CARDINALS GATHER TO
SELECT SUCCESSOR AS
BENEDICT LIES IN STATE
iBy Associated Press)

Rome, Jan. 24.-While thousands
streamed past the bier of Benedict
XIV in the Basilca of st. Peters to-
day to pay reverence to the dead
prelate' Cardinals of the church were
on their way from many foreign
countries to participate in the cleo
ton of new Pope.
The brief interval before the con-
vening of the conclave, which has
been set for February 2, will, how
ever, prevent some of them-notably
Cardinal .Dougherty of Philadelphia,
and the Canadian and Brazilian car
dinals-from arriving in time to
vote, unless the election is unduly
prolonged. Cardinal O'Ctnnell of
Boston has cabled that he is taking
passage today, and has a possible
chance to enter the election provid-
ing the new Pope is not chosen on
the first ballot.
There is no outstanding figure
among the candidates for the high
post, but Cardinal Maffi, archbishop
of Pisa, is prominently mentioned as
the governments choice. Others be-
ing discussed are Cardinal LaFon-
taine of Venice and Cardinal Ratti of
Milan.
The interment of Benedict has been
fixed tentatively for tomorrow, the
usual period of lying in state being
curtailed because of the prelate's
wish that his body be not embalmed.

Chicago Loves Art
Despite Jeers of
New York's Elite

Chicago, Jan. 24.-In 1921 the Art
Institute of Chicago surpassed all
former great records of attendance
by over $4,000. The number of visit
ors to the museum during the twelve
months totalled 1,071,422, exceeding
the record of 1918 the best previous
year, by 52'552 and an increase of
69,825 over last years attendance.
This attendance is far in excess of
that registered by any other art mu-
scum of the entire country, accord
ing to Comptroller Clarence A.
Hough.
The school of the Institute is the
largest in the world. 1t draws stu
dents from every section of the
Union and from many foreign coun-
tries. The Federal Vocational Board,
or U. S. Veterans Bureau as it is
now called, is now sending nearly 100
veterans of the late war to the school
at the expense of the government.
From January.1, 1921, to January
1, 1922, the total number of students
enrolled reached 1920, including all
of those registered in day, night,
summer and childrens' classes.
