INQUEST POSTPONED
IN HALL MURDER CASE
Absence of Witnesses Causes Cor
oner to Continue 1t.

The inquest today into the death of
Henry Hall. a negro, aged forty years.
who died at the Homeopathic Hospital
last night, as the result Of a stab wound
inflicted by Thomas Joyce. also a negro.
aged twenty-three years, on Saturday
night. was continued by Coroner Nevitt,
owing to the absence of several wit
nesses. The inquiry will again be taken
up at IL o'clock tomorrow morning.
From the tenor of the testimony sub
mitted today, the fatal affray was due
to a fight that resulted from a wrangle
over domestic difficulties.
The two families were related by mar
riage. a daughter OF Hall having been
married to brother of the alleged mur-
derer. The testimony showed that Joyce
suddenly drew penknife while engaged
in the dispute. and plunged the keen
blade into his antagonists abdomen
Immediately after the assault Joyce
escaped, and was not found until last
night. almost at the moment OF his vic
TINS death.
The capture was effected by Policeman
Mullen. of the Sixth precinct. who CAP
tured the fugitive in the Baltimore and
Ohio freight yards.
when taken TO the statiod the pris
oner admitted having stabbed Hall. but
declared he had done SO in Sclf-defcnse
He told the police that his life had been
threatened by the elder man.

no further demonstration.
Within half an hour things had become
so quiet that care could be taken of the
dead and injured. The wounded soldiers
were taken into the jail and were found
TO be four in number. Their injuries
were slight and were dressed by sur
geons. Later they were taken TO their
homes.
The others were picked up and taken
to hospitals or their homes in ambu-
lances and carriages. The feat was ac-
complished with difficulty. as only few
were brave enough to pick them up.

WILL OF THE P0NTIFF
MADE YEARS AGO
Not Only Personal But Political
Testament.

The Pope made his will some years
ago. The will is not only a personal but
also a political testament. the execu-
tors named being Cardinals Oreglia,
Rampolla, and Mocasini. In 1t he be-
queathed property to his three nephews
and two nieces. but II is believed that in
order to avoid the charge Of nepotism he
arranged in another way that they
should receive larger sums than those
mentioned in the viii. This document
also contains directions for his funeral
and tomb. and points out which OF the
jubilee presents received b. him shall
remain the property OF the See OF Rome,
and which are to be otherwise distTib-
uted as part Of his private property.
His holiness revised his will later
owing to the deaths of certain mem
bers of his encourage, principally those
OF Cardinals Galimberti and Monaco La
ValIetta. The Pope enjoyed a yearly in
come of about 1900 900 lire. Of which he
kept for his own eXnenses only / GOO. .0cO.
OF the balance, 100000 lire was at the
disposal of the cardinals, being given 70
those who live in Rome, each cardinal
drawing a yearly income Of $4,000 lire;
$50 600 lire was distributed among the
poor dioceses; 1.8OO,O 600 lire went 10 the
prefecture of the Apostolic Palace;
] 900 600 lire went to the Office of the sec
Rotary OF state for foreign business:
] SOC, 600 lire was spent on salaries 10 the
Vatican personnel, and 100000 lire
went to schools and charity. The million
which the Pope reserved for himself
was used not only fo- his personal eN-
penses. but also for his private charities
and for purchasing art treasures and the
presents that he made TO sovereigns and
other rulers.

HOPE NOT YET ABANDONED
BY CARDINAL RAMP0LLA

Dispatches from Cardinal Rampolia. the
PapaI secretary OF state, telling of the
Pope's condition, come at regular in
tervals to the Papal legation in Wash
ington. At $3.50 o'clock this morning
the following cablegram was received by
Mgr Marchetti. who is in charge of
the legation during Mgr. Falconio's alb
sence:
Rome. July Holy Father is no
worse today. He continues in serious
state. without. however. making us lose
every hope"
Mgr. Falconio, the papaI delegate, It
is expected will reach Washington to-
day. He is now on his way from Grand
Rapids. Mich, though no definite news
has been received at the legation in re-
gard to his movements. 1t is not prob
able that he will return TO Rome should
the Pope die.
While the rectors OF the Catholic
churches still feel that there is a possi-
bility for the Pope TO recover and no
steps have yet been taken in the matter
of special services. there Is a general
order of events that Will undoubtedly be
followed.
AS soon as the death is announced the
bells in all the churches will be tolled
and requiem mass will be celebrated.
Cardinal Gibbons will issue an official
announcement Of the Pope's death. and
the Catholic churches will all be draped
in black for thirty days. Memorial SER
mons will also be preached.
Bishop F. T. Rocker. ex-secretsry Of
the apostolic legation in Washington,
and recently appointed Bishop of Nueva
Caceres. in the Philippines. is expected
TO arrive in New York today. He will
probably go Immediately to his sisters
home in Albany. y. Y, and spend sew
eral days in his home diocese before
coming 20 Washington.
He sailed from Europe July 1, and is
the only member of the American HER
archy who saw the Pope just before his
present illness. For several weeks he
was in Rome preparing for his conseera-
tion and receiving instructions from the
Vatican regarding the work he is to un-
dertake in the East.

