 ROME, Aug. 2O.-The body of Pope Plus x, who died peacefully this morn- ing, has been laid out in state for thousands to view. The pathos of his passing has been accentuated by the death of his sister Anna. Always she was at his bedside in times of sick ness, she was kneeling near him when he breathed his last. His sister was assisted from the death chamber and collapsed soon afterwards. Dr. Amici attended her but alarming symptoms developed with high fever from which she did not rally.
 Formal ceremonies in connection with the death of the pope occurred at an early hour in the morning on the arrival of Cardinal Della Volpe who was received at the Vatican by the papal secretary A part of the cere- monies consisted of an official recog- milton of the pope's death.
 Amid deep silence, the chamberlain sprinkled the body with holy water and at the same time thrice calling the pope by name-"Giuseppe Sarto" Then, turning to those who knelt by the bedside, he announced solemnly ''The pope is really dead"
 At four o'clock in the morning the celebration of masses began in tho death chamber for the repose of tho soul of Plus K.
 The day broke cloudy and heavy af ter unusually clear skies. It seems a: if nature is mourning for the pope most beloved by the. people of Rome Around the Vatican many gathered The great doors were half closed ant those who mourned spoke in whispers Within the Vatican preparations wer'

Opposition in House to Ad- ministration Project for Government Owned Mer- chant Marine Pending Action by Citizens

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Emer- gency shipping legislation was ad- vanced a step further when the senate and house committees on commerce voted favorable reports on the bill to create bureau of war risk and insur- ance in the treasury department to in sure ships of American registry sub jected to hazards of European war
 Senator Clarke, chairman of the com- merce committee will call the bill up for passage in the senate tomorrow and the house committee, plans to expedite its course on the other side of the capitol. So far little opposition to the measure has developed, government in- surance in such an emergency being recognized as a necessary accompani- ment to the recent enactment admitting foreign built ships to American regis try.
 The governments plan to purchase and operate ships in overseas trade for the restoration of commerce during the was is being formulated into bill which will be expedited as rapidly as possible Senator Clarke and Representative Alexander, chairman of the house mer- chant marine committee, have tenta- tive drafts of the bill, which would provide for the organization of cor poration to operate a line of ships to be purchased by the government. The sale of Panama canal bonds to raise money for the project is contemplated
 Some opposition to this project has developed in the house
 Representative Alexander, after a conference with Clarke tonight said the bill as outlined was not in shape for introduction and intimated there might be delay in it's consideration. Demo- cratic senators said the senate com mittee would proceed, however, inde- pendent of the houses acton.
 We believed" explained MT. Alex ander. that with the passage of the bill allowing foreign built vessels to come in under American registry with the expected passage of tho war risk insurance bill, congress has done all that is necessary to meet the situation. If the shipping interests did not go ahead now and buy ships as we have expected, then it will be time to con- slider the governments plan of approp- riating money for their purchase"

 The new pope will be the first pom tiff elected without the veto previously accorded foreign powers, as one of the this privilege of centuries although he owed his own election to it.
 The cardinals met at the Vatican this afternoon. All wore violet capes as a sign of mourning. Cardinals Della Volpe and Merry Del Val went to the pope's apartment to affix their seals on the late pontiff's private papers and belongings. The chamberlain took possession of the Fisherman's ring which was renewed when Pope Leo died, the old F'isherman's ring being lost at that time.
 The cardinals visited the death | chamber, where they viewed the body of the pope, which lay on slopine | bier, covered with a white cloth under rich red canopy. The body was l clothed in a white robe and red cape
 Red silk gloves covered his hands, or the fingers of which were the glitterine rings of his office. A mitre of cloth oi | gold was on his head.

Imposing Ceremonies Mark the Appearance of Car ranza at the Goal Toward Which He Started Eight cen Months ago
CITY OF MEXICO
 ENJOYS HOLIDAY
Provisional Preside ent, Warmly Received, Pro- misses the People Some thing They Never Had Before
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

