HIGH OFFICIALS PRESENT

Baltimore May S.-Sebastian Martinelli Titular, archbishop of Ephesus and car dinal-elect of the Church of Rome, today received at the hands of Cardinal Gib- bons, the red beretta and donned the robes which will hereafter mark his rank. The ceremony, which is the second step in his elevation to his new position. was marked by all the pomp and brilliancy usually attendant upon such occa sons. It was held in the venerable cathedral, the first edlhce of It's kind erected upon American soil, and in which the first American bishops were ordained.
 Among those who witnessed 1t were men and women from every walk In life, diplomats, legislators, educators. journal ists and ecclesiastics. the latter including half a score of. archbishops. half hum dred bishops. priests, monks and semin- arians.
 The initial ceremony took place at the palace of the cardinal immediately prior to that held in the cathedral and con- sisted of the transmission of the beretta to Cardinal Gibbons by Monsignor Mar chetti, the papal delegate. Brief ad- dresses were made by both the partici- pants in this affair.
 Gorgeous Costumes.
 While this was in progress a procession was formed in front of Calvart Hall, block away, in which were arranged in the order named the Seminarians, priests, Franciscan and Augustin monks. the members of the faculty in the Catholic University in Washington, abbotts, bsh- ops and finally the archblshops, the pur- pie and gold of their vestments adding brilliancy to the scene.
 At 10 o'clock they moved through the cathedral to Charles street. passing the palace of the cardinal, where they were joined by his eminence clad in full ec- clesiastical paraphernalia, who took his place last in the line.
 Then the procession moved to the main entrance of the cathedral. The cardinal elect. meanwhile, had entered the build ing through a rear door and advanced to meet the procession at the altar rail.
 The cardinal and the cardinal-elect sa- luted each other profoundly, and each sought the throne provided for him. That for Cardinal Gibbons occupied the gos- pei side of the altar. while that the car dinal-elect was placed upon the epistle side. When they had seated themselves the papal briefs to Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal-elect Martinelli were read as folloWs:a
