FEB. 2 IS SET FOR ELECTION OF NEW POPE Giormale d’italia Says Cardinals to Meet on That Bate. MOURN BENEDICT Thousands Pay Tribute to Late Pontiff Lying in State. ROME, Jan. 23—The conclave of cardinals to elect a successor to the late Pope Benedict XV will be held Feb. 2, according to the Giornale D'ltalia today. Following out traditional custom, the Vatican physicians removed from the mortal remains of the Pontiff the heart and viscera, to be placed in an alabaster urn which will repose midst similar urns in the Church of St. Vincent and St. Athanasius. Masses for the repose of the Holy Father’s soul were chanted throughout the morning before an altar in the papal death chamber in the chapels of the Vatican, in the great Cathedral of St. Peters and in all the Catholic church in Rome. Tho burial of Pope Beuedict XV, which was to take place this afternoon, was postponed. It is understood it will take place Tuesday or Wednesday. The mortal remains of the Sovereign Pontiff, dressed in ceremonial death robes, bad been borne by noble guards from the papal chamber to the throne room to lio in state. The body was dressed in a white wool gown with red cape, white cassock and stole, white silk sash with gold tassels white stockings, red shoes and gloves with a violet silk cape lined with ermine. The Pontiff wore a ring and gold mitre. There were two circumstances to indicate that a reconciliation between the Vatican and Quirinal may be at hand. Contrary to previous custom, the Italian flag was lowered to half mast on all government buildings. Furthermore, the Italian minister of justice. Signor Rodino, who is himself a Roman Catholic, called at the Vatican officially o present condolences of the Italian government. The funeral bed, bearing the. body, rested at the foot of the throne. The head was raised slightly. About the catafalque were numerous candles, which shed a dim and flickering light over the scene. The bier was sprinkled with holy water while the sacristan of the Vatican, Monsignor Zampani and the accompanying Prelates prayed. All the gorgeous ceremonials of the middle ages accompany the funeral rites. The scenes are in strange contrast with the practicalities of the Twentieth century.
