Cardinal Mercler of Belgium
reacnea the Vatican this afternoon,
nd at once went to a chapel and
aid mass. None of the foreign car
dinals nas attracted such attention
from the populace on his arrival as
1d the Belgian prelate. Cardinal
-Merclei-s arrival led to the fact be
ing recalled that the last non-Italian
pope was the Belgian archbishop of
Jjieg-e, corn in Utrecht and elected as
Adrian VI in 1522.
1 Late Pope la Praise.
The late Pope Benedict XV was
siajiea as "benefactor of humanity,
npostle of charity, the pontiff of
peace," by Cardinal Vannutelll, dean
of the sacred college, in responding
no a speern or condolence irom Mar

Several republican members of the
chamber of deputies are considering
Interpellation of Premier Bonomi

povernment officially recognising the
pope. The attitude of the sacred col

ernment's policy, Intended to pro
nounce an eulogy for the pontiff when
the chamber reconvenes on February
2, which Is also the date on which the
sacred college will convene to choose
the new pope.
Several demands for Interpellations
were placed upon Slgnor de Nicola's
desk yesterday, one protesting against
what it termed the "official recogni
tion of the Vatican by the visit of
Signor Mauri, minister of agriculture,
to the holy see."
The members of the diplomatic
corps accredited to the Vatican called
at the holy see today and officially
presented the condolences of their
respective governments upon the
death of Pope Benedict.
THEATER CROWD CRUSHED
(Continued From First Pare ) '
Gertrude Taylor. Miss Helen Hopkins,
6. M. Lee, Miss Maclean White, broken
leg; J. B. J. Curtis, Mrs. Bernard
Uresslau, both shoulders broken.
All was confusion for hours afjier
the crash while police, firemen, ma
rines from the nearby barracks and
soldiers from Walter Reld military
fcopital strove to burrow beneath
the debris and bring; forth those
burled there.
Scores had been removed from the
edges of the debris and hurried to
hospitals but police engaged for 24
liours In battling the heavy snow-
torm were unable to check up In
number of those taken to the hospi
tals or on whether any or how many
tad died after reaching the hospitals.
livery fire station was called upon
to send Its crew to the scene and the
collection of fire fighting apparatus
only added to the confusion.
With the arrival of the marines,
however, order began to. be restored.
Hospitals Are Met I'P-
Bmergenry hospitals were set up
in the neighborhood, some in the
tomes of high government officials.
When it was found that the tons
of concrete and steel of the roof
'ere almost Immovsble and unpene
trable, the street railway companies
nd the Washington navy yard were
sked to supply acetylene torches.
VVith these, more rapid progress was
made. Belief was expressed in some
quarters that the final list of Injured
nd possibly that of the dead would
contain names of well-known per
sons, inasmuch as the theater (was
situated In a section of the city in
which many government officials
live.
The management of the theater,
which was owned nd operated by
the Harry M. Crandsll company, de
clared that the building only recently
vaa inspected and approved and that
the collapse of the roof only could
Jiave been caused by the tremendous
veight imposed by the heaviest snow
fall that has visited Washington since
199.
Pillars Driven Through Floor.
The roof fell. with such force as to
drive three concrete pillars through
the orchestra floor. I'p near the
stage, however. Its force was arrested
so that the platform acted as a buf
fer. For this reason. It was said, sev
eral of the musicians escaped.
Every expedient was resorted to In
the work of rescue, volunteers as
sisting the firemen, police snd ma
rines without regard to possible col
lapse of the wala. A small boy
crawled through a small aperture in
the tangled mass of concrete, steel
and wood to a man, woman and child,
who were pinned don u, and ave
tliem water.
As the nicht wore on the work of
rescue continued feverishly, but some
ortW'tals expressed doubt If tbe debris
could be removed for several days,
leading to the possibility that the
lst body may not be recovered for
Borne time.
Ilia iiolice, firemen and marines
were reinforced also by troops of Boy
Scouts, who stood guard through the
night.