MEXICO CITY, August 2O.-Caf- ranza, supreme chief of the Mexican revolution, from today provisional president of the republic, entered the capital at noon. He was given an enthusiastic welcome by crowds on the streets It is estimated that more than 15O,OOO persons crowded the line of march of the new presl- dent and his followers, which ex- tended from the village Of AtZeapotz : alec to the national palace, a dis tance of more than six miles. There was not the slightest disor- der as Carranza and his staff passed through the cheering crowds which showered them with flowers and con- fetti, and from which came cries of Long live Carranzai Long live con stitutional government"
 At dawn today the constitutionalist troops began forming at close inte;- vals in a double line along the entire
 distance of which the victorious con-
 stitutionalist leader was to pass
 Back of the troops were ranged sightseers, and on every roof were others.
 It was near noon when Carranza,
 mounted on superb horse, accom-
 panied by his staff and generals of
 the northeast, central and northwest
 division of his army. left Atzeapotz alec escorted by a squadron of cav
 airy and the fourth Sonora battalion
 of infantry which acted as a guard
 of honor. On reaching the city linn it's the column was met by the mayor and city council of the capital who delivered to Carranza the keys of the
 city, After this ceremony the caval-
 cade proceeded to historic Chapul- tepec castle where two batteries of
 artillery fired a salute in honor of the new chief executive.
 Along the beautiful Peso de la Re- forma avenue hundreds of school
 children were dressed in white, each carrying a bouquet and a Mexican flag. As Carranza passed they sang hymn written for the occasion en- titled, Union and Liberty" When the procession reached the National theatre it halted so that the chief executive might receive at the hands of a delegation of work men a. flag which Madero dropped at that very spot on the fateful ninth of February, 1913, the date of the Huerta -Diaz uprising.
 Passing down Avenida San Fran cisco, the crowds gave the new pres- ident a continuous ovation. This av- enue leads to the historic Plaza de la Constitution, the cathedral and the national municipal palaces forming it's sides. Here an immense th.ong had been gathered since early morn ing and cheered Carranza as he pass ed through the main entrance to the National Palace.
 A few moments after he entered he appeared on the balcony under the Liberty Bell. and addr' ssed the crowd, promising a new era and d real constitutional government. The troops then passed in review before the new executive, a band of 900 pieces massed in the square, mean while. playing martial airs.
 It was a holiday and all places of business were closed.

New York's Favorable Report

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Except for the stock exchanges and the foreign exchange situation, where the dead lock remains unbroken, there is in creasing evidence that the domestic financial situation is moving into smoother waters. The foreign eX- change situation is made more com plicated by the utter lack of Reichs- marks, suggesting absolute interrup- ton with Berlin. Brokers on ex- change, discouraged by the failure of yesterdays conference, now look to Washington for a solution of the problem.
 Regarding the stock exchange sit uation there are rumors of the for nation in a tentative way of a bank ing syndicate aggregating at least s200, 100000, designed to support the market, once operations are resumed.
 The most interesting news from abroad was a statement of the Bank of England showing increased gold holdings of s25,0O0,OO0 and a gain in other securities of s140,000. despite a. marked decrease of clearings.
 In the money market some loans were renewed at 6 per cent. but the prevailing rate is nearer per cent.

 On Germany's eastern frontier there has been considerable outpost fighting which indicates that the Russians are completing their work of concentra- tion.

Amaya's Fatal Mistake

"yo r dtdI mistake
 tSpeclal to The Republican,
 SUPERIOR, Ariz., Aug 20-Wander- Ing into town shortly after seven this morning, Ubaldo Amaya, one of the MeXican wood haulers, known to have been concerned in the killing of Con- stable Brown near Ray yesterday met his death at the hands of a posse, to whom he had refused to surrender. This accounts for the second leader of the Mexican bandits, Pete Smith, the half breed, having been killed the first day.
 IL was a weary, scared Mexican who drove a train of burros and some goats into Superior early this morning Amaya's coming was conveyed to the 1 posse, which had tracked him to within few miles of this place. and they ap- preached his house, in an auto with R. P. Jones and Walter Sanders Throw up your hands." commanded J. H. Davis, leader of the posse. The order was repeated in Spanish. There was no reply.
 In a moment Amaya broke out the back door, and fled down the gulch. the officers pursuing. As he climbed the hill on the other side, Davis fired. the shot taking effect in Amaya's leg Still. he ran, and was distancing his pursuers. when Willie Stevens, an In- dian employed in the mines here. con- fronted him. Amaya would not even then stop. and Stevens shot him in the thigh. The wound was fatal. and Amaya died shortly afterward. Ubaldo Amaya was known as dead shot, and familiar with every inch of l the Pinal Mountains. Consequently. the posses, searching for him, had lit tie luck, until the flying murderer made the fatal mistake of entering Superior. He hoped. by coming in afoot, driving the burros to establish peaceable inn pression, and perhaps dodge the off, cers whom he knew to be pursuing. He had parted from his companion. 1 Antonio Lopez, the last remaining member of the gang. in this part of the mountains. Lopez, who is also a bad man. was joined. it is believed. by M. H. Cacillas. from Miami. and now. the Indian trailers are leading Sheriff Hall and a few remaining members of the posse to their hiding place.
