SECRETARY sKEELs OF THE SEN.
ATE

Announcement is made by the Ludlow
Tribune that Homer L. Skeels Of Ludlow
is TO be a candidate for secretary Of the
Vermont Senate to succeed himself, and
the announcement is likely to be fol-
lowed by hearty support wherever the
personality Of the Official and the excel
lence Of his work are known. Granted
that Mr.. skeels served well last session,
tie following words from the contem-
peTary are almost unnecessary:
''The fact that he is member of a
commission appointed to investigate
methods in other states in regard o the
printing of the Senate and House jour
nails, the fact that mis- assistant has
scarcely had experience that would war
rent his assuming the duties in chief.
and the still further fact that a secre-
tary familiar with the routine is worth
something to a presiding officer, suggest
the wisdom Of putting Mr. Skeels back
into the place he filed at the last ses-
SON"
A dilatory secretary Of the Senate or
clerk Of the House can do much toward
retsrdiRg the work Of the legislature,
an a capable official can, and does, do
much to assist the presiding Office in
either branch Of the legislature. Doubt
less Lieut,. Gov.-to-be Z. P. SLACK Of st.
Jehnsbury would be very glad indeed,
of the assistance which an experienced
secretary would be able to give to him.
That being the ease, there should be no

POPE Plus
Close Advisers Urge Him To Send
Letter To Former President Re-
CARELESS of Consequences To
Cardinal Merry Del Val.
Pontiff Tries To Find Way To Do
So Without Embarrassing Papal
Secretary.

ROME, April There is semi-ofh-
cial authority today for the statement
that II the Pope can find way to do
so without arraigning too severely the
conduct of Cardinal Merry Del Val. he
will send letter to Col. Roosevelt re-
GREETING the Vatican incident.
II Is known that several OF the
Pope's closest advisers are urging him
10 do this regardless OF the conse-
quences TO the papal secretary OF
state, but the Pope has expressed the
desire not 10 cmbarrass the cardinal.
There is no. doubt in the minds or
those who have talked with the pope
that he regards the breach In the
negotiations between Roosevelt ana
the Vatican as the most regrettable
incident Of his career as pOntin. one
OF the highest officials in the Vatican
declared today that IF IT were all to
do over no such unseemly situation
would arise
The Pope's consideration COR Cardin-
al Merry Del Val is not shared gen
orally by the cardinals or those In
authority in Catholic circles. Among
them the feeling is strong that the
papap secretary has committed AN
other blunder," and one that should
mark his retirement from the respon-
s'ble position he holds. This senti-
ment fnds frequent expression both
in public utterances of high clerics
and in papers friendly TO the Vatican.

James. Iightbody. who has served IA
a city official for number of years,
and who is well-known in St. Clair. Is
not a citizen of the United States, and

The investigation was the result OF

Gently. Aid. Jacob Vossen, his OPP
ponent at the last election, challenged
Lightbody's citizenship and started
the investigation. II was learned that
Lightbody's father had not taken out
