Rome, March 7th.—Cardinals ‘of the Roman Catholic Church gathered at the Vatican this morning for the secret consistory at which the Pope anncunc- ed names of 6 new members of the Sa- cred College. The names submitted to the Cardinals were the following :~Mon- signors Dougherty, Archbishop of Phila- delphia; Vivo, Archbishop of Bruges; Baraquer, Archbishop of Tarralgona: Ragonesi, Papal Nuncio in Madrid; Schulte, Archbishop of Cologne: Von Faulhaber, Archbshop of Munich, Long before 9 o’clock the hour fixed for the assembly of the cardinals the piazza of St. Peters was crowded by citizens of Rome and visitors to the city who strug- gled to obtain vantage points from which they . might witness the brilliant procession of the vrinces of the chureh to the throne room of the Vatican. Slow and stately progress was made by the prelates and their attendants to the court of Damaso where they awaited the appearance of the pontiff. In a few min- utes the doors swung open and the Pope- appeared bhe led the cardinals into the throne room and there all but members of the Sacred College withdrew, to allow the Cardinals to carry out the historic procedure of naming the men who would receive the red hat, symbolic of the wearers elevatiog to the supreme gov- erning body of the Chureh. Formal presentation of the insignia of office to the new cardinals will take place on Thursday in the Hall of Beatification of the Vatican. That ceremony will be muel more elaborate than that which occurred today. Chief interest in today’s ceremony is centred in Archbishop Dpugherty who after 31 years as priest, bishop and archbishop, attained a place in the sacred college at an age much below the average for members of that august assembly. Because of the con- cordant w'th Spain, the newly cre- ated Spanish cardinal xill receive the red hat from the hands of King Alfonso. NEW YoRK, March 7th 1921.
