Secretary to Pope Benedict
XIV Passes SuddenIu

Rome Cardinal Dominic Ferrata,
the cardinal secretary of state, dice
Sunday.
The immediate cause Of the death OF
Cardinal Ferrata was peritonitis, an
outcome Of his protracted illness. Be-
cause Of this peritonitis, it was consid-
cred imprudent to operate.
The death of the cardinal was not
unexpected. The news was conveyed
to the Pope by telephone and his COM
ment was: Goods will be done, but
it takes from me dear friend and my
right hand. !"
The Pope Immediately retired to his
private apartments, where he prayed
for the repose Of the soul of the de-
parted cardinal.
The secretary of state passed away
surrounded by faithful friends. He
was conscious to the last moment.
His last remark was: II am so tired;
/ go to join my savior.
Cardinal Ferrata was stricken with
appendicitis soon after his appoint
ment on September A to the officie of
papal secretary of state. The cardinal
was born at Montefiascone, Italy, in
1847. He was created and proclaimed
cardinal June 22, 1896. For six
years he was papal nuncio at Paris and
later was prefect Of the Congregation
Of bishops in Rome.

Worlds Baseball Series
Won bY Boston Braves

Boston-The Boston National league
club completed the most remarkable
record in modern professional baseball
by defeating the Philadelphia Ameri.
cans in the fourth and final game Of
the worlds series at Fenway Park
Tuesday by score of 8 to l.
Beginning with their rush from last
place in the senior league in the mid.
die Of July, the Braves have broken
traditions and records in the National
sport with speed and abandon during
the last three months.
They emerged late in the Afternoon
champions of the universe, leaving Q
trail Of startling surprises and upsets
in their wake which it will be hard tt
duplicate in years to come.
Last and far from the least of theil
accomplishments was the overthrow in
four consecutive games of the world
famous baseball machine of Connie
Mack. with its hundred thousand dollar
infeld, home-run heroes and corps Of
skillfully blended veteran and youthful
pitching stars.
To the victors belong the spoils and
the credit, and unexpected as was the
crushing defeat, the Mackmen took it
in .sportsmanlike spirit, praising the
winners and offering no excuses for
their failure to hold their national
league rivals in check. In fact, none
are available, for the Bostonians for
the Bostonians out-played and out
gained their more experienced. oppon-
ents in every sgame and department.
of play. The best that could be said
of the Athletics by their warmest ad-
mirers was that the team, neither COL
lectively nor as individuals, appeared
to get going in the form shown in pre-
vious world series.

Germany Is Preparing
to Attack Great Britain

Amsterdam Reports are current in
Berlin that the Krupps have completed
enormously heavy guns Of calibre
and range never before attempted and
that a large feet Of Zeppelins is being
collected near Kiel awaiting favor
able opportunity to sail for England,
according to the statements of Brit
ish newspaper man who has just re-
turned from Berlin to Amsterdam.
Artillery officers assured this cores
pondent that the new Krupp guns have
q range Of about 25 miles and probably
are destined for use at some channel
port in event the Germans secure q
foothold there. He also says that the
aeroplane factories in Germany are
working day and night supplying ma
chimes and that 200 aviators are quail
flying for military service every week.
The British are more hated than
either the French or Russians" he
said. 'The Germans would rather
capture one Englishman than 20
others. In Germany England is
blamed for it all, rightly or wrongly.
She is accused Of being at the bottom
Of this war. Neither officers nor men
of the German army seem to have
much regard for the British army as
a fighting machine, but they freely ad-
mire the pluck of the British officers
and the rapid range-finding abilities of
British artillery.
Judging from what / saw in Ber-
lin, that city at this moment holds an
other five or six army corps Of able
bodied young men attached either to
the first or second reserve or to the
landsturm. The same proportionately
may be said Of all the other German
cities. Everywhere I was struck by
the boundless enthusiasm for war.

Fraud Convictions Stand.

San Francisco - The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals denied an APP
peal Of Charles E. Houston and John
III. Bullock from their sentence In 1912
to year in prison and fines of $4,000
each on conviction Of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government in the sale Of
coal. The appeal was made on tech
nical grounds which were upheld in one
dissenting opinion. Houston and Bull
lock were found guilty in the Federal
courts in Washington of having COM
bined to exact exorbitant prices for
coal delivered to army officials in Sc
attic in 1908. Between them Houston
and Bullock obtained $92,041 on
checks signed by Quartermaster J. e.
Baxter. The government charged that
they had stifed all bidding and that
the moneys obtained were far in excess
Of reasonable price for the coal.

State to Lease TlDo Lakes
Rich In Salt Deposits

Salem ~ The State Land board has
decided to lease Albert and Summer
lakes, which contain rich salt deposits,
and announced that it would advertise
for bids at once. All bids must be
received by December 10, and must be
accompanied by certified checks OF
bonds for $40, 900 as guarantees Of
good faith on the part of the bidders.
Inasmuch as there is difference Of
opinion as to the value of the salt de-
posits, the board decided that it would
be to the best interest Of the state to
lease the lakes rather than sell them
outright, as had been proposed. It is
planned that the state be given roy
atty Of 25 per cent or more and that 1t
be guaranteed minimum payment an.
