Intriguing Begins

intriguing Begins
PARIS, Jan. 23.-The Catholic
capitals of Europe are intriguing to
secure the selection of a successor to
Pope Benedict who will be acceptable
10 their respective nations. It is
stated that the election will be the
most open ever held on account OF
the elimination of Austria's age-long
right to veto, which formerly assured
The Hapsburg nominee of success.
The numerous factions are jockey
ing to put their ,andidates in a
strong position, but no one is strons
enough to. succeed alone.
Groups Forming
The following grours. already are
preparing for she election around
the Pope's death bed: Central Europe,
with the Pan German interests, are
dominating the Austro-HungarianS
because it is realized that only Il
union can provide the strength which;
the Hapsburg veto gave before.
Poland and Czech2- -Slovakia form
& mysterious element, but it is be-
lieved that they will rally to the
French selection.
The Italians are preparing a vast
combination with the Spaniards,
which it is feared may eventually
ioin the Central European interests
through jealousy of Frances champi-
onship of Catholic interests in Syria
and the Near East ard the fear OF
strengthening French prestige which
alredy S dangerous, owing o
Frances military supremacy.
Anglo-SaxOn Element
With the, Anglo-Irisk peace it is
believed that both the Canadians and
Irish viii fall in line with the other
Anglo-Saxon Catholics, for the diplo
matte and moral Importance of thu
Vatican was revealed during the war
when it was shown that an anti-Ger-
man Pope siding openly with the
Allies would have resulted in COL
lapse Of the Central Powers sooner.
1t is not expected that a we'll
known Cardinal like Gasparri or Mcr =,
cier will be elected, and it is believed
that more cile and therefore more
easy to handle pontiff is desired.

Lucien MuratOre Tells of His

United Press Leased Wire


CHICAG, Jan. 23.--I.ucien Murra-
lore, world famous tenor, today sew
cred his connections with the Chicago
Grand Opera company, following 4
break with Mary Garden, director.
1T is impossible for woman to
conduct a great opera-she changes
her mind too often," Muratore said
in an interview.
at is impossible for a person to be
a singer and a director at the same
ti1ne," Muratore stated. Either ar
tistic or business ability must be sac
rificed."
Muratere will make his last appear
ance tonight.
There WAS some gossip in opera cir
cles that, the real trouble started be-
cause Muratorc's wife Lima Cavailera
also noted star under contract with
Chicago Opera company, has not been
called upon to sing this year. There
have been rumors of trouble between
Miss Garden and Cavaliera.
The debut Of Mile. Cavaliera has
been postponed time and time again
because of illness.
The trouble really started, accord
ing to friends, when Mile. Cavsliera
in an interview, decided she would
never "bob" her hair and criticized
Miss Garden for having her hair cut
short.

Company today. Is
A dozen song birds Of Europe sided

lueien Muratore, French tenor, who
said he quit the company because he
couldn't work any longer under her
direction as she jars on my nerves"
Miss Garden, in a statement, said:
Foreign dictation is thing Of the
past. We are TO have a little Amer
lean dictation for while and see
how that works out. 1t is a pity to
see an artist Of the value of Muratorc
$50 badly counseled."
Muratore received $4,000 a per-
sormsnce with the company. He
sang his last opera here last night.
