He promised her at least 60 per cent, She turned her securities over to the solicitor. The bucket gshop sold them.

He has. been unable to recover any of his money. The records of one concern com- posed of three youths, which lasted for six months, shows that {t was started on $1,900, which one of them wheedled from a janitresp.

The sealed official Vatican envelopes redelved by correspondents, embassies and visitors have been either empty or contained blank paper. A large number of Americans have applied to the American College for tickets, but only a few have been al- lotted to that quarter, and no assur- ance |s offered that additional ones can be secured. Cardinal O'Connell of Boston has promised to do his best 80 that Americans will be able to get a glimpse of the proceedings. Two American Catholic students who waited in a long line at the Majordomo's office for ninety minutes were forced to return empty-handed, because when their turn came the offices were closed. The Pope's brother, Fermo, with his wife, son and daughter and also tho Pope's only sister, Camelia, have ar- rived in Rome from Milan to visit him. The Italian Government had the royal waiting room opened for their use. This is the first time such courtesy has been shown to any of the Pope's family. The anti-Catholic press interpret it as “The Pope's family is received in Rome with sovereign honors,” which is an exaggeration of the Gov- ernment's civility. At the Vatican's bronze doors the relatives were stopped by a Swiss Guard, who asked, ‘Are you su you're the Pope's relatives?” and did not let the Iittle group pass till his superior officer came up and gave orders to that effect.

There are 267 theatres in the bor. ough. As the corrections required are made, Mr, Kleinert said, they will be announced, co no undue alarm or loss of patronage is expected to occur as a result of minor defects in the structures, Where owners persist in violating the building or fire laws however, he said, their places will be closed.
