SACRED COLLEGE MEETS FEBRUARY 2 T0 NAME POPE Che Casper Daily PONTIFE'S BODY LIES IN STATE, LAST TRIBUTE Pil BY PEOPLE American Cardinals Not Able to Reach Rome in Time for Opening of Official Conclave LONDON, Jan. 23.—Mem- bers of the sacred college will meet in conclave at Rome on February 2 to elect a succes- sor to the late Pope Benedict XV, says a Rome dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company. ‘While all the cardinals resident in Burope are expected to reach Pome in time for the conclave, it is considered extremely doubtful whether the Amer- jean cardinals will find it possible to be present, at least for the opening of the session as the date set is barely 10 days away. Cardinals Maffi, La Fontaine and Ratti, of Pisa, Venice and Milan, re spectively are the most prominently mentioned In vatican circles today as the most likely candidates for the pos- ition as successor to Pope Benedict. In those circles Cardinal Maffi appar- ently is @ pronounced favorite even of these three prelates. Cardinal Laurent!, one of the most recently created cardinals, who for the present is stationed in Rome, also iy a great favorite in some quarters. He ts one of the youngest of the car- @inals and was the last man to kiss the pope alive. The Italian prelates number 31. members out of the 61 composing the sacred college and all the Italians now have reached Rome except Cardinal Prisco of Naples, who may not be able to attend the con- claye owing to his advanced age and feeble state of health. No foreign cardinals have yet reached Rome. The cardinals who are in Rome were to meet ‘this afternoon to de- elde definitely upon the date for hold- ing the conclave. ‘Whether the date will be set for. February 1 or February 2, tt will he! practically tmpossible for the Amer. fean cardinals, O'Connell and Dough- erty, to be present. The samé fs true of Cardinal Begin of Canada, and Car- inal De Albuquerque Cavaleant! of Brazil. Thus it 1s expected. that not more than 55 members of the sacred college will be able to arrive in time to vote for a new pope. A two-thirds majority is necessary for an electoin. VAST THRONGS PAY HOMAGE. ROME, Jan. °3.—(By The Associat- ed Press).—In the basilica of St. Pet- er’s historic church, the body of Pope Benedict XV lay in state today while vast throngs passed reverently before catalfaque. Early in the day all that was mortal of the late Pontiff, whose death in the early hours of Sunday plunged the church throughout the world into deepest mourning was taken from the throne room of the vatican, where it had been placed on Sunday shortly after his death, solemnly carried to St. Peter’s attended by a procession of » priests, members of the di- plomatic corps and dignitaries of the vatican, and placed on the catalfaque surrounded by votive candles. Word was given that the public of Rome would be admitted to St. Pet- er’s up to 11 o’clock and immediately crowds began entering the vast edi- fice and filing by the body. The body is robed in white with stole and chasuble of red, embroidered with gold. The head, wearing the pontificel mitre, reposes upon cush- fons rx 18d and gold velvet. The hands, wearing the pontifical gloves of purple silk and holding the rosary, are clasped over the breast. The body, as it was solemnly brought into St. Peter’s| was clad in medieval costumes of scarlet. The procession was headed by the gendarmerie of the vatican, the pontifical police with their elaborate uniforms of blue and white, walking with drawn swords. Following them were the palatine guards, in dark blue uniforms and plumes of black feathers standing erect. Of the carfiinals who followed in the procession, Cardinal Gasquet alone was dressed in full black. Cardinals Fruehwirt and stood out in the distinction of thelr white Domini- can robes, while the remainder of the cardinals, more than two score in num- ber, due to the arrival of a number of the Italian cardinale, wore the red of their rank. All moved with bowed heads, recit- ing their prayers and proceeding at a slow pace, their faces grave with the solemnity of the occasion. Guards flanked the members of the sacred college.

The president in an address touch- ing upon the agricultural situation in questions. These briefly included: Practical development of the water resources of the country, both for transportation and power, including olans for electrification of the na- tion's railroads. Feasibility of the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes waterway is unquestioned, the president said. Development of a thorough code of law and business procedure, with the proper machinery of finance, through some agency to insure that turnover capital shall be as generally supplied to the farmer and on as reasonabie vag to other higustsien of co-operatinve lcan- ing, buying and selling associations. Creating of instrumentalities for col- Hection and distribution of useful and true information so as to prevent vio- lent fluctuations of markets. Methods for bringing about further reclamation, rehabilitation and exten- sion of the agricultural area. Promotion of a new conception of the farmer's place in the national so- cial and economic scheme. The president, who walked the four ‘blocks from the White House to the New Willard hotel, where the confer- ence is meeting, received a heart ovation when he appeared in the con- ference hall. The delegates and others in atten- dance including a number of senators and house members, listened attentive- ly and frequently applauded the ex- ecutive’s siatements. Bspecially strong applause greeted his declaration for more adequate credit facilities and applause also broke forth when the president made a slight digression to assert that present conditions in the agricultural industry “is truly of na- tional interest and not entitled to be regarded as primarily the concern of either a class or a section, or a bloc.” ‘The president was followed by Sec- retary Wallace who declared the con- ference had been called to consider the Present agricultural depression and remedies for it and also the laying down of | permanent policy for the upbuilding of a suitable agriculture. At the close of his address, he an- nounced that Representative Ander- gon of Minnesota, chairman of the Joint congressional inquiry commission would act as permanent chairman of the conference and Dr. H. C. Taylor, ‘chief of the bureau of markets and crop estimates, as executive secretary. Secretary Wallace told the delegates that constructive efforts might prop- erly be made in three fields which he outlined as follows, “First—What may be done properly through legislative action. “Second—What may be done through administrative and education- al effort, national and state, by the various agencies charged with the duty of fostering agriculture. “Third—What may and should be done by the farmers themselves tndi- vidually, and through their organiza- tions.” The went on to 1 CASPER, WYO., MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1922.
