ROME, May 3.—Three powerful
Cardinals are in control of the affairs
of the Roman Catholic Church to-day
during the illness of His Holiness
the Pope. This triumvirate of Cardi-
pals is composed of Merry del Val
Papal Secretarv of State; Vives
Tutto and Cajetan de Lai.
It is the general belief that the
Sacred College of Cardinals manages
affairs of the church in the event ot
the illness of the Pope, but this is
not so. It has been the custom for
the Pope to turn' his authority into
the hands of a triumvirate of which
the Papal Secretary of State is us
ually a member. If the Pope should
die, however, the authority of the
triumvarite would cease instantly and
pass to the College of Cardinals un
til the election of a successor to the
Pontifical office.
For the present all must bow to the
■wishes of Cardinals Merry del Val.
Tutto and de Lai. There has been
considerable ill feeling aroused among
the Cardinals since the ascendancy
of these three members of the Sacred
College. Most of the Cardinals are
Italians and there was a tendency
to resent the authority thus invested
in Merry del Val, who is half Span
ish and half English. It is said .that
the Cardinals feel that the triumvir
ate has exceeded its authority in some
particulars, especially with regard to
the secrecy with which the illness of
the Pope lias been surrounded. It
has been practically impossible for
any but his physicians to visit him
in his rooms in the Vatican Palace
Even his own relatives have been ex
cluded at times.
Succession Destroyed.
It is the general opinion in Rome
that if any one of these three Car
dinals ever was likely to election to
tile Papacy this likelihood lias been
destroyed since Iheir control of the
church.
It Is not believed, however, that his
Holiness would be inclined to inter
fere with Merry del Val even if in
formed that the latter had assumed
an authority not his. It is well
known that the Pope thinks a great
deal «.f Merry del Val. The Secre
tary* of State has been mere power
ful under Pope Ptns X than was Car
clinal Rampolla as Secretary under
Pope L«o XITI. p rom the very mo
ment of his election Pope Pius be
stowed his favor upon Merry del Val.
When the Sacred College elected
Cardinal Sarto to the Papacy the new
Pope’s fijst act was to drop his own
red hat upon the head of Merry del
Val, who was not then a Cardinal
thus signifying ’hat Merry del Val
was soon to be laised to the Cardi
nals u'. Shortly thereafter Merry del
Val donned tin- scarlet cap and with
in a brief time was made Secretary
of State.
v Nursed By Sisters.
The Pope has insisted on being
nursed by hi- sifters. who were con
tinually at his bedside at the time
it was feared his illness would b
fatal, but it is contrary to the eti
quette of the V&lican for women to
spend a night in the P pe’s apart
ment and Cardinal Merry de! Val re
fused to allow th- rule, which dates
back to the seventeenth century to
be broken. Every evening the two
oid women were compelled to leave
the Vatican with heavy hearts and
the fear that their brother would di '
during their absence. Their anxiety
was increased by the fear that their
brother would die suddenly and that
in the confusion at the last moment
a message summoning them to the
Vatican would be forgotten.
The eldest sister. Maria, one even
ing refused to leave the Vatican ana
sent a telegram i her nephew. Mgr.
Parolin, the parish priest at Passeg-
no. who came here to spend the nights
at the bedside of his uncle. He in
sisted that Pope should receive the
vaiaticum. Cardinal Merry del aVl
refused to allow this to be done on
the ground that it would cause,
alarming reports. Mgr. Parolin as
sured his uncle that there was no
Imminen: danger and the pontiff, al
though almost unconscious, is re
ported to have said that it would be
strange indeed f he were to die
surrounded by priests and yet be
without spiritual ^pomfort. He madi
his nephew promise to give him the
last absolution instead of the Cardi
nal Penitentiary as soon as he
thought the end was coining.
CAMDEX. N. J., May 3.—Howard
John, formerly orominent in church
work, pleaded guilty of embezzling
$4,000 from a firm by which he had
been employed, most of which, it is
said, was applied to charitable uses.
Although a representative of the firm
asked that mere/ be extended, John
was sentenced to <:n imprisonment of
not less than eighteen months nor

the will of the great American king
of finance.
The last will and testament of J.
Pierpont Morgan disposed of un
told millions.
There were $20,000,000 of bequests.
It will be fully a year before the
world will know the value of the resi
due handed down to J. P. Morgan, Jr.
And “Junius Spencer Morgan, a
student at Harvard,” the press dis
patches told, “is nominated in the
will to take up oertairr-duties in the
event of the death of his father, J. P.
Morgan II.”
“So Morgan’s grandson,” people
said, ”is a student at Harvard! What
sort of a chap is he? How has it
happened that we have never heard
of him before?”
