Elected chancellor of the bishopric of Trevlso in 1873, and later vicar general. - Appointed bishop of Mantua in 1SS4. Made a cardinal in 1693, and ap pointed patriarch of Venice. Elected pope in 1003. ROME, Aug. 4. Cardinal Sarto, pa triarch of Venice, who was elected pope to succeed Leo XIII, now reigns at the Vatican and over the Catholic world. as Pius X. Tonight all Homo Is Illuminated In his honor. His election and the assumption of his holy office were marked by a striking demonstration and Impressive ceremonies. at the Vatican, which ended only this evening. Tomorrow the new pope, clad in his new pontifical robes, and with all the ritualistic ceremony', will receive the mem bers of the diplomatic corps, the cardinals and the bishops, who will then offer their official homage, .this notwithstanding, the fact that twice today the cardinal and many high officials of the Vatican went through a similar ceremony. The date on which the coronation of Plus X will take place has not yet been decided, but the impression prevails that It will take place on August 9. Cardinal Leave Their Cells. Although the election was over at 11 o'clock this morning, and was announced to the world 15 minutes later by the ap pearance of the new pope at the window of SL Peter's, the conclave was not formally dissolved until 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. The cardinals then returned to their various apartments In Home, with the exception of Cardinals Hampolla and Oreglla, who temporarily retain their official suites in the Vatican, and Cardinal Herrero y Espinoza, who is too ill to be moved for several days. It was to the sick cardinal that the new pope paid his first visit after being formally proclaimed pontiff. The cardinals will remain in Home for tomorrow's ceremeny, and, should the coronation be fixed for next Sunday, they are not likely to return to their homes until after the ceremony. With the ex ception of the Spanish cardinal, Herrero, all the prelates are in fairly good health. Election "Was linuulmous. The election of the patriarch of Venice this morning was unanimous. After Mon day's ballots, it was a foregone conclu sion that he was the only candidate suffi ciently acceptable to all to secure the nec essary two-thirds that the laws of the church require. One of the cardinals said to a representative of the Associated Press tonight that he believed Plus X would follow the broad lines of Leo's policy, although he probably would not accentuate it. This voices the general feeling here, which Is one of satisfaction. The new pontiff is a man of simple origin, and, although not a prominent candidate, he had been mentioned fre quently as one of the many cardinals who might be taken up as a compromise can didate. Resembles His Predecessor. In several respects he resembles his predecessor, notably in his reputation for culture and piety. Having been asso ciated with no factions, this fact alone won him much favor from foreign car dinals who were without a special can didate. Pius X was humorously described as a "country mouse who could not possi bly find his way about Rome." Venetians, who know the new pope well. say that he will soon be as much beloved as pontiff as he was yesterday as the patriarch of the poor of the Adriatic In appearance, Pius X is a handsome man. He has a fine, erect figure, de spite his 6S years, his face greatly re sembling that of the late Phillips Brooks, of Boston. When he pronounced his first benediction today at St. Peter's, .his voice rang out with splendid resonance. In every way today, he showed beyond a doubt that he had dignity and person ality in keeping with the best traditions associated with the famous pontiffs who for centuries have ruled the Vatican. All the members of the Sacred College declare "they are well satisfied with the election of Cardinal Sarto, but the car dinals opposed to Rampolla believe that It Is their special victory. When the first ballot was taken, it showed that the Sa ' cred College was divided Into two groups, the stronger one for Rampolla, and the lesser on for VannutellL The other votes were scattered, but Included four for Sarto.

E. Corry. HEALTH DEMANDS HE RETIRE Concluded on Pace 5.) Xew President Has Been Performing the Actual Duties of the Office for Some Time Corporation Will Change Its Policy. NEW YORK. Aug. 4. The resignation of Charles M. Schwab, as president of the United States Steel Corporation, was ten dered and accepted at a meeting of the directors today. William E. Corry was unanimously elected as his successor. Mr. Schwab's resignation caused no sur prise In financial circles, where It had for some time been foreshadowed. The new president was for years one of Andrew Carnegie's ablest lieutenants, and Is now president of the Carnegie Steel Company, one of the subsidiary concerns of the United States Steel Corporation. It Is scarcely more -than a month ago that Mr. Corry was made assistant to the president, because of Schwab's continued ill health. Mr. Schwab attended today's meeting of the directors, coming to town. It was said,' for that special purpose. He appeared to be In good health and spirits and seemed rather glad to be relieved of the duties Imposed on the chief executive of the "billion dollar" corporation. Before and after today's meeting Mr. Schwab con ferred with J. P. Morgan. Mr. Schwab will continue as director of the Steel Cor poration and a member of its finance committee. Official Version of Matter. Formal announcement of Mr. Schwab's resignation was made in tho appended form: "At the regular meeting of the directors of the United States Steel Corporation to day, Mr. Schwab, in consequence of con tinued ill health, tendered his resignation as president, and It was accepted. W. E. Corry, who has been for some time per forming the active duties of the president, was elected to the vacancy. The office of chairman of the board of directors was created, and EL H. Gary was elected to that position and will continue to devote his entire time to the business of the cor poration. An advisory committee, to consist of three directors, besides the president, to consider and make recom mendations concerning questions of man ufacturing, transportation and operation, was created and E. C Converse, William Edenborn and D. G. Held were elected as members of this cornmittep. Mr. Schwab will continue to be a member of the board of directors and the finance committee." Schwab Makes a Statement. Immediately after the election of his successor, Mr. Schwab met the press rep resentatives to whom he made this in formal statement: "I want to say that X have been treated unfairly by the newspapers in regard to the reasqns for my retirement A number of reasons, including this American Ship building matter, have been given for it, but none of them Is true. As a matter of fact, the shipbuilding question has never been a subject of discussion be tween myself and the directors. "On my return from Europe sir months ago I tried to get Mr. Morgan and the directors to accept my resignation, but was unable to do so. That does notlook as though I had been forced out.

