HONORED BY POPE LEO XIII
John F. Betz, Just Dead, Chevalier
of St. Gregory, Although
a Lutheran,

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 16.-John F.
Betz, one of the best known brewers
in the country and one of Philadelphia's
wealthiest citizens died at his home
here today, after long illness.
Mr.. Betz was born in Germany in
1911 and was brought TO this country
when an infant He was largely inter
ested in several financial institutions
of Philadelphia. John F. Betz, jr-, a
son by his first wife. will succeed the
father in his extensive interests.
MIR. Betz, although a Lutheran, was
a Cheval!er of ST. Gregory by grant of
the late Pope Leo XIII. This honor
was an unusual one. His first wife
was member of a we'll known Catho-
lie family Of Stuttgart, Germany
Betz gave large sums of money for
the uses of the church and his first
audience with Leo XIII was held in
intimate conversation by him, seated
upon a rustic bench in the gardens of
the vatican. Pope Leo expressed great
surprise at Mr.. Betz's deep interest in
the welfare of the holy see. in view of
the fact that he was a Lutheran. At
the end of the interview and before
Mr. BetZ left the vatican, one of the
papal officials handed him brevet of
the title of Chevalier of st. Gregory
which Leo had caused TO be prepared
unknown to him while the conserva-
ton was in progress.
