In the Original Program
as to the Pope's
Funeral.
RUMORS ARE UNTRUE
Body Reported in Good
State of Preservation
1.-The Services.

Rome, July 24.-The report gener-
ally circulated that the body of Pope
Leo was beginning to show signs of
decomposition caused great excite
ment, but it is now contradicted by
the doctors. DR.. Lapponi, in the face
of the doubts cast on the efficacy of
his process of embalming, went with
other doctors today to examine the
body of the pope and found it to be
i'll a perfect state of preservation. y
large quantity of ice was put under
the bier and unless the unexpected
occurs the interment viii take place
Saturday evening, as originally ar
ranged.
Rome, July 24.-Solemn funeral
mass for the repose of the soul of
Pope Leo was celebrated today in the
church of st. Vincent and Anastasius.
Mgr. Niril celebrated the mass, as
sisted by all the students OF the Amer
lean college. Masses were celebrated
in other churches, but the most sig
nificant was that celebrated in the
royal chapel by the court chaplain by
order of the king and queen of Italy.
Rome, July 24.-From sunrise until
body of Leo NH lying in state in the
.BaSilica of St. Peters. 1t was original
ly intended that this opportunity pub
licly to view the remains should eX-
tend through three days, but the As
sociated Press correspondent learns
that the time is likely to be curtailed,
and that the funeral may occur today
the evidences that decomposition is
setting in. This is due to the severe
heat, from which no embalming how
ever perfect, could completely protect
the body.
Pope's will Is Opened.
The will of the dead pope was opened
at the meeting of the congre CATION of
cardinals. 1t consists of thirty-SiX
pages in the handwriting of Leo XIII,
and leaves all the property of which
he died possessed to his successor for
the use of the church. To each mem
Der of his family he leaves a present
to be chosen from the valuable objects
in his apartment. Similar presents are
bequeathed to his physicians. The to-
tai amount of the property which he
left is not yet known.
Many Said Hurried Prayer.
Except at sunrise, when the crushed
threatened a panic, all those who
wished it had an opportunity of enter
ing st. Peters. During the day many
of those who passed in stopped be-
fore the catafalque to say a hurried
prayer. Hundreds of the women, and
even some of the men, carried chill
dren in their arms.

believes in Protective TAriT

Lowering said in part: In all the
years of our history as a nation it has
come tobea pretty we'll established fact
that a tax for revenue on the lines of
protection to American industries has
yielded a fuller measure of public vel
fare than n tax for revenue only. but
1t does not follow that the highest
and most prohibitory tax is the most
protective tax. 1t is n fact that most
of the industries of our country today
are sOrely in need of new outlets in
the markets of the world for their
products. and that the tariff should be
so laid that the doors may sometimes
swing outward as easily as they swing
inward" :"
