Archbishop Of
Philadelphia to
Be BeMadeCardinal
Appointment of Most Rev.
Dennis Dougherty Will Be
Made at Secret Con.
sistory in March. .
By The !. ssoc;ated Press

Rome, Feb. 13.-The Vatican an
nounced today that the Most Rev.
Dennis J. Dougherty, archbishop OF
Philadelphia, will be created a cardi-
nal at the secret consistory in March.
Monsignor Dougherty will be the
only new American cardinal to be
named. Archbishop Mundelein of
Chicago, and Archbishop Harris OF
New York, although they probably
will receive the red hat, will not be
included in the appointments i'll
March. even as cardinals reserved in
pectore, as the pontiff generally has
recourse to this system only when
there are wcighty reasons not to
publish Immediately the creation Of
certain cardinals. ..
No important reasons exist for the
maintenance Of secrecy over the
creation OF American cardinals and
it is not believed that any to be re-
served i'll pecto-e will belong to the
United States.
Pope Vicar of Christ.
In Vatican circles, it is pointed
out that, according to the Catholic
doctrine, "the pope is the vicar OF
Christ on earth, represents the divine
authority, is the intermediary be-
tween heaven and faithful and fixes
the dogma, as he is infallible be-
cause interpreting the divinity and
consequently cannot be subject to
control or receive advice as would
beht democratic chief"
Therefore, the creation OF cardi-
mails is entrusted in an uncontrol-
liable way to the will of the pontift.
Monsignor Dougherty is expected
to arrive February %, and will be
received with the honors due his new
status. ...
No official list of the cardinals
to be appointed las been prepared.
owning to delay by the king of Spain
to reply that the choice of the pope
for Spanish cardinals are persona
grata to him. 1t is understood that
the king has convoked a council
OF ministers to ask their opinion.
H. c. of L. Hard Blow.
Explanation of the fact that no
new cardinals residing here arc to
be created may be found in the high
cost of living, it is said at the Vati-
can. Members OF the sacred college
to the Curia Romano re-
ceive 22,000 lire per year from the
papal revenues, and there is SOME
llesitancy in adding to the burden.
The salaries were fixed in 1851,
when it was possible to lease fine
apartment for 1900 lire, but now
even moderately comfortable dwell
ling place costs $4,000. Several carr
dinals recently told The Vatican they
would like to be exempt from keep
ing carriage or motor car. but this
was refused by the pontiff, he de-.
claring the cardinals should not ride
in public vehicles.
Princes OF the church have re-
ceived, in addition to their salaries.
which amount to con-
siderable sums.
Since the war, the bulk OF the
Vatican's revenues comes from
America. @

Congressman Probes Case of

Encouraging Letter.

sNory in The Bee setting forth the
difficulties William Scholl of Onla-
ha was experiencing in obtaining
citizenship because Of his inability
to prove continuous residence, took
time to look into the case, especially
because Scholl had the impression
that his five motherless children, who
are on their way to the United States,
would be denied admission because OF
their fathers failure to establish
citizenship.
Notwithstanding he is up to his
ears with legislative matters. Big
Jeff" called on the commissioner
general of immigration today in be-
half Of Scholl and after a conference
with that gentleman sent Scholl the
following letter:
Permit me 10 state that according
to the commissioner of Immigration
here your fears are ungrounded. The
immigration act provides, in sub
stance, that children may come to
parents, parents to children, wife to
husband, etc, without being sub
jected to the usual requirements.
"Thus it would seem that yor chill
dren will be admitted to the United
States without difficulty. You may
be required to give school bond"
to show that they will receive proper
education, but the test Of literacy is
not applied, the commissioner in
forms
"As 10 your citizenship, ] am
pleased to enclose a copy of bill
recently introduced III congress, in
which 1 seek to amend section 10 of
the Immigration and naturalization
act of June %, 1906, to allow for
naturalization in cases such as yours.
I ain informed by the committee on
naturalization. house OF representa-
tives, that provision along this line
is to be included in the next n,tural-
ization act presented by congress,
and there seems every reason to sup
pose that it will become law"