Many women who" escaped ran
screaming to the street and several
fainted while the injured were being
removed on sU-etchers and taken in
amouiances lo Hospitals, private
Homes and nearby clubs.
Italian Official Injned.
Signor Noblle Tomasso Assereto,
third secretary of the Italian em
bassy, was removed from the debris
with two broken legs and Internal
injuries. .
The theater, which accommodated
close to 2000 persons, was said to be
about half full at. the time and the
roof ae it fell Infprlsoned many under
the mass of wreckage, the balcony
collapsing also, while concrete pillars
fell over to add their weight to the
debris under which the wounded lay
groaning.
The fire department was called by
five alarms and police reserves were
rushed to the scene, the rescuers be
ginning the work of hacking at the
wreckage to liberate the imprisoned
"Get-Kich-Quick Wallingford" was
being shown and the second show of
the evening had Just begun when
the roof crashed."
Coroner Nevltt said his "first guess"
was that there bad been 1100 killed.
Several hours would, perhaps elapse,
however, it was indicated, before
definite statement of the situation
would be available.
Police, firemen and volunteers were
assisted in the rescue work by ma.
rines, who have been stationed here
curing the armament conference,
They worked In Imminent danger of
the .walls collapsing on them. While
tbey worked, relatives of those who
had been at the performance stood
bare-headed In the snow, fearfully
awaiting word of their loved ones.
No Warning la Given.
No warning was given as the walla
crashed, the roof breaking In on the
heads of the audience with a noise
like thunder, crushing seats and oc-
cupants as it fell. It was more than
an hour before the rescuers using gas
torches to cut through the accumu
lated mass of steel and concrete
reached the section where it was be
lleved most of the dead and injured
were.
The greatest confusion existed long
after tne accident.
Many as they emerged from the
building were screaming, others
fainted, while soma were bleeding.
One woman said that most of 'those
injured were In the orchestra pit.
When the roof fell, she said, "it
sounded like thunder und lightning.
She estimated that there were at
least 500 In the theater.
When the rescuers entered the
building, they could hear from under
neath the . mass of wreckage the
groans of the wounded.
The theater, situated In the center
be nftsningivn I iosdjviliidib norto-
west section, presented a scene of hor
ror an hour after the roof fell beneath
a weight of snow heavier than any
to which it had been subjected since
the building was erected several
years ago.
Roof Rests Almost oa Floor.
The roof seemed to rest almost on
the floor, scarcely more than IV feet
separating the lowermost debris. All
of the debris was covered with the
snow which had weighed so heavily
upon the roof. Standing up through
the debris, however, stark and ragged,
were the pillars that bad supported
the balconies and the roof.
The site of the theater, being at
the Intersection of two or three prin
cipal streets, was lighted by the glow
of street lights, which a few blocks
distant shed a soft glow on the mantle
of snow which covered the city.
Firemen and soldiers endeavored
to find an opening in the debris, but
the heavy steel and concrete defied
their efforts except when reinforced
with picks and gas and acetylene
torches. Moans of the injured could
be heard together with the commanda
of (he fire chiefs and the military.
Thousands Walt for News.
Beyond the lines first established by
the police and later taken over by sol
diers, thousands gathered.
The crowd of watchers included men
and women known throughout the
country senators, representatives,
ambassadors, ministers and society
leaders. Numbers of those behind the
lines had frienda whom they believed
to have .been in the theater when the
crash came and they appealed to those
maintaining the lines either to let
them through or give them some idea
as to the number of dead or Injured.
The same snowfall which caused the
collapse of the theater's roof also
worked to lessen the number of those
in the crash, for the theater, being
the only one In that section, usually
Is filled even to standing room on
week-end nlgh,ts.
The theater building was one of a
number owned by Harry M. Crandall
and was regarded as one of the most
beautiful here.
HOSPITAL MONEY PUT -UP
Shrine Sets Aside 925,000 to Buy
Site for Building.
