proposition to the pope, and that if the
pope accepts the offer ne will increase
mis- annual income by $5OO,OOO.
1t has been learned from an author
itative source that at the recent audi
ence given Mr.. Morgan by the pope
this was the chief topic of discussion.
Mr.. Morgan told His Holiness Of the
reports of the Strengthened conditions
of the Vatican's funds, and offered to
reorganize it's funds on a more produc-
tive basis.
At present all the funds of the head
of the church are handled through the
Rothschilds, whose New York repre-
sentatives are August Belmont & Co.
The sum to be handled exceeds $685.
100000 and it is declared that the Bel
monts pay only two per cent interest
on the money. The Morgan offer raises
the rate of interest to four per cent,
which would double the popes annual
income.
In consultation with his advisers the
pope ordered an accounting of his fl
nances and it is believed that Mr..
Morgan's mission, being thus timely,
will result in obtaining more money.
There has been no chance in hand
ling the finances of the Vatican for
many years, and those in close touch
with the advisers of the pope say an
plOyed.
The treasure, who will submit full
report within a short time will, it is
believed, recommend to the pope that
a change be made.

Question Is What to Do With
Express Drivers
ANOTHER CONFERENCE is HELD
Still Some Hope That Settlement May
Be Effected-Otherwise War to
Finish.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The teamstefs
employed by IS lumber firms struck
this morning, adding about 500 team
sters to those already on strike and
apparently making the prospects of
settlement more remote than ever.
At $50 this morning a conference
was called at the office of the mayor
for the purpose of finding some solu-
ton if possible Of the problem involved
in the attitude of the express COM
panies toward their teamsters on strike
they could not take the me-. back who
violated contracts with them. Unless
some provision is made for express
drivers the unions claim they will
make no settlement of the strike.
The belief is current that the confer
ence will result in finding some loop
hole through which the locked out ex-
press drivers can be taken back, which
will remove the last obstacle in the
path of a settlement.
At the conclusion of the conference
Mayor Dunno announced that the eX-
press companies were still unwilling
to make eonces""nns. Another meeting
was arranged, ..owever, for this after
noon. Mayor Dunno, Chief of Police
O'Neill and Sheriff Barrett hald con-
ference this morning on the strike sit
uation. 1t was decided to send a large
force of police and deputies to the
lumber district, where several hundred
men went on strike this morning.
President Berry Of the express
drivers union failed to appear at the
appointed conference with the express
managers this afternoon. Until ne is
heard from all negotiations are off.
1t is reported on good authority that
the express companies are stiff necked
and will make absolutely no cOnces-
sions. If this be true there is little
hope of any settlement. President
Shea went into conference with the
joint lumbermen's association this af-
ternoon to endeavor to adjust differ
ences existing between the lumbermen
and their teamsters.

RAGGED FIELD WORK
AND POOR HITTING
Combination That Proved Disastrous to
Spaulding in Game with Randolph
High Yesterday-Score
Of 6 to 8.

Ragged field work and weak batting
lost another game for the Spaulding
high school base ball team yesterday
afternoon. The victorious team was the
Randolph high school which team won
the game easily by a score of 6 to 3.
Up to the sixth inning the game was
close and quite interesting, the score
standing two to two. But in the sixth
the visitors, aided by several hits and
errors. ran in two scores and two more
in the eighth. One of the last scores
was made by Randolph on a steal from
third base on the throw back to the
pitcher. Fisher was in the box for
the home team and pitched his best
game Of the season.
Spaulding scored once in the first,
third and eighth innings. Several times
Spaulding had men on the bases but
was sorely handicapped in scoring them
by her inability to connect with the
ball Maekay in right field made SEN
sational left handed catch and Noel in
center field made good running catch
