RAMP0LLA WILL MYSTERY
Dead Cardinals Apartments
Sealed Up Pending Action.

Rome. Dec. 25.-The apartments oc.
cupied by the late Cardinal Rampolla
have been sealed up in consequence OF
a request made by Monsignor di BIZ
sogno, administrator Of ST. Peters
This step was urged by Cardinal
Merry del Val, Papal Secretary Of
State, simply to guarantee the safety
OF documents Of great interest to the
Church, the possible loss Of which was
suggested by persistent reports re-
garding the disappearance Of Cardinal
Rampolla's last will and testament
That a will was executed by Car
dinal Rampolla bearing a later date
than the will found is considered al
most certain, because the Cardinal left
a key with tag attached, on which
was inscribed in his own handwriting
the statement that the key would open
a box containing his will. Those close
TO the Cardinal think it incredible that
he would not alter his testament OF
1889, explaining that his estate had
grown fourfold since that date.
The box referred 10 has not been

knowledge of the existence Of the ties.
lament reported to be missing. There
is no evidence that it was stolen. and
no claims have been set up by any one
that he has sustained damage by the
loss Of the will. The authorities there
fore are not in a position 10 take ac-
ton, because, according 10 the Italian
law in such cases. prosecution could
only be possible after some interested
party had officially filed charges. As
the situation is now the authorities
cannot even institute an investigation.

Removals.
FOLLOWERS TO STAY
IN SEVERAL CASES
Minister to Chilli and Other Dip.
lomats in Latin America to
Keep Places.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. 25.-There are indlca-
tons that the widespread criticism which
| has greeted the policy of the administra-
| ton in removing all heads of diplomatic
missions who served under the old ad-
ministration. some of whom are men or
| great many years of service, has brought
on a change of policy, and that some or
tho "old" holders of high diplomatic ONCE
will remain in the service
II IS believed here the American repre-
sentatiyes to the "a b CO. countries or
South America-Argentlna. Brazil and
Chili-are likely 10 retain their places IN

Henry =. Fletcher, the Minister to CHILL
who is now in this country and who Will
soon return to Santiago TO resume his
duties. with no intimation from the ad-
ministration that he is slated for retire
ment.
II IS believed that the administrator
| has felt the criticisms which have oeen
| brought on by wholesale removals. More
potent however is the fact that In some
negotiations in which new appointees
, have had TO handle delicate problems tle
representatives Of the new administration
have proved the necessity of having eN-
perlenced men in diplomatic affairs. In
more than one instance II has been proved
that Mr.. Bryan's idea that diplomacy
needs 10 men Of special training or mat
| all Americans are diplomats, is wrong
President Wilson has had much dlfncu'-

properly fitted for the diplomatic ser
vice. and he has been at pains 10 OBTAIN
representative and able men for EURO
pean posts. In Latin America, however
no such care has been taken. ana hp-
pojntments have been made apparently
with regard for nothing save politics In
one or two cases this has already broueht

So bad has the situation become IN ono

It was thought for some weeks that ne

Supreme Tribunal.

Washington, Dec 25.-More clearly de-
fined rules for competition in business are

Within the last few weeks the court has
directed lower tribunals to send up cases
involving alleged unfair competition FOR
decisions, which are expected to be sec

antitrust rulings.
The law as 10 patents and trademarks
has been regarded as comparatively SET
tied. but q few cases involving the domain
of unfair competition" in business have
come before the court. The gravity or the
absence Of definite rules in that sphere
was brought out in bold relief before the
Supreme Court recently. when St Louis
shoe firm complained that its entire proht
from the manufacture and sale OF n GER
tain line OF shoes for four years was
about TO be turned over 10 Cincinnati
rival The sum amounted TO almost
$4,000
The ST. Louis firm had been guilty. ac-
cording to the lower courts. OF putting
out a shoe with name resembling that
OF a competitors shoe. That was alleged
TO lie unfair. For the purpose OF argu-
ment. the 81. Louis firm admitted the un-
fairness of the transaction. but contended
that the amount Of its punishment should
be only the amount OF business that It's
rival failed 10 get by reason or us act
The lower court held that was not n
nroper rule for melting out the proper
punishment. but that the erring com
pany's entire profits must he taken
away The Supreme Court decided 10 re-
view the Gaze
Many business concerns are said 10 be
anxious over the outcome OF tho !iusa-
ton, CarelessneSs in adopting trade
names is said TO threaten them WITH loss
Of nj! profits for many years. A rapid
change OF trade names would probably
follow decision affirming the decision or
the lower court
Another case the court has decided 10
reyiow involves tho question OF whether a
-four mill that unconsciously adopted tho
same name for n brand OF -four as used
by another mill must turn It's profits over
10 the mill first using the name.
The point has arisen In the case OF an
Illinois -four company that developed a
trade for brand OF -four In the South
eastern states. only TO have demand
made in court that It's business be con-
demned as unfair competition because
an Ohio firm had for years been using tho
same name for -four in Ohio.

London, Dec. 26.-Sir Truman WOOD
recently suggested in a letter to the
