POPE SUDDENLY TAKEN ILL.
OI ER(ONE Ar 4 RECEPTION TO
THE CARDINALS.
Carried From the Room After Making
an Ad,iress-Hp Again Urges support
Of Christian Democracy declares
social Democracy Is q Great Danger.

=
ROME Dec. 23.-The Pope, in receiving
the New Years wishes of the Cardinals
to-day, suddenly became i'll and was
unable TO speak for some time. Directly
the audience was over he was taken from
the throne and carried To his room. where
he was put in bed.
The Pope. in addressing the Cardinals,
said he rejoiced that the jubilee year had
evoked countless manifestations Of affeo-
ton from the Catholic world. but social
events beclouded the year and deeply
grieved him. He deplored the Italian
divorce bill. which involved the destruction
of religion and reconstructed society on q
pagan basis.
He added that he had sanctioned and
given impetus TO the Christian democratic
movement because il accorded with the
needs of the age, but he had simultaneously
indicated its aims and how they could be
attained, so if the movement was pursued
illogically il would not be for want of au-
thoritative guidance,
Already this work was being pursued
with ardent zeal, with striking results in
many parts Of the world In certain aspects
the democratic idea. as understood by the
Roman Church, was not only wonderfully
in accord with revealed religion, but was
born of Christianity. which had reared it
and spread il among the nations.
Outside of Christian democracy seditions
movements, such a. Social Democracy, were
coming to the front, Bitter days were in
store for secularized States which nursei
such movements. A popular Christian
movement, by disputing ground with
Social Democracy, circumscribing its per-
ncious influences, would render appreciate
service to secular life.
The Pontiff spoke distrcssedly Of the bit
terness that beclouded his jubilee. He
said that his protests had been disregarded,
the religious orders struck at, and an at
tempt made to prescribe sacred institutions
which were a chosen portion Of Christs
heritage.
1t is believed that the illness of the Pop
was due to his being overcome with emotion
His breakdown is not admitted officially.

Captain Daniel c. Moynihan is now on trial
in the Supreme Court on charge OF bribery.

Young Moynihan is connected with the
undertaking firm Of Michael Duffy & Son
Of 1873 Third avenue. The head OF the
firm is the ex-Alderman. The complainant
against Moynihah is Mrs. So phia Braun
Itch OF No East Fifteenth street, whose
brother died recently.
She alleges that Moynihan collected $40
from her for the funeral expenses and that
a few weeks later he collected similar
amount on the same bill from her aunt,
Mrs. Sophia Trecht.
Mrs. Braunlich said that she tried TO
recover the second payment from Moyni-
han, but that he denied all knowledge OF
the entire transaction. She then swore
out a warrant for him.
In court Moynihan said that there had
been a mistake in the matter and that he
would refund the money by 4 o'clock. At
that hour no one had appeared with the
money to help him out.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
WIN Consent 10 Act as Arbitrator when
Formal Request Ii Made.

WAL NOTION Dec at Is almost GER
tain that the President will accept the invi
tation of Germany. England and Italy
to act as the sole arbitrator OF the Vene-
zuelan dispute when it Is presented to him
formally.
The only chance that he will decline
lies IN the character of tho agreement upon
which the arbitration will be based. Should
the allies impose conditions on Venezuela
which the President regards AZ unjust, or
should they insist that the arbitrator rem
der decisions on points which, for ex-
ample, might have u special application
20 the Monroe Doctrine, Mr.. Roosevelt
will probably make 1t known that he could
not consent to undertake the adjudica-
ton Of the questions at issue until there
has been a modification OF these terms.
II Ia believed here that there Is very slight
prospect Of any such embarrassment aris-
ing. and II Is taken for granted generally
in OFFICIAL circles that the Presidents SER
vices will be secured
While the President has definitely de-
,ermined what he will do II the formal In
yitation for him to act contains no con-
ditions to the arbitration that might make
emilia rrassing his participation In the Vene-
zuelap imbroglio. he will not BE- ready
TO announce his conclusion until he has re-
csivod and given consideration to the Joint
invitation. No information has been re-
ceived here to indicate when the invitation
may be expected. but officials are OF the
opinion that it's transmission will not be
DELAYED more than a day or two longer
The President has received kilograms
and letters from many prominent people
advising him not to be drawn into the con-
troversy between Venezuela and her Eu-
ropean creditors. Many moro SUCH mes
sages have been received Dy pubic men
