He will reign under the name of Benedict XV. The conclave o£ the sacred college, /whoee duty it la to elect the pope, t*went Into eession the evening of Mon s.54ajr, August 31, The announcement of the outcome of its deliberations waa made Thursday morning shortly after eleven o'clock. Nine ballots were taken. American Cardinals Absent. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore and Cardinal O'Connell of Boston were on board the steamer Canopic, which reached Naples the day after the elec* tlon was held. They were on their way to attend the conclave. Conse quently neither of them participated in the election of the new pope. Cardinal Parley of New York arrived here sev­ eral days ago. Prince Chigi-Albani, one of the as­ sistants to the throne in the pope's household, was notified at 11:15 that Cardinal Delia Chiesa had been elect­ ed. At 11:20 Mgr. Misciatelli, sub- prefect of the sacred palaces and gov­ ernor of the conclave, received com­ munication from the new pope asking that the gratings of the Basilica of St. Peter be opened, because he Intended In a short time to issue his proclama­ tion. Crowds Cheer Announcement. •t this same hour--11:20--the mas­ ter of ceremonies appeared on the cen­ tral balcony of St. Peter's and spread out the red carpet. The crowd below, which had been waiting for hours in the square in the expectation of an an­ nouncement as to the outcome of the Benedict XV. deliberations of the sacred college, un­ derstood that a selection had been made. The people applauded rigor­ ously. The pontiff pronounced the apos­ tolic benediction to the kneeling crowd below and immediately after­ ward withdrew and entered his apart­ ments. It is asserted on good authority in Rome that the new pope will appoint Cardinal Domenico Ferrata his secret tary. With the creation of thirteen new cardinals in May, Pope Pius X brought the college up to 66, only four fewer than the maximum number allowed under the laws of the church and three more than participated in his own election in 1903, when there was a record attendance of 63 cardinals. Nearly AM Nations Represented. While the sacred college is not a representative body in a strict sense Of the word, this year nearly all the countries were represented. South America, the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Germany Austria- Hungary, Italy, France and Spain--14 nations in all. The Orient has no cardinal, neither has Russia, Africa, Australasia or Switzerland. OZONE KEEPS FISH FRESH S • „ New Idea in Preservativee for Which a Great Value May Rightly Be Calmed.

Cardinal Seraflno Vannutelli, dean of the sacred college, spent almost a ijuarter of a century in Mexico^ Munich, Central and South America* Belgium and Vienna; his brother. Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli, passed 20 years in Holland, Belgium, Constanti­ nople and Lisbon; Cardinal Agliardl spent three years in India and four in Vienna; Cardinal dl Piero was for ten years in Argentina, Bra?}!; Munich and Madrid; Cardinal Gotti lived for three years in Brazil; Cardinal Fer­ rata has filled diplomatic offices in Switzerland, Belgium and France; Cardinal MartinelH was second apos­ tolic delegates to the United States; Cardinal Falconio was the third and became a naturalised American citi­ zen; Cardinals Rinaldini. Lorenzelll, Gasparri, Vico, Belmonte and Serafinl all had years of experience outside of Italy. The only cardinals in curia, that is, attached directly to the head of the church in Rome, who have not spent part of their lives abroad, are Car­ dinals De Lai, Cassetta, Delia Vol pa, Caglano, Bisleti, Pompili, Gluatlxu, Lega and Aecchl, all of whom hare passed their lives in various offices la the Roman curia. . Takes Title of Benedict. It has been 174 years since the tine of the last Pope Benedict. On his eleo- .tion to the papacy in 1740 Cardinal Prospero Lambertinl assumed that title. It is an interesting fact that the ,pew pope was archbishop of Bologna, while Pope Benedict XIV was born in Bologna. It was at the age of twenty-four that the new pope was ordained in the prieshood. He soon attracted the at tentlon of Cardinal Rampolla, later secretary of state for Pope Leo XIII. When Cardinal Rampolla was made nuncio to Madrid he took Mgr. Delia Chiesa with him as secrtary of nuncia­ ture. On Cardinal Rampolla's return to Rome to become secretary of state for the Vatican, Mgr. Delia Chleea entered the secretariat of state as one of the "minutamti" or minor officials, until 