POPE is CHOSEN
CARDINAL SARTO, PATRIARCH OF
VENICE,
Is Elected by Compromise Between
the Two Strong Factions w as
Not Considered as Formidable
Candidate--Heldi in High Esteem
by the Late Pope.

Rome, August 4.-After three DAYS
of ballotiug the conclave of cardinals
finally settled ON Cardinal Sarto, patri
arch of Venice, as successor to Leo as
pope. Although we'll known member
OF the co'lyge and a recognized leader in
the Italian branch of the Catholic
church, Cardinal Sarto has never been
seriously considered as formidable
candidate.
His election came about as a compro
mise between two strong factions. Ram
polla and ). Nannuteli each command.
ed a considerable support in the first
voting. But it was found that neither
could swing the necessary strength to
insure the election. On account OF the
heat and the consequent discomfort to
the men composing the college OF car
dinals it is believed that the contest
between the leaders was materially
shortened.
Joseph Sarto, patriarch of Venice.
was BORN at REESE, diocese of Trevisto.
in the north Of Italy, June =, 1885,
and was educated at the seminary OF
his diocese and at the Sacra Theologia,
Rome. His career has been that of a
parish priest, spent almost wholly in
the north of Italy
1t is singular that Venice alone of all
important cities in Italy has only patti
archal rank, while many smaller cities
are seats of bishops and archbishops.
Sarto was made patriarch of venice in
uf.,A Ian,
dinal June ~. 1898, and had for his
titular church in Rome st. Rarnardo.
He was great preacher, fairly well
known as writer and under him
church interests in Venice have pros
pered. He is member of the Congre-
cations of Bishops and Regulars, Saciet
Rites, Indulgence and Sacred Relics
and Studies.
Cardinal Sarto enjoys great popular,
ity in his diocese, and is honored bv
all for his purity, for strict uprigthnes
of his life and for liberal ideas. He is
a modest and agreeable man, highly
cultivated, very kind hearted, and still
strong and robust in spite of his IS
years. He has never taken great part
in the political and public life OF the
church. but divided his time between
study and good works. Although most
faithful to the Holy See he was among
the more liberal members of the Italian
episcopate and Sacred College. He is
rather timid in expressing an opinion.
1t is said that Leo NH always thought
highly Of him and sided with him on
one occasion when Sarto disapproved of
Rampola's policy. ~

SALES ARE VOID.
Northern Pacific Has No Right TO
Dispose of Right of Way.


Seattle. Aug. ga copy of most
important decision, affecting much
property along the right of way of the
Northern Pacific main line in this
state. which a few days ago was handed
down by the United States Supreme
court, has been received here. In effect
holds that the railroad company has no
power to sell any OF ne land granted to
1t by The government under franchises
for right of way, and that title cannot
he gained by ad "erse possession.
Within this state. particularly in the
vicinity of Spokane and all along the
Inlet of the coast, the Northern Pacific
has disposed of parts of its right of way
grant. and in many instances homes
have been erected by the purchasers.
Not 'ong ago the question of the legal
lty of the sales came up, and the COM
panv brought suit against number of
person who had purchased these lands
in this state, claiming adverse possess
sion. The result is that the titles so
held by all the purchasers are void.
The only way the defect can be rem
edied is by the passage OF a special act
OF congress, authorizing the railroad
company to sell any part of its right
of way that it may see tit, and a bill.
it is announced, having this for its pur-
pose will be introduced at the next SEES
sion. In the meantime persons occn-
pying the lands involved will remain
as they are at present until the author
i+y to sell has been granted, when new
deeds will have to be executed.

L. s. LlPPY ROBBED.
One of the Most Daring Holdups
Recorded in Seattle.

Seattle, Aug. 3 -Thoma, $. Lippy,
the klon1ike capitalist. was waylaid
by burglars in his home, 1919 James
street, on Lis return from church at 10
o'clock last night, and was beaten over
the head with a gun, was bound with
drapings torn from the doorway OF his
dining room and was robbed of two
gold at'hcs and STA in money. He
was then led up the stairway an' tied
to a landing post by the two robbers
While this scene was in progress of
enactment, Ora Sleeper, a servant in
the houes who had entered twenty
minutes earlier, sat bound, gagged and
tied in a chair on the first landing OF
the stairway, where, unable to speak a
word, she witnessed what Sas happening
to the master of the house below, and
fearing every moment shot would
Ting out which would add murder to
the crime.
The affair was undoubtedly the most
daring which has ever been committed
in Seattle. While it progressed people
were passing up and down James street
in front of the Lippy hosue. and the
tread of their steps could be plainly
heard within.
After the robbers had depas ted, Miss
Sleeper united herself and assisted Mr.
Lippy in freeing his arms from the post
to which they bnoth had been bound
With blood flowing from three wounds
in his head Mr.. Lippy ran down the
stairway into tie dining room, whe' e
he secured gan and hurried to the
front door. BY that time, however,
the robbers had disappeared. The po-
lice were at once notified, but up to
this time no results have been obtained.

CASE.
Judge Lochren Holds the Orgapi-

al Case Not Affected.

st. Paul Aug. 5-Judge Lochren, in
down his decision in the case OF Min
nesota VS.. The Northern Securities
Company, the Great Northern Rail
way. the Northern Pacific Company
and j. j. Hill. as president OF the
Northern Securities Company and indi-
vidually, in which he sustained the
contentious of the defendants and dis.
missed the bill OF complaint OF the
state.
he finds that the Northern Securi-
ties Company has not violated the state
laws iorbidding the consolidation of
parallel and competing ines of railway,
through its ownership of the stock of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific RAILWAYS. He refuses the injunc-
tons asked by the state of Minnesota
to restrain the securities company from
voting the stock of the two railroad
companies, or either of them.
Based on Different Law.
This decs on affects the results of
the federal governments victory in the
f, deral court in no way whatever. The
federal suit involved the same defend
ants and the same general state of facts,
bnt was based on totally different
contention of law.
The federal suit in which the COM
pany was beaten was prosecuted for Vi
olation of the Sherman antitrust law
passed by the federal congress. The
state suit, i'm which the securities COM
pany wins was based on an allegation
that the defendants violated an act of
the Minnesota legislature forbidding
the consolidation of parallel and COM
peting lines of railway.
The hearing Of the state suit was be-
gun Friday, June 5, of last year, before
Judge Lochren in the federal circuit
court. 1t was followed by the submits
sion of much testimony by both sides,
covering period of many months, in
which Frederick Ingersoll of this city,
acted as referee. The final argument
lasted five days, during which Attorney
General Douglas, former Attorney Gen.
eral George B. Wilson and Attorney NJ.
ID. Mum spoke for the state, and
George b. Young, NJ. ID. Grover and c.
w Bum for the defendants. The case
was submitted Wednesday, June 10.
An appeal to the United States supreme
court is how pending in the federal suit.
