I THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21. 1914. PLAN TO AID GERMAN IS RISE BALKED Steamer Is Not Permitted to Carry Cargo of Coal in Bags to Sea. LEIPSIG HOVERING NEAR War Vessel Believed to Be looking for Prizes on Coast Japanese Captain Says Japan Is at Peace With World. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. Th8 tramp steamer Mazatian. which at one time and andther has flown the Mex ican and German flags, was forbidden to leave port today until she shall have discharged 500 tons of coal, laden in sacks, which it is alleged was intended to be' transferred at sea to the Ger man cruiser Leipzig- Coal Dealer Admits Plan. Suspicion was directed to the vessel last night, when It became known she had coal on board. Collector Davis had before him today John Rothschild, of the firm of John Rothschild & Co.. wholesale dealers in supplies, and Rothschild admitted that the coal on board the Mazatian had been ordered by him from the Western Fuel Com pany on August 11, for delivery on board the Leipzig, at sea. He was told to look for his money, he said, to Simon Relmer, who styles himself a special agent of the German Consulate here. This the acting German Consul, Baron von Shack, denies. Rothschild's share in the transaction was that of middle man. Mysterious Transfer Made. A search of the manifest of the Cosmos liner Alexandria shows that "Dr. Rnimer." was transferred at sea to the Alexandria from a vessel not named at some point between Tampico, Mexico, and San Francisco. "The act speaks for Itself." was Collector Davis' comment. When the Leipzig left here last Tuesday, she had on board just suffi cient coal to take her to the nearest home port, Apia, German Samoa. When last sighted that same day. she was 20 miles west of the Farallones, headed southwest. In the general direction of the Hlawaiian Islands. Today's developments indicate, how ever, that she is still somewhere In the vicinity, looking for prizes and waiting for coal. The Japanese cruiser Idzumo, of nearly equal speed, and much heavier tonnage, armor and metal, is lying in the stream today and will probably go into drydock tonight, though Captain Moriyama said that his plans were subject to orders and might be changed. The cruiser has been on duty for many months in Mexican waters, as has the Leipzig, and her bottom is foul. Technically Japan is at peace with all the world. Captain Moriyama smilingly called attention to this fact. "The Leipzig," he said; "ah, yes, she has gone to sea. Her movements do not concern me. Whom should we fight? We have no enemies." Reimera May Be I.elpslg's Surgeon. The port authorities here believe Dr. Reimers may be surgeon of the Leip sig. Investigation has shown that Reimers arrived at San Francisco as the lono passenger on the Kosmos Liner Alexandria. Captain Schulz, which arrived here from Mexican ports on August 7. In examining the mani fest of the Alexandria, it was found that Dr. Reimers' name appeared, to gether with the note, "taken on at sea between Champerico. a southern port of Mexico, and San Francisco." Reimers was a member of the Ger man Consul's party which visited the Lelpslg off the Farallones last Wed nesday. He subsequently was appre hended. In company with the first and second officers of the So rap is and Alexandria, on Saturday, on an at tempted cruise to the Leipsig on the launch Active. Peter's for his tomb in order to avoid the possibility of unpleasantness. Veto Abolishment Reported. The Giornale de Italia says today that the Pope recently drew up new rules to govern future conclaves and that these abolished the right of the veto of foreign powers, thus freeing the Cardinals of temporal Influence in spiritual matters. The new rules, also, the newspaper -ays, modified some of the formalities concerning the duration of the conclave. It is expected the conclave for the election of a Pope will be held after a delay to give time for the cardinals from several countries to arrive. It is doubtful whether Cardinals Gibbons and O'Connell can reach here soon from the United States, and Cardinal Caval canti from Rio de Janeiro, owing to the partial suspension of the