Al Kader temple. Nobles of the Mys
tic Shrine, at a meeting last night set
aside S25.00O to purchase a site for the
crippled children's hospital, which will
be built In this city. The imperial
council will be notified of the action
immediately, and it was expected that
member of the national board or
rustees for the crippled children s
hospital would be sent out to Investi
gate the proposed sites.
A committee, or whlah Mayor BaKer
is chairman, hiss been examining va
rious sites offered to the Shrine. The
meeting was held in the Scottish Rite
temple. A. I Tetu, the new potentate.
presided for the first time.
MOUNT HOOD STEAMING
(Cnntfnued From First Pare.)
more said the phenomenon might have
been caused by an excessive accumu
lation of heat within the mountain
due to the heavy covering of snow on
top, or agiln It might be a delayed
result from the spout of hot mud
which burst out of the crater last
summer.
No rumbling was noted at Govern
ment camp, another evidence that the
spout was not in the nature of an
eruption. The steam came out of the
crater la a steady flow.
Local mountaineers and climbers
say that the column might be snow
blown from the mountain side, but
this theory wss disputed by Mr. Pride
more. When the wind blows the
snow tip the flurry is generally in the
shape of an Inverted cone, he said,
and declared the column yesterday
looked more like smoke from a loco
motive. Lewis Dentlsta Organize.

INDUSTRIES MORE ACTIVE
Permanent Recovery From Depres-J
slon In West Must Await Result
of This Tear's Crops.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 28. States
of tbe 12th federal reserve district,
being so largely dependent for pros
perity upon the agricultural and live'
stock industries, must await the re'
suits of the 1922 crops before they
will recover permanently and sub
stantially from the severe readjust
ment of the past year, John Ferrln
San Francisco federal reserve agent,
declared In his monthly report issued-
nere today.
"There Is already apparent, bow
ever,' the "report said, "pronounced
improvement in the credit situation
when1 compared with the beginning
of iszi. as Indicated both by-the
strong position of the banks general
ly throughout the district and by the
availability and cost of bank credit
for agriculture. Industry and com
merce.
"Total borrowings of member banks
from the federal reserve bank at the
beginning of 1921 were $171,211,000.
or more than twice the 171,271.000
borrowed at the beginning of 1922.
"Improvement in the condition of
the 67 reporting member banks is re
fleeted in the reduction during the
year In the ratio of their total loans
and discounts to total deposits, which
was 81.3 per cent at the beginning of
1921, and 75 per cent at the begin
ning of 1922.
"Prevailing Interest rates chargea
by the principal member banks were
reported to be easing slowly late In
1921, and it would appear that con
servative enterprise In general will
not be hampered Mn Its conduct in
1922 either by lack of available bank
credit or by its cost.
Crop Values Cnt Down.
"Customary yearly returns to the
United StaXes department of agricul
ture show that the December 1 farm
value of the 15 principal crops of the
district was 1518.00fl.000, compereo
with 1730,000,000 In 1920, a decline of
20 per cent.
These figures reflect tne suDetan-
tlal decreases which have occurred
In the prices of farm products.
As a measure of tne purchasing
power of the rural communities, how
ever, they should be qualified by al
lowance for reductions which have
occurred during the same period in
the cost of living, which were 20.4
per cent between July, 1920, and DeT
cember, 1921, and particularly in the
farmer's cost of production. In the
latter Item wages of farm labor are
one of the predominant elements and
these are reported by the department
of agriculture to have been $45.60 a
month with board in 1921. as com
pared with 173.21 with bosTrd In 1990.
"These Industries of the district di
rectly allied with agriculture are in
appreciably better condition than
they were at the beginning of 1921.
Sixty-one flour mills are operating
at 56 per cent capacity compared with
26.7 per cent a year ago. Tn8 canned
fruit and vegetable industry, which
early last year was seriously em
barrassed with an abnormally heavy
carryover of goods produced at high
costs, has been able thus Tar to dis
pose of this carryover and most of
the 1921 pack, which Is reported to
have been 70 per cent of that of 1920.
