AMERICAN CARDINALS.
TWO AND PERHAPS THREE MAY
RE CREATED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-The ap-
preaching papal consistory at Rome, Is
attracting much attention in the highest
ecclesiastical circles of the Catholic
church, owing to the growing impression
that honors may be conferred upon one
or more Of the representatives of the
church in America. Private advices re-
Gently from sources close to the vatican
express the belief that Mgr. MartineiIi.
the present papal delegate to the United
States, will be elevated to the cardinal
ate. This is entirely unofficial, and
until the consistofy assemblies on Dec.
II, there can be nothing definite, but the
sources of the information are such as to
strengthen the belief that the appoint
ment is under consideration and will be
announced at that time or soon there
after. The name of Archbishop Chapelie,
of the diocese of New Orleans, delegate
for Cuba and the Philippines, is also be-
ing mentioned as a possible recipient of
distinguished hOnors, although this is
not based on the adyices from Rome
Heretofore alluded
1t Is noted, however, that Archbishop
Chapelle is reported to be due in Rome
at Christmas time, about the time of
the eonsistory, after having spent some
time in the Philippines adjusting affairs
relating to the church. His visit to Rome
is understood to be- for the purpose OF
making a report of his work as delegate
to the new American acquisitions. In
previous rumors concerning the bestowal
of the red hat the name of Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, has figured, and
there is a renewal of this comment as
there is said to, be some recent move
ment in that direction. In official church
quarters it is stated that all rumors or
the subject must be considered conjec-
tural in the absence Of official advices

HAS A CABMAN'S LICENSE SUSPEND
ED FOR OVERCHARGING.

NEW YORK, Nov. %. = Samuel d.
Clemens was at the office of the bureau OF
licenses today to make a formal COM
plant against cabman, whom he charg-
ed with eXtorting and insisting on the
overcharge. Mr.. Clemens succeeded in
securing the suspension Of the cabman s
license.
Mr. Clemens stated that on the night of
his wife, came from the Grand Central
station to Mr.. Clemens home, at IA West
Tenth street in a cab. The driver Of the
cab, William Beck, charged $3.50 for the
trip. Mr.. Clemens refused to give it to
him and finally paid him 81.
A man named Winston, who said he
represented the Public Hack Owners as
sociat1on, asked for clemency for Beck.
"Well, Mr.. ClemeRs," said Wins. on,
1--WE acknowledge that Beck did wrong.
If we had two or three fares an hour we
would make great deal of money. We
are on the curb for hours at a time wait
ing for fares, and it is natural When we
do get them we try to make them pay for
some of the time we have been wait,
ing
"oh, You do do you," shouted Mr.,
Clemens, half rising from his seat, point
ing an accusing finger at the hack owner.
Why you ought to be ashamed 10 make
such a confession in public or private,
A pirate could make the same defense"
Mr.. Roche said he would susgend the
license of Beck and would keep record
of the case until he had looked it over,
and would then notify Mr.. Clemens il
anything else was done in the matter.
