and six others dynamlted today as
the result of lightning setting fire to
a tank containing $4,000 barrels Of

DRAWING Jury IN
OIL LAND CASE.
ATTORNEYS ARE PREPARING FOR
GREAT LEGAL BATTLE IN LOW
ERY-WESTHEIMER CASE.

The greater part of the day was
spent by the attorneys in selecting a
jury in the Florence Lowery- West
heimer, ct al, case involving land in
the very heart Of the oil fields, upon
which are seven producing wells Up
to the time of going to press, II men
were in the jury box, with two per-
emptory challenges that may eliminate
one or two of that number The first
venire of 80 was exhausted, some ex-
cused for cause by the court, and
some objected to by attorneys and s
more were drawn. This too was eX-
hausted and six more have been sum-
moned to appear this afternoon. In
case the jury is completed this after
noon, the rest of the day will be taken
up by attorneys for plaintiff and de-
fendant in making their statements
to the jury Testimony will begin at
the morning session tomorrow. This
promises to be a long drawn-out af-
fair, as the legal talent on both sides
will contest bitterly every point for
their clients.

CITY WATER IS
NOT DANGEROUS
CITY PHYSICIAN STATES THAT
TASTE AND SMELL is AGAINST
1T, BUT NO GERMS LURk.

In speaking Of the condition of the
city water this morning, DR.. Booth,
city physician, stated that he realized
that it was a fierce proposition as
far as taste and smell were con-
cerned, but there were no disease
germs in the water and it was not
at all dangerous to health. The con-
dition IS brought about by the rank
vegetation along the shores of the
lake and also by the extreme warm
weather of the past week, in which
the atmosphere has been compara-
lively still; as soon as the wind blows
sufficiently strong to set waves TO
running the air will in a great meas
ure purify the water, but even in its
present state the city physician says
that it is better to use than any well
water in the city that might be laden
with typhoid germs.

WHEAT AND OATS CROP CUT.

Crop conditions in Carter county
We're never in better shape than at
the present time and the farmers. un
less some unforeseen condition arises,
will have no cause to complain Of
their years work.
The conditions have improved ina
terial!y in the last thirty days, a
flrst-class wheat and oats crop has
been harvested and now awaits the
threshers, who are already beginning
to work in this section, and will be
well under way by next week: the
yield was all that could be expected ;
wheat will make an average of 20
bushels and oats 50 to so bushels to
the acre. Cotton has improved from
. to 10 per cent and should now
show a condition of at least So per
cent against Is per cent one month
ago.
Corn shows a present condition of
100 per cent in the bottoms and -
to So per cent on the upland9 this
crop must have rain within the next
ten days to hold this condition and
make a full crop
Alfalfa has been cut once and is
ready for the mowers again; the
first crop was little weedy, but the
second crop viii be fine.
Prairie hay will show condition
Of about s. per cent, as the wet
cold spring gave the weeds a start
and the crop does not show as good
IS it should.

crops are good and with rain within
the next ten days or two weeks,
which is more than probable, they
will be excellent.

POPE Plus FRIEND
OF UNITED STATES
Places Church Here on
Equal Standing With 9th
er Countries. ,.s

ROME, Aug. 20.-Pope Plus x was
q warm friend Of America, and show
ed his feelings toward the nation and
toward American Catholics repeatedly
by word and deed. Frequently he
sent special messages to American
parishes or prelates, outside the usual
churchly routine, each showing admit
ration and love for the branch of the
church across the water.
He was firmly opposed to modern
ism in America. Late in 1908 he
issued an encyclical removing America
from the list of nations to be regarded
as missionary territory and gave 1t full
equality with the Catholic churches of
Europe.
Many instances of the Pope's kindly
been told of by returning pilgrims.
Sends Greeting.
A message to America was carried
by Cardinal Farley on his return from
Europe. The following was the mes
sage brought by Farley:
His Holiness. Pope Plus x. sends
his best wishes to the American
people. Whenever he speaks OF
America or the Americans, his face
lights up. He says that he considers
the American people most wonderful
and has the greatest admiration for
them and for American institutions"
Addressing Archbishop Farley on
the occasion of the visit to the Vati-
can by the latter. the Pope said:
What a great country is yours.
Everything is done there on a grand
scale. l have come to know and to
love America, I admire the magnift
cent independence of your people"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-08-20

