TO CREATE SIX
NEW CARDINALS

appointed, as She Has Been With
out a Cardinal Since
Vaughan's Death.
PETERS PENCE INCREASED

Rome March 23.-The Pope has decided
to hold a consistory April 10 and create
six cardinals, namely, Monslgnor Caval-
leri the patriarch of Venice; Monsignor
Rilnadini, the papal nuncio to Spain; Mon
signor Lororzelli, the ex-papal nuncio at
Paris; Monsignor Lualdi, archbishop of
Palermo; Monsignor Mercer, archbishop
of Malnes, and Monsgnor Maffi, arch
bishop of Pisa. The last named will be
transferred as as cardinal of the curia.
James E. Quigley. archbishop of Chi
cage; Thomas F. Hickey coadjutor bishop
of Rochester; Bishop o'Gormon of Sioux
Falls, and Archbishop Seton were in
formed of the approaching consistory by
the Associated Press correspondent to-
night.
Without voicing the opinion of any
American prelate, it can be said that the
list of the six new cardinals is a disap-
pointment, as the United States consld-
cred itself entitled to larger represen-
tation In the Sacred college than it now
has, namely, one cardinal. 1t is related
that the United States in numbers is the
fourth Catholic power in the world, but
from the standpoint of an enlightened,
prosperous, progressive country, It's posi-
ton in the Catholic world is even higher.
With one cardinal the United States
is on the same level of representation
as Portugal and Belgium, Various rea-
SONS are given in vatican circles for the
appointment of these six new cardinals,
and it Is explained further that cardinals
are not created to satisfy national de-
sires, but is a result of the inspiration of
the pontiff. who is guided by individual
merit
1t is believed here that Canada and Eng
land also will be disappointed with the
foregoing selection, England having been
without cardinal since the death of Car
dinal Vaughan. Shortly after Easter the
American archbishops here will meet and
discuss, among other things, the best way
to augment the Peters pence contribu-
ton. 1t Is proposed to raise these con-
tributions from 100000 to $1,000, 900, MAX
ing good TO this extent the losses the
vatican has sustained In France.

ULD DUDE BUILDING
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Early Morning Fire Breaks Out
Over Saloon
Is QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED
Old Structure Which City Council
Condemned to Be Torn Down Next

Itself.
Is QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED

AS If ashamed of its old and broken
frame. and knowing it was condemned
to death. the old Dude saloon building
tried to commit suicide early this MORN
ing.
Fire broke out at 2:15 o'clock from
some unknown cause. The alarm was
turned in by the policeman of that beat,
and almost In a moment the whole fire
department was on the scene, at Second
avenue and Twentieth street. Flames
were bursting from the roof, and vol
umes of smoke filed the second and
third stories.
1t seemed that the fire had started in
the rear end of the second floor, and had
caught the third before the alarm was
given. AS soon as the department ar
rived the aerial truck was trained on
the wall, powerful stream of water
was turned on, and within five minutes
the last pickering flame was out.
Smoke continued to cause trouble, and
an investigation of the interior could not
be made at $3.50 o'clock. Nothing but
woodwork was damaged on the third floor
as it was vacant However, one of the
Oldest and most historical places in the
city was flooded with water as a bap-
tism before it is consigned to the pick
axe OF tho. leveler.
The second floor was the sleeping quar-
ters of a crowd of Italian fruit dealers.
They piled out In short order, carrying
their few belongings in their hands. 1t
was here that the fire originated, but
whether it was an accident Is not yet
known.
Directly underneath the burned part is
the Star newsstand and the Myers &
Shelton jewelry store. Although water
leaked through on Them neither was bad
~ damaged. The losses in all will prob
ably not amount to $500
The Dude building is the property of the
Webb estate. At meeting of the coun-
Gil some time ago 1t was condemned and
orders were given that it be torn down
by April 1. Now that the day Is but a
week distant, the old structure has made
an unsuccessful attempt to destroy itself.
1t was built in 1872. when it was one of
the largest structures in the city.

Two Years of Roosevelt.

