Nephew.

Rome, March 6.--Popc Benedict XIV
when he died was possessed of no prop.
erty except those few belongings which
before my assumption Of the Roman
pontificate wero already publicly regis
tered in my name and located in the
communes of Pcgli, near Genoa, and
Bologna" These belongings were left
by him to his nephew, the son of his
brother, Giovanni Antonio Della Chiesa
The Pontiff disposed of all of his per.
sonal estate after his elevation.
These facts beca known today when
the will Of Benedict was opened. II was
dated February 20, 1916, and its con-
tents indicated that it was drawn while
the Pope reflected on the terrors of the
war. The opening of the document took
place in the Offices of Carlo Patriarca,
consulting administrator of the prop
erty of the Holy See, before notary
and the necessary witnesses.
In part the viii reads:
he thought that my life is in God S
hands, and that from one moment Ia
another | might he taken away, coun-
sells me to make my last will and testa-
ment, principally to declare the nature
OF the belongings of which now am in
possession.
Having invoked the Divine aid, and
putting my trust in the intercessions of
the most Holy Virgin and of Saints Jo-
seph, Peter, Paul, James and Benedict,
| accept, even to the hour of my death,
that moment ordained by God for the
end of my existence, and for that hour !
declare that do not possess title TO any
property, except those few belongings
which, before my assumption of the
Roman pontifcate, already were pub
llcly registered IN my name, located in
the communes of Pegli, near Genoa, and
Bologna.
'On my elevation to the pontificate |
voluntarily deprived myself of posses
sion of all personal goods owned. Re-
gardlng the above-named goods regis
tered in the public registry, unless other
wise disposed of before my death, |
name as my heir my nephew Giuseppe
Della Chiesa, son of my brother, Clio
vanni Antonio.
"Of other goods which | now possess
or can assign at the moment of my
death, | declare that they cannot he by
me possessed except under the title of
the Holy See, for which belongings there
is for me no other use, so that | am no,
IN a position TO designate their DISPOSE
ton after my death, from which mo-
ment they must be recognized by all as
the exclusive property of the Holy See,
to which they always have belonged
None of my relatives can claim any title

LATEST BONUSPLAN
DENOUNCED BY MELLON
Secretary Says Proposal to FL
nance Compensation Out of
Savings 10 Fallacious.


Washington, March THE Treas
ury Department will oppose the new sol.
cher bonus proposal with its adjusted
service certihcatc option, Ms framed by
the Republicans OF the Ways and Means
Committee. This WAS made plain yester.
day about the time the Ways and Means
majority were having another struggle
over the vcxing bill, with the result that
the measure. which was TO have been
introduced in tho House later in the af-
trnoon, may be de laycd in committee
several days more.
This proposal is the worst vet that
has been put forward" said Secretary
Mellon Yesterday. ut doesn't meet with
the Presidents idea at all, for il does
not meet with the Presidents expccta-
ton that he funds shall bc raised by
taxation.
"A few years from now we will SIM
ply hc faced with a tremendous debt
with no way 10 meet il. That is what
they have forgotten. We are asked 10
provide billion dollars or more by
1925, and we haven't any way to do il. !"
Mr. Mellon said that the belief OF
some Congressman that the bonus could
lee financed out of the government s
savings was "fallacious."
we are having a hard enough time
now scraplng down." he added. and
We have no right to figure on the saw
ings of the government; II can't be
done.
AS to loans, let Va look at this: 1t
means simply that billion dollars or
more will be turned into the banks of
the country. The banks natural out
let will be the Federal Reserve banks
Now, II this j. true, 10 will mean that
a billion dollars worth or more of non
liquid accounts will I've tied up in the
Federal Reserve banks until 1925. That
Is oil wrong"
One OF Secretary's Melons objections
60 the new bonus plan is that the cash
payment of $50 each would be made to
men who were in service too short a
time To- go overseas. As he interprets
the bill, the men who actually were en-
gagged with the enemy can hope for no
money outright but only those who
served few months in home camps will
receive cash payments.
But, he asked, does the proposal
place a cash basis for the men who were
overseas OF who were engaged against
the enemy? 80 lar as can see, the
men who are to be paid cash are those
who were in camps IN this country lot
short time
Officials Of the Treasury Department
have no doubt that the bonus bill as
framed will pass the House. Once
through the House. however, they count
on public reaction that will he felt
in the Senate, where, they predict, it
will fail.
The Treasury Department is Just as
firm a. ever against bonus legislation
that fails 10 provide means of raising
the unds. They are encouraged by the
statement that came from the White
House Friday 10 the effect that the
President still stood by his letter to
Chairman Fordney. One official offered
TO wager four 10 one that the measure
would never be enacted into q law.