This chronicle is an attempt to an-
swer these suestions.
Junius Spencer Morgan, named for
his great-grandfather, is a rich young
man quite like other rich young men
wdio.se riches are not new to them.
He shuns and abhors personaL pub
licity, quite as his grandfather shun
ned and abhorred it. Ho inherits his
father’s dislike for the photographer.
Only the other day he shook his fist
at the young man who “took” the
picture which accompanies this per
sonal mention. “You’re not wanted
here!” this youngest of the Morgans
cried out to the camera man.
The photographer expected a mix-
up, when, suddenly Morgan checked
himseK. He grinned, pulled his hat
down over his face and moved away.
He may have had visions of the cap
tion for another sort of picture:
“MORGAN’S GRANDSON WHIPS
PHOTOGRAPHER”
Has No Automobile.
In Cambridge, they say that young
Morgan—he is 21 years old—is
“nothing out of the ordinary.”
He gets along on $2,000 a year.
He has no automobile.
He pays $600 for his rooms in Reck
Hall, one of the college dormitories.
He.is a member of the Porcellian
Club—sometimes called the “Pork"—
the last word in the exclusiveness of
Hfarvard selectness. Only twenty un
dergraduates, ten from the senior and
ten from the junior class, can belong
to the Porcellian.
He is not at all a snob, and yet he
] is not a “mixer.” 11 is side is. appar-
1 cntly, that he knows nobody at Har
vard whom he did not know before
he came. This does not mean that
he is either lonesome or lonely, for
his mother was one of the Beacon
Street Grews and the younger Mor
gan has several Harvard acquain
tances among the Boston men.
He likes the theater, he loves the
river and he “goes in” for tennis.
Like his grandfather, finally, Ju
nius Spencer Morgan, who some day
may be called upon to rule the great
est of American banking houses, is
more or less a silent person. Some
call him “Silent” Morgan.
Most of these things were related of
the young men by other Harvard
young men who do not pretend to in
timacy with him. He fills no particu
lar place in the little world of his col
lege. He leads no “crowd.” He has
“made” the best of college societies.
For the rest he appears to be rather
a “lazy” young man!
Morgan if so lazy, in fact—and per
haps it is well that “Grandpa” did
not know' of this—that he has yet to
pass off an entrance condition. This
is why, in his junior year, he is still
rated a member of the sophomore
class.
Morgan came to college shy—of al
things!—in mathematics.
One of these days, therefore, he will
be called to the college “office” and
told to “get busy.”
It will not avail him th/*n that his
father is one of the Fellows of the
Corporation. Instead—If he follows
the course of other rich young men
who have been prodded by the "of
fice”—he will call upon the “Widow
Nolan,” a professional tutor and a
Harvard institution, and, guided by
the “widow ’ or one of his several
first-alds-to-the-indolent, will be put
through a course of sprouts at the
fiat rate of $5 an hour. He will leave
the “Widow”—who isn’t a widow at
all, of course—fit to take any hurdle
that Harvard^jnathematieians want to
place beforCnim.
Being of the Grew family of Beacon
Street, young Mr. Morgan occasional
ly journeys into Boston. His uncle is
Henry S. Grew, of Marlboro Street, in
the Back Bay, president of the Na
tional Union Bank. The family is re
lated to the Wigglesworths, another
Boston family as old as the Puritan
capital.
Mostly, these Boston visits are for
the purpose of occupying a front row
seat in one of the theaters, but Mor
gan Junior is unknown to Back Bay
nail rooms.
Has No Valet.
He is tail and fc.g, this young stu
dent who may yet be one of the finan
cial powers of the Republic, with cer
tain suggestions that physically he is
inclined to the Morgan heaviness. An
other note of the Morgan is his large
nose.
There is no Morgan valet In Cam
bridge. The young man of many mil
lions—in the prospective—Is believed
to be the possessor of not more than
three or four suits of clothing. His
accustomed attire may besl be de
scribed by the well-worn phrase “neat
but not gaudv." The cloth is usually
dark. He shuns jewelry, except a
watch chain, avoiding ever, a scarf
pin. he wears a black tie and he af
fects a felt hat.
If it were not for his social suc
cesses he would pass unnoticed in the
great crowd of Harvard men. But.
one after another, he has “made”
those Harvard clubs which the social
ly elect call Ivorth while.
At the end of his freshman year, for
instance, he had made the famous
“Institute of 1770.”
i Election to the Institute marks the
first upward step in a social career at
Harvard.
Men do not seek the Institute, old
est of the social organizations at Har
vard; they are “chosen.” Ten at a
time they are picked, from the fresh
man and the sophomore classes, until
the limit of one hundred is reached.
