CurIey To Receive Red Hat.

Eight new cardinals-4 Italians and a
foreigners-are scheduled for nomination
by the Pope at the consistory which will
be held in the middle of May. One of the
new cardinals probably will be an Ameri-
can, says message from Rome.
While the sacred college now numbers
So and is divided between 20 Italians and
80 non-ltalians, it would require new
Italian cardinals to bring the Italian mem
bership up to the usual number.
II was regarded as certain. however, that
the Pope would create four new foreign
cardinals in order to Offset any criticism
regarding the Latersn treaty. by which the
long standing Vatican dispute with the
Italian government was ended. The nam
ing of new foreign cardinals would be ex-
pected to counterbalance any charges that
there was too much Italianism in the church.
The names Of the candidates for the
sacred college have aroused great specu-
lation and it was believed in reliable circles
that the Archbishop Of Baltimore, Michael
Joseph Curley would be one Of the four
foreigners.
Archbishop Curley. WIN was born at
Golden Island, Athlone. Ireland. succeeded
Cardinal Gibbons as Archbishop of Balti-
more in August. 1924. He was born Octo-
Der IL. 1879. and named Bishop Of ST..
Augustine. Fla. by Pope Plus x in 1914.
Il was pointed out that should Archbishop
Curley be raised TO the sacred college, il
would be a final mark Of acceptance that
the South should have cardinal, mas
much as Baltimore is the primatial North
American sea. II would also follow the
precedent in regard to the elevation Of
Cardinal Gibbons. one Of the most brilliant
names in the American Catholic hierarchy
Others mentioned for elevation included
Archbishop Botaro. Of Buenos Aires Jo-
seph Macrory, Archbishop Of Armagh. and
Prudenzio Melo y Alcada, Archbishop Of
Valencia.
Ireland has been without a cardinal since
the death OF Cardinal 0Donnel. Mean
while, there was some belief that England
would get another cardinal probably Rich
ard Downey. Archbishop Of Liverpool.

County Auto Tag Measure To Be
Vetoed

Governor Richie will veto the bill passed
by the Legislature assigning to the clerks
OF the circuit courts of the counties power
to issue automobile licenses and transfer
automobile titles.
The announcement followed receipt by
the Governor OF the recommendations Of
the committee he had appointed to study
the measure.
The report Of the committee follows
Your committee has carefully considered
the bill at two sessions. consuming prac-
tically the whole of today. and has had
before it the Comm ssioner Of Motor Vehi-
cles and his chief deputy. and. while the
committee is entirely in sympathy with
some plan TO facilitate the issuance of
motor vehicle licenses and titles to resi-
don's OF the counties Of Maryland in their
respective counties. we find that no pro-
vision has been made in the budget passed
by the Legislature for the necessary funds
to put the law into operation.
The estimated cost of this for the first
year will be at least 100000, which sum.
under the bill, would have to be paid by
the Automobile Commissioner Office. Un-
der the budget amendment to the Consti-
tuition no money in the State Treasury can
be spent by any other department in this
State unless it is appropriated in the budget.
and under the law all money collected by
the Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles must
be paid into the State Treasury. At the
last session Of the Legislature the budget
was passed on March 81. while the bill
under consideration was not passed until
April 1, and hence il was impossible to
make any provision in the budget for the
expenditures called for in the bill. For this
reason we are unable to advise you to sign
the bill, and we, therefore. recommend that
ySu veto il.
The bill in the form in which it was
finally passed is so obscurely and ambisu-
ously worded that we do not believe it will
finally accomplish the purposes for whichit
was intended, but the subject is one Of such
vital importance we recommend that you
appoint commission to study the whole
question and report to you before the next
session Of the Legislature as to the wisdom
Of legislation of this character, and to sue-
gest the most practicable and workable form
which such proposed legislation should
take.
The Governor promised to appoint such
a commission as is above suggested by his
committee.

In the Circuit Court for Montgomery county,
as Court of Equity. No. $500 Equity.

interest and welfare of said child will be

resident of the State of Maryland, and
whose last place Of residence known to the
petitioners was Deposit. New York.

said child. and that the name of said
child be changed to that of Patricia
Hawkes., and for further relief.
1t is thereupon this 9Th day of April A.
