POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS IN CONCORD THIS WEEK Came to Grt First Hand Information About CanJidalcs Who YY'anl to Be Pc 4 master. Some.king definite in regard to tin* posimaislen-ihip race in this city is ox pec tod soon as a result of a visit to this city this week by two inspectors of the I post office department. Announcement was made from Wash j ington several weeks ago that the in opeotoiK would he sent here to get first j hand information about the various can didates. It was also announced that the Civil Servioe Commission would is sue another list of eligibles after the in spectors had made their report, and this list probably will he announced in the immediate future by the commission. The inspectors came to Concord the first, of the week and were here several days. They spent most of their time apparently, talking with business men of the city in tin’s manner getting infor mation about tiie oandiates. It is rumored that the inspect rs asked ah ut all of the candidates. This indpatos that, the YVashinglon report which stated that a new eligible list would be announced, was well founded. John L Miller. YV. B. YVard and S. S. Neal were certified on the first list issued by the commission several months ago. ~~ I' l addition to these three candidates others seeking the office are G. Wd. Kestier. J. F. Harris. \\'. L. Robbins. •T. T. Smith and Mi's. H. S. YY’illiams. Miller headed the first eligible list, it was unofficially announced, but soon af ire the list was made public lie an nounced that he had withdrawn from the race. It was expected that hi* withdrawal would elevate another can didate to the eligible list, but apparent ly this was not done. In the meantime-' it was charged by Mr. ICestler that the name of Mr. YY’ard was endorsed by the county Republican executive committee in violation of the law. He carried the fight to YY’ashing ton. through < Yingressnvan Dough ton Senator Overman and Marion Butler, and as a result of the activities of these men, it is said, a new eligible list was or dered. The situation became so complex that the postoffice department decided to send the inspectors here. They have seen many citizens of the city and it is expected that their report will determine which of the candidates will be certi fied. It is also probable that their re port will decide which of the candi dates is to be appointed. AMERICAN ARCHBISHOPS RECEIY’E RED IIATS Two New Catholic Cardinals Are Cre ated Today at Rome. Rome, March 27.—The consis tory held today by Pope Pius for the creation of the tarn neiy American eirr dlnals—Archbishop Hayes, of New York, and Archbishop Muendlein. of Chicago— was declared by veteran officials ami at taches of the Vatican to have been the most brilliant and impressive ceremony cf the kind within their remembrance. Heretofore it has been an almost un broken custom to hold a consistory in the Royal Hall of the Y’atican, but on the present occasion it was decided to conduct the ceremony iu the great Bas ilicia of St. Peter's Church, because of the extraordinary interest manifested in the elevation of the two American pre lates tc the Sacred College and the lm usually large number of persons who had made advance applications for tick ets cf admission. In all of the apartments and corri dors through which the Pope passed were grouped thousands of the ticket holders, including fany foreigners, es pecially Americans. Pius XI. entered in procession, proceeded, accompanied and followed by the Cardinals and the guards, the dignitaries of the court and church. The pontiff imparted his bless ing as he entered. America was well represented in the Pope’s suite by several bishops, mou signori and other prelates and priests from the United States now visiting Rome. The two new American Cardi nals took the oathr aud received from the Pope the red hats and the Cardinals' rings. The ceremoney was simple but impressive in the extreme. From the moment lie entered the Basilica until he took his departure Pius XL was the object of manifestations of loyalty, es pecially from the tribunes occupied by the diplomatic corps and Roman aris tocracy. Among the thousands of spec tators who had good opportunity to view the pontiff it was generally remarked that there was nothing in the appearance or mainer of His Holiness to substan tiate the reports recently circulated in some quarters that he was in a poor state of health. Rome, March 27 (By the Associated Press). —Pope Pius today publicly con ferred the red hat on Cardinals Hayes and Mundelein, the final act in ithe ele vation of the two American prelates to membership in the sacred college. The ceremony performed in the right tran sept of St. Peters, was carried out with all the pomp and pageantry of thg Rom an Catholic Church in a setting the like of which does not exist outside Rome. It was the first public consistory ever held in the huge basicila. Big Sale of Bankrupt Stock us J. E. laive. On Saturday R. C. Newson and H. T. Mcßride, who have purchased the stock'of J.
