momentous task and the matter is practie
cally settled today, although the outsid-
world has absolutely no accurate knowl-
edge as to whu Leo's successor will be.
Cardinal Rampolla. the pope's secre-
tary OF state, is favOrably regarded by the
foreign cardinals, but he is opposed by
the Roman cardinals, because he is so
closely identified with the present regime
and his ascension to the papal throne
would mean continuance of the present
policy. which the Roman cardinals are
not friendly 10. Cardinal Gibbons is
one of Cardinal Rampolla's most ardent
supporters. because of his strong belief in
the policy pursued by the present
pontiff
There are really but very few cardinals
who are eligible for the papscy. The
most conspicuous Roman cardinal is Mgr.
Sperahno Vannutelli, formerly nunclo at
vienna. lie IS sure TO receive certain
number OF votes at the next conclave,
and under existing circumstances has a
chance of carrying it.
Mgr. Parocchi was for long time one
of the cardinals most eligible for the
papacy, but, whatever may be the expla-
nation, his candidacy has worn itself out.
1t mas been too much talked about.
Of late the opinion has been expressed
that cardinal residing outside the city
OF Rome will be chosen for the tiara.
The Roman cardinals see so much of each
other that many small jealoUsies might
interfere with any concerted action IL
one OF their number.
Among the Italian cardinals outside of
Rome, there are two at this moment who
attract attention--Cardinal Svampa, arch
bishop of Bologna, and Cardinal Ferrari,
arch bishop Of Milan. The latter is not
yet so years old. He is man of energy.

bade all the priests in bis diocese, under
pain of excommunication, to read any
other than the Catholic journals. At
Milan he is esteemed, but he is also fear

the restoration of the statu quo ante at
Rome. and in the ancient pontihcal

I Two other cardinals are also attracting
some attention, but they belong to an in
feriOr plane. though at the lass moment
their chances may increase. They are
Cardinal Sat'o, archbishop OF Venice. and
Cardinal Capecelatro, archbishop CT
Capua. Cardinal SatrO is the creature
of Cardinal Parocchi, whose compatriot
he is and to whom he owes all his ad-
vancement. Cardinal ParocchI will err
deavor probably to pl sli him forward into
the napal seat, in order to govern in his
name. Cardinal Capecelatro, who is

HARD ON TICKET scALpERs


With the new joint traffic association
in operation 1t is believed there viii be
a gradual falling off in the income OF
tourists agencies as we'll as that Of ticket
scalpers. According to the new agree
ment. there will be little or no occasion
for them. because the managers and
otner officials of the new organization
win see that the various lines MAINTAIN
their share of business. Soliciting agents
will be used 10 make up shortages ana
the creation of joint agencies viii owl
ate the necessity OF keeping Independent
offices on freight and ticket business.
Still 1t becomes an important question
whether the tourist agencies are to be
recognized and the future OF the scalper'
so far as Joint traffic association ter
ritory Is concerned. Is in serious danger.
The scalper, although regarded as the
pirate of the railroad business, has been
created, fostered and sustained by H.
even though ignored in the official gaze,
and he has done much in the past to swell
the earnings of different lines. lie mas
come to be regarded as a necessary eN.,
hut a serious attempt will now be maue