Market demand at the end of 1921
was reported good, and present esti
mates are that tlfce fruit and vegetable
pack In the district durln- the com
ing year will be a large one.
Industrial Activity Noted1.
'In industrial activity the most
notable contrast with conditions pre
vailing a year ago appears In the
lumber Industry. December, 1921, was
more active than customary. Produc
tion of four associations of this dis
trict was 86 per cent greater than it
s in December, 1920; orders re
ceived were 179 per cent greater and
shipments 55 per cent greater in
amount; unfilled orders reported .by
two associations were 190 per cent
greater at the end of 1921 than they
were at the end of 1S20. Exports of
lumber to Jfepan during the first nine
months of 1921 were 174 per cent
greater than during the first nine
months of 1920, and recently a slight
revival In Australian (demand has appeared.
'Building activity tnrougnout tne
district continues at record figures.
December returns being only second
to those of last October. The year 1921
shows an increase of 31.5 per cent in
number and 17.9 per cent in value . of
permits compared with 1920.
Business failures continue to be
heavy, those for December being the
largest reported during the past three
years. They were greater by 41.5 per
cent In number and 13 per cent In
total liability than failures In Decem
ber 1920.
Bank clearings of the 20 principal
cities during December of 1921.
$1,627,956,000, were only 4.1 per cent
less than the clearings of December,
1920. This is the smallest percentage
of decrease for any month of 1921,
when compared with the" correspond
ing month of 1920. and a considerably
smaller per centaga of decrease .than
occurred in wholesale and retail
prices during the period. It would ap
pear that the physical volume of busi
ness is now greater than it was a
year ago.
Savings Show Incrcnse.
"Notwithstanding exceptions in
Seattle and Spokane, savings deposits
generally throughout tbe district do
not show the decline which might
have been anticipated, but, instead,
an increase of 4.5fer cent in amount
during the year ending December 15.
"December sales of 2 reportinr re-
tall stores were 2.4 per cent less in
dollar value than they were in De
cember, 1920. Sales in San Francisco
and Los Angeles were larger in dollar
value than in December. 1920. It Is
apparent that the holiday trade this
year was appreciably larger In phys
ical volume than it was last year.
"Figures are now available cover
lng sales during the years 1920 and
1921 of the reoortlna- firms in ten
lines of wholesale trade. These
figures are based upon a comparison
of dollar value of net sales and show
a decrease In all reporting lines,
varying from 11.7 per cent for drugs
to 62.6 for agricultural , implements.
Excluding the latter, the averagedia
count for all lines would not be far
from 20 "per cent. If- corrections of
dollar values were made to compen
sate for the price declines which have
occurred In all lines during the past
two years, it is probable that the
physical volume of merchandise
moved at wholesale would show ap
proximately the same as that moved
in 1920. In November three wholesale
lines, dry goods, furnltureand auto
mobile tires, reported larger dollar
values of sales than In - November,
1920, and In December two more lines,
drugs and shoes, were added to the
list."
COURT JHES TRUSTEES
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE OFFICIALS
ARE SELECTED.
$25,000 Paid to Employes Is Held
Illegal. But Other Grants Are
Sustained by Judge.
BOSTON, Jan. 2$. Judge Crosby, in
the supreme court tcSday, announced
the appointment of Fred Lamson of
Boston. William B. McKenzie of
Cambridge and James E. Patton of
Boston as trustees of tbe Christian
Science Publishing company.
The appointees will succeed Her
bert W. Eustace and Paul Harvey,
both of whom recently resigned, and
Lamont Rowlands, who was removed
by the dlireotors of the mother church.
Their appointment closes one phase
of. the long standing controversy be
tween the directors and the former
trustees.
