TROUBLE BREWING
IN REPUBLIC Of
SALVADOR
Election Of Sigueroa to the
Presidency May Cause
a Revolutionary Outbreak
BUSINESS IMPAIRED
BY DANGER OF WAR

Private sovices from the Republic OF
Salvador state that the country is on
the verge OF & revolutionary outbreak.
Business Is reported TO be seriously
impaired and the populace restless ana
preparing for an uprising Information
TO this effect was contained In letter
written in San Salvador on Christmas
DAY. The letter said that President
Escalon, against the popular will, was
determined that General Sigueroa
should succeed him. The selection or
Sigueros as President, according TO the
letter. would certainly lead 10 a reVo-
luton.
A osblegram received yesterday by
Consul E. Mejia OF Salvador said that
General Sigueros had been elected
President and would take Office IN
March, when President Escalon would
retire The cablegrsm stated that all
was peaceful in the republic.
President Escslon has not been pop
ular in Salvador owing TO his auto
cratic ways. II is charged that he en-
deavore6 TO make himself dictator and
sn 9 measure succeeded. He had the
support of the army through General
SiguerOa. who served FOR g time In the
deld and later as Minister OF War.
Escslons militarism alienated the
commercial interests Of the country,
which had planned TO elect in his place
y man more In sympathy with repre-
sentative government. Sigueroa was
Escalon's personal choice for the Presi-
dency and his election insures a con-
tinuation OF the policy OF the latter.

To ASK THE POPE
FOR COADJUTOR

1t is stated by the cathedral clergy
that no steps will be taken toward the
selection of Coadjutor Archbishop for
several months. The decision to apply
to Rome for a successor to the late
Archbishop Montgomery has been made
however, and when the appointment
does come it will carry with it the
right of succession to the arch
bishopric.
1t is pointed out by Father Philip
Ryan that the place of coadjutor is
not a permanent Office and that there
upon properly speaking, a vacancy
has not been created by the death of
the incumbent. 1t lies with the Bishop
or Archbishop whether he shall ask
for helper. Nothing will be done in
the matter of selecting successor to
the dead prelate, therefore, until Arch
bishop Riordan shall have first signi-
fed his wish to the Pope.
Father Ryan said yesterday that the
Archbishop had decided to ask for
coadjutor, but that the matter would
be held in allegiance for several
months, during which time the Arch
bishop would have to depend for as
sistance at combinations and in other
ways from the Bishops of the adjoin-
ing dioceses.
When the request is made to the
Pope it will be necessary to decide
whether coadjutor having the right
of succession is wished. The late Co
adjutor Archbishop had this right and
would have succeeded to the arch
bishopric with Jut an election if he had
outlived the present Archbishop, and
it is understood by the clergy that his
successor will be of the same rank.
After the Pope shall have granted
the request it will be in order for the
council and irremovable rectors of the
province to meet and select three names
to be forwarded to Rome. The Bishops
of the adjoining diocese will meet az
the same time and likewise select thret
names. The two sets of names will be
forwarded to the Vatican and from
them the Pope will make his appoint
ment.
AS this process of selection will con-
sumo some months 1T is not expected
that Archbishop Riordan's coadjutor
will be consecrated within the present
year.

victed OF having used his profession

While attorneys throughout the
State have given more or less con-
sideration to the words of the former
Governor, the Bar Association in San
Francisco has given special heed to
his suggestions. Members of the as
sOciatiOn favor reform. They showed
this before Pardee took up the sub
ject by instituting disbarment pro-
ceedings against Collins. The case of
Ach was found more difficult to
reach. His offense is not specifically
covered by the code Although dis
barment proceedings may be begun
for such infractiOns as an attempt
TO mislead the Judge by an artifjce
or false statement OF fact the law
has never been rigidly enforced.
