POPE'S SUCCESSOR
SPECULATIVE TOPIC
Arrangements Already Under
Way for Holding of Con
clave by Cardinals.
AMERICANS GO TO ROME
Movement Is Started to Ask War
ring Rnlers for Armistice and
Effort Is Being Made to Pre
vent Any Schism In Session.
ROME. Augf. 21. Despite universal
mourning for the death of Pope Pius X,
preparations for the election of his suc
cessor have been commenced.
Arrangements are being made for
holding a conclave of the Sacred Col
lege of Cardinals, and there is much
speculation as to the probable outcome
of the election. It is generally con
ceded the new head of the church will
be an Italian. This impression is
strengthened by the division of Europe
now- , .11
It Is expected that the conclave will
be held early in September.
Among the so-called political car
dinals, headed by Cardinal Agliardi, a
movement is under way to have the
Sacred College of Cardinals address the
Emperors. Kings and Presidents of the
countries engaged in war. asking them
to declare a truce while the new pontiff
Is being elected.
The greatest efforts are being made
by the cardinals here to prevent the
conclave's presenting a spectacle of
schism among the foreign cardinals on
account of the war in Europe.
Two Ballots Daily Proposed.
It is asserted that the cardinals have
discussed the advisability of holding
the conclave for the election of a suc
cessor to Pius X without shutting them
selves within the Vatican through their
deliberations, as has been the tradi
tional practice.
It has been suggested that the car
dinals meet at the Vatican twice daily
for a ballot until a choice has been
made, and at the close of each session
return to their homes or wherever they
may be staying.
The new Pope will be the first Pontiff
elected, without the veto previously ac
corded foreign powers, as one of the
first acts of Plus X was to suppress
this privilege of centuries, although he
owed his own election to it.
As a preliminary to the meeting of
the Cardinals, the Papal Secretary of
State, Cardinal Merry del Val. gave up
his office in accordance with custom,
and all the other high officials of the
Vatican did likewise.
The late Pope's physician. Dr. Mar
ehiafava, says his patient suffered
much physically ar:H mentally through
the outbreak of war.
Formal Ceremonies Held.
"Five times last year the Pope suf
fered from bronchial catarrh with af
fected lungs and only once was he ill
with real gout," said Dr. Marchiafava.
"The last illness, which was grave
from the beginning. commenced on
Sunday. The Pope suffered in trying to
conceal it. and he refused to eat."
Formal ceremonies in connection
with the death of the Pope occurred at
an early hour in the morning on the
arrival of Cardinal Delia Volpe, who
was received at the Vatican by the pa
pal secretary. Part of the ceremonies
consisted of official recognition of the
Pope s death. Amid deep silence, the
chamberlain sprinkled the body with
holy water, at the same time thrice
calling the Pope by name, "Guiseppb
Sarto."
Then turning to those who knelt by
the bedside, he announced solemnly:
"'The Pope is really dead."
At 4 o'clock in the morning the cele
bration of masses began in the death
chamber for the repose of the soul of
Pius X.
Nothing is officially known about
the late Pope's will, but the Glornale
d'lialia says it is drawn In humble,
pious language.
It recommends that his successor
grant his sisters a pension of JiO
monthly each, but does not mention his
niece. Gilda Parolin. It also expresses
the desire that a pension of 12 month
ly be granted to his valet.
Burial la St. Peter's Asked.
The will contains a recommendation
that the burial be a modest one in the
crypt of St. Peter's. It ends by invok
ing God's forgiveness of the sins which
the testator may have committed, es
pecially as pontiff.
The Tribuna states that the Aus
trian Ambassador to Italy. K. Merey
de Kapos-Mere, before his resignation
because of ill health, asked the late
Pope Pius X tr bless Austria-Hungary
and th Austrian armies. The pontiff
replied :
"I bless peace."
NEW YORK. Aug. W. Two of the
three American Cardinals were to leave
New York this afternoon for Rome to
participate in the conclave which will
elect a successor to Pope Pius X. They
are Cardinal O'Connell, of Boston, who
Wt Boston yesterday on the White
Star liner Canopic, and Cardinal Gib
bons, of Baltimore, who expected to
Join him when the Canopic should ar
rive here on her way to Naples.
The third American Cardinal. John
Farley, of this city, is in Switzerland.
T-ONDON. Aug. 21. An erroneous
statement was made public in London
late last night and telegraphed to New
Tork that Anna Sarto. sister of the
late Pope Pius X. had died in Rome
shortly after the passing away of her
brother. Shock, caused by the pontiff's
end. was given as the cause.
It appears today that this report was
the result of a telegraphic error, which
occurred In the transmission of a dis
patch from Rome. The Pope's sister Is
alive, although suffering from shock.
She was already indisposed when the
pontiff was taken 111 and yesterday
was obliged to take to her bed. She is
under the care of Dr. Amlcl.
ROUTE CAMPAIGN STARTS

Baker-La Grande-Pendleton route for
the international highway are practi
cally completed. Delegations are ex
pected to be here from both Pendleton

