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

second officers of the So rap is and

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

The cardinal was not injured but was
obliged to wait for the next train.

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

notwithstanding the war, special trains
will be put at the disposal of the car
dinals in Europe.
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."

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

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.

liness That Was Created.
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.

LATE POPE IS EXTOLLED
FATHER O'HARA PAYS TRIBUTE
TO DEAD PONTIFF.
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.
"Plus X had s special Interest In
America, where he admired the spirit
of liberty and tolerance. It was In har
mony with the principle of giving ade
quate representation to every nation
