Requisites Of Pope.
Now more than ever we need an en-
ergetic pontiff; but at the same time he
must be prudent. With extreme meas

years rule In my bishopric. have never
juggled with my conscience or the duties
of my office, but have maintained most
personal relations and also cor
dial official relations with all the laymen
and authorities with whom ! came In con-
tact. This Is the secret of success. This
was the glory Of Pope Leo. With the help
of God 1t will be that of his successor.
This morning meeting of cardinals

conclave may begin work July 81.

to why the government paid $3.50 for auto
matte cash registers which sold in the
market at 1925. SO First Assistant Post
master General Wynne and Mr.. Brstow
want to know why the government was
required to pay from 500 to s125 for time
clocks which sold to private parties at
from $40 to $50 less. II
In the first case the department holds
that George w. Beavers, late superin-
tendent Of salaries and allowances, shared
the surplus with Former Representative

company, and they both are now under
indictment as a result. The postofhce

divided in violation of law Mr.. Bristow
is making the investigation.
The manner of letting the contract for
the Bundy time clocks seem to be most
irregular proceeding. John w. Masten
was at that time chief clerk to the first
sonal friend Of his undertook to secure
a contract for furnishing the department
with time registers in behalf Of the Day.
time Registrar company. test was
given the registers and a highly compli-
mentary report was filed by the Wash

Sudden Change Of Front.
Between the fling of this report and
the signing of the contract about four
months interviewed, during which time It
was understood that Masten's friend
shifted his allegiance from the Day Time
Register company to the Bundy company,
and one day, while First Assistant Post
master General Johnson was out of the
city and Masten was acting in his place,
the latter suddenly made a contract with
the Bundy company to cover a period of
four years.

MASSES ARE CELEBRATED
Many Of the Roman Churches Hold Highly
Impressive Services.


Impressive Services.
Rome, July PA solemn funeral mass
for the repose Of the soul of Pope Leo
was celebrated to-day in the Church Of
Saints Vincent and Anastasius. The door
OF the church, which contains the viscera
of all the popes since Sixtus ", except
those Of Plus TX, was decorated in black
and gold and bore a long inscription in
Latin. Inside the church was hung with
black and gold and on the high altar was
large golden cross and in the center
stood an elaborate catafalque surmounted
by triple crown. In front Of the cata-
falque was the coat Of arms of the late
pontiff, with profusion Of flowers and
many flags Of clerical societies. H.,
Mgr. Virili celebrated the mass, as
sisted by all the students of the American
college. The church, which is not large,
was overlooking with people. ".+-r
Masses Celebrated Elsewhere.
Among the other funeral masses cele-
DRAFTED to-day, the NOSE Imposing was
that In the choir chapel Of st. Peters,
facing the chapel where the body of Pope
Leo lies In state, with a never ending
stream of people passing before It, A
grand catafalque draped In black and gold
was in the center Of the chapel and on 1t
q triple crown held the conspicuous posi-
ton. This, with Pickering candles
around the catafalque and clouds
, OF incense, gave note or mysticism to
the chapel which was wanting In the ex-
position of the remains Of the pope on the
other side of the church. The function
reached the height Of impressiveness when
the voices Of the choir rang out the 'Dies
Irae," which echoed turnout the basilica.
The Jesuit Celebration.
Still another most important mass was
celebrated in the Church Of Jesus, be-
longing to the Jesuits. Father Martin
general Of the order, officiated personally
assisted by Father Myer, the substitute
general, who is an American. The large
church was filled with people belonging to
the upper classes Of Rome. r.-. g..
The most significant mass, however, was
that celebrated In the royal chapel, known
as the Church of the Sudario by the court
chaplain, by order Of the king and queen
OF Italy. When Piux TX. died, four days
after his death, as this is four days after
the death Of Pope Leo, mass was cele-
brated in the Sudario church for the re-
pose of the soul of Victor Emmanuel
then lately deceased. To-day 1t was cele-
brated for the repose Of the soul Of Lee
XIII.

FIND DEAD MAN
IN WOODEN BOX
Strange Story Of What Bids Fair to
.a Prove a CHASTITY
Murder.
The Box Was Turned Over to the
Police, but Afterwards .
Disappeared. a.. T..

New York Sun Special Service. -.
Chicago, July 24.-Doubled in a rough
box, the body Of a man, bruised and
partially dismembered, was thrown over
the street railing to the express platform
of the Chicago & Northwestern railway
station early Tuesday morning.
Eight hours later all evidence Of what
is now believed to be a CHASTITY crime,
was lost. The fact that the body was
turned over to the police makes the mys-
terry all the deeper. Altho the body was
conveyed to the morgue on North Clark
street in the patrol wagon of the Chi
cago avenue police station, neither In
spector Campbell nor the proprietor Of
the morgue house knows what has be-
come of it.
These strange facts, coupled with the
evident reluctance of everyone connected
with the case to discuss it has added to
the interest. The police say they are
not doing anything In the matter. For
three hours on Tuesday morning the box,
which contained the body, remained I'M
noticed on the platform. Then somebody
drew the attention of the baggage movers
to it. s~
Box Was Not Tagged.
1t was found that the unmarked, un-
tagged case contained the body Of a man.
The body was bruised and cut in several
pieces. .... o.. ..,.........-... .-
Investigation showed that the box con-
tanning the body had been left at the
| station at o'clock in the morning. A
night Waterman Of the railway company
saw a wagon back up to the platform
and leave the box, but he noticed moth
| ing about it except that one of the panels
| of the wagon was broken. Pa IS
When the regular force Of freight
! handlers arrived at the station there was
nothing to attract their attention to the
| case. Soon an odor was noticed, how
ever, and they traced it to this box.
Discover the Body.
| F. D. Taylor who has charge of all the
| baggage that the Chicago & North
Western road handles, was called, and
| after looking over the records and find
| ing there was nothing to indicate the
| shipper Of this box, he ordered that it
| be opened.
AS the top was removed the body of a
man, covered only with coat and sheet,
was revealed The condition of the body
was such that no investigation was made
| at this time.
AS soon as the contents of the box
were made known, it was removed to the
station masters house, just west Of the
! express platform. It remained there un-
| til 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, ac-
cording to employees Of the railway.
Then the police took charge of 1t, SO
William Riley, special agent of the rail-
way says. What became of the body
eventually, he confesses he does not
| know. .
