ARCHBISHOP KEANE SAYS
POPE HASN'T LONG TO LIVE
By Prlrate Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 4.—Among the dis
tinguished visitors In New York today
le Archbishop John J. Keane, of Du
buque, Iowa, formerly rector of the
Catholic University at Washington, and
one of the distinguished prelates In the
American hierarchy. Archbishop Keane
has Juii returned from a visit to Rome
and Is spending a few days at the
Paullst house In West Fifty-ninth
street. He made some most Interest
ing statements concerning the pope and
church matters to friends. Among oth
er things, he Is quoted as saying:
"Pope Plus was practically forced
on the papal throne. He did not wish
to take the responsibility. He will not
live long. He does not want to. In
my opinion, he will never hold a con
sistory, and the outlook for the crea
tion of an American cardinal Is/not
encouraging. The pope, a few days aft
er his elevation, declared that he would
never hold a consistory, and that he
did not wish to hava a long pontificate.
I believe hla wishes will be fulfilled.
"If the pope should decide to honor
this country I believe he would not
create one cardinal, but two; and they
would be the archbishop of New York
and Archbishop Ireland."
