Rome, Jan!" 27.- What name the
n-ext pspe will ehoose"Ts a query that
i3 causing much discussion in Rome.
The "irreconci tables" --led by Cardin
al Merry del Val,' if they succeed in
ejecting their candidate, are under
wood -to be in favor of Leo XIV as
successor 'to Leo XIII. who was al
ways strongly opposed; to the quiri
nal. Should Cardinal Gasparri's peace
party elect its. candidate, it is be
lieved that Benedict XVI will be the
rame of the next pop's, on account
of the late pontiff's policy of closer
relations with the quirinal.
If a compromise is reached it is
expected that the neutral pope will
aclcpt the name of Pius XI. following
the non-extremist policy of Jius X.
The only eventuality not provided
for in the general speculation is the
election of a foreign cardinal, who,
it is pointed out by some, perhaps
would prefer a name not chosen here
tofore. Mass was celebrated today near
the tomb of Benedict XV in St. Pet
er's, by Monrignor Smz de Samper,
major domo of the Vatican. Requiem
mass also was suns: on the high il
tar in the church. Two more requiem
masses will be celebrated on the high
altar, and after that requiem masses
will be sung in (the Sisrine chapel,
until -the ninth ncvendiali masses ar.e
completed on February 1.
The college of cardinals will enter
into conclave Februarj 2 to elect a
pope in succession to the late Pope
Benedict, according to an announce
ment mide this evening by the Os
servatore Romani, the official organ
of the Vatican.

Lieutenant Governor P. A. Bar
rows, presiding officer of the senate
today ruled that the joint resolution
in the senate, which was approved
by a vote of 20 to 12 yesterday, call
ing for a committee to investigate
the cost of state highways, was im
proper and void because it was not i
included in the governor s call. Ac
tion calling for investigation by a
house committee sfill stands.
Senator B. K. Bushee, Kimball,
spokesman for the governor, had
fcught for the resolution, which was
opposed by Walter Hoagland. Lin

would not be effective. The resolu
tion in the house, introduced yester
day by Henry Bock Butler, demand
ing that the governor call on the
department of public works for a
statement of the amount of federal
funds that went .to each county and
how they were used was voted down
by the narrow margin of 51 to 4 0 in!
spite of the charges that the resolu
tion was "democratic politics." There
are only four democrats inthe house.
Call for Treasury Report
Supporting his motion to adopt the
resolution, for information of high
way expenses. Bock said in Butler
county only $9,000 of federal aid had
been received in the last live years
while the county under the federal
state aid road program had spent
$113,000.
The people thought they were
matching dollars with the govern
mentbtit this figure shows they are
paying most of the expense them
selves, he said. '
Administration men. opposing the
resolution, said that the investigat
ing committee authorized Tuesday
would take care of all this informa
tion. "I've been trying for two years to
pet the cost pf roads in Clay county.
