The new Pope was one of the Intest Cardinals created by tho late Benedict. Only six months have passed since he succeeded Cardinal Ferrari as Arch- bishop of Milan, He has been one of the strongest supporters of Benedict's policy of reconciliation between the Quirinal and the Vatican. As soon as the two-thirds vote for Cardinal Ratti had been verified, Cardinal Vannutelli, as Dean of the Sacred College, arose and proceeded to the throne of the chosen one, ac- companied on either side by Cardinals Logue and Bisleti, respectively Deans of the Cardinal Priests and the Cardi- nal Deacons. Cardinal Rattl was asked In Latin by Cardinal Vannutelli, in accordance with custom, if he accepted the elec- tion to be Supreme Pontiff, and the new Pope answered with the formal: Since !t is the will of God, I must obey.”* Then the purple canopies over the thrones of the Cardinals were let down, one by one, until only that over the new Pontiff remained, This was done to show that the whole sacred college rendered obeisance to the new head of the Church, Dean Vannutelll thereupon asked the new Imcumbent what name he chose to toke during his Pontificate, and up- on his reply “Pius XL," Mgr, Bincero, Secretary of the conclave, verified his election to th pal cha The new Pope was then escorted te the anteroom within the Sistine Chapel, where he discarded his Car- dinal’s robes, assisted by the con- clavists, and the Papal vestments, which had been held in readiness St his en- from bellboy to bank cashier ‘among the convicted, Only one ac-| | tress was found to have committed a} w crime, a8 against cleven actors. ‘Nine “gentlemen” were convicted last year as against six in 1920.
