ststory today and confirmed the papal
nomination of 10 new members in the
college of cardinals, the supreme gov

citizens of the United States. They
are Mgr. John M. Farley, archbishop
of New York; Mgr. w. M. O'Connell,
archbishop of Boston, and Mgr. Do.

Washington.

ca will nave now for the first time a
representation of four in the cardinal
ate. which probably much as now con-
stituted will elect a successor to the
reigning pontiff.

long and trying ordeal bravely.
In accordance with the ecclesiastical
law, q public consistory must be held
three days after the private gathering
when the new cardinals, with the ex-
ception of those from Spain and
