increasing as the time draws near
for assembling the sacred conclaNe
and many attempts to ma an lhul-
cation OF results are being made.
Cardinal laurent, although raised
to purple only last year. is under
stood to be favored by at least
thirty members of the sacred col

able to those opposed with closer
relation with the quirinal.
The name of Cardinal Ratti, arch-
bishop of Milan, mentioned preNl-
ously as favored by his peace
group headed by Cardinal Gasparfl
is not heard so often now ana the
section headed by Cardinal Merry
Del val. which had been credited
with favoring Cardinal Maffi, arch .
bishop of Pisa, is reported as ready
for a compromise before the ballot
ing begins.

WAITING FOR EXCHANGE
OF VIEWS WITH BERLIN

PARIS. Jan. 31.--The expected
exchanging of views amongi
the allies, regarding the condition.
under which the Genoa conferences
should be opened, is awaiting the
developments through diplomat1c!
discussions of other questions re-
warded as more pressing. The tact
that the matter of the Genoa pro-
gram is being allowed to lie DOR
mant seems to be taken in political
quarters here to mean tiiafl
the French government regards
French participation as q fore-
gone conclusion.
The French viewpoint OF the scope
of the work to be done at Gcnqas
rests upon the condition clearly set
forth at the Cannes conference--thutl
nothing bearing upon questions set
tied by the treaty of Versailles shalI
be discussed, that reparations shaiis
not come into question and that
there shall be no talk of trcafN-s
revision.
AS fur the German reply 10 thes
rebarations commission, il was ssa s
.ed that the policy Of France renlasnS
unchanged in respect to the neeessi-
ty Of the allies, taking the Suaran-s
tees authorized by the treaty OF Ner-
satllcS 50 as TO give Gaal character

the allies might come to, regarding
treatment of Germanys default.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.--An
earthquake of great intensity prob
ably $500 miles TO 2,600 miles south

which was described as monstrous
The Rev. Francis Tondorf, direc-
tor of the Georgetown Seismograph-

ANOTHER DEATH
At CROSSING
Miss Frances Shinaco Fatal
Iv Hurt When Crossing
Tracks
AVOIDED FREIGHT TRAIN
But Was Hit by ExpreSs---
Dies in Hospital Soon Af-
ter Accident

Miss Frances Shinaco, twenty-five
years OF age. whose home was at
403 Park avenue. died in the City
Hospital at GAO o'clock last night,
less than one hour after she was
admitted to the institution following
an accident occurring at the Wash
ington street crossing of the Central
railroad when the young woman
was struck by a passenger train.
The train which struck Miss
Shinaco was the Last Long Branch
express, arriving here at 5:32. The
accident is supposed to have hap
pened when the girl attempted to
cross the tracks after the gates were
lowered. While on the tracks she
encountered a northboui.l freight
train and as she stepped to the
other track to avoid the freight she
walked into the passenger train
coming from the opposite direction.
When the local police were noti-
fed of the accident Patrolman
Michael Burke was detailed to make
an investigation. He learned that
the girl had walked through the
farmers market on her way home
and that she was crossing the tracks
in spite of the fact that the gates
were down.
The girl was rushed TO the City
Hospital Immediately following the
occurrence but she was badly in
iured that she died less than an hour
later.
1t is declared by James BodnaT,
the gateman at the Washington
street crossing, that the gates were
down at least three minutes previ-
Gus to the accident.
Walter Cline was the conductor
of the train that killed the young
woman and Gilbert Stout was the
engineer.

ICE FIELD FLOATING
IN RARITAN BAY

a field Of floating ice complete
ly blocked Staten Island sound anc
Raritan Bay early this murninS
causing hinderance to navigation
in and about this city. The ice is
from four to five inches thick ana
is said to have broken away from the
fats on the shores of tho Rartan
Eay yesterday afternoon. The fer
ryboat Perth Amboy plying between
this city and TottenVille, all last
night and this morning was forced
TO plough through the fed Of ice
and breaking it up in its path back
and forth over the sound This IS
the first time this winter that ice
has extended from shore to shore
over the sound but not fit enough
TO walk over the sound as like four
Years ago during the cold weather Of
January. 1913.
Should the weather become colder
within the next day or so while this
large quantity of ice is on the sound
end bay, there would be considera-
tle trouble to shipping and traffic
on the water. With the tempera-
ture about normal at the present
time there is expected to be no trou-
BILE. The ice is well broken up, but
floating in large feds back and
forth with the tide.

Dwyer, of 356 Lawrie street, who is
accused of turning in three false
alarms during the bowling snow
and wind storm on Saturday night.

capacity with firemen and their
friends and those who could not
gain entry to the court room gath
cred in a large crowd in the station
proper. Nc police court case for
many months past has attracted the
spectators in such numbers as were
present last night.

Attorney David WilentZ appeared in
behalf of former Senator Thomas
Brown, who has been retained as
counsel for Dwyer, and asked for a
postponement of the case for one
week in order to allow defense to
be prepared. Mr. Brown himself
was unable to be present last night,
