CARDINALS BALLOT
TONAME SUCCESSOR
Of POPE BENEDICT

ROME, Feb. "a puff Of smoke
from the little chimney of the sistine
chapel today told watchers outside
the Vatican that the first ballot of
the cardinals of sthe acred college,
walled up in the secret conclave to
elect a successor to Pope Benedict
XIV had been unsuccessful. Later,
it was learned, that a second ballot
had failed also.
ROME, Feb. 3.-By the Associated
Press. 1.-The conclave of the sacred
college, which is to choose a sue
cessor to Pope Benedict XIV, began
it's sittings today. The f1fty-twC car
dinals who are in Rome went into
seclusiCn last night and when the
great oak barrier at the entrance
of the courtyard of st. Damazo was
closed they were cut off from COM
munication with the outside world,
until their task vas done.
The balloting is not expected to
consume more than two days, and
the pope in the consensus CT opinion
in vatican circles, will come from
among the moderate section of the
sacred college. Neither the 'irrec-
oncilables" nor the peace party
which favcTs closer relation with the
Italian government is understood to
have a chance to elect it's candidate.
the moderates holding the balance
of power.
Crowds gathered today in st. Pc.
ter's square to watch for the telltale
smoke wreath from the chimney OF
the Sistine chapel, where the con-
clave sits. A ballot is taken on the
morning and evening of each day
ic in session and these
smoke puffs are the only indication
tothe watchers as to the progress
made. When no election is effected
a little straw is burned with the
voting papers, causing the smoke to
assume a dark color. When a choice
is finally made the ballots, burning
alone, emit a thin wisp of fight
smoke.
Until the election the only COM
munication between the approx
mately $50 persons in the vatican
and the outside is through the "rota"
or turning box at the entrance of
the courtyard, and such commun1ca-
tons as are lade in this way are
not allowed tc, come to the atten-
ton Of the cardinals. Penalty for
violation of this secrecy is eXcom-
municatiOn.
MonsignCr Mahoney, spiritual di-
rector of the American college, has
gene to Naples to meet Cardinal
O'Connell, archbishop oe Boston, who
was a passenger on the steamship
President Wilson.
The confidence that the conclaVe
would be of short duratiC is shared
by Cardinal Gasparri, who, in max
ing provisions yesterday for the sus-
tenance of the cardinals, only pro-
vided menus for today, tomorrow and
Sa.. day.
AS the conclave convened, it ap-
peared that the "irreconcilables, "
headed by Merry Del Val and the
peace party" under Gasparri would
each count on about twenty votes,
the remaining twelve constituting
the moderate section. The candidate
of Merry Del Walls group was said
to be Cardinal LaFontaine, while
any one of the cardinals, Gasparri,
Milf or Ratti, was aid to be &C.
ceptable to those favoring a rap
prochement with the quirinal. Car
dinal LaurentP was mentioned as a
candidate who might be put forward
by the moderates and fully satisfy
both factions.

Rose is not a musical comedy II

The above is quoted from the
first paragraph of the Detroit Free

fortnight later.
"Rose of Washington Square" is
most everything that a stage enter
tainment should be. It is light but
not frothy. it has its serious mo-
ments but they are not boresome,
its plot is consistent and well sus-
tanned yet there are moments one
thinks of revue. The story is that
Of a family of ~mountaineer Caro-

ore on their Blue Ridge farm. Rose
is the comedy Dixie miss who is sent
to Greenwich Village to study mu-

that surround the innocent maid
from the hills, in the exotic atmos-
phere of New York's Bohemia, pro-
vide a decidedly interesting story

honal environment of the artists
studios there is oft a twinge OF
