Cardinals Were | Break Fisherman’s Ring| NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1914, Traditional Ceremony Not Literally Carried Out as Prelates Lacked Strength to Break Symbol. Testament of Pope Pius X. Provides Maintenance for Children Made Home- less By Earthquake of 1908. Rome (delayed in transmission), Aug. 21,—Twenty-three cardinals met late today in the first congregation of cardinals to arrange the temporary government of the church and pre- pare for the conclave in September, when a successor to Pope Plus X will be elected. Cardinals Martinelli and Di Pitro | were unable tq be present because of illness. Cardinals Serappin Vannu- | telli, dean of the Sacred College, at- | tended, but as he also was physically indisposed, the duties of the dean were performed /by Cardinal Agliardi. Af- | ter taking the oath to maintain secret | their discussion “even to the shedding jof blood,” the cardinals performed {the traditional ceremony of breaking the Fisherman’s Ring. The rite, how- | ever, was not literally carried out. Ac- cording to the rules of the Sacred Col- lege, the ring should be broken and leter re-set and presented to the new Pope. Today after each of the mem- bers present had identified the ring {it was found that none had the strength to break it, even though a hammer was employed. The cardinals finally decided that the symbolical ceremony would be properly observed if the symbol of office was scratched. ‘This was done, Maintenance for:Orphans. . It is learned that the testament of the late Pope provides for the main- tenance of about four hundred chil- dren made orphans by the earthquake of Messina and Calabria in 1908. The Pope’s sister, Anna, who col- lapsed when the pontiff died, was bet- ter today and inquired about the ar- |rangements for the funeral. She in- jsisted upon kneeling in bed to pray ifor the departed soul. Death Made Public. The outer walls of.all churches pla- carded with notices from Cardinal Pomplili, vicar general of His Holi- ness, stating that the-chamberlain had given him officially the sad news of the death of Pius X on Thursday and instructed him to notify all the faith- ful, and ordered that the bells in all the churches be tolled for one hun- dred at sunset today and on Saturday. The clergy also are directed to say masses for the late pontiff, ‘“recom- mending his blessed:soul to God.” Deajh Formally Announced. _Rome, Aug. 21, (Delayed in trans- mission).—The death of Pope Pius X. was formally announced to the municipality of Rome today.

Rome, Aug 22.—The Tribuna today says that the approaching conclave will not be split into a German party and a French party. Rather, the peper says, will it have the religious Girection of the papacy, Pius X, hav- ing put politics aside. There will be present a conservative right, whose candidate for the papacy will be Car- ainal De Lai, supported by Cardinal Billot, Cardinal Merry Del Val, Car- dinal Dubillard, and Cardinal Sedin. The party of the Left will have modern tendencies. Its candidates will be Cardinals Gasparri, Maffi and Ferrari, supported by Cardinals Agli- ardi, Della Chiesa, Amette and Bourne, together with the Germans and the Austrians. The third party, that of the Center, will have as candidates Cardinals Ferrata, Pomilj, Serafino Vannutelli and Gotti. The Tribuna expresses the idea that the chances favor Cardinal Ferrata, one of the candidates of the Center. City 'Items Henry Moore is entertaining Mrs. Singleton and daughter of New Haven.