Charles NJ. Harvey in Leslies Weekly.
In recounting the successes and failures
of Mr. Roosevelt in the two years of his
service as an elected President several
things need to be taken into the account
"a In large degree the radicalism with
which the President has been charged
mas been thrust upon him by forces which
not only shaped themselves Independently
of his will but most of which were in
operation long before he entered office.
90 His aim has been to go only Tar
enough to meet the necessities of the sit
ua ton. and to head off demagogues who
would go much farther If they were
elected, and who, as he feared, would
probably be elected If he failed to act.
go With his natural impetuosity and
his zeal to correct evils. and also to avert
evils before they had a chance to reveal
themselves. he has. in some Instances,
gone farther than he intended at the
outset
90 When, as in the Brownsville case. he
has made mistakes, he has been quick TO
correct them.
Although the United States has only 3
per cent of the worlds population, she is
producing in 1907 fully % per cent of the
worlds gold, so per cent of its silver, 40
per cent of its iron. 42 per cent of its
steel, Is per cent of its coal, 90 per cent
OF It's petroleum, ~ per cent VI It's toPPci'
and rs per cent of its cotton. Between
the election of Harrison in 1883 and the
completion of the first half OF Rooseveits
present term on March 4, 1901 the wealth
of the United States has doubled More
wealth has been added to the United
States total since Roosevelt entered Of

RICHEY'S FRIENDS
GREATLY PLEASED
HIS RECENT PROMOTION is RE-
GARDED AS PROOF OF THE HIGH
ESTEEM IN WHICH HE HELD
IN RAILROAD CIRCLES.

Many people in Birmingham, in railroad
in the appointment of NJ. NJ. Richey as
manager of the middle and western dis
tricts of the Southern railway with head
quarters in Atlanta.
There are few If any railroad men in
the south who are better known than Mr.
Richey, and he had any number of friends
in Birmingham when he was superinten-
dent of the Birmingham division of the
Southern, later assistant general super
intendent of the western district, and still
later vice president of the Sloss- Sheffield
Steel and Iron company.
The new appointment is quite a pro-
motion for Mr. Richey, as he was pre-
viously general superintendent of the mid
die district with headquarters in Knox
Vile. Mr.. Richey will have cause to
come to Birmingham frequently, carry
ing out the duties of his new office, and
those who know him best feel confident
that he will be able to improve the con-
dtions existing now on these two dis
tricts of the Southern.
On the middle district Mr.. Richey made
quite a reputation for himself, as that
district is considered to be in better shape
than any on the system. When Mr..
Richey went to it several months ago ii
was in badly congested condition, but
when he was here last he stated that to a
large extent the congestion had been
cleaned up and that he was moving his
business with greater ease.
In the promotions which follow MIR.
Richeys appointment II. II. Hutchins,
superintendent of the Knoxville division
Of the Southern, was made general sup
erintendent of the middle district. and il
is probable that j. a. McDougal VIII sue
coed him as superintendent at Knoxville.
Mr.. Richey recently gave Mr. McDougal
the position of trainmaSter of the Chat
tanooga division of the Southern, and it
is known that Mr. Richey has a high
regard for the ability of Mr.. McDougal.
Until recently Mr.. McDougal was train
master of the Frisco in Birmingham, and
before that he was with the Southern in
Birmingham. The other man mentioned
for the SUPPLEMENTARY is S. w. Samuels,
trainmaster at Tuscumbia

COUNCIL WORKS
UNDER NEW RULE
Public Utility Corporations Which
Neglected Annual Reports May
Get Attention-Much Legis-
lation Pending

Today's session of the city council
will be the first under the new rule
which will bring the solons together at
10 O'Clock instead of as formerly.
The new rule will enable a more me-
thodical dispatch of business, it hav-
ing developed that by afternoon ses-
sions there was a tendency to rush the
routine business toward the end of the
meeting, which was distasteful to the
new members.
One of the most important matters
scheduled for presentation is that of
the new rules. Chairman Wren has
drafted a set of regulations which he
expects his colleagues will respect
rigidly. They provide for fines for
tardiness, and the fines will be col
lected on the spot by the sergeant-at-
arms. The money will go into some
charity fund. Fines are also provided
for absence without leave.
None but city officials, newspaper
men and citizens who wish to address
the council on particular subject may
enter beyond the railing hereafter
"Under the old rules any business
could be rushed through by simply get
ting a few men to each engage a coun-
Gilman in conversation at his seat,
said Chairman Wren. 1--WE want to
give our undivided attention to coun-
cilmanic business during the session
and our constituents should see us be-
fore the meeting and not interrupt
sessions unless they want to address
the whole body. which privilege l am
sure will be granted them at any time"
The question of taking action in re-
gard to the public utility corporations
which have neglected to make reports
of the years business will come up to-
day. Fines and imprisonment or both
are provided for violations of the law,
of which the Sunset and the Home
Telephone and the Peoples Gas officials
may be charged. The Peoples and the
Home officials have cases in court and
doubtless were guided by counsel in ig-
noring the law, and the Sunset peo-
ple followed the example of their COM
petitors. Because of the absence of
city Attorney Hewitt in Sacramento
the question will likely be referred to
his Office first, and no formal action Is
likely today beyond reference.
