The patriarch's relations with the
house Of Savoy were always most cor

realised the future that when he left
Venice in July, 1908, for the conclave
In Rome he bought return ticket.
Elected Pope August 4, 1903.

~ Wish to Die Poor"
The contents Of the will of Pope
Plus have become kn~wn. The ties.
tament is dated 1911, but has codicils
made in successive years. To the
members of his immediate family he
leaves $4,000, which was presented
to him some years ago. and $4,000 to
his nephews. In the will Is the fol.
lowing phrase: II was born poor and
lived poor, and wish to die poor"
The will contains q recommendation
that the burial be modest one in the
crypt Of st. Peters. 1t concludes by
invoking Gods forgiveness for the
sins which the te tator may have COM
mitted. especially as pontiff.
The body of the pontiff lies in a
cypress wood coffin on which rests a
gold cross. This is encased in zinc
and finally in an oak casket. On the
casket is the inscription

Here Lies the Body of Plus X.

The coffin was placed within the
tomb, while Cardinal Della Volpe re-
cited prayers for the dead, accom-.
panied by all present. kneeling.
A monument to Plus X. will be
erected in the crypt.
His Successor.
Italian cardinals. looking to the con-
vening Of the sacred college Of cardi-
nails to select successor to Plus X.
are putting forth their strongest eff
forts to prevent the conclave present
ing spectacle of schism among the
foreign cardinals on account of the
war in Europe.
viii Be italian.
Should a breach In the sacred col.
lege occur it is expected the foreign
cardinals would form groups as fol.
lows:
The seven from France, five from
Spain, two each from England and
Portugal, and one each from Ireland
Belgium and Canada. total of 10.
The two German and six Austro
Hungarian make up another group Of
eight.
The neutral group is composed Of
the three Americans and one each
from Brazil and Holland, total Of
five.
Separately stands the bulk of the
Italian cardinals, numbering 80.
The whole sacred college numbers
IS cardinals, SO that the next pope
needs ~ votes to be elected. The
Italians alone, or with the five neu
trails therefore are insufficient. whilt
any attempt to join either the Ger
mans or Anglo-French group woult
cause other splits. Thus 1t appears
likely the choice will fall on an Ital
ian.

of the counterfeit deal as was Braine.
They had both failed signally to reach
the goal sought. But this time the or
ganization had broken even with Jones,
and this fact disturbed the butler. 1t
might signify that the turning point
had been reached, and that in the fu-
ture the good luck might swing over to
the side of the Black Hundred. Jones
redoubled his cautions, reiterated his
warnings, and slept less than ever.
Indeed, as he went over the ground
he conceded a point to the Black Hun
bred. He would no longer be able
to keep tab on the organization. They
had deserted their forTe quarters

had leased the building knew nothing
except that he would have to repair
the place. The rent had been paid
year in advance, as it had been these
last eight years. He had dealt through
an attorney who knew no more of his
clients than the agent. So it will be
seen that Jones had in reality received
a check.
More than all this, it would give his
enemies renewed confidence; and this
was a deeper menace than he cared
to face. But he went about his af-
fairs as usual, giving no hint to any
one of the mental turmoil which had
possession of him.
1t is needless to state Norton did
not scoop his rivals on the counter

will mog off to the police station. And

they are turned loose again. They'll
