dean OF CARDINALS
IS FAILING FAST
oREGLlA DI SANTo STEFANo is
THE PoPE's BEST BELOW
ED ADVISER

Rome, Dec. 12.-Cardinal Oreglia di
Santo Stefano, the dean of the Sacred
college, is dangerously i'll, and be-
cause of his advanced age, he is past
So, great fears are entertained in Vat
ican circles Of an approaching col
lapse. He is the Oldest Of the living
cardinals, as regards appointment,
having been nominated to the Sacred
college by the late Plus TX, and being
now the only surviving cardinal Great
ed under that pontificate.
Cardinal Oreglia was born in the
diocese of Mondovi in 1928, and as a
student at the Academy of Rome
gained prominence in theology and
languages. He became a Jesuit nov
ice, but did not continue in the So
ciety Of Jesus and was ordained to
the secular priesthood in 1856. Before
Victor Emmanuel became king Greg
liza was his chaplain and was with the
house of Savoy in that capacity for
several years.
He was sent to Lisbon as nuncio
in 1870 and was created cardinal De-
cember %. 1873. He is a member of
the Curia, dean Of Sacred college,
arch-chancellor Of the Roman univer-
sity, prefect of the Congregation of
Ceremonies, member of almost all the
principal congregations and protector
of about 20 societies.
Cardinal Oreglia has been known
for years as one Of the leading poll
ticians of the church. 1t was his per-
sonal influence in the last conclaye
and shrewd diplomacy that caused
the election of the patriarch Of Venice
to the papal throne, and ever since
the election of Plus x he is known to
have exercised great influence in the
Vatican, and to have been the princi-
pal opponent Of a liberal policy on
the part of the present pope toward
the Italian government. Naturally
the pope feels much concerned just
now over the illness of his favorite
cardinal and frequent messengers are
dispatched daily from the Vatican to
the infirm cardinals palace.
In the event Of the death Of Car
dinal Oreglia, Cardinal Serafino Van
utelli, who is at present the sub-dean,
would be promoted to the position Of
camerlengo. or chamberlain. of the
Holy Roman church. and would thus
become the acting pope in case Of a
vacancy of the papal throne.
It is an open secret IN Vatican cir
cles that Archbishop Ireland Of ST.
Paul probably would have been eIe-
waited to the cardinalate long ago had
it not been for the opposition Of Car
dinal Oreglia. The latter IS known
as devoted follower of the late Car
dinal Ledochowsli. who was always

AT SAN DIEGO

San Diego. Dec. ~ Schumanu
Heink has taken the occasion OF her
visit to her San Diego home to make
what may be termed official an.
nouncement that she is not only go
ing to appear at the San Diego ex-
position in 1915, herself but that her
children, all of whom are residents
of San Diego, will exhibit at the
exposition something they have rails
ed on the Sohuman-H Heink ranch, at
Grossmont which is now really sub.
urb of San Diego, as the city has
grown until it has almost surround
ed the ranch.
Wouldn't it be just wonderful if
something my children have raised
would win a prize at the San Diego
exposition " Schumann-Heink said to
the exposition officials, when she
made the announcement. The great
singer seemed to think that it would
be one of the biggest achievements
her children could possibly make, if
by chance some of the choice grapes,
or oranges, or lemons, or maybe
olives, produced on the Grossmont
ranch should be prize winners at the
great exposition, for her children real
ly operate the ranch, and the winning
of such prize would be in the nature
of testimonial as to their personal
standing as horticulturists.
AS the San Diego exposition is 60
inc to specialize to large extent in
exhibits of agriculture and horticul-
ture, and methods of irrigation and
dry farming as applied to lands of
the Pacific coast states the officials
assured Schumann-Heink that It
would certainly be an achievement to
be proud of to win a prize in the big
competition in these lines that will
be on during the exposition.

