e Ohio River at Cincinnati was reported at 52.4 feet, 4 above flood

stage, and three feet lower thang

yesterday. At Louisville, the river was falling slightly, standing at 61.7, which was 6.7 feet above flood stage. . A half inch or more of rain that drenched the Ohio Valley during the last 24 hours may retard the fall of the Ohio River, but probably will not cause a new flood, U. S. Meteorologist W. C.

Rain was reported in the river valley from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Ill, but Mr. Devereaux said the river's recession would continue slowly. At Evansville, the Ohio River stood at 44.2 feet, 9.2 feet above flood stage, and was .8 foot higher than yesterday. Heavy rains were recorded all over the State last night. Some of the larger falls were .69 of an inch here; (Continued on Page Three)

“The President desires me to express to Your Eminince profound condolences on the death of His Holiness Pope Pius XI,” Secretary Hull said. “His great spiritual qualities and his zeal for peace and tolerance won him a place in’ the hearts of all races and creeds. «word of his passing has been received with deep sorrow throughout the United States.”

Three Hurry to New York

As Secretary Hull's message was transmitted to the Vatican, it appeared that. all three American Cardinals ‘would make every effort to reach Rome in time to participate in the election of the new Pope. _ Only ly before. have American * Cardinals beén able: to participate in papal elections.’ Catholic officials recalled only two previous 903 His ' Eminence ‘Gibbons voted in

BISHOP RITTER ORDERS 30-DAY MOURIUNG RITE

All Church2s in Diocese Asked to Hold Requiem ‘Masses.

een

The Most Rev. Elmer J. Ritter, Bishop of the Catholic diocese of Indianapolis, today directed that all diocesan churches celebrate a High Mass of Requiem, and where possible, a solemn High ‘Mass on the day of the solemn burial of His Holiness Pope Pius XI in Rome. He gave tho direction in letters sent. to pastors: of the diocesan churches todsy, and exhorted “the faithful to attznd this Mass in their respective parishes and also to offer special prayers and - Holy Communions for ne month, that God may - not remember the human weaknesses but in His mercy reward, by a peedy happiness, the great service of His faithful servant.” In a special statement issued to the press, Bishop Ritter eulogized the life of th2 Pope, who died today in Vatican City.

_ Bishop Issues Statement.

Bishop Ritier’s statement read: “The whole world mourns the death of Pope Pius XI. His spiritual children have suffered a great loss

seen the passing of its greatest public servant. 'All of the energy of the Holy Father was devoted to the peace and happiness of the human race, regardless ‘of ‘race, color or religious ‘belief. He was truly the ‘Pope of the People’, their defender in the face of tyranny, persecutions “ “Calied Out ‘of comparative obscurity at the age of 66, only '& few months before the death of his saintly predecessor, to bé made a ‘member 0. the Sacred College of Cardinals, he was destined by Providencé fo give to the Church a Pontificete unsurpassed in saintly vigor gnd spiritual accomplishment. “His untiring efforts in behalf of world peace alone will make his career no eworthy. His voice was heard throughout the nations of the earth” pleading for Christian Justice and charity both among nations ‘and ' individuals. Never to be forgotten was his world wide radio plea for eace as he lay on what seemed ip be his death bed on Christmas eve in 1936. Encyclicals Recalled “A man of unbounded energy and zeal, his labors ‘within the church will be remarkable for his many encyclicals—chief among these is his call to the laity for Catholic Action, ‘or a more active participation in the apostolate of the hierarchy. All of his encyclicals are -vitel' and concerned with the fundamental problems of humanity, problems such as education, marriage, th.e home, the priesthood, social ref)rm and social reconsfruction. “In ¢pite of the many official duties hich claimed his time and physical strength; he found opportunity to promote and encourage all plans concerned with scientific progress and the welfare of humanity. A great lover of the out-doors, as well as a patron of the arts and sciences, his appeal to the popular mind was most compelling.. Political history, no doubt will record as one of his great accomplishments the expert and decisive settlement of the Roman: question which has.so greatly enaanced the influence" and prestige. of the Papacy. “Divince Providence has indeed given to the world and to the church a great leader in Pope Pius XI. dow admirably he strove to ealize the. motto of his reign—'To.

Le! restore all things in Christ in /the

Kingdom of Christ.’ He takes his place among the immortals of history as one of the distinctively great Ponti/fs—a ' saintly churchman, a noble statesman and a brilliant scholgr.” : The Indiana House of Represen-
