CARDINAL RATTL
TOBECROWNED
POPESUNDAY
Selects as His Title Plus XII
- Created Cardinal
Last June
O'CONNELL IS LATE
American Cardinal Arrives In Rome
Two Hours After Election of Pom
tiff is Announced.

Rome, Feb. cardinal Achille
Ratti, Archbishop of Milan, has been
elected Supreme Pontitf Of the Roman
Catholic Church to succeed the late
Pope Benedict XIV. His coronation as
Plus XII will take place Sunday, Feb
ruary II. The new pope is % wears
old and was only made cardinal
June 16, last.
After the announcement Of his elec-
ton, the new pope appeared on the
outside balcony of st. Peters and pro-
nouncad the benediction on the thou
sands who had waited patiently in the
rain at ST. Peters Square, the hrst
time this has occurred since the
breach between the state and the
church in 1870. For the past 52 years
the blessing has been bestowed from
within the Basiliica.
Cardinal O'Connell, for The second
consecutive time, failed in his race
across the ocean in time to carry out
the duties of his cardinalate in the
election of a pope. From the time he
was greeted in Naples Bay until ms
arrival in the railway station at Rome,
Cardinal O'Connell was fully convinc-
ed that the Sacred College would not
make a choice until after his arrival.
AS he disembarked from the steamer
he was informed that the great papal
question was not yet decided, and ap-
parently the conclave was anxious for
his presence.
"If that is So" said the cardinal, at
is great compliment to me. and to my
country and people. | felt confident
when f'set sail from New York; "a few
days ago that they would wait for me
this time, for it means something to
man to come thousands of miles
across the ocean in wintry weather. |
have had feeling that my colleagues
in the Sacred College would give due
consideration to my disappointment
and that Catholic America"
Upon arriving at the station in
Rome Cardinal O'Connell was plainly
surprised when he was informed by a
Vatican official that the conclave had
acted without waiting for him. AL
though the American cardinal did not
utter a word, his face betrayed emo
tion.
Upon arriving at the Vatican the
American cardinal went Immediately
to the Sistine Chapel, where he rend-
cred obesance to the new Pontitf, as
his colleagues had done two hours be-
fore. He then conferred with small
group of cardinals who had fingered
in the Vatican, each Of whom was ap-
parently anxious to explain how the
conclave had reached decision with
out the presence of the American rep
reSentative.

Views to Board of Po-
lice Commissioners
CD. MORRIS ELECTED
Dog Case Again Before Board-Po-
liceman Snellings Warned he Must
Cease Activities Against Dog

This city soon may have police
woman. working with the policemen
on the force. Police Commissioner
Knight last night served notice on the
board of police commissioners that he
favored trial for woman. When the
board was about to nominate an eX-
ira policeman he asked the board II
the nomination of woman would be
in order Mr.. Knight afterward said
that in the near future he would nom-
nate woman, probably when the next
vacancy occurs.
Mayor Duncan expressed himself IN
favor of woman probation officer
and this question also will be taken
up later. and it was intlmated the
board of police commissioners would
petition city council to have woman
on the regular force under Chief
Goods.
The board elected Clarence d.
Morris member Of the police force
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Policeman Henry Sisson. Mr..
, Morris up to the time Of his election
had been serving as an extra police
man and his term together with two
others would expire April |. The board
also elected William ]. Hunt extra
policeman to serve till April |, in
place of Mr.. Morris who was pro-
noted
Policeman Sncllings was cited to
/ appear before the board in order that
the board might investigate the COM
/ plant made by Mrs. William NJ.
/ Ramey of 1909 Duke street that she
had been frequently cited to appear
| in the police court because OF COM
plaint made by Policeman Snellings
1 that the barking of dog in her yard
| had annoyed him. preventing him
from sleeping in the day time after
he had done night duty.
( According to Mr.. Snellings the dog
/ does not now annoy him, having
/ ceased its activities since the last
=. warrant was procured. The commits
sOners held this case in abeyance till
after the case was finally disposed or
! in the corporation court. In the last
name court the case was thrown out,
an appeal having been noted from the
police court decision which was to the
effect that the dog must either be kill
ed or taken out of the cltv.
Mrs Ramey appeared after Police
man SneIings had made his state
mcnt. Among other things she told
the commissioners that she had been
in court six times about the dog. Mrs.
Ramey, however, said she did not de-
sire to have the policeman lose his
job on account of the dog, although
she added she had been subject TO
pretty drastic treatment.
| The commissioners subsequently
warned Policeman Sncllings that he
must cease forthwith from further
annoying Mrs. Ramey about the dog,
otherwise it would result in serious
consequences and that if he has any
complaint about the dog to go to the
chief of police.

The new Pope, Plus XI, is a man
lust past his 62nd year and is one of
the Youngest, both in point of years
and service as Cardinal ever to be
chosen as head of the Catholic Church
Only last September he was selected
to be Archbishop of Milan, to sue
ceed the late Cardinal Ferrari. He
has been serving as Librarian at the
Vatican for the past few months.
The new Pope spent three years in
Poland as the Ambassador from Pope
Benedict. He was in Warsaw during
most of the turbulent times follow
ing the separation of Poland from the
yoke of Germany and Russia. AS a
diplomat he was recognized as among
the ablest Of any representative Of
foreign governments who took part
in the rejuvenation of Poland Most
of his life has been devoted to the
spread Of higher education and in
diplomatic spheres in which he has
always excelled.
.,-.,Repukliean politicians are trying
to force the resignation of Raymond
T. Baker. as Director of the Mint.
Baker, who married Mrs. Alfred G..
Vanderbilt, whose husband was lost
on the Lusitania, is an appointea of
President Wilson and was one Of
the most active workers in both
campaigns in which the former oc-
cupant of the White House was sue
cessful Baker declared TODAY that
he had no intention Of resigning,
however.
"Mv term is not uo until next
month" and ] do not see any reason
for relinauishing my duties before
that time"
It is understood that the President
has picked Col. F. V. Scobey, of
Tevas, as the successor to Mr..
Baker. Scobev acted as host tn Pres
ident Hrrding during the latter'n
visit to Texas before the Inaugural
ton.
The battle for the ratification of
the treaties signed BY the delegates
to the Arms Conference will now b"
removed to the Senate of the United
States. While at present there
seems to be little CHARGE that any of
the treaties signed bv the nations
matchmaking in the conference will
fail. there is no doubt that the Re-
publican leaders are somewhat wor-
ried over the situation. It is ex-
ne"+n1 that some three or four Re-
puhl!can Seantors will sneak and
vote against the ratification of the
various nacts. Just how much oppo.
sition will develop among the Dom
ocrats, is not known. Senator Un-
derwood, of Alabama. minority lead.
or. and himself delegate to the
Conference. has a commandinc in
fluncn among his colleagues in the
Senate ana it IS said that he will b"
stro~g eunn%h to hold SUFFICIENT
number of his Democratic followers
in lire to insure ratification of the
new treaties.
There is no telling lust when tho
Senate will act upon the four pacts
which are to hn submitted immedi>
atelv by the President IF there is
one thing the Senate likes to do it is
to talk. and it never needs any "reat
provccatior 70 start the battle of
words. Tho President. however. is
confident that the work of tho con-
ference will revive tho approval no.
only of Congress but of the people of
the country at large.
