LONDON, Jan. 21--London went 70
bed tonight in the belief that the
pope had died this afternoon. The
report appears to have been carried
throughout Europe and was accepted
by church and civil officials as true.
The German reichstag suspended

of the pontiff. and the first editions
of the sunday papers contained that
report,

the cardinals staff notified all the
English press agencies that the cardi-

pope's death, and confirmed this 70

were tolled at Westminster and the
Southwark Catholic Cathedral, and
announcement of the death was made
from the pulpit OF the latter church,
followed by n requiem mass.
Late at night the cardinals chief
secretary informed the news agencies
that the information communicated to
them that the cardinal had received
an official report of the pope's death

Benedict Ky, Elected
During War, known
AS Standard Bearer

which objected to the appointment OF
Monsigncr Peprelli as inter-nuncic

anti American feelings as shown

Sympathy With U. S.
Benedict XIV. always showed a
great desire for the closest relations
with America and left nothing unat-
tempted to indicate his sympathy in
anything affecting the United States
This was. showno the occasion of
the Lusitania, when the pope, not
withstanding his strict neutrality in
the war-he preferred to call 1t 'im-
artiality"-telegraph to the kaiser
his adherence of the action which
had shocked the civilized world. The
pope always regarded the United
States as country which would
play an important part in bringing
about the pacification of Europe. and
through Monsignor Bonzano, apos-
tolic delegate in Washington, he sent
on several occasions during the war
messages to President Wilson ex-
pressing the feeling that America
might assist in conciliating the bel
ligerent countries.
His most important effort In con-
clusion Of peace was the note he sent
on Aug /, 1917, to all the powers,
which was forwarded to President
Wilson through England, as there
are no diplomatic relations between
the holy see and the United States.
Benedict XIV. always maintained that
his note was the first step towards
the Washington arms conference.
Indeed, he went much further by sag
gesting the suppression of conscrip-
ton as the means TO induce the Eu-
ropean countries to disarm

Benedict XIV. from the beginning
of his pontificate showed that he
would above all be a political pope,
following the policy of his early
friend and counsellor, Cardinal Ram
polla, and of Leo XIII. Plus Y. died
of grief for not having been able TO
prevent the world war and Benedict
XIV. expended such energy in trying
to stop or mitigate the conflict that
many people, including several Amer
lean archbishops and bishops who ap-
preached him afterwards, think that
the efforts made in this endeavor
seriously affected his constitution.
Like Leo XIII. he was most anxious
to establish diplomatic relations with
all countries and he succeeded in
having in Rome representatives of
the entire world, except of the Sean
dinavian states and the United States.
While negotiations were proeeedig
for the establishment of a papal nun
clio at Toxic, Benedict XIV. failed to
have an inter -nuncio appointed at
FelSing, through the opposition of the
French government, which, 1t is said,
feared that a papal representative in
China might affect their right of pro-
tecting Catholics in the Far East.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21--
California, except regions ada
cent to the ocean, will have it's
third successive morning of kill
ing frost tomorrow, the weather
bureau here forecast tonight.
Later in the day, however,
slightly more moderate tempera-
tures may be expected in North
ern California and the great VAL
leys in the central of the state.
The slow moderation of temper
ature from the southern citrus
belts is regarded as an adVan-
tage to the growers there, on the
ground that under these condi-
tions the frozen oranges and lem
ons will thaw out gradually and
the crop loss be minimized.
The weather bureau declined to
discuss the amount of damage
done to crops, saying it could not
not be ascertained accurately for
10 days. Reports from organiza-
tions of growers, however, told
of heavy losses. An estimate of
20 per cent damage in the orange
crop at PorterVille, in the San
Joaquin valley was made by the
officials of growers organiza-
tions there. acting in concert.

Elected to the supreme office of

deadly array. and gravely did he face
the world war, bearing in his hands
the standard of Christ.

peals for peace and justice We're re-

and in some instances with leagued
purpose of rejecting them. Yet
through these long years Of bloody
and destructive war. at the end of his
too brief pontificate, he stood out be-
fore the world as the representative
Of the Prince OF Peace.

kindness brought him nearer the poor

It was a week almost to the minute
| since Frank r. Stewart left Phoenix
| for Washington to inquire what the
| dickens was holding up his nominal
tion for collector of internal revenue
for this district, that word was re-
ceived here that the nomination had
been in daily expectation Of displace-
collectors term expired several weeks
ago. His resignation has been in the
treasury department, and he ! 8
been in dairy expectation Of displace-
ment.
Though Mr.. Stewart was without
the endorsement OF the state Repub-
lican organization he had something
in his bag of tricks that was worth
two of that. One was the long and
intimate friendship Of Attorney GEN
eral Daugherty, and the other was
his record as the original Harding
man in Arizona and his constant as
surance of Mr.. Harding Throughout
the campaign that he would carry
Arizona.
Just before the election he ap-
praised the Republican majority in
the state at 5000, and on the night
OF IT, before the returns were in, he
wired the headquarters at Marion
that the majority for the head Of the
ticket was 1000. That kind of pre-
science was worthy OF reward.
But the opposition of the state or
ganization had a dilatory effect upon
the appointment. 1t was understood
that Mr.. Stewart was offered other
and better posts, but circumstances
compelled him to remain in Arizona.
Many years ago he was active in
Ohio politics and later for time ). as
associated with the postoffice at
Kansas City. Then, about 25 years
ago he was given an important post
in the forestry service that brought
him to this state where he has since
resided.

that the girls went to public school,

SCORE OF AMENDMENTS ADDED
To HUGHES OPEN DIPLOMACY
PLAN FOR CHINESE TREATIES
Sympathy With U. S.
[RepublIcan a. P. leased WIreI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Two more
American resolutions based on the
principle of open diplomacy and an
open door Of commercial opportunity
in China were adopted today by the
Far Eastern committee.
The proposal for showdown Of
all international agreements affect
ing China's interests, presented by
Secretary Hughes, was given the
committee approval only after score
of amendments had been added, but
American spokesmen insisted its
meaning had not been materially
changed.
Under a supplemental declaration
proposed by Elihu Root and accepted,
the powers agree not to support in
the future any engagements entered
into by their nationals designed to
create social spheres of influence
or exclusive opportunities within
China.
The two decisions were hailed in
American quarters as insuring new
era of open dealing and fair play
in all that pertains to China's eco
nomic development BY the Chinese
delegation, however, they were not
received with an equal enthusiasm,
one Chinese spokesman saying s
COLLEAGUES were not very satisfied
with the final form of the much
amended proposal for treaty public
ity.
Among the Japanese, the intent and
substance of the publicity resolution
were given with warm appreciation,
but grave doubts were expressed as
to the possibilities of its practical APP
plication to engagements and con-
tracts made in China by individuals.
Throughout the debate. the Japanese
held to their view that Tokyo had
no authority to compel its nationals
to divulge details of their engage
ments in China, and it was said to-
night In Japanese circles that the
qualifying phrase under which lists
of Chinese engagements are to be
'as nearly complete as may be pos
S ble' might turn out to be a sig
nificant feature of the resolution.
AS adopted. the Hughes proposal
provides that the powers other than
China agree to compile lists OF their
own commitments and those of their
nationals in China. and to forward
the lSAlS 10 lAS secretary general
Of the conference when convenient.
Future similar agreements must also
be filed within so days after COM
pletion. In two additional articles
China agrees to be bound by the
same stipulations as to informing the

resented here are invited to adhere
to the arrangement.