Mr. Lamson, who is vice-president
of the Old Colony Trust company,
was agreed upon by counsel for the
former trustees and the board of di
rectors. Mr. McKenzie, one of the
original trustees appointed by Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy and former editor
of the Christian Science publications,
was named by the directors and op
posed by the trustees.
Mr. Patton, named by tne direc
tors, wms accepted by , the trustees.
He had been retired for several years.
Judge Crosby also acted on charges
by the tlrectors that certain expen
ditures from funds of the publishing
trust were improper.
As to the payment of November 26,
1921, of more than $25,000 to employes
of the publicantlon society, Judge
Crosby said.
'I am constrained to find that the
payments were purely gifts or gratu
ities and contrary to the terms of the
trust and must be accounted for and
paid over by the trustees to their
successors."
The court held, also that payment
of salary for three months in ad
vance to John R. Watts, business
manager of the publishing society, and
of $500 a month to David B. Ogden,
after he had resigned as trustee, were
Improper and that those amounts, loo.
must be paid over to the new trustees.
Payment of $500 a month to Lamont
Rowlands after his removal as a
trustee; the establishment of a branch,
office at San Francisco: the payment
of $2000 to Mrs. Clementina Dixon,
wife of Frederick Dixon, editor of the
Christian Science publications; em
ployment of Paul Harvey, a trustee.
as an agent at New York, and the
employment of accountants for an
audit were upheld by he court.
INSTITUTION" RECENTLY REOR
GANIZED CLOSED.
Quiet but Persistent Withdrawal of
Funds Held Responsible for
Failure of Concern.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Jan. IS
(Special.) At 10 o'clock this morn
ing the First State & Savings bank
opened as usual for business. Twenty
minutes later the curtains were
drawn, the doors locked and a notice
posted on the window: "This bank
Is closed and In the hands of the
state superintendenr of banking."
It was just a year ago when pre
cisely the same thing happened. Con
fident of" the integrity of Captain
Siemens, founder of the bank, the
people rallied to his support and the
bank was reorganized and reopened
under what appeared to be most aus
picious conditions.
Today the city was plunged in sor
row when the suspension announce
ment was made.
When the bank reopened in March
Captain Siemens was re-elected presi
dent and Marshall Hooper, a former
state bank examiner, was chosen
vice-president and given the general
management of the bank. Two weeks
ago he resigned and C. E. Walles,
formerly of Portland, was chosen to
succeed him.
Mr Walles, who' was placed In
charge as receiver, in a statement Is
sued late today announced that the
bank would be able to liquidate its
affairs without the depositors or
stockholders losing a dollar.
. The First State .& Savings bank
was organized 12 years ago with a
capital of $100,000. Upon reorganiza
tion' the capital was increased to
$250,000.
There will be no reorganization of
the First State & Savings bank of
Klamath Falls, Or., of which Captain
J. W. Siemens was president and
which was ordered closed yesterday
by the state banking department, ac
cording- to announcement here last
night by State Bank Examiner Bram-
well. In his opinion" liquidation is the
only proper thing now end his Judg
ment Is that depositors will get prac
tically dollar for dollar, though it
may require several years to effect
settlement.
A quiet but persistent withdrawal
of funds, partly because of lack of
confidence in the bank and partly
because of the shut-down of sawmills
and other employing companies. Is
given by Mr. Bramwell, as the reason
for the closing of the bank yesterdav.
Had $6000 telegraphed for by C. E.
Walles, representing Mr. . Bramwell.
to the First National bank of San
rancisco, been received at 10 o'clock,
as promised, instead of 30 minutes
later. It would have kept the coors
open at least until 12 o'clock and
saved the day until Monday, when. It
had been hoped, other arrangements
pending would have materialized to
tide the institution over its crisis.
Portland banks, according to Mr.
Bramwell, had advanced $400,000 to
the Klamath Falls bank In an effort
to assist it In weathering the gale.
The First National of San Francisco
had stood by, also, until recently,
when it notified the management it
would advance no more cash.