Street Crossing, and Rope Is Tli ro iv u Across a. Guy Wire. The body of Mabel Richards, the 13-year-old daughter o Sheriff Richards, of Asotin County, Washington, was found in a thicket near Anatone Mon day by a party of searchers. The girl bad taken a short cut through the brush on her way to Sunday school. When she did not appear the alarm was given. The girl had been out raged, most of her clothing torn from her body and her skull had been crushed by a club. "William Hamilton, a young rancher, was suspected, arrested and confessed. ASOTIN, Wash., Aug. 4.-12:45 A. M. (Special.) William Hamilton, slayer o little Mabel Richards, is swaying from the end of a rope thrown over a guy wlra and his body no longer attracts notice. The brutish murderer of an innocent child was lynched shortly after midnight. All night long the feeling that Hamilton should be strangled instantly gained vol ume. There were those who thought the wretch should be tortured, but It was finally agreed that vengeance would be satisfied by blotting out the life of the beast. About 12:13, 20 masked men, their faces concealed with handkerchiefs, marched in. an orderly manner up the street toward, the jail. When they got In sight the guards thrown about the structure called upon them toi halt. The answer of the masked men was to throw the guards to tho ground. The keys were taken from the guards, the Jailyard entered and finally entrance was effected Into the jail proper. When the cell containing tho guilty man was reached no key could be found to fit It- It was necessary to saw and hack the bars until the door could be opened. What transpired during the operation, what Hamilton said, proba bly will not be known until some of tho lynchers makes public the details, but Hamilton,' after about 15 minutes delay, was dragged out of the cell and down into the yard. 31aslced Men Patrol Streets. Meanwhile another company of masked men about 0 in number had marched up the street and taken positions about the entrance to the jail. All were masked and all were orderly. With these men none attempted to Interfere. They kept back the crowd, which had filled the streets all night waiting for the lynch ing they were certain would occur. Aa soon as the attack was made upon Ham ilton's cell the entire population of the town, their numbers swelled by people from the surrounding country, gathered about the Jail. Soon there came a procession from, the Jailyard. On either side of the doomed wretch was a masked man, clutching the murderer's arm and hauling him along. Behind him another masked man pressed closely, with his hand over the murderer's mouth, to prevent possible outcry. Other members of the jall-storming mob came behind. As the sinister group came for ward the masked men who had been guarding the entrance to the Jail formed a linked chain about the captors and cap tive, and In this manner they proceeded, keeping the crowd at a respectful dis tance, about three blocks up the street Evidently they had their programme alt mapped out. When the lynchers and Hamilton, reached the. corner of First and Fillmore streets, they halted under a guy wire" which crosses the street and joins electric light poles. Here one of the leaders asked Hamilton If he wanted to confess. He did so, repeating substantially the story told In the afternoon. He spoke In an ex ceedingly low tone, not being heard mora than ten feet away. Finally he asked that his jewelry, some trifling trinkets he had in his possession and his watch, be glveo to his father and mother, and the promise was made him. Decide on Hanging. ' Then there was another short wait. The manner of Hamilton's death was under discussion. Some of the mob thought-hanging- too good for him and wanted to torture the brutish fellow, but the original programme prevailed, and it was decided to hang him. Some one produced a black mask, like that used In a legal hanging, and it was put over the head of Hamilton. It reached down, to his shoulders. The rope was then produced, placed aboutf his neck and the rope was thrown over the guy wire, being long enough to reach within grasping distance of the lynchers. It was seized by powerful men, the body was lifted oft the ground and suspended at a height of about four feet. The doomed wretch began to gasp for breath and his efforts were plainly dis- (Concluded on Second Page.)
