Next consistory
Rome, Nov 15.--It is announced
that the next consistory will not be
held before Easter and It is also stat
ed that the plan to create a new Am
erican Cardinal has been abandoned.
This is partly on account of the
claims advanced by Latin America
and Canada and partly because of the
difficulty of selecting an American
prelate, who would be agreeable to a
majority OF American ecclesiastics.

A FAMOUS PlCfoGE MATCHED
Companion Piece Of Painting in the
Frankfort Museum Is in
America.

One OF the most widely-known col
lectors of old masters in this country
recently has acquired from the Enrich
galleries two canvases for his collec-
ton These are Portraits of Frau
Urmiller and Daughter" by Suabian
master of about 1922 and Portrait
of a Venetian Lady" by Bernadino
Licinio (about 1540).
Especially interesting in connection
with the example of early South Ger.
man portraiture is the fact that it is
the companion piece to painting in
the Frankfort museum, representing
Herr Urmiller and son. Until four or
five years ago the Frankfort work was
always attributed to and admired as
Holbein The latest criticism, how
ever, has attributed the painting to
some unknown but extraordinary mas
ter who painted in the neighborhood
of Augsburg in the first half of the
sixteenth century.
Licinio, whose work consists prin-
cipally of portraits and family groups,
worked during the greater part of his
life in Venice and indicates the in
fuence of Titan. Examples of his pic
lures are found in the principal gal
leries of Europe. The delicacy Of out
line, richness of color and purity Of
condition make the picture recently
acquired from the Enrich galleries a
notable example of Lioinia's work.

Undecided About Measures to Raise Revenues-Inheritan Tax Has Raised storm of Protest
 In Many Quarters.

Washington. March 2s.--At the long est cabinet meeting of the administra- ton with a full membership attend ing. government finances were dis cussed at the White House today.
 The discussion turned upon the sub feet of raising revenues to replenish the treasury and to provide against further reduction in the event that there Is an actual reduction of reve- nues from the revised tariff bill.
 Among the many measures brought forward and considered by the Presi- dent and his advisers Is that of per cent tax on the dividends of certain corporations other than banks. trust companies and insurance companies.
 It was stated at the White House to- day that alth ough President Taft had gone so far as to ask for an estimate from the Treasury Department as to the amount of revenue that might be derived from such tax, he was by no means, committed to the proposition. The treasury estimate was $lb,o00.Oo0.
 A decision as to what measures of taxation shall be adopted apparently is d long way off for there is no una nimity of opinion as to any of the propositions so far considered. As a matter of fact the only proposition that has assumed definite form Is that of an inheritance tax and this method already has aroused a storm of protest from the States where such tax al- ready Is levied to raise State revenues.
 The President and his advisers be- lieye that some acceptable form of an indirect taxation will be devised.

 CALM IS DESTROYED Uses Convertible Auto Instead of | Sledge. Ponies in Place of Dogs-Trip Lasts in All I26 Days-Great Suffer-
 ing Experienced, But No , tEoss of Life. 

London, March 23.-The polar regions are gradually yielding up their secrets to human perseverance and determlna- tion. Earnest H. Shackleton of the British navy, who left his permanent quarters last autumn for dash to the pole, having succeeded after an ardu- ous sledge journey of 1 ,70S miles, which occupied lg8 days, in forging to with in III miles of the South Pole, or 354 miles nearer than the point attained by the discovery expedition"Nofw which he was .an officer.
 As the expedition to the south was undertaken rather for the purpose of geographical survey than with the idea of reaching the pole itself, 1t may be said to have succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations.
 Briefly summarized, the results of the expedition are that a point was reached within III miles of the South Pole; the magnetic pole was reached; eight mountain chains were discovered and 100 mountains. Mount Erebus, 13.12O feet in altitude, was ascended by the party; new coast and high mountains were located running west from Victoria land and the theory of the existence of an area of atmospher- ic calm around the south pole was dis proved.
 Profiting by former experiences in the Antarctic regions. when all the dogs succumbed to the strain and rig ors of the climate, Lieutenant Shaekle- ton made some departure from the usual preparations for a Journey across the snow and ice. He took with him a motor car. which could be converted into a sledge and substituted ponies for dogs. and light wooden clothing for heavy furs.
 The main expedition, of which Lieu tenant Shackleton was In command reached latitude SS.z3, longitude l62 east No loss of life was suffered.

 ships. While searehin. Parties Were Securing the Mountains for Them, the Men
 Were wssaering in
 Meuntsins.

Los Angeles. Cal, March 23.-After one of the most narrowing experiences in the history of ballooning, Captain A. E. Mueller and his i've compan- ions who ascended in the big Ferris racing balloon America" at Pasadena, last Saturday afternoon. and became lost in the Sierra Madre mountains. arrived today at Switzer's Camp on the slopes of Mount Wilson, unharmed.
 The men passed through q series of hardshi ips. the details of which have not been learned. Arriving at Swift zer's Camp at 3 o'clock this after noon, they were provided with horses and began the descent from there to Pasadena, over tortu0us and slippery trail.
 A single telephone wire across the mountains brought the first word of their arrival at the camp to the rela- lives in Pasadena. The telephone wire to the mountain camp shortly after ward failed. and but little information regarding their hazardous trip had been obtained thus far tonight.
 The balloon was in the air less than two hours. It was carried by the strong wind over the mile high sum nit of Mount Lowe and swept across the intervening peaks and canyons to the lofty summit of Mount Gabriel. Here ballast was thrown out and the balloon scared away toward Straw berry Peak on the third range.
 Crossing this at low altitude. the balloon encountered a strong current of air. which brought 1t rapidly to earth. A successful landing was eff fected on the north side of Strawberry Peak in what Is known sas Little Tejugga canyon. about 5 o'clock Satur- day afternoon, less than two hours after the ascension at Pasadena. The distance covered was less than fifteen miles in direct line, but by any pos sible foot route many times that dis tance. The aeronauts wandered aim iessly over the mountains until 1:3C o'clock Sunday afternoon. when they unexpectedly came to Colby's ranch. an isolated habitation. without any com munication with the outside world.
 In the meantime terrific blizzard had swept over the nountains and foI hours the mon suffered from the cold At the ranch the party remained unti Monday afternoon when the storii ceased They immediately took up ths snow choked trail across. the noun, tains toward Pasadena and this after. noon they suddenly came upon Swift ger Camp in the side of the noun. tains. about ten miles from Pasadena by direct route. A party, of rescuers on horseback were at Switzer's having just returned after vain twenty-houI search.

The report has been corroborated by an authority so high as to make 1t practically beyond dis- pute.
 Dr. Eliot's personality and mode of living. are such as to make him an ideal man for the place. in the eyes of the present administration, which believes that the extravagant enter tainment and lavish display. which have been the rule at the London em- bassy under MT. Reid, should be aboi- tshed.