steam ship service. It is said, however, that SHOCK IS FATAL TO SISTER (Continued From First Page.) Merry De Va.1 announcing the grave condition of the Pope. He took the night train for Rome, but shortly after leaving Naples a dynamite bomb ex ploded In the train, wounding 10 of the passengers. The cardinal was not injured but was obliged to wait for the next train. Cardinal Vnnnuttelli la 111. Cardinal Vannuttelli is almost blind. Is stone deaf and so weakened by nerv ous prostration, from which he has suf fered for years, that it is possible he may not be able to perform the func tions of his office, in which case Car dinal Agliardi, sub-dean of the Sacred College, will take hie place. Cardinal Sebastian Martinelii, prefect of the con gregation of rites, is ill at Genseno. Cardinal Diomede Falconio, former apostolic delegate at Washington, who was at Velletri, arrived in Rome and saw the Pope before he died. The body of Pope Pius X. who died peacefully this morning, has been laid out in state for thousands to view. Government Assures Safety. The Italian government guarantees the safety of cardinals assembled here and facilities for the foreign cardinals, who, having diplomatic privileges, are enabled to travel In security in special trains through the territory of the bel ligerent powers. Thus It was assumed when the Pope's death was announced officially that the cardinals were In a position to prepare for an Immediate start for Rome, where the conclave is to be held within 10 days. On Instructions given by Slgnor Sal andon, Italian Premier, on the death of the Pope, measures are to be taken to guarantee the complete liberty of the provisional government of the church and of the Sacred College of Cardinals, which is the temporary custodian of the supreme power of the church dur ing the Interregnum pending the elec tion of a Pope. Majority Favor Rome. It Is said a majority of the Cardinals are In favor of holding the conclave in Rome as is usual, and. further, be cause of the neutrality of Italy In the present war. Others, however, sug gested that It would be better to meet in Holland, a country which they re garded as even more neutral than Italy. Among the candidates already men tioned are Cardinals Maffi, Lie Lai, Ferrala. Agliardi, Pomplli and Seraflni, the last-named formerly nuncio In Mexico. There Is much interest in the matter of where the body of the Pope will find its final resting place. It is recalled that carrying the body of Plus IX from St Peter's to St. Lawrence caused a riot. For this reason the body of Pope Leo. although he had expressed a wish to be buried in St. John Lateran, where his tomb was erected, is still In St Peter's, as the late Pope feared that the transportation might cause disor ders. It is believed Plus X chose St.j :-r-,,,,--,,-,,.,,,l: Frank B.

Monslgnor Zamplnl, of the Pope's household, assisted by the secretary and pontiffs valet, laid out the body, placed the crucifix In the hands and stationed lighted candles about the bed. The funeral ceremonies will occu py nine days. Armed Precaution Needless. Premier Salandra has sent notifica tion of the death of the Pope to the authorities throughout the kingdom, instructing them at the same time to take part in the funeral ceremonies if invited. For the first time since the fall of the temporal power, a Tope has died without It being necessary for the Ital ian authorities to take any special pre cautions. When both Pius IX and Pope Leo passed away, the government found it advisable to occupy St. Peter's Square and the principal thoroughfares lead ing to the Vatican with troops, ready to intervene should occasion arise. In the case of the death of Pope Pius X however, on account of the hour of his death, such precautions w not ne cessary. Father Francis Xavier Wernz, gen eral of the Society of Jesus, also died in Rome this morning. Father Wernz was called "the Black r"ope," a nick name used to indicate his power be hind the throne. The late pontiff was generally known as "the White Pope." Through the night, messages had been received from the heads of many states, inquiring the condition of His Holiness. The body of the