(By Ths Anoeiated Pren) Rome. Jan. 22. Pope Benedict breathed hit last at 6:00 o'clock this morning. The news wm hur riedly communicated' from the papal bed chamber to the princi pal ante chamber, and wa an nounced by Monsignor Pizzardo, deputy papal secretary of state, just aa the ponderous, bells of St. Peter's, overlooking the Vatican court yard, began tolling the hour of 6. Then one by one the bells in Rome'a 400 churches joined in the horologlc symphony that marked the passing of the head of the Koman Catholic churches. Night of Pain. The end came after a long night of intense agony and suffering, the pontiff now and then lapsing into delirium throughout the long, anx ious night. Shortly before mid night he took a little nourishment, which seemed momentarily to re vive his spirits, but within an hour afterwards he began to sink rapid ly. At 1:15 o'clock, Dr. Battis Unnl emerging from the pontifi cal chamber into the ante room, told the Associated Press corres pondent the end was approaching, that already his hands and none felt cold. "He will live only three or four hours at the maximum," said the physician. f From that period ou the popo neared the end of his life. Breath ing became a tragic, agonizing task ns the supreme pontiff, who had resisted the severe lung and throat corgestlon, was now .

Cardinal M Gasparri entered the bed chamber r at 6:00 o'clock, passing through trie ante chamber, wearing deep furrows on the brow of hla bowal head and walking with short rapid steps to the bedside of the dying pontiff. , He had been only nine minutes before the popo breathed his last.. Cardinal Giorgi, grand pl-.nipo-tentiary, attended the pope throughout the whole night, say ing first mass, shortly after mid night. Only half an hour before he died he tried to lift himself up and wished to dress himself, but lie was so weak he sank hack onto his pillow. His hands artd feet already were numb, and it. was plainly seen that death's cold grip had begun Its unreleasing grasp. It was at this moment that it was decided to call all the pontifical family to his bedside. The correspondent . whs per mitted to remain during the entire sickness of the pope in otfe of the adjoining ante chambers, through which all the cardinals passing to and from his holiness' bedside could be seen. Solemn Reverence. Yesterday evening virtually all the cardinals resident in Rome were in attendance, at the Vatican, their arrival at the pontifical apartments being occasioned by solemn reverence on the part of ttiose present. J.ne ambassadors ' from Spain, Argentina and Por tugal called at the apartment to wards midnight for news, but nothing except imminent death could be foreseen at that time. After midnight the crowd which lrad waited many long hours around the court yard diminished to only a few monslgnorl and at taches to the pontifical court. The Vatican now was enveloped in deep silence and forboding dark ness, with the ponderous dome of St. Peter's dominating the per vading gloom. From midnight until' 6 o'clock in the morning there was practically no movement through the apart ments and corridors save an oc asional visit -by Dr. Battaetinni. It was not until the pope actually passed away that a stir to call the pontifical family together was made. The formal announcement of the Dope's passin; was the occasion for a scene of deep-emotion. All ' those present in the ante chamber wept, and the prelates Knelt in ' ttlnt prayer. Shortly afterward . i'..flnat Gasparri proceeded with charge of the affairs or the rch. He will be the nominal ad of the church until a new 'ope Is elected. WEATHER CONDITION North Caroliuo, South Caro lina and Georgia: I'alr and colder Monda JTuoday cloudy.

I PILED UP GOLD- Should Be Invested in For eign Channels , REPORT IS MADE PUBLIC Overstocked Supply Earns No Interest and Serves No Useful Purpose (Bf Tfc AmoeUtcd Pnmy Washington, Jan. 22. Th United States feels It to be to Its own Interest that the surplus stocks of gold in the country should be redistributed and utilised through Investment .in foreiga channels, acordlng to a statement on the effect of exchanges on inter-American commerce made public tonight by the United States section of the Inter-American high commission.. The statement expressed ths views of the American eection, of which Secretary Hoover Is chair man, on the International- ex change situation for the Informa tion - of the .Latin American aeo tlons of the commission, ths inter change of views having been ar ranged after a meeting of the na tional sections In their various capitals last month. In its statement the American section discussed the exchange situ ation from the European stand point as well as from the inter. .American and United Btatea angle , nrort onate In the country, the statement de clared, the situation was unfortu nate because the high prpmlum on American exefrange has attracted the gold flow of the world, result ing in overstocking beyond ' cur rency needs and a surplus earning no interest and serving no useful purpose. "The United Btatee," tht statement said, "feel It to be to Its own Interest that this gold should be utilized in foreign channels and also that.it be redistributed. From an economic point of view, the method of utilization Is by the in vestment of capital abroad. Tht method of redistribution should be through loans for reproductiv enterprise 'and by specific gold loans to countries which are in u position to undertake the reorgan ization of their currenclea on a gold basis. The United States sec. tion regards it as mutually desir able and profitable that capital in vestments should be made in tht other American republics where national credit rest squarely In stability on the eocial,order." Responsibility for the disordered world exchange situation was at tributed by the statement xo dis locations still existing in the whnlr Internal economic structure and the derangements bf the Interna tional politics atructure.

Outside of hla own coun try he waa best known In tha Unit ed 8lates, where since tha early eighties hla Interests had so large ly centered that ha waa sometimes styled an "English Yankee. One remarkable thing repeatedly said of him waa that ha knew America better than most Americana.

He wsa a man af varied achieve ments, and mere reference to his interest In America does not by any means sum up his remarkable ca reer.

The agreement between Michael Collins and Sir Jamss Craig, the Ulster premier, concerning the boycott and the boundary between north and south Ireland, although It bad not been expected at this stage of tho situa tion, has been welcomed in Dublin j as the first step toward Irish unity. I Both sides are regarded aa hav ing had the strongest reasons for desiring the agreement. The Bel fast boycott was paralyzing all the distributing agencies in Belfast and ths Belfast banks, which do a large business in south and west Ireland, had been hard hit by re fusals to accept their checks or - notes. The task of governing the minority In northwest Ulster was I embarrassing the Belfast govern ment, which was faced with resist ance as intense as that offered to the British government by the rest of Ireland. I On the other hand many thou sands of northern nationalists are ; living in acute distress and unaulo to get back to their employmen t. They had felt that In the London treaty they had been forgotten, and their delegates at a recent ex ecutive meeting ot the Sinn Fein expressed their , disappointment and asked for guidance regarding their future policy toward the Ulster government. Their delegates then discussed the (matter pri vately with both Mr. de Valera and Mr. Griffith. It is considered prob able that their representations to the new Irish government to make a speedy settlement with the northern authorities, will be In stituted.

When the defense I rested Fri day after offering testimony for four days, general opinion seamed to be' that the prisoner would be freed. His attorneys had present-, ed an almost impregnable defense.
