O'CONNflL REMAINS
AUXILIARY BISHOP
Archbishop Riordan's Secretary
Discredits Report That Co
adjutor Is Present Title
Dispatches Telling of Alleged
Action by Vatican Declared
Without Foundation

Dispatches received in this city yes
terday purporting to convey official
confirmation from the Vatican OF the
rumor that Bishop Dennis O'Connell
had been appointed coadjutor bishop in
stead of auxiliary bishop of the arch
diocese OF California were branded by
representatives, OF Archbishop Riordan
last night as absolutely without foun-
dation.
No official message from the Vatican
has been received by the diocesan house
here, as would have been the case had
the second appointment been made.
Father C. A. Ramm, chief secretary
OF Archbishop Riordan, who is at pres
emit out of the city, said last night that
the appointment of Bishop O'Connell as
coadjutor bishop, an office which car
ries with it the right of succession TO
the archbishopric, has not been made,
as otherwise Archbishop Riordan would
have been notified. He said that it
would be unusual for the second ap-
pointment as coadjutor to be made by
the Vatican after the original appoint
ment as auxiliary bishop had been
made.
Father J. J. Cantwell, assistant sec
rotary TO the archbishop, had not heard
of the rumored appointment and 1t is
believed that the dispatches are with
out foundation.

Bar

OAKLAND. Jan. 2s.-Roger F'ftz-
patrick. a saloon keeper, aged 81 years
died this forenoon at his home 1929
Valdez street, under circumstances
which lead the police to suspect he
was murdered. he had lain uneon-
scious for fva days. the result OF a
blow on the head.
IL was from the last words of the
liquor dealer. uttered before he lapsed
into Inconsistencies last Monday night.
that the supposition of murder is
drawn. Fitzpatrick had staggered to
his home after closing the saloon at
Tenth and Franklin streets and was
being attended by DR.. LueIla Stone
Swauger He suffered from cut on
the left temple and forehead and was
almost insensible.
II was hit by some one who came
into the saloon" he nIuttered. He
came behind me- did not see him."
Then Fitzpatrick became unconscious
and never rallied. At times he was
delirious When death came and the
remains were taken TO the morgue an
autopsy was ordered. DIR. r. L. Strait
ton aseertained that death was caused
by coneussion of the brain. Then the
facts of Fftzpatrick's demise came to
light and the police. appraised for the
first time of the occurrence began to
investigate.
Detective McSorley was detailed on
the case 1t was learned that Fitz-

were at a loss to- establish a motive
for such blow as Fitzpatrick said he
suffered.
The last person to see him alive In
his saloon. so far found was Patrol
man Thornbury who talked to FitZ-
patrick at IL 80 o'clock The man then
was standing in front of his saloon.
Fitzpatrick himself must have locked
up the place before he went home. as

Messina, Jan. pa serious fire
broke out here among the ruins of
the earthquake wrecked city. The NJ

flames are spreading IN spite. of the
work of the soldiers to control them
and the situation is serious. An odor
of burning flesh is mingled with the
smoke and it is feared that persons
still alive are being consumed.
The flames had their center in the
Pennesi palace, but soon spread over
the ruins of the city hall and the
Bank of Italy.
The heat was very great. The alarm
was sounded on bugles, while the war
ships in the harbor blew their fog

No victims of the flames yet have
been reported.
The Duke Of Genoa made an heroic
