stallments under the treaty with Colom- bia, a total of SIP GOO 900.
 To overcome these deficits. he explain ed, expenditures must be reduced in the aggregate by about S30o4oo,oo0 in the next two years. while at the same time the government faces a heavy shrinkage of receipts In view of the depression in business. he added, there is grave doubt whether the estimates of receipts which appear in the budget can be realized.
 The. overshadowing problem of the treasury, MT. Mellon declared, was in the handling of the public debt, amounting at the end of the past year to s23, 3S,9S4- s51. of which $s.5e0,0oo GOO falls due within the next sixteen months. The re- funding Of this vast maturity, he assert ed, would require the treasurys constant attention from now on.
 How much additional taxation would be necessary to pay soldier bonus, he declared. would be difficult to estimate. but on the basis of the McCumber bill 1t would appear that the total cost would be about S3,30O 900 900. of which at least sS50 ,O00, 900 would fall due in the first two years of operation. and possibly as high as $1,0OO. 900 0Oo if an unexpectedly large number <sf veterans should choose cash. The minimum cost. he placed at about S1, ,560, ,000- 900, based on cash pay ments, and the maximum cost at about $5.25O, ,O00 900 if all the veterans should take certificates in lieu of cash
 These estimates, he added. took no ac- count of the cost of administration and the expenditures involved would be in addition to about s450 Q0G.00ea a year for 1922 and 1923 already estimated for re- lief of disabled veterans. To discover new taxes that could properly be levied 10 yield as much as S65o, 100000 within two years, NIT. Mellon contended, would be difficult. as the field of taxation has been so thoroughly covered.
 Tn these circumstances" he said, should congress determine to adopt the policy of paying soldier bonus, it would be necessary to impose general taxes on broad glasses of articles or transactions in order to pay it."

CONJECTURE CONCERNING
 CoNeLAyE OF CARDINALS
Washington. Jan. 24.-{Bv The A. pa

Washington. Jan 24.--(By The A. p.A ..As 6 reslRt nf thel e5sh ss.s1ss l1,F9 \ N-lmaraz santos. archbishop of To- iedo, Spain, which occurred one day after
 thes death of the pope, it was said here
 today the non-Italian cardinals who will
 enter the next conclave will be reduced
 to 29 as against 31 Italians.
 It is ss considered probable here that
 Cardinal O'Connell, who is said to be-
 long to the group supporting the election
 of Cardinal Merry Del Val, will not ar
 rive before the proclamation of the new pope. nor will Cardinal Dougherty Of
 Philadelphia, who is said to be one of the group supporting the election of Cardinal Gasparri
 It is expected that on the first bal lot the votes will be dispersed so that l no one will even approach the two thirds vote of 36 required.
 The second ballotS however 1t was
 said, would probably reveal the two strongest candidates, although neither perhaps would approach the prescribed two-thirds. If the necessary vote is not | received by a candidate on the thord or fourth ballot 1t Is most likely that at the fifth ballot. on the morning of February 4, the majority of the Sacred 1 College will agree on candidate outside
 
 volts in the two previous days Should l this prove to be the case, a week from l Saturday shortly before noon through out the thousand rooms of the Vatican !, the cry will ring out of "Habemus Pon- l tefieem."
 ] The assertion was made here today 1 that any inpressio nthat, kind of l rivalry exists between the Italian and
 the so-called foreign cardinals over the 1 selection of pope of Italian or non l Italian authority was mistaken. Most l of the so-ca1led cardinals agree on the l sdvisability that the pope should be an 1 Italian, because of tradition (on1y forty
 eight popes were foreigners out of 26oJ 1 because the seat of the papacy> is in Italy twhen it was at Avignon the popes
 were French), and because of the neu- l t-ality which the Italians succeeded i'll maintaining In the most momentous pe-
 .iods in the history of the papacy. 1 The coming conclave. is an example of l the difficulty of electtng pope out side Italy. TheTmost popular for l eign candidate now. 1t is considered will be Cardinal Mercier. but h eis expected here to receive at most total of less than twenty-eight votes insufficient to 1 be elected.

ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED
 IN THE PELLETIER CASE

Boston, Jan. 24.-Final arguments in the trial of District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier, of Suffolk county, charged with misconduct. were concluded before the full bench of the supreme court late. today by Attorney General J. Weston Allen with a demand that Pelletier be busted from office. The attorney gem. ed during the trial,/ which has taken more than four wekes pictured a car nival of crime which would be refused a showing on any screen.
 The decision is not expected for sev-
 eral weeks. The. record Is voluminous, aggregating more than 2.60o typewrit-
 ten pages and in addition there are
 many pages of exhibitions, consisting
 of letters. grand jury proceedings and
 other documents.
 "A public officer Is before the bar of
 justice" Attorney General Allen declar-
 ed in concluding his argument of more
 than five hours duration. His motives
 are impugned. His conduct in office has
 been made the subject of the gravest
 charges. Yet he stands here mute. He has neither taken the stand himself, nor called a single witness.
 ''This man has used his office for his own selfish ends. sword of justice was placed in his hands and he has
 made of it a highwayman's club. He 1 has protected the criminals he had
 sworn to-prosecute.
 In the name of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, I charge that he has committed ma!feasance, ~misfeasance and nonfeasance. that he-has committed crimes and misdemeanors in the sdmin- istration of his office, and I ask that he be busted from office. Like Macbeth his
 gilt>is proven out of his own mouth The attorney general stressed the failure of Pelletier to~take the stand or
 to offer any evidence in his own defense,
 asserting that under the laws of Mass achusetts that fact must be held against him. He declared also that William J.
 Corcoran, former district attorney of
 Middlesex county, who is charged by the state with being co-conspirator with
 Peiletier In many of the instances of alleged misconduct cited in the present hearing. had become fan anathena to Peletier and his associates" and was | ready to take the stand and tell the truth
 Allen argued also that 80 widely had
 the close relations between Daniel H.
 Coak1ey, Boston lawyer, and Pelletier i became known, that clients having inn
 portant matters pending in either civil
 or criminal way, invariably retained Ceakley. The government charges in at | least five of the 2f cases cited against | Pelletier that the district attarney i Shared the profits of a Partnership of crime Instead of becoming angry al 1 the reported boasts of Ceakley that he had influence with the district attorney any could gefN favors that other attor- neys could not obtain, Allen asserted

Funeral Of Benedict
 Thursday Afternoon
Unless It Appears That Previ- ous Burial is Advisable
 Official Announcement.

Rome, Jan 24-(By the A P.)-For another day the body of Pope Benedict KY win lie in State. The funeral cere-s monial will thus be delayed untitled Thurs day. An official announcement to tnas effect was made today with the dualifica- be advisable, the final rites would occur tomorrow as originally arranged.
 Benidict's tomb will face that In which Pope sPips lies; 1t adieins that of Queen Christina of Sweden, who having abdl- cated the throne in 1854 settled in Rome, where she died in 1889.
 FNully half million people have filed past the catafalque in St. Peters to view the body of the late pope. and while the great procession has been orderly, It's very yastness has ehtailed strenuous l3bors on the part of gendarmes and guards, for the stream moved slowly amid scenes of grief and mouring
 The formal registration of the death of
 Benedict took place this morning in the Roman capitol, when Mayor Valli himself received Prince Aldo5randini, commander
 of the Noble Guard who with Marquis
 Sacchetti, acted as a witness. The death
 was entered in a specially prepared regis ter, lined in satin and was engraved in silver.
 An alignment of forces and opinions WltiSH eIc IhSly u ticSA III l1lS SOiiSie NC for the election of the new pope, was plainly discernible tonight, although the opening session is nine days away. That the question of closer relations between the Italian government and the Vatican dominates the discussion is the concensus of opinion in religious circles and the
 press.
 The group led by Cardinal Merry Del Val, it is reported, will have more than a majority in the conclave. The so-cailed peace party of which Cardinal Malfi is head, represents perhaps a little more than enc third the votes, while the Center, the | leader of which is Gasparri, favoring con- tinuance of the policy of Pope Benedict, tolerance without actual recognition, is fewer in number. There may >be a. possible change is the election is conducted along strict party lines. A two-thirds vote is
 necessary for the election of the pontiff The official acts of the Italian gov ernGnent after the announcement of the
 death of Benedict, fer the purpose of show ing the general sympathy of tn ewhole Italian nation, were noted with great sat isfaction by the Vatcina officials The Italian bag on the Quirinal was at Ealf-
 mast this morning. All the royal houses give the same recognition to the pontiff's death. Similar signs of mourning were observed about the Queen Mothers pal 1 ace Villa Savoia, and the government buildings.
