Missing Tourist.

Rome, Italy, Jan. pa telegram
from Venice today said that the police
were tracing rumcr that the myste-
riously missing American tourist, Mrs.
William Mansfield had been seen in
that city. The police were unable
to find her.
Diligent search of the mountains on
the Austria-Italian frontier by Aus
TRAN and Italian police and agents
of the American counsel here has
failed to discover any clue to the wo-
mans whereabouts.
The Venice report would seem to dis
credit the brigandage theory advanced
by the police, but they hold to it,
and assert that a clue to Mrs. Mans
fields whereabouts will be forthcom-
ing in few days when her husband
in New York will receive letter de-
handing 4 ransom for her.

Want Pope to Register.

Rome, JAM pa clash between
the Vatican and the Quirinal today
was a possibility because of the insis-
tent demands by the anti-clerical press
of all Italy that Pope Plus Y be re-
quired to register himself as an elector
under the new Italian Universal Stuff
rage act.
King Victor Emmanuel recently en-
rolled as elector and that started
the demand for the registration Of
the Pope The monarchial press,
which pointed out that the King was
above the citizen and should not vote,
now cites the fact that Pope Leo, while
still an archbishop, registered at Pc
rugia and remained an elector until
he died. Inasmuch as the Pope does
not recognize the Italian government
and Pope Plus has forbidden Catholics
to exercise their suffrage, it is certain
that he will contest the point.