late Pope reposed on a little iron bed, with damask cover ings. Beside the bed was a small image of the Virgin. Dr. Amici carried out the operation of embalming the body, after it had been taken in charge by Monsignor Martinucci, the chamberlain. Mass for Repose of Pope Held. It is believed that the lying-in state will be in the same Ihroneroom where so many thousand people were ad mitted to the presence of the late pon tiff. The celebration of masses for the re pose of the soul of Pope Pius began in the death chamber at 4 o'clock this morning. Two members of the Noble Guard in uniform stand at the foot of the bed, while others are on duty in the antechamber. POPE KNOWN AS FRIEND PORTLAND ATTORNEY BAPTIZED BY LATE PONTIFF OF CHURCH Frank Mlcelli, Born In Italian Village of Rleae, Close to Ruler Durlns His Priesthood Days. To have been baptized by Pope rius X and to have been a personal friend of his for many years during his rise in the Catholic church, is an honor claimed by Frank Micelli, a Portland attorney, 517 East Forty-ninth Street North. Mr. Micelli was born at Riese, in Northern Italy, in the Pope's village, and was baptized by him in 1S66. At that time Mr. Micelll's mother was a close personal friend of Pope Pius, then a priest. "I always knew the Pope as Father Sarto or Bishop Sarto, having left that part of the world before he passed into his higher positions. When I was born Father Sarto and my mother, now In Hailey, Idaho, were personal friends and Father Sarto took a' great interest in me. I was baptized by him in 1S66 and for years knew him as a priest in the church to which my mother was attached. In 1887 I was confirmed by him when he was Patriarch of Venice. "On September 6, 1912. with my wife. I went to Rome and met the Pope. We were received very cordially. He in quired about my mother as soon as I met him and seemed pleased to learn that she was well. He remembered her very well and we had quite a chat. "When I was a boy Father Sarto, as we knew him, probably was the closest to our hearts. We all knew and loved him because of his kindly and fatherly disposition and manner. It has been a long time since these things took place but I still can remember them well. "It was a great shock to me to learn of his death. I have always remem bered Father Sarto as a wonderful man and a man to whom we all looked as a good and practical adviser and guardian. I consider that he was one of the greatest men the Catholic church has ever had." PRESIDENT EULOGIZES PIUS Death Is Declared Loss to World by Mr. Wilson. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.

I WORK BEST IN DEVOTIONAL LINES Monsignor Mooney Contrasts Efforts of Late Pope With Those of Leo XIII. CARDINALS WILL GATHER Rules Call for Burial on Ninth Day and Conclave Next Day, So Some May Not Reach Rome Car dinal Farley Abroad. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. On learning of the death of the Pope. Kignt iev. Monsignor Joseph F. Mooney, adminis trator of the archdiocese of New York, issued the following statement: "Pope Pius concluded a few days ago the 11th year of his pontificate, succeeding the highly intellectual and scholarly Leo XIII. In these respects he was not the peer of his predecessor. For that matter there were not many on the list of the papacy Who could be deemed superior to Pope Leo XIII in mental ability. Questions coanectea with the Intellectual life, so to speak, and the international policy of the church attracted naturally and engaged the attention and activity of Leo XIII. and their treatment characterized his career as sovereign pontiff. Devotional Side Uppermost. "Problems and matters, cognate in deed, but still somewhat different to these that called forth the supreme in tellectual side of Leo XIII's character, problems and matters affecting more the moral and purely devotional life of the Catholic peoples, claimed and re ceived the full absorption and ener gies of Pope Pius X. "Thus it was that in his first public announcement he made use of the phrase that became a watchword of his whole career and the slogan that he sounded in every public act, "to renew all things in Christ." In the light that AMERICAN EMBASSY GIVES TIME OF POPE'S DEATH AS 1 A.M. