archical circles here today the opinion
was freely expressed that an ear

would be called at Rome for the ex-
press purpose of naming at least ten
candidates for the red hat.
Ranks OF the cardinals have be-
co.ne greatly thinned due to the fail
ure of ,ae late Pope Benedict to call

year ago. and because of the deaths
OF several of the high priests of the
church. notably those Of Cardinal Fer

vile. Cardinal Marini and Cardinal
Gibbons of Baltimore.
1t is highly probable. it was said
in high Catholic quarters here today.
that the new pontif may call a sacred

HAPPY MONTHS HERE.
Washington folk may want to
know something about William
James Sullivan. because he testi.
fies in his unadroitly written let
ter to the New York newspaper
that the few happy months of his
life were spent in Washington,
and that he was better treated in
the Lorton Reformatory, to which
he was once sentenced, than any
where else. Furthermore, Sullivan
was born on a Maryland farm
not far from the District, and II
things hadn't started going wrong
for him at the tender age of
five, he might now be a prosper
Gus tiller of the soil, instead OF a
sallow treader Of the lock-step.
Sullivan is now doing two and
a half years inside the gloomy,
gray ramparts at Ossining. His
letter has brought promises Of
jobs when he gets out; perhaps
representations will be made to