SPEED War GETS
GOING in DEAD
EARNEST
THE SANTA FE CONTESTS WITH
OTHER ROADS FOR WEST
ERIN MAIL CONTRACTS

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 12.-Beginning
Sunday the speed war for mail con-
tracts between the Union Pacific,
Rock Island and Santa Fe railways
begins in earnest. On this date the
new time card Of the Rock Island, re-
Gently completed in Topeka, goes into
effect. The Rock Island has arranged
to have the Golden State Limited
meet the Missouri Pacific mail train
from St Louis at Kansas City. The
Santa Fe also has held up its Cali
fornia Limited in order to meet this
eastern mail. The Union Pacific is
fighting for the northern route.
It will be seen that the transconti-
mental roads are lining up for the
greatest speed war to the coast in his
tory. The value of the government
contracts across the country not only
increases the revenues of the roads
but gives them the advantage Of be-
ing known over the country as the
route of the transcontinental fast mail.
The northern and southern routes
are at war in the effort to capture
this prize. The northern route goes
through Cleveland, Chicago, Omaha
and on to San Francisco from New
York. 1t is handled by the New York
Central lines from New York to Chi
cago, the Burlington to Omaha, the
Union Pacific to Ogden and the
Southern Pacific to San Francisco.
The southern route goes from New
York to st. Louis over the Pennsyl-
vania, the Missouri Pacific to Kansas
City and the Santa Fe and Rock Is
land to the coast, with bulk over
the Santa Fe.
The Rock Island competition is
through the combination of the Rock
Island from Kansas City to Tucum-
carl, the Ell Paso & Suthwestern to
RI Paso and the Southern Pacific to
the coast. In other words the Rock
Island from Kansas City to FL Paso
and the Ell Paso & Southwestern is
now under the same management as
the Rock Island.
Still another competitor is the ST.
Paul fighting for contract from Chi
Las Vegas optic., 1913-12-12

San Francisco at 10: 80 p. M, whereas
the present fast mail over the north
ern lines does not bring the mail to
the Golden Gate until $3.50 the next
morning. If the Union Pacific and its
allies make no change in time, prac-
tically all the New York mail, there
fore, will be transferred to the south
ern lines.
Union Pacific viii put on train
which will meet Santa Fe or Rock
Island or any other combination, an
nounce the officials of the Hartman
system. "The government has been
notified that we expect to hold that
business and we will operate meteor
across the country with which moth
ing on wheels can compete
That is the defiance which the
Union Pacific hurls at it's competitors.
At the same time the Union Pacific
has notified the government that if it
has to put on a train of that character
in order to keep its mail business to
San Francisco, it will make a connec-
tion at ogden for Los Angeles busi-
ness with which it will expect to
wrest the southern California mail
business from the Santa Fe. And
there will be a connection at Green
River, Wyo., for Seattle which will
force the Great Northern to shorten
materially its running time in order
to maintain its Puget Sound business.
The third factor in the main fight
is to be the combination of Rock Is
land from st. Louis to FL Paso, Tex,
and thence to the coast over the
Southern Pacific.

cago to st. Paul, thence over the
Great Northern to Puget Sound
At present the northern lines have
almost monopoly on the fast mail
business between New York and San
Francisco. The southern route gets
the mail on business which originates
in the cities along its line, but prac-
ally all the New York and Chicago
business to the Pacific coast passes
over the New York Central Burlington
Union Pacific combination.
It is the policy of the government
to give this lucrative business to the
railroad which operates on the short
est schedule and maintains that sched-
ule best-that is, operates the trains
on time. Once each four years the
contract is awarded, but at other
times, whenever a railroad shows it is
handling as much as 10 per cent
more mail than was awarded it at the
last period, there is a readiustment of
its allotment. For that reason the
railroads east Of the Missouri river
do all in their power to assist their
connections west of the Missouri to
secure or retain the fast mail route.
The time has arrived for the award
ing Of contract for carrying the
mail between the Missouri and the
coast, and if the Santa Fe can "beat
out" the Union Pacific the connections
of the former line will secure much
greater haul, and therefore, more
money, on mail between New York
and Kansas City. And if the Rock Is,
land-Southern Pacific combination can
step in and secure the contract its
eastern connections will secure the
bulk of the transcontinental mail be-
tween st. Louis and New York.
Likewise, if the Union Pacific has
to cut time to the coast, the Great
Northern railroad will have to look
to it's contracts to the Puget Sound
country, since it will be small trouble
for the Union Pacific to handle mail
for that section on the trains with
which it expects to beat the Santa Fe
to Frisco
The Santa Fe opened the race by
quietly announcing from Topeka re-
Gently that its fast train, which has
been leaving Kansas City for the west
at 9:1O every morning beginning today
will not leave that station until 9:55.
It is an innocent appearing change
and ordinarily would attract scant at
tention. But if that train does not
depart from Kansas City until 9;55
there is time for the Missouri Pacific
arriving from St Louis to make con-
nections at st. Louis with the fast
Pennsylvania. which leaves New York
at 2:45 in the morning. Vhat combi-
nation will put New York mail into
