White Smoke Signal.
White smoke is the signal Of an
election; black smoke is the signal
of no election. The white smoke Is
made by burning the ballots. Black
smoke is made by adding dampened
straw to the ballots.
Before the conclave last Thurs.
day the name of Cardinal Ratti had
been mentioned more or less con-
spicuously as the candidate of the
reconciliation faction headed by
Cardinal Gasparri. papal secretary
Of state. Cardinal Gasparri and his
adherents pledged themselves to
carry out the political policy of the
late Benedict XIV, which was to re-
new friendly relations with the quiri-
nal without impairing the interna.
tional prestige of the church.
II was understood that Cardinal

fixed that neither of the powerful
factions of the Sacred College would
be able to win over the other and
that a compromise cand date seemed
certain. When the weekend passed

attention of the Vatican. Pope
Plus X ferreted the Milan priest
out from maze of master librar-
ians and appointed him project of
the Vatican library, one of the
greatest Libraries in the world.
Wanted To Visit Mother.
The new project begged the
Roman pontiff at the time of his
appointment to permit him to spend
one month at the vatican library and
to return every alternate month to
the vatican, in order that the might
spend the intervening months with
his aged mother in Milan. The
Pope, impressed with the sanctity
Of his appointee. granted the request
and was heard later in his life to re.
mark that Cardinal Ratti did more
remarkable work in his alternate
months OF library labor than his
predecessors had done in continuous
service.
AS vatican librarian, Cardinal
Ratti, then a monsignor, added to
his literary works, and It was there
that he won to himself the friend
ship of the papal family Of cardinals.
The new pontiff was beloved for his
retiring disposition, sparkling wit,
athletic prowess, and the general at.
liability OF his nature. The librarian
then became famed throughout Eu-
rope as one OF the continents most
famous Observation-Disclosures Often;
alone, and always without guides,
Cardinal Ratti assailed the Alpine
heights on many OCCASIONS and out
hiked and out-climbed his fellows.

Morgan Visited Him.
Toward the close of his service in
the Vatican library, Cardinal Ratti
acquired added fame as an historian
Of no mean order. He was sought
out by students Of history and by
archaeologists in Acknowledgement
Of his vast storehouse of knowledge.
j. Pterpont Morgan. American
financier, went to the Archbishop of
Milan, when he desired the Vatican
experts to work upon certain invalu-
able Egyptian transcripts, and a
friendship between the two was
struck up.
Pope Plus x then sent Cardinal
Ratti to Poland as visitor apostolic,
where he laid the foundation for his
later successful reign there as Papal
Nuncio. Pope Benedict XIV, in June
6, 1919, then erected the Polish office
to a nunciature and appointed Cardi-
nal Ratti papal nunico, and at the
same time created him Archbishop
Of Lepanto. In Poland, Cardinal Ratti
worked hard for the cause Of the
church, and Is credited with having
helped to fan to flame the burning
fervor of Polish patriotism. He Is
credited with having done this with.
out having alienated the feelings of
other nationalities beyond the bor-
ders of his nunciature.
On June 10, 1921, less than eight
months ago, Cardinal Ratti was ap-
pointed Archbishop of Milan, relin-

ment of an election, for
three cardinals to lead the
new sovereign pontiff into
the 1obing room, adjacent to
the Sistine Chapel, where
three sets of papal robes are
laid out. One is of large
size, one medium and one is
small. The variations are
made SO that no matter
what the stature of the new
sovereign pontiff, he will
find the robes to fit him.
Coronation Remains.
In olden times there were
elaborate rites and cere-
monies through which the
new Pope was conducted
following his elevation to
the mightiest and hottest
office of the Roman Church.
But of these the only one
that remains is the corona
ton.
The new pontiff will be
crowned within the next
week, and cardinals now en-
route for Rome, who were
unable to get here in time
for the conclave election,
will be at hand for the elab-
crate coronation rites.
Will Receive Ring.
The popes date their certificates
from the day they assume their
tiara rather than from the date
of election by the conclave of car
dinals.. When the Pope is crowned,
he receives also the famous Fish
erman's ring, which bears the great
seal of the Vatican, and is symbolic
of the wearer's high office. 1t is
not removed until death, when it is
broken up and remolded. The chief
ceremonies Of the papal coronation
take place in the Sistine chapel,
where the elections are conducted.

prison through a sewer. Seven OF the
men got outside the walls but were re-
captured within an hour and the eighth

Murray Of Newport, KY. serving seven
years for storehouse breaking and who
has attempted TO escape four times, ac-
cording to their stories. Recently some
work had been done on the sewers in

EXPECT HIGHER
SUGAR PRICES
Market, According to Commerce De-
partment, is EntireIy Uninfluenced
by Artificial Control.

4 WASHINGTON. Jan. s. Higher
4 prices for sugar may be expected, ac-
Z cording to results of an investigation
: into the situation in the sugar in
I dustry made public tonight by the
commerce department.
1.-THE market" the department said,
sis- now entirely uninfluenced by any
rtificial control, and the present low
price level manifestly cannot long
continue without restricting the pro-
duction OF sugar below the worlds de-
mands and again creating high prices"
In its investigation the department
found that there is an abnormal wish
BILE" world surplus of sugar, amount
ing to about 100000 tons. congested
in the western hemisphere. Invisible
stocks of sugar in the hands of whole
salers and retailers was estimated at
from 100000 TO 100000 tons below
normal, due to the apprehension OF
further fall in prices. The world pro-
duction of sugar for 1922 was esti-
mated by the department to be less by
from 100000 to 100000 tons than pro-
duction for 1921, while consumption
for 1922, 1t was thought, would be
larger than in 1921, and with general
economic recovery should exceed pro-
duction and thus absorb some or all
OF the surplus"
The present price Of s1.S7 for &c and
En- raw sugar was declared TO be the
the lowest level for 20 years and to
he below production cost OF about
per cent of both domestic and Cuban
sugar.
'"This low price for sugar" the de-
nartment said. has resulted not only
from the fear OF the large visible sur
plus. but also from the apprehension
that in the falling market there might
he forced realization of the loans made
against existing surplus stock of SUI
gar, that there would be difficulty IN
financing the new Cuban crop, that
the financial difficulties Of the Cuban
government itself might not readily be
solved, and that dissolution of the Gu
han sugar commission on January l.
might result In considerable nquida-
tion OF sugar.
@rhe Cuban sugar commission was
dissolved January /, and 1t is now
demonstrated that no appreciate
forced liquidation IS likely TO take
place. The banks generally have been
web covered down to the low prices
OF sugar and there is no likelihood of
forced liquidation. There appears to
be sufficient money for financing the
new crop wherever It can be pro-
dnced on a reasonable basis OF cost
and the Cuban government seems to be
An a fair way to solve its financial
difficulties"