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Sec retary Bryan made public to night the following telegram, giving the official report on the death of the Tope as having oc curred at 1 A. M. Thursday (to day). "Secretary of State, Washing ton, D. C: The Pope died at 1 o'clock this morning. "American Embassy. Rome." "Dated 9 A.M., August 20, 1914. Received 4:44 P. M." these words shed upon his pontificate is the history of that pontificate to be read and his place fixed among the su preme rulers of the church." The monsignor said the 86 cardinals would start for Rome from their vari ous countries as soon as they learned of the Pope's death. He questioned whether some of them would be able to reach Rome in time for the conclave because of the war In Europe. Cardinal Farley In Switzerland. The rules of the church, the monsignor explained, required the burial of the Pope the ninth day after death, and on the day following the conclave of car dinals would be held for the election of the Pope's successor. Monsignor Mooney said that of the 66 cardinals, 35 are in Italy, and the. adja cent countries could easily furnish the remaining number necessary for a quorum. x Cardinal John Murphy Farley Is at present in Switzerland, according to Monsignor Mooney, who on Tuesday re ceived a cable message from Cardinal Farley asking the monsignor to en deavor to obtain passage for him and his retinue on some Government trans port returning to the United States. WATER RATE IS LOWERED State Railroad Commission Acts In Salem Case. SALEM, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) An average reduction of about 22 per cent in the water rates of the Salem Water. Light & 1'ower Company was made by the State Kallroad commis sion today. A physical valuation of the property of the company made by the commission is the basis upon which the new schedule was made. The com plaint was filed 1 ' the city. Consumers are classified in three di visions under the order class A, cov ering residents and ordinary users; class B, more than ordinary users, and class C, users of the largest amounts. Service for residences is materially re duced, an illustration being that per sons who under the schedule of the company paid SI. SO a month win pay under the new one $1.17. A new ar rangement for irrigation charges pro vides a scale for lots according to size, whereas under the old one the charge was $3.60 for the season for ordinary lots. The commission reports that the operating profit of the company in 1913 was $37,928.56, and that the value of the plant and working capital was $387,000. Regard. ng a return made by the company as to the value of lots at the corner of Trade and Commercial streets, this city, the report says: "In the return made by the company the property is stated to have cost $25,000. . . . The property in ques tion was not reasonably worth $5000 when acquired, and at the present time is worth approximately $i500. The salaries of $4500 each of the president and vice-president are de clared to be unnecessarily high. "It is also claimed that due to lack of inspection by defendant or otherwise, the tariff r:ites have r-ot been and are not followed in many cases, but that some customers (other than those per mitted by law to receive preferential rates) have been and are charged rates less than those provided in defedant's srhedules. and others have been charged more than tariff rates." It is declared that the rates of the company are higher than the rates usu ally charged for water, and that they will yield to the company an undue return both upon the actual investment and the fair valuo of the plant. It is recommended that the com pany's suction pipes leading from the river be examined every three months to avoid its serving cor':: inated water. The new rates are as fol lows: First faucet rate, class A. 70 cents, with 10 cents for additional faucets, 20 cents for bath. 40 cents for toilet and 10 cents for st' tionary wash tubs, making rate for eight-room house $1.50 a month. For small house, with two faucets and toilet, $1.20. Dressmaker Is Arrested.

