CATHOLIC CONCLAVE STARTS
 TO ELECT NEW POPE OF. ROME
POSSIBLE SIXTY. SIX MEMBERS OF SACRED COL LEGE ARE WITH ONLY ONE DOOR
 LEFT-pEclsIoN BY Two-THIRDs VOTE BEFORE ADJOURN

lege prior to the famous Consistory of November 27. 1911, on the eve of which there were only forty-seven living Cardinals, of whom not more than forty would have been in suffi- ciently good health to attend a Con- clave. In that Consistory no less than eighteen Cardinals were ap- pointed, four of whom were citizens of the United States.
 Owing to the fact that in the com ing Conclave Italian Cardinals only have a majority of two, there has been much speculation as to the pos sibility of non-Italian Pope being elected.
 The election of Popes by Conclave dates from the Middle Ages. In an- cient times the vote of the Roman clergy, cast in the presence of the faithful, was the elective power; but as the Papal dignity increased in wealth and splendor 1t became an object of ambition. In the year 499 Symmachus enacted laws which de- finitely settled the mode of election, but 1t was not until 1O59, under Nich- olas H., that the Papacy was com pkCLCAy AAOAA4 tAO SOAAPoA- al ambition of its adherents. Gregory VII. was the last Pope to make even a nominal concession to laymen.
 The word "Conclave" came into use about the middle of the thirteenth century and originated in the cus- tom of selecting a hall whose door could be securely fastened (cum clavi-with a key) behind the voting Cardinals until they agreed by two thirds majority on candidate. In some in tances where stubborn elect ors held out an agreement was has, tened by diminishing their quantity of food. The Conclave which met in 1270 at Viterbo to elect Gregory x. lasted a year and a half before a result was obtained. The inhabi- tants of Viterbo finally hastened a de- cision by removing the roof of the Palazzo escovileS where the Conclave was held, leaving the venerable fath- CTS a prey to the inclemency Of the weather.
 Theoretically, any one may be elected Pope. He need bc neither Cardinal, priest. nor yet an Italian. Sixtus V. was a swineherd in his

ROME, Sept. 2.-The College of tending, started today to elect Pope as successor of Pope Plus X. Of the members in attendance thirty three are Italians and twenty-six are of other nationalities. The Sacred College consists of sixty-six members.
 Masons sealed up all windows and doors but one, through which any cardinal who arrives late may pass, but none may come out until the final vote is taken and return again to the conclave.
 Crowds of people are watching the chimney leading from the room in which the college meets, as each bal lot is taken they are burned and the people then know that the vote has been unsuccessful and that another ballot must be taken. As no fires are required in Rome the smoke tells the story of ballot after ballot It was an enterprising newspaperman who made this discovery at the elec- tion of the last Pope, and he was thus able to scoop his rivals.

The Col lege of 1903, which elected Pope Plus K, consisted of sixty-three members, of whom fifty-six were present at the Conclave. Today there are thirty six Cardinals, of whom it is not ex- pected that more than sixty will be present at the Conclave which is to elect the successor to Pope Plus X.
 Of the Cardinals composing the present Sacred College none was ere. ated by Plus IX., twenty by Leo XIII, and forty-six by Plus x. Under the late Pontiff forty-six cardinals have died, of whom three were of his own creation.
