Tragic Scene at Dawn. Other undistinguished messages fell from his lips from time to time, bat MS vitality had sunk so low that he •poke in the weakest of whispers. - The day dawned upon a tragic scene Ct the Vatican. The papal court joined the cardinals in prayer. Outside In & «M#m1 ehambertatn. asamss papal authority until a new pope Is elected, med permanent residence at the Vatican. Cardinal Glocft began recitation at the prayers for the dying at 10 o'clock Friday morning. This was the official beginning of the grand penitentiary ceremonial. At 11 o'clock official notice of the grave condition, of the Holy Father was sent to the Italian/government. Cardinal Gasparri v^as notified at soon as It was ascertained that thft condition of his holiness was critical. The cardinal, in tears, harried to the bedside of the pontiff. When the papal secretary of state arrived the pope was resting tranquilly and immediately requested thai the last sacraments be administered His holiness was conscious and caliil as Mgr. Zampini read the ceremony. The pope then continued fully con* sclous, but owing to his weakened condition, only a small drop of holy water was placed on his tongue. The few cardinals gathered about the pontifTs bedside recited the Psalms In subdued tones while the ceremony lasted. The grand penitentiary of the sacred college, surrounded by assistants, then approiiched the bedside and read to the pontiff the profession of faith as formulated by the Vatican and the Trent councils. Monks Recite Formulas, j Cardinal Giorgl, after reading Hi profession of faith, gave to the pontiff the absolution In articulo mortis. As though to Impress on every one within hearing the solemnity of the occasion, the words of the formula were pronounced slowly. The heads of all the various religious orders In ttome then entered the sick-chamber. One by one they bestowed on the pope the Indulgences of the various orders which each represented. Throughout the ceremony a profound silence pervaded the room, which was broken only by the low voice of each aged monk as he recited the formula for his order; , Following the ceremony the procession slowly returned to the Basilica of St. Peter. Only the domestic prelates, whose doty It Is to assist the pontiff until his death, remained around the sick man. Groups of nuns and monks belonging to nearly ail of the religious orders having convents or monasteries in Rome gathered in the space extending from the great bronze doors of the Vatican to the top of the Sea la Regis, praying for the pope.'

Pope Benedict XV rose to the supreme head of the Catholic church Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months after he was elevated to the cardinalship. He was born of noble parents at Pogli, near Genoa, Italy, Nov. 21, 1854. His father was Marquis Delia Chlesa. Educated at Capronlcan college and the Academy of Ecclesiastics, he was ordained to the priesthood In 1878. He was taken to Madrid. Spain, by Cardinal Rampolla. and for four years was secretary of the nunciature In Spain. In 1901 he was appointed consuitor of the holy office and In 1907 Pope Pius gave him the appointment of archbishop of the see of Bologna. He was made a cardinal in May. 1914. Pope Benedict was ranch affected by the horrors and sorrow of the World war and many times tried to bring about peace negotiations. Germany's violation of Belgium's neutrality filled him with great sorrow and after the sinking of the Lusltanla. he telegraphed the German emperor telling his abhorrence of the deed. Pope Benedict's first appeal for peace was issued one week after bis coronation. The appeal failed to bring results, as did also his later plan for a Christmas truce. In January and li# July, 1915. he again tried to bring aboat peace negotiations. In March, 1916, he repeated bis attempts and la May of the same year suggested that America should act as conciliator between the warring nations. His nota to President Wilson to this effect reached Washington when Germany and the United States were involved In a diplomatic crisis. The Vatican approved of President Wilson's peace note In 1917. but three months later the United States entered the war. The Pope's most memorable appeal for peace was Issued in his own handwriting on August 8. 1917, and asked belligerent rulers to end the struggle. During the peace conference bis picas were issued In behalf of weaker nations. Just before the conference President Wilson had a private conference with Pope Benedict at the Vatican in which many questions of a social and International nature were discussed. The settlement of the 700-year-old Irish problem was received with great pleasure by the pope, who issued a message congratulating the principals In the negotiations. Association of Railway Executives Adopt a Resolution at the Chicago Meeting -- Proposal Originated With the Brotherhood Leaders. "Chicago, Jan. 24.--The United States railroad labor board will soon be functioning only as a court of last resort, as far as controversies between carriers and the four transportation brotherhoods are concerned, if expected support by the unions is given a proposal advocated at a meeting of the Association of Hallway Executives here. Members of the association, representing virtually every road in the country, adopted a resolution approving a plan io settle train service labor disputes through regional conferences. The proposal, which originated with the brotherhood headers, represents the first fruit of the recent Washington conferences presided over by Secretary Hoover and attended by brotherhood chiefs and railway officials. The resolution indicated the aim of the railway chiefs is "a fair effort to compose and adjust all points now at Issue, no restrictions to be Imposed upon the consideration of any and all questions of wages and rules governing working conditions." In other words, the roads will con-, tinue to press their demands for an additional 10 per cenlf wage reduction and to abolish working relies they consider unfair. v If the proposed plan Is given effect, conference committees representing the carriers and the train service employees will undertake to settle all disputes. There would be at least three territories-- eastern, southeastern and western, as defined by the interstate commerce commission--and there may be subdivisions of these. The resolution does not bind railways