The correspondent Of the Associated
Press visited the inside of the vatican
yesterday and found that all around
the precincts of the conclave the guard
had been doubled. and wherever there
was the slightest possibility of CON-
munication with the conclave the
Swiss guards, gendarmes and palatine
guards watched together. The antago-
nism existing between these bodies ia
the best guarantee that nothing under
handed would be allowed. Besides
the captains of the conclave in their
cooked hats and uniforms embroidered

WARRANTS MISSING
Bogus Papers Left in Place of
the Gambling Cases.
New Warrants Will be Issued in the
Cases.

The warrants in the cases against
alleged local gamblers for setting up
games are missing from Justice Jesse
Young's court. They were last seen
lying on . table and today bogus pa
pers closely resembling on the exterior
the warrants were found in their
place.
The superstition is that it was ex-
pected the warrants would not be
missed today. As the afiidavits on
which they were issued are still in
possession of Justice Young. however,
there will be no trouble in issuing
new warrants.

Rome, August 4-On the seventh
ballot, after three full days Of ballot.
ing, Cardinal Sarto, Patriarch of We
nice, was this morning elected pope,
and takes the name Of Plus X. The
pope has the privilege of choosing his
own name. and this is the one chosen
by Cardinal Sarto.
The election came as a surprise as
we'll as a relief. The members of the
conclave had been shut up without
any communication whatever with
the outside world.
The futility,f both ballots taken
yesterday was evidenced the smoke
which arose from the Sistine Chapel.
This mute signal was watched by an
other large crowd which party filed
the square Of San Piefro and number
cd about $4,000 persons Great dis.
appointment was manifested. and
when the little puff Of smoke appeared
there were loud cries, not only of dis
appointment but even of derision.
Rome had become extremely impa-
tient over the delay in the selection of
the new pope. Yesterday practically
the only news which came from the
Sistine Chapel was that of the ex.
tremely grave illness of Cardinal Her
zero. 1t is presumed, however, that
the other aged cardinals also suffered
from their prolonged incarceration and
the Intense heat.

You pass the Carnegie Library, and as
the light electric car sweeps on you can
see some of the largest business houses

The Clubhouse

without It's clubhouse. The building
which has been erected at the Beach
and set aside for club purposes is OF
frame and makes an imposing appear

magnificent view OF the bay is obtained
from its wide windows, and you may eat
your dinner of the aforesaid ethereal
fish and glance far out over the grea,

approaches are graded into series OF
terraces, overgrown with grass.
The clubhouse contains hfty-fouI
rooms, a well-ftted billiard hall, read

seating capacity OF $50. The building is
lighted throughout with electricity and
is surrounded with a broad sweep OF
porches, shady all day long.
The clubhouse is the social meeting