1901, when he was appointed substi­ tute of the secretariat and also secre­ tary of the cypher. Made Bologna Archbishop. As secretary to the secretary of state, Cardinal Delia Chiesa was brought Into notable prominence throughout the Catholic hierarchy, but his position was not at that time of cardinalis rank. 0|p the accession of Pope PIub X, Mgr. Delia Chiesa con­ tinued in the secretariat until Decem­ ber 16, 1907, when Pius X gave him a noted promotion to the position of archbiBhop of the important see of Bologna. For seven years he administered the see of Bologna with notable success, until on last May Pope Pius X named him as one of the 13 members of the hierarchy to receive the red hat. Arch­ bishop Begin of Quebec was among the other cardinals named at that time, the others being prelates of Spain, France, Austria, Germany and Italy. The full title of the new pope, in addition to Benedict XV, will be Pope Bishop of Rome and Successor of St Peter, Supreme Pontiff of the Univer­ sal Church, Patriarch of the West, Pri­ mate of Italy, Archbishop and Metro­ politan of the Roman Province, Sov­ ereign of the Temporal Dominion of the Holy Roman Church. Washington Hears of Choice. Washington, Sept. 5.--The apostolic delgation has not been advised official­ ly of the selection of the new pope Word of the choice reached the dele nation through press sources and great interest was manifest. It is pointed out that Cardinal Delia Chiesa has had wide experience as ad­ ministrator of the important see of Bo­ logna. He is described as a man of great spiritual character and one of the moet highly esteemed in the hier­ archy. He is about average height, of stocky build and rather quiet and re­ served manners. The pope held his first consistory on Tuesday, when he conferred the red hat on Cardinal Anthony Mendes Bello, patriarch of Lisbon, and Cardi­ nal Guisasolay Menendez, archbishop of Toledo, Spain. Both were created cardinals by Pope Pius X at the con­ sistory last May. The pope delivered on Tuesday his first allocution, which gives to the world the program of his pontificate. One of the brothers of the pontiff is an admiral in the Italian navy, and an­ other is a captain In the Italian navy. The first appointment made by the Pope was that of Monsignor Parolin, nephew of Pius X, to be canon of St. Peter's. It has been 174 years since the time of the last Pope Benedict. On hie elec­ tion to the papa^ in 1740 Cardinal Prospero Lambertinl assumed that title. It is an interesting fact that the new pope waB archbishop of Bologna, while Pope Benedict XIV was born in Bologna. l tically eliminated.

I Mine Rescue to Exhibit at Pair. 1r One of the most interesting exhib­ its at the Illinois state fair, Septem­ ber 18-26, will be that conducted by the mine rescue commission. This commission has in charge the work of the state mine rescue stations, three in number, located respectively at La Salle, Springfield^ and Benton. These stations are equipped with Improved fire-fighting and mine res­ cue apparatus, first aid supplies, eto., and each station has .a mine rescue car carrying similar equipment. These cars travel throughout the state, teaching first aid to miners. The exhibit, will be in a tent near the main entrance to the fair grounds, and will include the princi­ pal apparatus kept at stations. Among the most intersting may be mentioned oxygen breathing machines, by the use of which men may enter an un- breathable atmosphere and suffer no ill effects. This apparatus will be demonstrated several times dally by trained men, who will wear the ma­ chines in a glass smoke room in which is burning sulphur. There is also the pulmotor, a machine designed to in­ duce respiration in an unconscious person by mechanically emptying the lungs with air. Also safety lamps, electric lamps, first air materials, etc., will be exhibited. A trained team of first aid miners will give daily demonstrations in the practical use of first aid with a sub­ ject who has imaginary fractures, dis­ locations and wounds. On Friday afternoon, September 25, immediately after the grand parade of premium stock in the Coliseum, about two o'clock p. m., will be held the second annual first aid contest This contest will take place in the Coliseum and is open to all miners in the state. The mine rescue station commission will give three substantial prizes to the three best teams and three prizes to the first three best in single work. The Illinois state fair board will give a solid