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 j^vnro than seven years.

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.” Indian Steals Engine. KLAMATH FALLS, ORE., May 3 — Inspired by several "shots” of Kla math Falls firewater, C. J.

Boy’s Skull Removed to Strengthen Brain Pre-Natal Injury by St. Louis Tor nado May Be Corrected by Operation. ST LOUIS, MO., April 3.—Alfred Jones, sixteen years old, of 4S78 Bir- cher Road, is no longer "the boy with a twisted brain.” After noted spec ialists had tried in vain to restore his mentality a skillful surgical operation has relieved the pressure of the skull on the memory centers of his brain and he Is beginning to see the light.

Wife May Search Husband's Pockets 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. Anything But Money May Be Re moved by Spouse. Says Learned Judge.
