ENTOMBMENT Of LATEP0PE
PIUSx TAKES PLACE SAT,
EVENING AT SUNSET, ROME
1000 Witness Ceremony of Solemn Cortege from
Chapel of Blessed Sac rament to Crypt Where
Body Will Finally Repose

Rome, Aug. 23.-The entombment
of the late Pope Plus X took place
Saturday evening at sunset. The great
basilica of st. Peters was in semi
darkness. A Pickering light came from
the perpetually burning tapers about
the shrine of the apostles and the
candles in the chapel where the cataf-
alque stood.
Those who witnessed the ceremony.
numbering about 1000, came by spe-
cial invitation and included the diplo-
matte representatives accredited to
the Holy See, the prelates and mem
beers Of the Roman aristocracy.
The procession formed in the chap
ell of the Blessed Sacrament, where
for hours the body Of Plus x lay
in state. The catafalque was sur
mounted by the triple crowd and the
body of the Pope was clad in the Pom
tifieal robes and surrounded by the
emblems of his sacred office. During
the course of the DAY many thousands
passed by the bier.
Saturday evening the bier was re-
moved and placed on a low platform
on wheels. At the gates Of the chapel
the arch priest of the basiliea in vio-
let robes and surrounded by the Chap
ter, Joined the procession. First came
jewelled cross held aloft, then the
cardinals and high prelates, each car
rying a candle In the center of the
procession was the bier, the eortege
passing amid the kneeling crowd,
while through the vast and silent
church was heard the Miserere, sung
by the Sistine choir
Tho solemn cortege marched into
the crypt where the body will have its
final resting place. Here the roof is
very low and the Miserere had a pc
culiar and melancholy effect The tomb
of the late Pontiff is on the right, at
the entrance to the subterranean chap
ell, close to that of several other
Popes.
The body of the Pontiff lies In a cy-
press wood coffin, on which rests a
gold cross. This is encased In zinc and
finally In an oak casket. On the cas-

Here Ties the body of Plus x''
Born June 2, 1895; died August 10,
1914
The coffin was placed within the tomb
while Cardinal Della Volpe recited
prayers for the dead.
Cardinal Merry Del Val, Papal sec
rotary of state, is so grief stricken
over the death of the Pope that he can
scarcely attend to his official business.
The congregation of cardinals met
for the second time this morning. Car
dinal Della volpe presided. Among 9TH
er matters dealt with was the question
of the holding of the conclave for the
election of the new Pope.
Two opinions, Numerically op-
posed were offered; one that, owing
to the perturbed condition of the
world the elections must be FASTENED
and that the conclave should begin
its work on Aug. al; the other main
tanned the advisability of delaying the
conclave in order that all the car
dinals should have an opportunity to
reach Rome.
Cardinal Della Volpe has instructed
the commanders of the Papal and
armed bodies to guard every corner
of the Vatican to prevent any Incl
dent which might disturb the work
of the cardinals especially during the
eonclave.
Mgr Call, director of the general
Vatican museums, took a death mask
of Plus X today. The congregation of
cardinals has decided to issue a spe-
cal medal commemorative of the
interregnum. The cardinals have also
selected Mgr. Call to deliver the flu
neral grafton. eulogizing the late
Pope, before the Sacred College.
1t is announced that the Pope left
a considerable sum of money to be
distributed among the poor. of Rome
The sisters of the Pope will leave
Rome and live hereafter at Riese
They are to receive $50 a month
which was the Pope's wish, and this
will be sufficient for their needs al

the POISON IVY
PEST-TREATMENT
OF PAINFUL EFFECTS

Experiments In destroying poison
ivy by means of chemicals have de-
veloped only a limited field of useful
ness for this method. Applications
of strong solutions of crude sulphuric
acid or of crude carbolic acid have
been found effective. but serious risks
are encountered in handling these
substances. In work undertaken by
the Massachusetts Experiment Station
it was found that arsenate of soda
could be used very successfully to kill
poison ivy on large trees over s to 10
inches in diameter and on stone walls,
buildings, etc, In open fields, how
ever this treatment proved expensive
and injurious to other vegetation,
rendering the land useless for several
years. In these experiments two or
three applications of arsenate of soda
at the rate of pounds to 10 gallons
of watT were generally sufficient.
The preparation Is poisonous and
stock must be kept away from the
poisoned plants. The cheapest and
most effective method of eliminating
poison ivy seems to be the simple one
of roofing up the plants and destroy
ing them. In large fields 1t may be
necessary to pillow and cultivate the
land.
The safest time for handling poison
ivy is In the fall after the sap is out
of the plants and after the plant has
stopped Towering, as the sap and poll
len make the plant more likely to af-
feet those who come in contact with
1t. In any case, however, the follow
ing protective measures should be
used by those attempting to eradicate
it: With the exercise Of due care, the
use of overalls and gauntleted gloves

JAPAN OPENS HOSTILITIES
Continued from Page One)

The Austrian cruiser Kaiser Eliza
beth, which has been at Using Tau.
the seaport of Kiau Show, is reported
to have sailed. She probably will go
to neutral port and disarm. II Is be-
lieved this action will keep Austria out
Of the war in the Orient. although un.
forseen events may force Japan to
change her policy in this regard. No
action yet has been taken relative to
Austria and the foreign office has ex-
planned that Japan will remain friend
ly to Austria unless Austria adopts an
attitude which 1t regards as offensive.
1t is reported here that Germany
has been trying to transfer the Ger
man railroad in Shan Tung, China, to
America. Toxic believes, however that
the United States, pursuing the poll
cy of neutrality outlined by President
Wilson, will not accept the offer.
Pleased BY U. 8. Attitude
President Wilson's announcement of
American neutrality has greatly pleas
ed the Japanese.
Conferences have been held daily re-
Gently by the cabinet. the privy council
and officers of the army and navy. The
cabinet has arranged war regulations
which will be gazetted tomorrow. The
newspapers express surprise at the extent
OF American. suspicious regarding Japari's
motives in issuing the ultimatum, but
leading editors express Arm confidence
that better understanding will be had
with the people OF America
Premier okuma states that documenta-
ry evidence will show that England not
only required Japan's assistance, but APP
proved her entire program. A dispatch
from Pekin says that the German minis
ter and Chinese foreign officer we're
about to sign an agreement regarding
Using Tau when Japans decision was
announced. whereupon the Chinese tor
eign office decided not to proceed.
