FROM
AUSTRIA AS WAR
WAS DECLARED

How he managed to escape from
Hungary after war had been declared
on SerVia and reach Holland to
take passage on the New Amster-
dam, on which he arrived here the
first of the week, is being recounted
tor friends by Stefan Stuczko, of Me-
chanic street. Mr.. Stuczko, who is
beyond the reservist limit, was not
trying ito evade being drafted, but
had completed a stay of two years in
the old country, after which he had
intended for long time to return
He declares that he knew nothing of
the war until he boarded the Neuw
amsterdam, of the Holland-American
line. However, he says he thought
it very strange that everywhere he
went on his way to Holland he found
the streets thronged with soldiers.
1t seems that Stucko did not care to
make the matter his business lest he
and his wife be embroiled in some
trouble, so he was contented to do
without asking questions until safe

He left his native state of Szepes,
Hungary, Just after war had been de-

feiting his return ticket, which he
had purchased when he left this
country two years ago.

MAY RUN WEAVER
# G. D. P. MAN
IS TOO STRONG

Definite selection of regular Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor may de-
pend upon the adjudged strength of
whom the Republicans may choose,
it is reported in political circles
here today Former Excise Commits
sioner Richard Henderson is said to
be the Democratic choice to make
the run under favorable conditions,
but with an exceptionally strong Re-
publican in the race, or the possible
fusion of Republicans with Progress
sives in support of Adam Eckert,
who is an independent candidate,
Alderman-at-Large w. Guy Weaver
may become the Democratic choice.
It is freely reported among prom
inent Democrats that Mr.. Weaver as
pires to enter the mayoralty race and
1t is stated that he would make an
exceptionally strong candidate. How
ever, 1t seems to be the desire of the
leaders to refrain from jeopardizing
alderman at large position without
absolute necessity In event Mr..
Weaver entered the mayoralty race,
and was successful, the alderman-at-
large position might remain vacant
until the general election next year.
Such was the case about two years
ago and the aldermen chose one from
their number to serve as chairman.

HUMBLE IN LIFE,
POPE REMAINS
HUMBLE IN DEATH
By Henry Wood United Press Staff
Correspondent.

Rome, August 21-Humble in life
Pope Plus x remains humble in
death. His last words were for the
poor and today thousands are pass
ing before his bier paying final hom-
age to the simple peasant who rose to
the fisherman's throne.
At 9 o'clock today the body of the
late pontiff was removed from the
Vatican throne room to the chapel
of the Sacrament in St. Petersburg.
This is not in accordance with ira
dition Of precedence, but it was the
desire of His Holiness expressed be-
fore his death. The century old ira
dition that the feet of the late pope
may extend outside of the rail of the
chapel so that they may be kissed
by the thousands paying final hom-
age, was also shattered today. In
conformity with the wishes of the
late pontiff those who will view the
body within the next days will not
be permitted to KISS the rect. with
the transfer of the body of His Holi-
ness from the Vatican to ST Peter 8
today the real pomp and magniti-
eence of the funeral services began.
At O'Clock this morning the hum
BILE relatives of the late pope paid
their final visits in the throne room.
Chaken with grief by his death they
were led weeping from the chamber
and preparations Immediately made
for the transfer of the body. AS the
final ceremony progressed all prep
arations are being made for the con-
claye which will be held on the tenth
day after death. Thirty cardinals,
twenty-five of them italians, have al
ready reached Rome. Throughout
the time in which the body remains
in the chapel of the sacrament, SOL
emn masses will be constantly cele-
brated by the cardinals, who have al
ready reached Rome.

Cardinal francesca Della Volpe,
chamberlain of the Vatican, now has
charge of the church affairs until
new pope is selected by the conclave
of cardinals. He is shown in this il
lustration surrounded by some of the
older cardinals whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
the election. No one can tell upon
whom the choice will fall. His pic
ture may appear in this group or he
may be some obscure prelate whose
name has never been even dreamed
of, as was the case with Cardinal
Sarto, the late Pope Plus x. There
are four cardinals in the class the
Italians describe as "papabili," or
persons of promising papal chances
