TWO BALLOTS FOR
NEW POPE TAKEN
Neither Results in Choice
Cardinals Practically Prison
ers in Sistine Chapel.

Paris, Sept. According to a Romo
dispatch to the Havas agency several
thousand persons assembled this morn
ing to watch the chimney of the Sistine
Chapel. Presently smoke arose; then
the people knew that a Pope had not
been elected on the first ballot. Tow
ard noon smoke again appeared, indi-
eating that a second ballot had been
taken without election, The smoke was
from the burning ballots.
The doors of the Conclave Hall, be-
hind which the College of Cardinals
gathered last night to elect successor
to the late Pope Plus, were still closed
this morning. Not until a new Pope
has been chosen will they be opened.
Behind the portals the cardinals last
night prayed for inspiration to enable
them TO choose a Pope who would fulfil
the requirements of his high Office, for
the Church and for humanity.
Owing to persistent rain there were
few people this morning in the square
outside st. Peters. The adjoining
streets were patrolled by police and
attachments of troops were kept in
readiness for any disorder.
One dispatch received here from
Rome quotes the "GioFnale dItalia" as
saying il is rumored that Cardinal
Peter Mafi, Archbishop of Pisa, re-
ceived the greatest number of the votes
in the balloting. After him came Car
dlnal Ferrata, Cardinal Casseta, Car
dinal Lualdi, Cardinal Gaspari and
Cardinal Serahni.

GREASING THE PORK BAR'L
Democrats Forget War Tax
When They Think of Election.
I From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Sept THE Demo-
cratic majority is determined to pass
one Of the most eXtrsvagant pork
bar1" river and harbor measures in the
history of the country.
The campaign was begun by the pub
LEGATION of a statement by Senator
Ransdell that 10000 employees Of the
government and contractors working
On river and harbor projects would be
furloughed on October ! If the meas
ure were not passed. Opponents
charge that the bill calls for the APP
pronriation of millions of dollars for
new projects upon which no men are
now employed.
II is certain that Senator Burton and
others who blocked the passage OF the
bill some time ago will resume their
fpbt when it is called up, probably to-
morrow, after the Clayton bill has been
passed 1t will be contended that II inc
PFoysrnment can afford millions for the
"pork bar1" there is no occasion for
war tax measure.

M ADOO DEFENDS
ship PURCHASE BILL
Says Right of U. S. to Buy
Craft for Neutral Uses
Is Indisputable.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The right Of
the United States to buy merchant
ships Of any nationality for neutral
uses cannot be disputed by any nation,
declared Secretary McAdoo Of the
Treasury Department to-day before the
House Merchant Marine Committee,
supporting the administration merchant
marine bill. Mr.. McAdoo refused. how
ever, to discuss the diplomatic phases
of the situation when asked IL protests
had been received from Great Britain
or France against the possible govern
ment purchase of German vessels.
Hearings on the bill were concluded
to-day, and it will be taken up to-mor-
row for immediate committee action.
An early report to the House is ex-
pected.
Secretary McAdoo heartily Endorsed
the Alexander bill, which provides
for the organization of a Sl0,000,O0O
corporation with power to buy, build
and operate ships in the foreign trade,
with the government as majority stock
holder. He said that as some Of the
lines TO be established would probably
be operated at a loss private capital
would not be attracted, the government
probably supplying the entire capital.
"Do YOU understand" asked Repre-
sentative Saunders, that there Is
grave objection on the part OF Great
Britain and France to our taking over
the German bottoms, which have been
driven out of the foreign trade by the
war;" -,
"Of course, | cannot discuss the Dip
lomatic phases of the question:" SAID
Secretary McAdoo. "That is the bust
ness of the State Department. IL can
not be successfully disputed, however,
that this government has the right 10
buy ships from German companies or
any one else so long as it buys these
ships for neutral uses"
at is stated that payment for the
ships would be in the nature OF sup,
plying funds to a belligerent nation,
observed Representative Saunders
"The ships are not owned by the
government They are owned by prl-
Vate citizens and the money would be
maid TO these citizens. not to the gov
ernment," answered Mr.. McAdoo.
"But it is said that these lines are
SO closely connected with the govern
ment that payment would be practical
~ to the government" Mr.. Saunders
persisted. A..
al think there is nothing in that
objection" said the Secretary. -.
"There is no more punctilious citi-
zen of the United States with respect
to neutrality" he continued, than the
President, who would be the chief rep
resentative of the government in the
company to be organized under this
bill. We can rest assured OF absolute
neutrality"
The Secretary asserted that the gov
eminent would be exactly in the 3ame
position as a private STOCKHOLDERS, so
far as international conditions were
concerned, and that the question OF
sovereignty would never be raised in
prize court.
