CARDINAL
RA.]N!P0LLA \!
IS DEAD

Rome, Dec. 1.-THE death last
night of Cardinal Rampolla. former
papal secretary Of state, was not
made known to the pope until this
morning, when the Cardinal Merry
Del Val and Monsignor Giovanni
Bressan broke the news. They first
told the pope that Rampolla was seri-
ously i'll. The pope begged for the
truth Immediately and was greatly af
fected. AS recently as Saturday the
pope had received Rampolla, who ap-
peared in his usual good health. Later
the pope issued statement:
Cardinal Rampolla was one of the
greatest men in the church. He had
become even greater since he retired
from the state affairs"
His holiness ordered highest honors
to be paid the deceased cardinal.
Rampolla was the closest collabor-
ator with Pope Leo XIII. in the move
ment for the reunion of the christian
churches. When Leo was dying, Ram
lpolla took a cablegram to him ir
which 1t was stated the American
Protestant congregations were pray
| ing for his recovery. Leo Instructed
Rampolla to write that the message
| was of great consolation as 1t proved
the scheme for a reunion of tht
churches was not a dream.
Physicians declared Rampolla'!
death was due to angina pectoris. Ht
had slight indisposition early in tn,
evening He retired and grew worse
Hurried messengers sent for the sec,
retary and physicians. but he wa
dead when they arrived. The secre
ltary performed the final rites of th,
church. and then sent for the prelate'

PLANNING
REFORMS
Fewer Delegates from South,
and Entire Total Cut
70 Is Plan
WILL ABIDE BY PRIMARIES
Where States Provide Pri-
maries, Those Elected
to Be Recognized

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 17.-After
long discussion the republican ma
tonal committee recommitted to the
subcommittee, which will report late
today, the question of the Warren plan
for reduction Of the representation at
national conventions.
Washington, Dec. 17.-Only two pro-
positions remained to be acted upon
by the republican national committee
this morning. These were to clear the
party machinery of certain features
and reduce the representation to ma
tional conventions from southern
states, and congressional districts
which are regarded as overwhelming
ly democratic.
A subcommittee, headed by Warren
of Michigan, submitted unanimous re-
ports on both questions offering So
luton of each, including a modifica-
ton Of the rules which promises to do
away with the troubles which have
arisen at previous national conven-
tions regarding the Seating Of defe-
gates.
Under the Warren plan. the conven-
ton representation will be reduced by
seventy. The following states lose:
Alabama 6, Florida 2, Georgia e.
LOulSldua u MlSSISSlppl o. NOELl LoI
olina 2, Oklahoma 1, South Carolina T.
Tennessee 4, Texas Ia, Virginia s.
Illinois 2, Kentucky 1, New Jersey /,
New York 4. The total loss to the
south is 62.
The plan for additional delegates
where the republican vote was more
than 40 per cent Of the total was re-
jected because under it the north
would lose .proportionately more than
the south.
The report of the sub committee or
primaries and procedure, adopted by
unanimous vote. is In part as follows:
when the call for the 1916 conven-
ton is issued the committee will pro-
vide therein:
(a) That in any state which shall
have provided by law, prior to the
election Of delegates, for an election
by direct primaries, such delegates
shall be selected in conformity with
| such law.
(b) That all delegates from any
state in which the election occurs.

and part from congressional districts
| in conformity with the laws Of the
| in which the election occurs.
(c) That delegates presenting certi-
ficates of election from board OF

do SO under a primary, shall be plac-
ed on the temporary roll by the ma
tional committee

Law NOT
PRACTICAL
Wisconsin Physicians Find
It Would Require Test
of Six Months
COSTLY LABORATORY WORK
Even Then, in Some Cases
Tests Would Still Be
Incomplete

Milwaukee. Wis, Dec 17.-Promi-
nent physicians and surgeons declar-
ed their opposition to Wisconsin's new
eugenic marriage law and declared it
impossible, without physical examina-
tions covering a period of several
months, to carry out the purpose OF
the law. They insist the SO fee per-
mitted under the act for the certifi-
cate is not sufficient for clinical and
laboratory tests which amount to $50
to $100.
The statement of the physicians
that the detailed steps necessary for
a thorough test extended over six
months, concludes:
Gwen then it would be impossible
for even the most skillful physician
to state positively that the applicant
was free from disease. In cases of a
number of diseases, additional micro
scopial tests and examinations ex-
tending over a period of three months
and requiring unusual skill. would be
necessary"

London, Dec. 17.-British consols
registered a new low level record
when they were quoted to II 1-8 for

of new issues with attractive yields
to which the holders of consols' are

When the advisability Of appropriat-

questioned under the present condi-

confidence in the future of Mexico. and
saw no reason why the United States

He emphasized the fact that the

Friends of Fargo college can rest as
sured that the local institution will not
be closed. In fact, from the present
outlook, it would appear that the col
lege will be placed on an absolutely
solid foundation with a permanent en-
doWment, to carry on the work for all
future time, as q result of the situa-
ton that has developed because Of the
shortage in the funds, to carry on the
work Of the school.
The ways and means committee, aft
er thorough study Of the situation,
came to the conclusion that something
more was needed than the mere rails
ing Of the $4,000 Indebtedness. They
felt that it was a poor proposition to
go before the people asking for help
to pay off a debt. They therefore de-
cided that some plan should be worked
out that would place the college
squarely on its feet. 1t is believed
that the campaign to raise an endow-

PRONUNCIATION by the interstate com

summer the North Dakota commission
took the matter UP with a view to
adjusting the Interstate express rates
to fit the rates ordered to be put into
effect by the interstate commerce
commission. However, 1t was fur
ther delayed in this matter by the
fact that q consorted action on the
part of all of the states of the union
was being taken looking to a harmoni-
Gus adjustment Of all interstate rates
to fit the new scheme promulgated by
the national commission. This was
found, however, to be not only an in
stricate and complicated proceeding
but one very difficult Of adjustment
by reason of the fact that several
states now have in operation express
rate schemes entirely satisfactory to
