SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Rico Morasco Will be Imprisoned
at San Quentin for Life.

Governor Budd yesterday commuted
the sentence of Rico MoraSco. the So
lano County murderer, to life imprison-
men in the San Quentin State Prison.
Early in 1895 Morasco murdered his
partner, was tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced to be hanged. On June =, 1895.
he was reprieved until March i, 1897.
the Governor having received informa-
ton that he was nearly an imbecile,
did not realize the Nervousness of his
offense, and did not appreciate the fact
that ne had been sentenced to hang.
On February ~, 1897, the Governor
again reprieved Morasco on the repre-
sentatfon of the Resident Physician of
the prison. DIR. W. NJ. Lawlor, that his
mental condition had not improved, I'M
Ill March 1, 1898.
In issuing the communication, Govern
or Budd stated that he had inquired
fully into the mental condition of Mo-
rasco. and had been convinced that he
now is of unsound mind, and of a very
low degree of intellect, and that in
view OF these facts life Imprisonment
would be greater deterrent to crime
than execution.

Saved From Harm and Wanted I,
Fight His Rescuers.

William Jones had the escape of his
life last night. He loaded up on hop
extract and corn juice. and then am
bled down to Front and / streets, and
went TO sleep across the railroad track
between two cars
About 10 o'clock Engineer Jack Do
Ian, who was doing the work in the
yards. backed his engine down and
coupled on to the string of cars under
which Jones was taking his siesta. Do
Ian, instead OF pulling out Immediately
after the coupling was made, stopped a
moment 10 let his engine take air. and
before he reached for the lever the
switchmen discovered Jones and uncer-
enormously hauled him Off the rails.
Jones failed to appreciate the situa-
ton. and collectively and individually
challenged his rescuers to mortal COM
bat. He was given a bunk in the City
Prison.

HOW THE POPE IS CHOSEN.
The Declining Health Of Leo XIII.
Brings Up This Subject.

Drifting across the ocean from the
noisy city come hints and rumors
vague and unauthoritative. but none
the less disturbing that ere long the COL
lege of cardinals will be called upon
to elect successor to Pope Leo XIII.
The health of the Pontiff has for some
time been failing and this fact, comhir-
ed With his advanced age, has led to
the belief that the days of the hea /
Of the church are numbered.
The Cardinals We're originally the
priests of the Roman Church. ami CEN
turtles ago. when the people of Rome
elected their Bishops. the Cardinals de-
clared their right to elect the Pontiff
Pope Nicholas. soon after his accession
in 1858 ratified this demand OF the
Cardinals, but declared that the la.ty
and clergy of the city should ratify
the action of the Cardinals in choosing
a Pontiff. This led to such grave scan
dals and charges of bribery and intiln-
idation that Gregory X, in 1879, cut
off the Priests and people of Rome rrorn
participa ton in the election and left
it entirely to the College of Cardinals.
AS constituted then and now, The
college is composed of Cardinal Biss-
ops, Cardinal priests and Cardinal dea-
cons. The Cardinal Bishops are
the Bishops of Osia. Porto, Al
bano, Tusculum, Sabina and Pal
estrina, the former states of the
church. The Cardinal Bishops enjoy
certain prerogatives not accorded to
Cardinals of other rank, while the Car
dinal dcacons have occasionally not
even been ecclesiastics at all. but lay
men who could serve the church bet
ter with the rank of Cardinal than IN
any other capacity. In the eleveri n
century the number of Cardinals was
twenty-e;ght. but it has since been in
creased until now. when full, the col
lege has seventy members. 1t is, how
ever, never full, there being always hats
held IL reserve, at the disposal o. the
Pope, to be conferred when deemed adj
visable. AT present the college as Il,
nationality, stands as follows: italian
-. French {, Spanish Z, Austrian s,
bohemian ,, Portuguese ,. German ..
Belgian i, Polish l. Irish ,, Hungarian

can. The preponderance of the Italian
element is thus seen to be very decided.
and, although the Italians have not the
requisite two-thirds to elect Pope.
they have enough to prevent a combi-
nation OF the foreign element against
them, and can. if they choose. con troll
the election. 1t has been so for over
300 years. Adrian VI, in 1922, being
