Central News from Rome asserts that

said the Jesuits did not intend to put
forward candidate for Pope at the
coming conclave.
ROME, Jan. 27 ASSOCIATED Press).-
The Vatican household turned to-day to
the election @. the new Pontiff.
Tho question of rapprochement be-
tween the church and the italian Gov
ernmert enters largely into the cleo
ton. Twenty-nine Cardinals, headed by
Cardinal Gasparri, the Camerlengo or
acting head OF the church, are known
TO favor continuance of Benedicts pol
icy, which was understood to have been
directed toward a resumption of rela-
tons with the Quirinal; twenty MEM
oers OF the Sacred College are thought
to be just as strongly opposed. while
nine are classified as neutral.
Foreign May Have Chance.
The attitude OF the American Cardi-
nals-O'Connell OF Boston and Dough-
erty of Philadelphia--is unknown at the
Vatican. but the opinion is expressed
that, unless a compromise Is reached,
never has there been such an oppor-
tunity for a foreign Cardinal to be
elected Pope. The majority enjoyed by
the Italian members OF the Sacred Col
lege Is so evenly divided that Vatican
officials admit all depends upon the at
titude of the foreign Cardinals.
What name will the next Pope choose
tr l..
cussion in Rome. The ''irreconcila bles, -
led by Cardinal Merry del Val, if they
succeed in electing their candidate are
understood to be in favor OF Leo XIV.
as successor to Leo Kill, who was al
ways strongly opposed to the Quirinal
Should Cardinal Gasparri's peace party
elect its candidate il is believed that
Benedict XVI. will be the name of the
next Pope. on account of the late Pom
tiff's policy Of closer relations with the
Quirinal
IL compromise is reached it is ex-
pected that the neutral Pope elected will
adopt the name Of Plus XII. following
the non-extremist policy of Plus x.
The arrival of Cardinals Schultz of
Cologne Bertram of Breslau, Faulha ber
OF Munich and Pif1 of Vienna. to-day
brought the number of foreign Cardinals
In Rome up to ten. In addition to the
German and Austrian Cardinals. there
are now here Cardinals Dubois of Paris.

tomb of Benedict XIV. in St Peters
by Mgr. sanz de Samper. majordomo Of
The Vatican. Requiem mass was also
sung on the high altar in the church.
Two more requiem masses will be ceIe-
brated on the high altar. and after that
requiem masses will be sung in the Sis

Pope. completion of the oak barrier at
the entrance into the courtyard of St
Damaso and isolating the Vatican from
the outside world the organization for
the appf oarS.-g o,.-sciave wcs brought
nearer perfection.
During these days of interregnum
there Is less splendor within the Vatican
walls than usual. All the officers OF the
Pontifical household have now returned
10 their ordinary duties.
All tho beds for the personnel OF the
crnclave have been transported into
the Vatican. One hundred and sixty Of
them came from, tha Santa MARTA Hos
pitai. while the remainder were brought
from the Propagation of the Faith Col
lege I'm Alba-no and from the huge prop
aganda palace in the Piazza di Spagna.
The living the Cardinals during the
conclavs period will be of the simplest
and most frugal. They will only be
allowed one dish Of meat and vege-
tables. with a half pint OF wine daily.
The furniture will also be OF the sim
plest kind--the beds of the dorInitory
variety with mattresses of straw. These,
with iron washbowls, have been placed
in rooms which have been numbered so
the Cardinals can ballot for their choice
