earners through our present tariff
policy.

New Orleans met In this city today
to discuss te choice Of a successor
to the late Archbishop Chapelle. The

GRAFTON. II Is not obligatory upon
'the aut utSorities at Rome. however.
to name any one Of the three. as the
bishops of the archdiocese will also
submit three names ior consideration.
At the same time II Is highly proba.
BILE that the irremovable rectors and
the bishops may select the same
three names and that the choice
will be made from among them. The
names of Bishop Broerick. formerly
auxiliary Of Havana, and Bishop
Blenck OF Porto Rico. have been men,
toned, but recent CANES from Rome
preclude their consideration. Should
the selection fall upon one outside
the archdiocese It Is said tnat Bishop
Macs. Of Covington. KY. ia the most
likely choice. Bishop Macs is