to join In these conferences, reserving for each the privilege" of dealing direct with Its employees. A The board rendered a decision on rules governing working conditions for clerical and terminal workers of railroads of the country. Approximately 800,000 men" are affected by the decision. It Is a revision of the national agreement between the United States railroad administration under federal control and the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees. The principal change is an abolition of penal overtime payments for the ninth hour of work--pro rata fcrny to be paid for the ninth hoar and time and a half thereafter. * Another Important change Is authorization of the employment of men on "spilt tricks," where work Is intermittent. Under this rale the railroad may demand that a station agent or other employees put In a certain number of hours, less than eight. In the morning, then lay off for a few hours, and finish oat the eight-hour day at night or some other period within 12 hours. It is estimated that the change will save the roads from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 a year. In a statement recency r-ssued, J. G. Luhrsen, president of the American Train Dispatchers' association, objects to Secretary Hoover's announced purpose of "Ironing out difficulties which might later lead to a tieup of the United States transportation system." Mr. 'Luhrsen says If there Is a likelihood of a labor dispute, why not refer It 4to the labor department, presided over by Secretary Davis, and protests against further unsettling the ^allroad labor question by meddling. V DUN'S TRADE REVIEW Business of Most Industries of County Still Lag/ Improvement Is Shown in Some Quarters, but No Indications of a 8udden Revival. Nfcw York, Jan. 23.--While there are various good signs, no development of activity along broad lines has yet appeared. The belief that trade and Industry would suddenly revive after the holidays was not held by many Interests, but hope of a more positive recovery In the not distant future is expressed in most quarters. In the main, it is now a waiting situation, with buyers cautious and hesitant, and commitments chiefly to cover nearby and well defined requirements. Exceptions to this condition are not lacking, being disclosed in some textile divisions and elsewhere, yet operations of magnitude continue comparatively Infrequent. Uncertainty about prices Is less of a restraining influence than previously, but enough doubt remains regarding the probable course of some markets to cause deferment of contracts, and most industries still lag. Among the elements which encourage expectations of subsequent expansion are included easier money rates and indications of increased building operations in the spring, and the depleted state of many merchandise stocks Is also a favorable augury. While nothing has occurred to change the opinion that further business Improvement will be gradual and Irregular, conservative forecasts of betterment seem justified by the existing facts. With manufacturing much below capacity in most Instances, conditions of unemployment have not l)een generally relieved, but idleness is slowly diminishing In certain sections and adjustment of labor troubles has permitted resumption of work at some establishments.

Ministry* ^ VERSAILLES PACT IS Confidence in the New Reglma la Kx> pressed by a Ballot of 472 to J437--America's Part lit,. ^ War Laudstf. Parti, Jan. 21.--Premier Ifblncafe #on an almost unanimous vote of confidence in the chamber of deputies on his policy for the new government of "make Germnny pay." The premier hinted that France would enforce the Versailles treaty against. Germany alone, If Great Britain and the other allies did not support b$r.- "We shall Insist that Germany deliver up her war criminals," he said. "If Germany refuses and violates the treaty, she will expose herself to the penalties provided for." The vote of confidence was taken after,a motion to suspend"debate on the foreign policy was passed, 472 to 107. The chief points in the aggressive national attitude of the new cabinet are: Germany must fulfill all her Indemnity obligations. Reparations dominate the economic recovery of Europe. * { If it Is discovered that Germany Is evading payments, an allied control mission should be sent to Berlin to supervise all German finances. Germany must punish her war criminals in a manner to fit the demands of Justice. The allies have the right to impose new penalties upon Germany to enforce their'demand^. France has the right to postpone evacuation of the Rhineland. France will continue to participate in the League of Nations. France will not accept the Invitation to attend the International economic conference at Genoa unless all nations accept the protocol conditions laid down at Cannes. The clauses of the Versailles treaty are not open to debate at Genoa or elsewhere. If there is an Anglo-French treaty of alliance, France must enter on an equal footing with England. Reorganization of the national military defense. Reduction of the term of military service. , "All our efforts to save the French financial situation will fall unless Germany executes all the obligations she has taken to repair the damage she did." Poincare said. "It Is easy to locate the source of the shameful propaganda misrepresenting France's intentions and her attitude as imperialistic. It is madness to accuse us of nurturing, secretly, suspicious aims, as if the war had not Inflicted enough sacrifice. "Germany Is systematically wasting her resources while she pretends she Is Insolvent. Germany Is less taxed than France. Germany does not collect taxes, but prints money, thus depreciating currency In favor of exportations. She permits industrialists to invest in foreign enterprises and organize mock misery. "Her corporations pay enormous dividends. Her factories are working at full capacity and Increasing dally. If the government Is ruined the nation Is becoming rlcfter. It is the entire nation that is the guarantor of the treaty of Versailles. "It Is unnecessary to add that we will attempt to conserve the friendliest relations with the peoples that fought by our side for humanity, especially the United States, whose cooperation so much contributed to the common victory and who has Just given at the Washington conference brilliant proofs of her noble sentiments."