Idaho are also expected.
RAIN NEEDED FOR FIRES
AVasliington Forest District Now
Without Water Fall in 62 Days.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug 21. (Spe
cial.) With today, the 62d without a
areneral rain In this state, and with
fires burning in practically every tim
bered county in Washington, State
Forester Ferris and George C. Joy, at
the head of the Washington Forest
Fire Association forces, who have been
in consultation here, regard the fire
situation as one needing most careful
attention possible, but by no means
acute.
Almost as much money will be spent
this year in fighting fires as during
1910. the most disastrous fire year in
the Northwest, but losses in this state
will be much less than in isiu. Air.
Ferris and Mr. Joy estimate. From
$150,000 upward is their estimate of
the money that will have been ex
pended in this state in forest fire
fighting this season. The Washing
ton Forest Fire Association will spend
$50,000 of this, the state possibly $40,
000, while accurate estimates are not
ascertainable for the amounts ex
pended by Federal forces and private
timber interests. These amounts, how
ever, will be considerable. The state
and association men now permanently
in the field total 250, the Government
has 100 more men on duty and private
timber-owners' forces total a still
greater number.
EUROPE HAS DARK DAY
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF SCN VISIBLE IK
PARTS OF UNITED STATES.
Shadovc Reaches Earth First In Hud
son's Bay and Disappears on East
Coast of Africa.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. A total
eclipse of the sun. which today cast a
complete darkness over a strip 85 miles
wide through Russia, Scandinavia.
Asia Minor, Persia and India, was only
partially visible in the United States,
but was observed by astronomers at
the naval observatory here.
All Europe, a portion of Africa and
Asia, however, fell within its shadow.
It was not visible in this country far
ther south than Washington nor west
of North Dakota. The shadow fell on
the earth first in Hudson's Bay and
disappeared on the East coast x Africa
just north of the equator.
In 1918 another total eclipse of the
sun will be visible in the United States.
Scientific parties are being organized
in Florida.
Several American parties went to
Russia to observe today's phenomenon.
The eclipse was visible for about 11
minutes in Washington. It began soon
after sunrise. The moon made only a
slight indentation on the sun's north
eastern limb. The fine sun spot first
photographed at the naval observa
tory a week ago on the eastern,llmb of
the sun, now has passed the sun's cen
ter and is visible to the naked eye. It
is 50,000 miles in diameter.
PRINCETON FOULS ROCK
UNITED STATES SHIP ON SAMOA
BEACH WITH HOLE IN BOTTOM.
Behavior of Officers and Men Credited
With Saving Lives Vessel May
Be Raised Without Help.
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa, via
San Francisco. Aug. 21. The United
States steamship Princeton is lying on
the beach here, with a hole in her
bottom four feet across. A brief an
nouncement that she struck an un
charted rock on July 11, while on sur
vey duty, already has been given out
by the Navy Department in Washing
ton. Nothing but the highest sense of
duty and Instant response to disci
pline, from the officers on the bridge
to the firemenln the stoke-hold. saved
the vessel from becoming a total loss,
with perhaps a long list of deaths by
drowning.
.The commandant of the naval station
here Is hopeful of raising the Prince
ton without help from the mainland,
as soon as he can get the pumps he
has requisitioned. A great jagged tooth
of rock is still imbedded in the ves
sel's bottom. Lieutenant G. A. Beall,
in command, thinks it acted as a par
tial plug and retarded the inrush of
the waters while the Princeton was
filling.

PERU BANK IN MIND
Clearing-House Proposed to
Stimulate Trade.
TREASURY BACKS EXPORTS
Funds to Be Placed at Shipping
Centers to Finance Transporta
tion of Grain to Marts ot
Western South America.
CHICAGO, Aug. - 21. Establishment
of a branch of a Chicago bank in Lima,
Peru, and of a trade clearing-house to
stimulate trade between the Central
West and Western South America Is
contemplated it was learned here to
day. John J. Arnold, a Chicago banker,
has persuaded Senor Perez, the Peru
vian Minister to Washington, to come
here September 3 to discuss trade rela
tions. Mr. Arnold said, in a message
received here today, that the Secretary
of the Treasury at Washington had
agreed, at the request of the commit
tee of exporters and bankers appointed
last week, to deposit Treasury funds
in the leading export centers to be used
only for the purpose of financing ex
ports. Non-Delivery Burdens Banks.
The committee had advised the Secre
tary that funds ordinarily Invested in
exchange covering shipments of grain
now really have become loans which
cannot be realized on until the ship
ments go forward, thus placing an
unusual burden on foreign exchange
banks.
According to Mr. Arnold, the Chicago
Board of Trade reported to the com
mittee that 16,000.000 bushels of grain
which had been consigned to the Conti
nent of Europe was diverted to Eng
land, though the banks negotiating the
exchange covering these shipments had
forwarded documents to their conti
nental destinations. Some of the grain
was sold by the British Admiralty and
seme of it held. Meanwhile, without
the presentation of the documents, the
funds and grain thus held cannot be
released, thus tying up the entire
amount.
British Negotiations Begun.
Secretary Bryan, however, at the
committee's request, took up negotia
tions with the British government
looking toward the early release of the
shipments or to the proceeds.
Speaking of the proposed interna
tional clearing-house. Mr. Arnold said:
"This question was discussed with
the members of the Federal Reserve
Board, but inasmuch as at present it
will be impossible to include Germany
and Austria in the membership. It is
the opinion of all concerned that the
neutrality of the United States might
be involved."
George McReynolds. the Chicago
banker, suggested today that the Fed
eral Reserve Board establish the pro
posed South American reserve bank.
All dangers of sectional jealousies
would be removed that way, he thinks.
GERMAN SAMOA ALARMED

PAGO PAGO. American Samoa, Aug.
6. News of the declaration of war be
tween Germany and Great Britain
caused the greatest excitement when it
reached Apia, German Samoa.
Evidently the German commandant
felt that the port is not defensible
against naval attack or serviceable as
a naval base, for the merchantman
Sok-Solf, which arrived here today,
brought with her all .the government
bullion and private funds on deposit
there.