there is one that pope shall not Sc
lect his successor and in this light one
of the last acts of Pope Plus x might
carry significance.
Confers With Rosa.
While he rested upon his bed still
conscious and master of his faculties
the pontiff asked to be allowed to con-
fer alone with Manager Rosa, who will
be secretary of the conclave of cardi-
nails. 1t is believed that the Pope gave
Manager Rosa his final instructions
and reposed in him his last wishes.
The two remained in conference for
nearly half an hour. The pope's breath
ing became SO difficult that the attend
ing physicians had to put an end to
the talk.
Although Cardinal Merry Del Val is
considered by some to be strong can
dldate, there have been few il any
instances where a man holding Cardi-
nal Del Walls position has been elevat-
ed to the papal chair. The authority
which he has exercised during his
term of office in the name OF the holy
rather is bound, no matter how dis
creetly contaminated, to have given
offense to many influential person
ages. Then too, at the end of a papel
reign the sacred college usually wishes
Tor change of policy and seems to be
or the opinion that the election of a
secretary of state will merely be a
continuation of the existing policy.
Ferrari Strong Candidate.
The name of Cardinal Ferrari was
mentioned in connection with the chair
or st. Peter year ago, when the seri-
Gus illness of Pope Plus x babe fair
TO make the election of a new pope
necessary within a short time. He has
maintained the most courteous rela-
lions with the members of the reign
ing house of Italy and it is likely that
his name will be put forward strongly
IN the conclave assembly.
Cardinal Diomede Falconi is an
American by citizenship, having be-
come naturalized in that country when
he was living and working in the west
ern region as member of the great
franciscan order for which he has
| done so much. This fact is regarded
by many as a serious bar to his pro-
motion as is also the fact that ne is
the member of an order of Monks.
There has already been a disposition
among members of the sacred college
to feel that the election of q monk

LEADER
FOLLOWS Pope
into ETERNITY
Summons to Father Francis
Xavier Wernz Comes 10
Minutes After Plus Enters
Great Beyond.
Backed by Kaiser William,
Head of Society, Elected
to Office in Rome in
1906.
rRY WiRE.1

ROME. Aug. 2O-Father Francis
Xavier WernZ. head OF the order OF
Jesuits, and known as The Black
Pope" died here at 1870 this morning
ten minutes after the death OK rope
Plus X.
The death of Father Wernz, who was
70 years old, came suddenly, although
1t was known that he has not DeeIl
in the best Of health for numper Oh
years.
The BLACK Pope" was on terms or
intimacy with Pope Plus and the lat
ter's illness depressed him.
Father Wernz was elected to MS
high office in September 8, 1906, at
conclave of the Jesuits in Rome Wnen
they met to choose successor 10
Father Martin, who died the preceding
May.
Backed BY Kaiser.
Father Wernz, who was German
had the powerful backing OF Kaiser
William and this was one of the big
factors that secured for him the cleo
ton over Ruloph Meyer of st. Louis,
who seemed to be the logical choice.
Father Wernz wrote a number OF
books dealing with the most profound
questions Of canonical law and was
consulting choice for ecclesiastical
dignitaries.
He was called the "Black Pope be-
cause he exercises power over the
Jesuits as does the Pope over the en-
tire world, and because he always is
garbed in black when he Is not cele-
brating mass.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-08-20

will be unduly favoring this particular
order at the expense of others.
Coming down to q general consider
alton of the possibilities, it is found
that of the thirty Italian members of
the Sacred college there is a consdera-
BILE gap to be eliminated on account
of advanced age.
Judging from the past elections it
would seem probable that the cardi-
nails will select a pope who is under
seventy but who is older than fifty
eight or there abouts. However, this
is only one of the many elements
which makes the unofficial picking OF
a new pope a difficult task.