Pope to succeed Leo. he said:
Everything will depend upon the time
of the Pope's death. II he should pass
away at such a time as will enable me to

within the prescribed time without diff

able to reach Rome in nine days, and
that would be sufficient The conclave
must begin to sit within ten days, but
even il did not reach the Vatican until
eleven days. should still be in time, as
there would be the allowance of the one
day of grace. Thus everything depends
upon catching the steamship in time"
Cardinal Gibbons expressed the opin-
ion that in view of the Pope's long ex-
pected demise everything had been ar
ranged to expedite the work of the con-
clave in choosing a successor.
Archbishop Gibbons was created a car
dinal-priest by Pope Leo on June Z, 1886.

means that science could suggest was
used by the prelate's physicians TO fan
the expiring spark into life. Time and
again oxygen was administered, until
finally the Pope complained that the
placing of the instrument under his
nose kept him from having perfect
freedom.
The room was then filled with the
revivifying gas and his holiness expe-
rienced much relief. on several occa-
sions the distinguished patient sank into
deep sleep, but 1t was one Of exhaus-
tion rather than one of rest. and he
generally awoke with perspiration flow
ing freely from his pores aud IN a state
of depletion.
Lapponi Holds Out No Hope.
His physicians. as well as his entour-
age. have practically abandoned hope
and are waiting for the end. which they
feel is bound to come within a short
time.
DR.. Lapponi, speaking of his patient s
state early this morning. said he could
give no hope. While IL is true, he said
that the Pope has shown slight rallying
periods. these were in all probability
but the last fiickers of an expiring
spark
Through II all the Pope continues TO
take some nourishment and retains his
wonderful mental lucidity. He was given
some soup again shortly after o'clock
this morning and seemed somewhat
benefited by 1t. This nourishment. how
ever, Is not the amount that his doctors
would desire him to take. but they fear
to give him more as his physical condi-
tion is such that he could not stand it.

RECTOR O'CONNELL
FASTENING TO ROME
He Is Ignorant Of the Serious IL.
ness Of the Pope.

Mgr. Denis J. O'Connell. rector of the
Catholic University. is Fastening toward
Rome entirely ignorant OF the sudden
illness Of Pope Leo. with whom he ex-
pected to have an audience next week
on questions OF great Importance to the
American hierarchy.
Mgr. O'Connel sailed on La Savoie
July 2. and is due at Havre Wednesday
He goes with full authority from the
university faculty TO lay before the
Pope a detailed report on the univer-
sity's needs. Pope Leo had the insti-
tuition close at heart. depending upon
It for the reconciliation of science and
religion. In his encyclicals he has
taken a firm stand against so-called
scientific dcnials of the authenticity Of
the Bible
Mission Of the University.
The Catholic University was depended
upon by the Pope to bring about har-
scientific and religious thought. Mgr.
O'Connell was chosen rector because he
was able 10 bring to bear an able
American intellect trained in the cul-
ture OF European scholasticism. 1t was
expected he would return IN the fail
with special message from the PontiR
about the mission Of the school.
II he fails TO see the Pope alive the
whole trend Of what has been accom-
plished at the university may be
changed. Much depends upon the po-
litical and religious attitudes Of the sue
ccssor Of Pope Leo. for America and
church problems in the new insular pos.
sessions as well as at the university.
Leo Friend OF America.
Pope Leo was regarded in political
Washington as a stanch friend of Ameri-
ca lie admired the American people and
their institutions. and the hierarchy re-
ceived the benefit of this notable liber-
ality. prominent Catholic said last
night:
In view Of the great Catholic popula-
tion OF the United States. which has been
largely increased by recent insular ac-
cessions. the interests or this country
in the successor Of Leo XIII should be
second only TO those OF Italy"
Before Monsignor O'Connell left
Washington. ne had a long interview
with President Roosevelt. and, while his
only stated mission is connected with
the university, there is good reason for
believing he carries a personal message
from the President to the Pope.

At 1900 Feet,

1t is expected that the machinery can
be obtained by the middle of August.
when work is to be resumed. It is the
intention now to drill to a depth Of
about 1900 feet. Captain Lucas at pres
ent is satisfied that If oil is not dis
covered at that depth 1t is not going TO
be found at all.
The present boring. and the dry well
which was drilled last year are located
at Centerfeld. Prince George county.
The dry we'll has been described in the
newspapers frequently. but the new drill
ing has not. because it has just been be-
gun. 1. is on the latter that Captain
Lucas has gone to work.
Captain Lucas. OF course. cannot tell
whether there is oil in the district
There is a legend in Prince George coun-
ty that long time ago, while negro
was digging a we'll for water, he struck
oil. and found so much OF it that he be-
came covered with the grease and had 10
give up the work.
Evidences Found
Since then, II is said. others have
found evidences Of the presence Of some
kind OF oil. But all evidence is vague.
However. the same was true OF the Tex
as fields, and Captain Lucas was laugh
ed at when he began drilling away out
on the prairie.
Against the possibility Of there being
oil in the district is the geological form
alton OF the ground. 1t is filled with
crystalline granite. Then, too, oil has
never been found east OF the Atlantic
coast range Of mountains. in which the
Prince George county territory is To-
Gated
Many wild stories are in circulation
concerning the intentions of Captain
Lucas. One of these is to the effect that
he has given orders TO have all of his
machinery shipped from the Texas fields
to Washington and from here TO Center
field Captain Lucas this afternoon
denied the report.
