NEW CARDINALS TO
BE NAMED BY POPE

Rome, Oct. 26.-While the pope only
recently seemed determined not to
have consistory until 1910, it is now
suddenly announced that one will be
held about the middle Of December
and another next spring. It is added
that the reason for holding two con-
sistories is for the purpose of appoint
ing as cardinals in the second con-
sistory certain prelates who cannot
be included in the first.
Strict secrecy is being maintained
regarding the names of those whom
it Is intended to elevate, but 1t is
known Manager Mendes Bello, Pat
riarch of Lisbon, will receive the red
hat in December and it is also con-
sidered certain that Manager Bisleti,
papal major domo, will be elevated
in the spring.
Regarding the appointment of a new
American cardinal Archbishop Far
ley of New York, Archbishop Ire
land of st. Paul, Mimi, and Arch
bishop O'Connell of Boston are con-
sidered the most likely candidates.
while it is reported also that an Amer
lean cardinal may be named as a.
member of the curia and therefore
will live in Rome.

Had lIlustrious Career

Hirobumi Ito, marquis, was born in
1910 in the province of Choshiu I'm
der the patronage of the progressive
daimio Mori, he eluded the vigilance
of the Yedo spies and went to En-
gland, where he spent two years as a
student, but hurried home to dissuade
the Choshiu officers from war with
the combined fleet of British. United
States, Dutch and French men of
war at Shimonoseki. Though unable
to prevent a battle, he assisted IN the
negotiations which followed and help
ed to open the eyes and set the faces
of his beaten clansmen to new goal,
the unity of all Japan under the Mi
kado, with enlarged powers and with
new forms of civilization patterned af-
ter western models.
In 1871, Prince Ito studied the
coinage system of the United States,
and his report resulted in the adoption
of a decimal system of money and
the establishment of the government
mint at Osaka. AS one of the vice
ambassadors, he accompanied Iwakura
around the world in 1872, in an effort

Ito obtain from the Powers some mod
|ification of the then existing treaties.
In the Imperial cabinet as minister
of public works he was primarily sue
|oessful in having the railway from
Yokohama to Toxic built and finished.
On the death of Okuba in 1878 he was
transferred to The home office. He
again visited Europe in 1S7S-79, after
which he was called, from his admira-
ton of things German, the Japanese
Bismarck. In 1886 the cabinet was re-
constructed according to modern
ideas. Ito became minister president
of state and carried out radical econ
onlical reforms in every department.
He superintended the reconstruc-
tion of law and the formation of codes
no longer based on Chinese models,
but in harmony with those in Christen-
dom. He persuaded the court to adopt
foreign dress.
Ito's progressiveness was respon-
sible for several years of amazing
change, but in 1888 halt was called
and Ito retiredN to prepare the long
promised written constitution. Hav-
Ing studied the constitution of western
he engaged in the debates
in the privy council, lasting over four
months and on February IL, 1890, this
instrument, more liberal
in its provisions than some European
governments allow, was promulgated.
Ito was well called "The Father of the
Constitution" and his volume of Com
mentaries, in illustration and defense
Of Japan's fundamental law, are
worthy to rank with the Federalist.
Again called to the premiership in
1892, he carried the Japanese nation
through the Chino-Japan-
ese war of 1S94-95, and in resigning
IN favor of the Yamagata regime in
1896, Travelled in Europe. He was
again summoned by the emperor to
he premiership, and under his direc-
ion Japan joined the Allies in the
'escue of the legations in Pekin, 49,
100 men fully equipped serving under
he sun banner. He visited the Uni
ed States on his way to Europe in
-901, received the degree of LII. D.,
rom Yale university, and was every
where welcomed and recognized as
me of the profoundest constructive
statesmen of modern times. His
leath will be great blow to the
aggressive element Of the Japarese
mpfre.

ESTlMABLE Las VEGAS
WOMAN DIES In IOWA

Sad news of the untimely death of
Mrs. Harriet Proctor Taupert, wife of
R. i. Taupert, the Las Vegas jeWeler,
has been received here. The end
came at the home of her only sister.
Mrs. George Wilkens, at Monticello,
Iowa, Sunday night, at the early age
of thirty-seven years.
Mr. and Mrs. TauDert were married
in that Iowa city in 1900, coming to
Las Vegas a year later. The wife
was stricken with deadly disease about
a year ago and her death from
tuberculosis had been for months only
a matter of time. The husband left
here last April and has ever since
been almost constantly at her bedside.
No children were born to the couple.
The death of Mrs. Taupert, though
not unexpected at any moment, has
cast pail of gloom over this COM
munity, where she left an impress for
good that will never be forgotten.
She was one whose influence will
linger as the fragrance of the rose

she may have believed that charity
charity in it's broadest and truest
sense, begins at home, opened wide

COMPTROLLER TO
STOP OVERLOAN EVIL

Washingtp Oct 26.--To compel
national banks to stop Overlooking
money is step in the direction Of re-
form contemplated by Comptroller of
the Currency Lawrence o. Murray.
Heretofore the practice of overloan-
ing, which many national banks have
INDUCED in, has been winked at by
the Office of the comptroller of the cur
rency, but it is now proposed to pur-
sue different course in the future.
The law gives the comptroller the
power to revoke the charter of bank
which is guilty of overloaning, but
this power has never been exercised
and no charter has ever been revoked
on account of it.
No surprise will be caused here if
Mr.. Murray in a short time makes a
preliminary movement toward the re-
voking of the charters of certain banks
which are fiagrantly given to over
loaning. If necessary the charters
will be actually revoked. No ques-
ton exists that the comptroller of the
currency can force the banks to stay
within the law as regards overloan-
ing. The point is that the banks in
the past have never been given to un-
derstand that they had to stay within
the law or suffer the penalty.
Something over thousand of the
national banks out Of total of about
1000 are understood to not have oven
loans The law provides that no ma,
tional bank shall loan to single per-
son or corporation an amount exceed
ing 10 per cent of its capital and 10
per cent of it's unimpaired surplus. In
no event shall the total loaned exceed
80 per cent of the capital. This is q
more liberal provision than the law
contained until recently. The number
of banks which have allowed over
loans has decreased since the law was
liberalized, but it is still far from be-
ing wiped out.
1t is supposed the course which Mr.
Murray will take will be to write GER
tain banks which are known to be
violating the law and invite their at
tention to the situation with view to
remedying it, Sufficient time will be
given to allow the offending banks
which have been singled out to get
within the law. National bank exam
iners will scrutinize them carefully,
and if they do not in a reasonable
time cease over-loaning, the revoca-
tion of their charters will follow. !
