ROME, Aug. 3l.-The cardinals OF
the Sacred College today entered up
on the solemn duty OF selecting a
successor to his holiness Pope Plus
X. These princes of the church,
walled up within the confines OF the
vatican, will ballot among themselves
until one OF their number is elected
to the papal throne, which the simple
peasant Cardinal Sarto accepted only
after pleading with all his heart that
he be passed by. The cardinals are

include the Pauline and Sistine chap
els, the ground floor and the next
three floors of the vatican buildings
around the court of St. Damaso; the
apartments of the baggiotamo of the
vatican, the rooms under the ponfi-
fcal secretary of state and numerous
other rooms.
The extent OF these may be judged
by the fact that each of the members
Of the sacred college is provided
with suite of three rooms in which
are not only his personal belonging
but also those of the priest and do,
mestic which each cardinal is allowed
10 take into the conclave with him

posed OF 66 members, but all have
not reached Rome today. There are
also accommodations for the cooks
servants and two physicians, barber:
and other employees who are walled
no with the cardinals and whose
presence is necessary Tor the welfare
of the latter. In addition there ar'
vatican dignitaries, other than th'
cardinals, who have certain junction
to perform in connection with IN
ceremonies OF the election OF tn
new pope.

New York Aug. 21.-For nearly half an
hour this afternoon New York was as
dark as night while it was visited by one
of the severest electrical storms in its
history. One death, a panic among 200O
bathers in pavilion struck by lightning
and injury to seven persons caught in the
path of a spectacular Broadway runa-
way sums up the known casualties from
the storm. It brought relief from the in
tense heat, the temperature dropping
from 81 to 4 degrees. The wind blew 80
miles an hour. The local weather bureau
said that since its establishment no
storm had plunged New York into such
intense darkness.
Louis Sen, a Chinese farmer, was killed
by bolt while working in a field at AS
toria, J.. l.
Warning of the storms approach sent
1000 bathers into a pavilion at Bright
ton Beach a few minutes before light
ming struck the place, putting the light
ing apparatus out of commission. Some
one cried Fire" and in the resultant
scramble many women tainted.

thunder in Union square and dashed
through seurrying throngs several blocks
down Broadway to Astor Place. leaving

INVESTIGATION
REPORT ON The
HIGH PRICES or
FOOD IN BOSTON
No Unfair Advantage
of Purchaser by the
Retailers

Boston, Aug. 21.-Abnormal buying
of foodstuffs by the well-to-do since
the outbreak of the European war has
caused a shortage in supply followed
by an increase in price. according to
the report made TO Mayor Curley by
inspectors of the Beard of Health to-
day.
Our Investigations do not seem to
indicate any unfair advantage taken
by either the wholesaler or the retail
merchants" declares the report in
conclusion.
Flour has taken the most marked
increase" the report states. This
seems to have been caused by an in
creased sale to. consumers who are
stocking up during war times, result
ing in temporary shortage and also
the uncertainty of receipts by whole
salers. There appears to be a feeling
that the increased price of flour will
not remain long.
In regard to the increased price of
sugar." continues the report. there
seems no doubt that the war has had
its effect. We are informed by re-
liable sources that upon the outbreak
of the war England, which buys the
greater part of its sugar from Aus
tria and Germany. was compelled to
go to Cuba for it's supply, with the
result of a considerable increase OF
the price of raw sugar in Cuba The
United States Sugar Refineries. which
also purchase the bulk of their sugar
in Cuba, are compelled to pay the
increased price on raw sugar and of
course this must necessarily increa sc
the price to the consumer Should the
war continue any length of time, and
England continue to draw its supply
from the same market as the United
States, there seems to be no relief
