(thousands GATHER NEAR THE VATICAN Strength of the Pope Further Taxed By His Disinclination To Take Nourishment No Appetite. Bulletin ROME, ITALY, (7 p. m.) ;The condition of the Pope at this Ihour is reported very grave. The crisis is expected tonight. i (National News Association) ROME, Italy, (6 p. m.) Within the last hour the Pope has suffered an alarming increase of temperature. He has grown very restless and shows signs of great distress which has led the physicians to fear that the tendencies toward pneumonia are developing. Two additional beds were placed in the antechamber of the Pope's apartments for additional night watchers. Cold, heavy rain during the day led the physicians to fear unfavorable results upon the patient. The chief cause for anxiety was that the raw air might provoke a fatal coughing spell or aggravate the symptoms of bronchitis and pneumonia. At noon it was announced that the condition of the Pope had remained stationary throughout the morn ing. - - i CONDITION AT NOON. ROME, April 14. At 1 o'clock this afternoon it was announced that the condition of Pope Pius X had remained stationary throughout the morning and that hour showed no change. . Following the suggestion of Dr. Marchiafava, all the cardinals in Rome have written entreaties to the Pope to follow the doctor's orders so that he might recover. At neon the papal doctors and tho cardinals of the Curia visited the office of Cardinal Merry del Val, papal secretary of state, to receive formally news of the Pope's condition. They were informed that Drs. Marchiafava and Arnica were satisfied with the condition of the pontiff and believed that he would eventually regain his normal health unless he again disobeyed the orders of the physicians and overtaxed his strength. In addition to the complicated illmess which his attacked the Pope his strength has been further taxed by a disinclination to take nourishment. The pontiff has no appetite and has repeatedly told the doctors that even jthe thought of eating is repugnant to t lm. Prelate Spits Blood. Fear has developed that the Pope's lungs are affected and there is concern lest pneumonia work havoc with the aged prelate. This fear has arisen from a slight trace of blood in his ex ipectoration during a severe coughing ifit early today. It was reported that unless the pontiff took a turn for the better still another doctor would, be caUed Ux consultation this afternoon. If this course be followed the fourth, physician would be Dr. Bastlanelli, the nerve specialist, who attended J. Pierpont Morgan. Dr. Oaggiati has - been giving assistance rto Dr. Amicl and Dr. Marchiafava Wince Sunday. ' The guards about the Vatican have toeen doubled in order to insure absolute Qui et.

MEETINGS OPENED AT BAPTIST CHURCH Evangelist Williams Spoke on Transforming Power of the Gospel.

The "Transforming Power of the Goasel" was the subject of Evangelist Luke P. Williams at the Baptist church last Sunday morning. "The gospel stands on Its record as the power to change things for the better," he said. "The difference between the hovel that is called home in China and the real home in America is measured by the gospel. Different sections fh the same city in our iown land can always be identified by their contentment and comfort, or strife and misery, as communities where the people are influenced by the .gospel of Jesus Christ or not. The same thing is true in th individual, j It is not hard to tell a gospel man. His attitude towards the great questions of life, his stability and contentment distinguish him from the selfish man of the world and the abandoned wretch of the street" In spite of the inclement weather there was a good attendance at both morning and evening services. At the meeting of the brotherhood in the afternoon the men who made the everyuember canvass of the church the Sunday before made their reports. The result of their canvass was very satisfactory. The Evangelist's subject for the meeting tonight will be "Every One Minded His Own Business." COflTRACJJlWARDED On Improvement of National Road East.