So, Morgan was picked, ami so later
he was picked for the Porcellian.
The Porcellian twenty come ten
each from the junior and the senior
classes. Theodore Roosevelt was a
Porcellian. So was Henry Uabot
Lodge. So were J. P. Morgan, Jr.,
and August Belmont. The members
arc not only men of wealth, hut men
of families socially eminent. Some of
the associates of young Morgan in
the present club are E. D. Morgan, Jr.,
of New York; Percy Wendell, the ath
lete; “Ted” Frothingham. of the elev
en; Morgan Belmont. Leverett Sal-
tonstall and Charles P Curtis, Jr., of
a well known Boston family.
Hit Social Bull’s-eye.
The home of the Porcellian Club is
built on college land in Massachusetts
Avenue. Here is the headquarters of
this youngest of the Morgans. Here, I
every morning, he may be found at
breakfast.
The club house is richly furnished.
The surroundings are luxurious. A
colored servitor .in liven,- guards the
portal. Other colored men are wait
ers and attendants.
Over the entrance—on either side
are a famous book store and a fur
nishing goods shop—is carved in stone
the club coat of arms, the head of a
wild pig. Hence "The Pork.”
On his society way from the In
stitute entrance to the Porcellian goal,
Morgan became a member of the Sig
net Club, founded in '70, and the Phe-
nix Club, now in its eleventh year.
Tljese are good clubs, but when Ju
nius Spencer Morgan “made” the Por
cellian—became one among twenty
among 4.194—he had hit the social
bull’s-eye of college life and had rung
the bell.
Hi- tirm* is largely divided between
the PorcelMan Glub, where not more
than nineteen others may enter, and
his rooms in “Beck.” If hie failure to
remove a “condition” is an indication
of laziness it must 3 r et he said of the
wealthy student, that he has passed
his examinations with good marks
even if he has never made a scholar
ship.
SACRAMENTO, CAL., May 3.—
Scandal in army post life, which
echoed from Jackson Barracks, New
Orleans, to the War Department at
Washington, but w as kept a secret in
military circles, although it resulted
in an order forbidding the return of
Mrs. Bessie C. Merriam, wife of Cap
tain Henry C. Merriam, now stationed
at the Presidio, to the Louisiana post,
where her husband was stationed. Is
revealed in the petitions filed in secret
with the Supreme Court In connection
with the suit for divorce instituted by
Captain Merriam last November.
Hundreds of pages of sworn testi
mony by army officer*, and social
leaders in the South, as well as tire
statements of soldiers, servants and
friends at Jackson Barracks, New Or
leans; Fort Banks, Mass.; Fort Moul
trie, Fort Hancock, N. J.; Watervliet
Arsenal, New York. and Fort
Monroe, Va„ are contained in the
petitions. The tel 1 of alleged indis
cretions, naming Major Clarence
Murphy, of New Orleans, as co-re
spondent; of an attempted suicide by
Mrs. Merriam and an alleged attempt
on her part to shoot her husband in
their quarters* facing the Jackson
Barracks parade grounds.
Southern Chivalry.
Southern chivalry also is brought to
tfye fore by the appeals of Mrs. Mer
riam to men of social standing in New
Orleans to come to her rescue and de
fend her character, which v.-ae at
tacked by her husband ami his asso
ciate officers in the army.
The appeals arc not in vain, for
several, including Albert M. Andrews
Stephens and Judge King, of the Civil
District Court at New Orleans, fur
nish depositions in which they declare
that, so far as their knowledge goes,
Mrs. Merriam did not deserve the or
der made against her.
The papers under seal reveal that
in May. June and July, 1911, Jackson
Barracks was a boiling pot over the
Merriam scandal, a part of which is
alleged to have occurred during the
absence of Captain Merriam, who was
with a company of coast artillery on
the Mexican border.
Automobile joy rides with Major
Murphy, w ine dinners in rooms he oc
cupy d at the Grunewald Hotel, in
New Orleans, and conversations over
the telephone between Major Mur
phy ana Mrs. Merriam, listened to bv
soldiers attending to the post tele
phone switchboard, are told in detail.
Custody of Daughter.
The fig’ni between Captain Merriam
and his wife has narrowed down to
the custody of their 9-year-old daugh
ter, Charlotte, to whom the mother is
alleged to have given poison at Jack-
son Barracks in 1911 when she her
self took a draught of the same drug.
Mrs. Merriam admitted talcing the
poison and also giving it to her
daughter, but says it was all a mis
take. She says she administered the
wrong medicine and had no intention
of taking her own life or killing her
daughter.
