Prospects for American Cardinal,

Rome. Dec. 6.-The United States
would have a new cardinal this month,
but that the Pope fears the country's at
mosphere has fairly saturated many Of
Americans prelates with the idea OF
modernism.
For the assertion that such an appre-
hension exists diplomat a, the Vatican
court-a man in close touch with Pspsl
Secretary of State Cardinal Merry Del
Wallis authority.
"His Holiness is anxious to show mis-
affection for the American Catholics"
this authority continues, " but though
be is convinced that Archbisbops Farley,
Quigley and Iceland are exemplary AMI
orthodox clergymeu, be feels that the
atmosphere in which they live may have
its effect, despite their incliustions."
Nor has It been forgotten that Clrdi
nal Gibbons aud other church digni-
nitsries participated in religious ga her
iug in Cnicsgo in 1898 at which other
religious bodies we're represented. There
are those at the Vatican who think the
Cardinal lrateruizsd too freely with
LEADERS in these other denominations.
81 am assured, too, that when an
American cardinal is iusliy selected be
will not be one Of the candidates whose
names have been mnsi prominently
mentioned among the candidates, Bot
Archbishop Riordan, Of San Francisco. "

Monte CARLO, Dec 6.-Mrs. Doc Goold
sentenced Wedday to the guilotire fol
participation with her husband, who es-
capped with life imprisonment, in the muir
der of Mrs. Emma Levin to rob the
latter of her jewels, is 50 i'll from tbs
shock of her trial that physicians say
she will probably not recover There is
no doubt that, If she lives, her sentence
will be committed by the prince to the
same penalty as was imposed on her
husband. The Rivera authorities are
urging that this be done as quickly as
possible, ss they say even the present
situation threatens to make the resort
unpopular with tourists and damage the
seasons business.
