succeed the Right Rev George Montgom-
cry as Bishop Of the diocese Of Monterey
and Los Angeles.
At a recent meeting of the irremovable
pastors held in this city three names were
sent to the Vatican at Rome as nominees
for this office. They were the Rev. Father
Harnett OF Los Angeles, the Rev. Father
OConnor of Stockton and the Rev. Faith
er Cummins of San Francisco. 1t has
been learned that his Grace Archbishop
RIordan IS very desirous that Father
Cummins be appointed to the office
The Rev. Father Cummins is not well
known in this city, but # is supposed
that Archbishop Riordan wishes to have
him appointed Bishop of Los Angeles be-
cause of the great faith he entertains in
the priests executive ability. The dio-
cese Of Monterey and Los Angeles covers
a territory of $4,000 square miles, and it
requires an ecclesiastic Of uncommon
strength and activity to conduct the Of
fee successfully.
During the last few years the popula-
ton of the diocese has increased with
great rapidity. Thousands OF Eastern
people are arriving in Southern California
with the intention Of settling here per-
manently. Many are Catholics, and the
newly appointed Bishop will find himself
confronted with tremendous work. The
Cathedral of st. Viviana, located on Main
and Second streets, is even now made
quate for the congregation. The site is

~ A message received
4 " direct from Venezuela

tonight indicates that
President Castro has either abdi-
Gated or is about to abdicate his
post as executive head OF the
Venezuelan government. The
dispatch is not so entirely clear
as to make its full purport abso-
lutelv conclusive. The Herald
publishes this information with
due reserve.
1t is manifestly impossible for
The Call and Herald correspond
ents in Venezuela to give full de-
tails by wire, owing to the rigid
censorship, but the dispatches re-
ceived seem to fully warrant this
conclusion. Detailed reports
which come from the Herald
special correspondent ir Caracas,
by way of Curacao, and which,
therefore, left Caracas about
twenty-four hours earlier than the
cipher message, prove conclu-.
sively that at that time President
Castro's position was already
most desperate and that the
friends of the government saw no
more hopeful issue of his plight
than abdication or disaster.

him famous when with the champion Pitts

feet control and his short break curves
were puzzlers to the Senators.

SALE OF THE SENATORS.
Mr.. Lambert Tells Why Certain Nego-
tiations Were Given Up,

Mr.. Wilton j. Lambert said to a Star
reporter today:
II see by the press reports that there
has been considerable speculation INDUCED
in with regard to the base ball deal So
far as the situation is known to me, 1t is
simple I know of no one having been
turned down or unfairly treated by any
of the participants. Early last week
was authorized by some Washington cap
ftalists TO make an offer to Mr.. Postal for
his stock. AS 1 did not want to interfere
with reported negotiation between Mr.
Postal and others. told Mr.. Postal that
should the prospective deal fail had In
structions to submit an offer. On Friday
Mr.. Postal advised me that the proposed
sale to Mr.. Jacobsen and others was en-
tirely off and that he was open to offers.
Acting for those I represented, l offered
him $4,000 for his stock, subject to def
mite information as to the clubs Indebted
ness, which had been reported to be about
$1,000.
Mr. w. J. Dwyer one Of the parties inter-
ested. and myself met Mr.. Postal and Mr.
Allor at the Raleigh about 8 o'clock to
inspect the books and close the contract.
We then found to our surprise that the liza
bilities were more than double what we
had supposed them to be. Under these cir
cumstances my parties refused to pur-
chase at the price mentioned. whereupon
Mr.. Postal asserted that Mr.. Johnson had
stepped in and was ready to take the
stock from him for a cash consideration
OF course. We did not desire to interfere in
any way with a purchase by Mr. Johnson,
80 stopped negotiations. Mr.. Johnson was
communicated with and proceeded with his
arrangements.
mo: have not as yet been Informed as
to what will be Mr.. Johnson's policy. but

through me insisted as a condition prece-
dent that they have full power in the