Captain Merriam has retained At
torneys Linforth and Herrington as
his counsel, and Mrs. Merriam, who
now is stopping with relatives at Noo
nan. N. Dak., has employed Willard I*.
Smith and Judsori W. Reeves for her
side.
The daughter, the only child of the
couple, is w ith her mother, and Cap
tain Merriam is seeking an order to
recall her to his custody here.
Captain Merriam and his wife were
married at Manila on August 29, 1900,
while the husband was serving in the
Spanish-American War.
Among the depositions filed is one
by Mrs. M. L. Britt, wife of Captain
Britt, V. S. A., now at Troy, N. Y.
She is i close friend of Mrs. Mer
riam and lived beside her at army
posts at Fort {Banks, Mass., and Fort
Moultrie. During all the years she
knew her, she declares, Mrs. Merriam
always was a loving mother and did
her j<art to make the marital life a
pleasant one.
This Bridegroom Has
Just Got to Obey
ATHENS, May 3.—The great heart
of Athens is rent asunder in contem
plation of a new and fretting problem
Municipal bigwigs are sharply di
vided and families are at loggerheads
over the question of whether chick
ens shall be allowed longer to run at
large in the Classic City, or kept un
der lock and ke^- from early morn
tfl! dewy eve, that they may neither
be seen nor heard hereafter in pro
scribed places.
Thomasville, with Its famous and
everlasting pro and anti-cow agita
tion, is no less engaged in internecine
war than is Athens in respect of *n«*
fowls that long have vexed a portion
of its patience.
Councilman Hugh H. Gordon pre
cipitated the disturbance when lie
proposed a new city ordinance, requir
ing all owners of chickens within the
limits of the city of Athens to keep
said chickens securely confined and
strictly under iheir own vine and tig
tree.
Many Amateur Gardeners.
Athens is abundantly blessed with
amateur gardeners. Its population is
more or less old-fashioned, in a way.
and loves the conservatism of bygone
days. its broad and untarnished
escutcheon has been tainted little, if
any, with despised modernism, and
hence everybody who is anybody has
a big back yafd and a fine and dan i •
garden spot. Moreover, it is a spre
mark of eminent respectability to
work one's own garden in Athens and
to raise one's own radishes, snap
beans, lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, car-
rots and the like for one’s ow n table.
And it is a fact that the unre
strained liberty of the chickens in
Athens has of late seemingly int -
fered much with the orderly proce
dure of this honorable garden cus
tom. Hence the grow ing anti-chicken
sentiment abroad in the Classic City
nowadays.
Long-suffering citizens have com
plained that their neighbors’ chickens
get into gardens they have no busi
ness in, and there proceed to scratch
up the young and tender vegetable,
thus rendering the fruits of much la
bor vain, and even as that of the Dead
Sea.
It took Athens a long time to make
up its mind to harden its heart
against its old friends, the chickens
It*, habitual conservatism rebelled at
the thought of doing something radi
cal—and turning foe to the chickens
in its midst was radicalism run riot
In Athens!
Still, there was Athens, up against a
choice of two evils—either to see its
time-honored gardens go to wreck
and ruin, of banish the chickens from
the commons, the byways and hedges,
and decree that no more should chick
ens in its vicinity roam wheresoever
fancy led them and in their erstwhile
unchallenged freedom.
Chickens Have Friends.
Let it not be understood, however,
that the chickens have no friends in
Athens. Far be it from such! There
are brave citizens who rate chicken* 1
ahead of garden “sass.” and who firm
ly aver that if either the chickens or
the gardens must go, fare-you-well
gardens! These doughty persons will
fight to the bitter end Councilman
Gordon’s extraordinary proposal in re
the suppression of the fowls.
Theve pro-chickenites have organ
ized themselves into an aggressive
legion of protest, and will go before
the Council when the chicken ordi
nance comes up for final passage, then
and there to mash it flat with weighty
arguments and profound logic, if the
mashing happens to he fair to mid
dling good that evening.
Athens has this matter very much
up in the air at present. Bookmakers
incline to lay no odds* either for <>r
against the chickens, and only the
best sports rtf the town offer to bet
anything on the outcome of the dis
pute, one way or the other
In the meantime, one-half of Ath
ens is viewing Councilman Gordon
with genuine alarm, while the other
half is pointing to him with unalloyed
pride.
He Promised When Magistrate Not 1
Familiar With Job Mixed Up
Lines in Ceremony.
NEW YORK, May 3.—Marrying a
youthful couple in his chambers in
Jefferson Market Court yesterday,
Magistrate Levy made the bride
groom promise to “obey” the bride.
