A second and lighter shock vii felt

The courthouse was damaged most by
the shake. The rljht arm of the statue

were a good many Democrats on this

sensation was caused In church circles
here today by the story that displeasure
at. the pope's refusal to view favor
ably the immediate elevation to th
cardinalate of Archbishop Farley of
New York is the real reason for the
hasty departure from Rome of Car

Gibbons is reported, to, have urged
on his holiness the desire of American
Catholics that Farley be elevated and
to have pointed out with some fervor
the present disproportion In favor of
Europe against America In the granting
of favors by the Vatican.
The pope Is said to have been un
yielding una lo have replied to Car
dinal Gibbons' remarks with heat, de
claring that he f":ired tiie inodernls

pope Is said to have answered that the
American demands might be granted
later.