silver loving cup to the first prize team and also one to the best in single work. These contests will be participated in by large numbers of miners and will be one of the great events of the fair. Last year 92 persons entered the contest, and it is certaip from pres­ ent indications that this number will be greatly exceeded at the coming event The contest will be divided into two parts; one for teams and one for in­ dividuals, and medals will be given by the American Mine Safety association to each member of the winning team, and to the winner of the individual event in addition to the prizes offered by the commission. The American Mine Safety association is a national organization formed for the purpose of fostering first aid and mine safety throughout the United States, and the medals given by it are much prized by the fortunate possessors. The single. events will come first and will be conducted according to the rules of the American Mine Safety association, aB will the team events. >5-- * Dunne on Fire Prevention. Fire prevention day, October 9, will mark the beginning of a new era of sanity in Illinois if citizens through­ out the state observe Governor Dunne's suggestions, Chicago fire in­ surance men declare. Celebration of the day will follow the line prescribed in the adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The adage, paraphrased to fit the situation which will be met on October 9. is, "an ounce of fire preven­ tion is worth a ton of Insurance pol­ icies or regrets." Necessity of devising a method of observance for fire prevention day, which will rivet the attention of care­ less citizens, is exemplified 'in the report of the fire marshal's depart­ ment of Illinois, whic$i shows that the fire loss In Illinois for 1914 so far has averaged more than $1,000,000 a month. The report shows that the fire waste is increasing annually. Governor Dunne's suggestions for observance of fire prevention day fol­ low: "Let all heating apparatus and chimneys be carefully gone over and placed in proper condition for winter use. "Let all public and private institu­ tions, hotels, asylums, factories and theaters be carefully looked over on that day, and, when necessary, any changes made that will further pro­ tect the safety of the occupants. "Let local authorities give atten­ tion to the matter of better building regulations, fire protection and pre­ vention, as well as added apparatus for fire fightihg. "Lastly, let fire drills be held on that day in institutions, factories and in public, parochial and private schools, and I earnestly recommend that teachers instruct their pupils, through talks and proper programs, on the dangers of fire and the simpler means of fire prevention.

Washington, Sept 7.--In the pres- ence of crowded galleries and practi­ cally a full attendance of the two houses, President Wilson read his mes­ sage before a joint session of the sen­ ate and house held In the house cham­ ber on Friday advocating emergency revenue legislation to replace the losses caused by decreasing customs duties during the European war period. Tiie address of the president follows in part: "Gentlemen of the Congress: ' I come to you to discharge a duty which I wish with all my heart I might have been spared; but it is s duty which is very clear, and, therefore, I perform It without hesitation or apology. I come to advise very earnestly that addi­ tional revenue be provided for the gov­ ernment "During the month pf Augurt there was, as compared with the correspond­ ing month of last year, a falling off of $10,629,538 in the revenues collected from customs. A continuation of this decrease in the same proportion throughout the current fiscal year would probably mean a loss of customs revenues of from sixty to one hundred millions. I need not tell you to what this falling off is due. It Is due, in chief part, not to the reductions re­ cently made in the customs duties but to the great decrease in importations; and that is due to the extraordinary extent of the industrial area affected by the present war in Europe. Con­ ditions have arisen which no man fore­ saw; they affect the whole world of commerce and economic production; and they must be faced and dealt with. "It would be very unwise to post­ pone dealing with them. "The treasury itself could get along for a considerable period, no doubt* without immediate resort to new sources of taxation. But at what cost to the business of the community? "Approximately $75,000,000, a large part