The bridegroom was Thomas
Evans, twenty-three years old, of 142
East Twenty-second Street. He ap
peared before the Magistrate with
Miss Margaret Cook, nineteen of 403
East Fifty-third Street. Magistrate
Levy hasn’t been marrying people
very long, and asked Evans if he
would “love, honor and obey” his
wife. Evans solemnly said he would.
When the Magistrate’s attention
was called to the innovation, he said:
“Well, if he keeps the promise, no
harm will come of it.”

Work of Famous Sculptor for
Uncle Remus Association to
Be Exhibited Here.
The handsomest gift as yet made
| the Uncle Remus Memorial Assocta-
I tlon is the low-relief bronze bust
; made by Roger Noble Burnham, of
Boston, and presented by Mr. anti
| Mrs. Burnham and a few members of
• t he Boston Branch Folk Lore Socle-
i ty, and the Boston Author Club.
The medallion will be put on ex-
I hibitlon in a central location on
j Whitehall Street, early in the w'oek.
; and will soon thereafter be installed
! vlth the autograph collection in the
I Wrens Nest Library at Snap Bean
Farm.
When the Uncle Remus Memorial
Association was organized, Mrs.
Burnham was appointed chairman of
the Boston auxiliary, and it is through
her influence and effort that the
money was raised to supply the ma
terial for the making of the bronze
bust. The work is that of Mr. Burn
ham who is one of the foremost sculp
tors in the .East.
During her young ladyhood. Mrs
Burnham was a frequent visitor in
Atlanta, living at her father’s home
at Cement. As Eleanor Waring she
was a belle and beauty, and descend
ed from the first Governor, George
Houston Waring, of Savannah.
Mr. Burnham has had several of
his portraits on exhibition in the
Spring Salon at Paris this year, and
the bronze he has Just contributed
to the Wrens Nest collection of art
treasures, has been favorably viewed
at the Copley Galleries at Boston, the
Boston City Club, and the Boston Ag
ricultural Club.
During the past summer, a num
ber of Atlantans visited the Burn
hams’ studio at Magnolia, Mass.,
among the number being Mr. and
Mrs. Reuben Arnold, and Mrs. Rich
ard Johnson, a cousin of Mrs. Burn
ham.
Recently Mr. Burnham lias been in
vited to make an exhibition of low-
relief portraits, which is the most dif
ficult of all relief work, at the In
ternational Exposition of Ghent, to be
held from May to November of 1913.
Mr. Burnham will remain in Boston
this year as he is engaged upon four
colossal figures, Justice, Industry, Ed
ucation, and Charity, which have been
designed by him for the annex of
the City Hall of Boston, and accept
ed by the Boston Art Commission.
Mr. Burnham also designed the Cali
fornia University medal which is an
nually presented to the most distin
guished graduates of the institution.
At the dedication of the Wrens
Nest, Mr. and Mrs. Burnham will
visit Atlanta as guests of the Uncle
Remus Memorial Association.

.Judge from my picture as to tHe truth
of what 1 say to you—that the crown
ing feminine attribute is a bust of
beautiful proportions, firmness and ex
quisite development. Then ask yourself
how much you would like to have such
a photograph of yourself, showing th**
£lory of womanhood “vith its lines of
infinite charm and grace. It would be
worth far more than a two-cent stamp,
would it not? Then let me give you my
message—let me tell you of what I have
learned and let me give you recent pic
tures of myself to prove what I say—
for if you will write me to-day
I Will Tell You How-FREE
I will tell you gladly and willingly.
Why should any woman neglect an op
portunity to escape the pain and heart
ache of being skinny, scrawny, angular
and unattractive in body? Misery is
not our heritage. Nature planned that
you—a woman--should have the rich,
pulsing lines of warm, living flesh
molded after the mother of us all, the
description of whom perfumes our sa
cred literature with love and admiration
for tlu- divinity‘of woman’s form. For
why should there be that pitiful aspect
—the face of u woman and the form of
a man.
Write to Me To-day
I don’t care how fallen, or flaccid, or
undeveloped your bust now is—1 want
to tell you of a simple home method—I
want to tell you how you can gain per
fect development one ounce a day. No
physical culture-—no massage, foolish
baths <«r paste—no plasters, masks or in
jurious injeotions—I want to tell you of
an absolutely new method, never before
offered or told about—insuring immedi
ate success and permanent beauty.
Send No Money
Just write me a letter—address it to
me personally—that's all f w’ill an
swer it by return mail—and you can de
velop your bust one ounce a day—you
can be what you w’ant to be. Believe
j me when I say that you will bless me
| through years of happiness for pointing
i the way to you and telling you what 1
i know. Please send your letter to-day
