeas ago, a 'square deal' from start to finish. The forthcoming oliMtion will b< conducted with abso lute fairness to all the condidates."
