wore his full uniform. including a massive
helmet and sweeping white cloak heavily
braided with gold falling TO his feet. The
cardnal-elect was attired in the rich silken
robes of an archbishop. He was attended
by Mgr. Conaty. rector of the Catholic
University. also in his silken vestments

I'm the secret consistory OF this morn
ing his Holiness deigned to elevate to the

Sebastian Martinelli This gracious and
sovereign favor is brought to the notice OF
your Eminence for your knowledge and
guidance

ferred to the long and eminent services OF
Mgr Martinell his unfailing devotion 90
the church and to the supreme Pontiff. and
expressed the hope that the blessing of
long life would be given the cardinal.
Cardinal Martinelli spoke briefly. He re-
ferred 10 the illustrious house from which
Count Colacicchi descended. So far as he
himself knew the favor which the SOW
ereisn Pontiff had deigned TO show him
was not due 10 the humble services he had
been able 10 perform. but to the gracious
ness of the Pontiff himself. and as In the
past he had always sought TO promote the
interests of the Pontiff and OF religion. so,
with the help of God, he would continue
those labors.
A dinner given by the cardinal to his
guests closed the days ceremonies. The
taking of the oath by the new cardinal
will not take place TIN next week.
