NSIDE STORY
POPES
IS GIVEN
ROME. Feb. 10. (By Associated
Preaa.) Authentic revelations con
cerning tho proceedings In the con
clave which elected Pope Plus XI are
coming to light. .
The conclave might bo considered to
have been divided into three periods.
During the first. Cardinals Gasparrl
ami Merry Del Val received most of
the votes, although far from the two
thirds required, and the rest were dis
tributed among Cardinals Kattl. Maffl,
Taccl and Lualdi.
In the second period Cardinal La-
fontalne replaced Merry Del Val, while
the votes first given to Oasparrl were
divided between Cardlnala Ratti. Maffl
and Lualdi, all, however, being still
far from the necessary two-thirds.
During the third period both Cardi
nals Maffl and Lualdi recommended
the candidature of Rattl and moej of
tho votes that had previously gone to
Lafouuiue wore turned to blm. Final
ly, on the lUb. ballot which followed
the four daily ballots. Cardinal Ratti
waa chosen almost unanimously. Car
dinal Morcler, Vlco. Kakowsly. 8capl -
nelll di Legulgno, I.unldt and Ousquet
being bis more noted doctors. Merry
Pel Val also voted for the new pope.
who although reluctant to accept the
reonslbllity was won over by Cardi
nal Lualdi. -
The flrat report circulated at the
time of tho o'.octlon that Cardinal
Taccl had been chosen arose from the
fact that he was ill, his paleness being
construed by his attendants as- due to
emotion at his election.
Pope Plus XI has been urged to give
decisions on several ponding matters
but has decided to postpone the settle
ment of all Important questions until
after his coronation. It Is believed,
however, thut he will make no change
concerning the next consistory, which
probably will meet in April or May. It
Is Expected the new cardinals will be
created according to the decisions al
ready reached by the lato Popo Bene
dict, Including Monslgnor ltounno,
apoBtolle delegate to Washington, and
two from France, besides others whom
the present pontiff may add. In this
connection the creation of nn Austra
lian cardinal is being discussed. Tho
euchuiistico congress which was
scheduled to occur In May, has boon
postponed until after tho consistory.