LOSS IS DECLARED GREAT Consensus of Opinion Among Clergy and Laity Declared to Be That Pius X Will Rank as One of Greatest Heads Church Had. Tv,of tho world and all humanity as well as the Roman Catholic Church has suffered a great loss in the aeatn or Pope Pius X is the opinion of Portland people who have in recent years had the pleasure of audiences with the pontiff. It is the consensus of opinion among the laity of the church and among the clergy that he was one of the greatest, if not tne greatest, man who has held the papal position. Within the last few years many Port land people have visited the Vatican and some of them have had personal audiences with the Pope. Others saw him in the papal gardens and in tne corridors of the Vatican. All who saw him speak of the wonderful saintly ap pearance which marked his features and his actions. ,, J j. Jennings, ex-City Councilman was in Rome a year ago and witnessed the papal benediction to pilgrims and visitors over which Pope Pius X pre sided. "My family and I happened to be in Rome at the time and carried cards which admitted us to the Vati can " said Mr. Jennings yesterday. "There were about 5000 persons from all over the world gathered in the Vat ican gardens for the benediction. There were many visitors and thousands of members of the clergy, sisters, monks and others, all of whom had gathered to receive the benediction of the head of the church. Many Are Affected. "The love which all these people had for the Pope was shown when he ap peared above the crowd and was re ceived with all kinds of demonstra tions. Some of those present cried, others sang and all cheered. Tt was an exceedingly impressive scene. The demonstration showed what a wonder ful man the Pope was and how he was loved by all his followers. Some of those present became hysterical in their demonstration. "The Pope was a fine, saintly looking man and made a beautiful appearance in papal garb. He reminded me of the pictures painted of saints. Saintllness was visible in every feature and his movements, I could not understand what he said during the ceremony, hut his voice seemed to ring clear and melodious even at considerable dis tance. During the cheering and the demonstration he bowed gracefully. T will always remember Pone Pins X as my Idea of a true saint." J. T. Barron Recalls Audience. , Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Barron had an au dience with the Pope four years ago and were similarly impressed. "I went into the Vatican with others." said Mr. Bar ron yesterday, "and found a very lov able appearingold gentleman. His pleas antness seemed to permeate every where. It was the most distinguishing feature he had. While we were with him he gave us a blessing and then asked through an interpreter who we were and from whence we came. We told him and he smiled pleasantly. I shall always remember my visit there. The impression I got of the Pope was that he was a most wonderful man in every respect." Phil Metchan, Sr., was a visitor at the Vatican in 1907 at which time he saw Pope Pius X in the gardens. "I did not have a personal audience with the Pope." said Mr. Metchan yesterday, "but I saw him. He was a fine-looking old man with a most impressive face." George W. Simons was one of a party of about 30 that visited the Pope last April. In the party were O. M. Clark. Mrs. Clark. Mrs. Simons and about 30 others from various parts of the world.

Portland Priest Saya Late Head of Chareh Will Be Remembered Chiefly for His Fight Against Modernism. That Pope Pius X will be known in history chiefly for his determined fight for Christian truth, the divinity of Christ and the inspiration of the Bible, is the opinion of Father O'Hara. of Portland. "The pontificate was inspired by a great ideal." said Father O'Hara. "The ideal was one worthy of the Vicar of Christ on earth. It was 'to restore all things in Christ.' This was tho publicly declared ambition of Plus X and throughout the 11 years of his reign It continued to be his guiding principle. "Pius X will be known in history chiefly for his determined tight for Christian truth tho divinity of Christ and the inspiration of the Bible. That is the meaning of tho condemnations of modernism. "Pius X condemned in no uncertain terms every attempt to destroy the foundation of Christianity, and defined the antagonism between the Catholic Church and rationalism in a letter which will forever rematn a Christian C 1 'l " 1 1 ' "Pius X manifested a deep interest in the training of the young. Two of the most important acts of his pontl catc bear directly on this subject One was the decree on the teaching of the catechism; the other the decree on glv- Ing communions to children aa noon as they reach the age of reason. "Pope Plus X has encouraged won derfully the study of the Sacred Scrip ture. Not content with urging Cath olics to read tho Bible every day. he founded an Institute In Rome for the higher study of the Sacred Text and set many of the ablest scholars of the day, under the direction of the learned English historian. Cardinal Gasquet. at the task of arriving at the most an cient readings of the authorized Cath olic version of the Bible. "Never did Plus X show up to greater advantage than In his stand for re ligious liberty against the despotism of the French government. Many Ameri cans suppose that the French govern ment wanted to establish separation of church and state such as we have In the United States. There could be no greater delusion. The French govern ment wanted to dictate In matters of religion. It wanted, for example, to Interfere with the appointment and re ligious duties of bishops. Pope Tins said to the French government In ef fect, 'You may rob us of all our mate rial possessions, but we refuse to be enslaved.' The government plundered and pillaged without conscience, but thanks to the unflinching courage of Plus, the church, though Impoverished, enjoys a freedom to do tho work of the Lord.