of the present treasury balance, is now on deposit with national banks distributed throughout the country. It is deposited, of course, on call. I need not point to you what the prob­ able consequences of inconvenience and distress and confusion would be if the diminishing income of the treas­ ury Bhould make it necessary rapidly to withdraw these deposits. And yet without additional revenue that plainly might becotqe necessary and the time when it became necessary could not be controlled or determined by the convenience of the business of the country. It would be determined by the operations and necessitites of the treasury itself. Such rlBks are not necessary and ought not to be run. We cannot too scrupulously or carefully safeguard financial situation which is at best, while war continues in Europe, dif­ ficult and abnormal. Hesitation and de'ay are the worst forms of bad pol­ icy under such conditions. "And we ought not to borrow. We ought to resort) to taxation, however. The country is able to pay any just and reasonable taxes without distress. The people of this country are both in- telligent and profoundly patriotic. They are ready to meet the present conditions in the right way and to sup­ port the government with generous self-denial. They know and under­ stand, and will be intolerant only of those who dodge responsibility or are not frank with them. "The occasion is not of our own ma­ king. We had no part in making it. But it is here.' It affects us as dl rectly and palpably almost as if we were participants in the circumstances which gave rise to it. We must accept the inevibtaie with calm judgment and unruffled spirits, like men accustomed to deal with the unexpected, habit uated to take care of themselves, mas ters of their own affairs and their own fortunes. , We shall pay the bill, though we did not deliberately incur it "In order to meet every demand upon the treasury without delay or peradventure and in order to keep the treasury strong, unquestionably strong, and strong throughout the present anxieties, I respectfully urge that an additional revenue of $100,000,000 be raised through Internal taxes devised in your wisdom to meet the emer­ gency. The only suggestion I take the liberty of making is that such sources of revenues be chosen and will begin to yield at once and yield with a cer­ tain and constant flow." The president concluded his mes­ sage at 12:42 o'clock. FIFTY SLAIN ON SHIP ' I] • PAftSEfttttiS FIGHT SEL REFUSES TO 8AIL. :ooooc Bodies of Thoee Killed. In the Steerage Are Thrown Overboard, Is Stiff? ? Told by 8urvlvore. New York, Sept 5.---A riot aboard the German steamer Bluecher, at anchor in the harbor of Pernambuco, Brazil, in which three of the Bluecher's crew and fifty of its 800 steerage pas­ sengers were killnd. waa described by ^Americans aboard the Brazilian eteamer Sao Paulo npon its arrival here Thursday from Brazilian ptfrts, whence it Bailed at the commencement of the European war. The Bluecher was bound from £uenoa Aires from Hamburg, under the German flag, when Germany and England went to war. Upon learning that war had been declared the Bluecher put back to Pernambuco. It had aboard, the Sao Paulo's pasen- gers asserted, several million dollars for London, and 800 Spaniards and Portuguese in the steerage. When Pernambuco waa reached the steerage passengers insisted that the ship pro­ ceed to her destination and upon the refusal of the Bluecher's officers to do so the riot was started. The bodies of the steerage passen­ gers who were killed were thrown overboard, according to the Sao Paulo's passengers. According to the story told to the Sao Paulo's commander, Captain Cyro .Delia Amico, the trouble began with an anti-German demonstration by Spanish and Portuguese against the Bluecher's crew. This was resented, and the ship's butler, a German, at­ tacked one of the leaders of the dem­ onstration. The German was killed and other German members of the craw seized arms and began firing. A fearful hand-to-hand fight ensued. The captain of the Bluecher sum­ moned -the Pernambuco police, who fired right and left Many of the rioters jumped overboard and weto drowned. The police did not thor­ oughly quell the trouble until re-en forcements arrived in the shape of cadets from the Brazilian training ship Benjamin Constant, which was lying in the harbor. The cadets were sltll in charge of the Bluecher, Captain Amico said, when the Sao Paulo sailed. FLASHES OFF THE WIRE • 'k % Firm Falls; Owes Million.
