. The program as heretofore printed was
carried out in full. The pipers showed
.the result of much thought and were well
received especially were the remarks of
Hon. L. C. Boyle of Kansas City formerly
Attorney General of Kansas appreciated.
His address was along the line of the
pending prosecutions In the Federal Court
against the secretaries of several State
associations for being engaged in a com-
bine alleged to be In restraint of trade.
It was remarked by the speaker that;
the secretary of the Texas association
was not included in the list of defendants
is Just why he did not know. It was his
Idea that neither of them come under
.the provisions of the Sherman antitrust
law and he expressed the belief that no
convictions would ever be obtained by
the Government.

THE HOLY FATHER
' SUFFERED RELAPSE
"V ' ' A
Pope's Condition Considered Grave
"following Benetted. Attack of In-
v. fluent With Complication 1
A "
(Aitociaud Prea Report.)
ROME April t. Pope Pius X has suf-
fered a velapae and as is usual in re-
lapses his condition is considered graver
than that occasioned by his Illness of last
month. The present attack began with
a fainting fit and Professor Marohiafava
tha Papal physician was summoned late
last nlght He visited the Pontiff again
early this morning .and several times
during the dgy. ' i
' The official statement given out at the
Vatican simply says:
.''The Pope Is suffering from a relapse
of the Influensa" . . ..
.' The Oaservatore Romano the Vatican
organ published the following official
statement this evening: '
"Since yesterday .evening the Holy
Father has been Indisposed with a r-
4apse of influenza. ' His condition is caus
ing no. anxiety but he requires) much
rest." "'V.. : .
The trutli Is that the Pope's relapse is
causing gseat anxiety because It was not
expected 'and for the further reason that
at h(s advanced age there ' is the ever-
present danger of his being unable to
withstand the drain on his strength.
During his recent Illness the Pope xvas
msich depressed but as he regained his
usual health fhts distressing symptom dis-
appeared. With the return of the in-
fluensa depression is one of the symp-
toms that has" again been manifested.
Cardinal Merrjr Del Val. In renlv
to
questions concerning the exact condition
of. the Pope asserted that the official
Statement was absolutely correct. Ha
said the Pope was suffering only from a
fresh slight attack ot influenia which
had caused an Insignificant rise- in tem-
perature. This condition - he added
needed greater care than the former at-
tack and a more prolonged rest. It in-
dicated that the constitution of the Pon-
tiff which he considered strong was
easily affected by any active fatigue or

View tonight paid that the ' alarm was
not Justified? He expressed the hope
that the attending physicians would be
able te overcome the disease quickly if
the Pontiff were allowed complete rest.

NEW YORK ' AprU 1 When a bomb

- The choice of a Senator In Maryland
for the place now held by Senator Jack-
son would have been made by th legis-
lature next ear under the old system. A
pedal session of the Maryland Legisla-
ture will be necessary to provide law by
which a popular election could occur next
year. In the opinion of members of the
Senate no successor can be appointed by
the Governor tinder the new prevision
when Senator Jackson's term expires un
