TO HOLD MASSES here
FOR CARDINAL FALCONIO
Dead Catholic Prince Served Nine
Years in Washington.

Cardinal Diomede Falconio, former
apostolic delegate to the United States,
died Wednesday at Rome. according to
a telegram yesterday.
Cardinal Falconio was extremely well
known in Washington, and 1t is probable
that mention of his death will be made
at the masses in all the Catholic churches
of the city next Sunday and prayers Of
fered for him.
Mgr Falconio came to Washington as
papal delegate on September 80, 1902, and
remained until November. 1911, when he
was recalled to Rome, and made car
dinal. He was succeeded by the pres
ent delegate. Most Rev. John Bonzano.
Cardinal Falconfo was born at Pes
cocostanzo, in the Abruzzi. Italy, in 1872.
He entered the Franciscan Order on
September 2, 1860, and upon completing
his studies in 1866. was sent as mission
ary to the United States.
A year after his arrival in this country
he was ordained a priest.
In 1868 he was made president of st.
Bonaventure's College. in the same year
he became legal citizen OF the United
States,
He spent the next ten years of his life
in Newfoundland as administrator of the
cathedral at Harbor Grace. He returned
to the United States in 1852. but after a
brief stay went to Italy where .he was
elected provincial of the Franciscans in
the district of his birthplace.
For eight years he held various high
positions in his order in Italy
From 1899 to 1902 he was apostolic dele
gate to Canada.
Archbishop Falconio's last public ut
terance before leaving this country for
Rome was remarkable tribute to a
young Washingtonian, the Rev. Ignatius
fealy, at that time assistant pastor Of
81. Joseph's Church, in this city. The
papal delegate lauded the work Father
Fealy was then doing for the spiritlal
and temporal betterment of the Italian
poor. Father Fealy subsequently offered
his services as chaplain in the Amy,
at the time the Mexican situation was
frst becoming tense. He is at present
chaplain at Fort Schofleld Barracks, in

DELAY Of HEARINGS
MAY DOOM DRY BILL
Slight Chance Seen for Passage Of
! Sheppard Prohibition Measure.

Prospects of "dry" Capital on No
vember /. 1917. were not encouraged by
the progress OF. the Sheppard bill for pro-
hibition In the District before the House
District Committee yesterday.
Hearings on the bill were postponed
until February q. after which the COM
mittee will take up the bill for considera-
ton section by section.
This action means that only eleven call
endar days and nine legislative days will
remain for the House to consider the
bill, and 1t now appears that the stress
of imperative legislation will push the
measure aside until the next Congress.
Prohibition followers admitted last
night the chances for enactment of the
Sheppard bill at the present session were
not bright, but declared that they would
oppose to the utmost dilatory tactics
designed to block immediate considera-
tion.
When the committee met yesterday
have the bill reported without recon-
mendation on February 16. Represent
ative Burke. of Wisconsin, offered a SUBJ
stitute motion fixing February 20 as the
day for a vote. Representative Wheeler
amended this by fixing February 21 as
the day for voting, and this motion was

were Representatives Crosser, Hammill,
