J. O. Writ?s From Florid* U. S. Immigration Service, Key West, Florida, ji January 30, 1922. 1 My last letter from Charleston was put in The Times under the heading.! "Farewell Letter." It did seem like farewell, didn't it? Hut I haven't waited a whole month to write. You sec January isn't gone yet. My letters from Florida aren't r?ew, bu* ; :e a revival of the old. Howc\or. th's i> my lirst experience at K* > West. i won't keep you long *i..- time. I'll give you a brief out)': of what I have learned about this hit ie i- land ehy. 'Jr. the evening, or rather late aftv r. f the 10th, I arrived here.! . a-, in - d my presence.

There < re passenger boat a day except Si.nda\ Some days we have airp\-n? s front Cuba with passengers. As fo>- Key West, it is a city of about 2.*>.000 people. It is situated on r> bt'le island about 3x7 miles in size] off the lower coast of Florida. To reach it one must go over the Flagler] railroad known as the Key West extension. The railroad runs over sea from ke\ to key. I know of no other railroad like It in the world. Most of the houses here are old two-st >ry frame buildirgs. There are a few brick, and concrete buildings, hr.t they belong to a later generation titan the early settlors. The streets n>v very well planned, almost checkerboard style. Columbia is checkerboard j style. Residences and business houses' are intermingled. The city isn't beau' ful but there are many beautiful att*r n/*fiiAr?Q 5ill flfrfiQ Mary religious denominations arc represented by the churches here. Or ( Sunday morning one hears n relic of the Pur-tan times, namely, the ringing of the church hells. It seems that there is a hell on every corner, but. that is deceiving for there are many corners w'thout churches. The melodious tones produced by so many bells ringintr at the same time 3onnd into the distance far and near. The most beautiful are the chimes of the Episcopal church. Sacred hymns are renders by thesfc chimes, which are similar tofthose of St. Michael's and St. Matthew's of Charleston, which I told you about some months ago. About one-half of the permanent inhabitants speak Spanish. My first evening I walked down the main street everybody I saw was speaking Spanish, except two negroes. I promised not to detain you long, so now I'll pro and return later. So long. J. T Lockhart Junction IxK'khart Junction, Jan. 30.?The last week in January has given us some winter weather. More snow run! ice than we have seen this winter. We can't complain, for it has been so pretty. One lonil winter month has about gone, and it seems to me to have passed quickly. 1 j don't know how it seems to you nli,l but, dear readers, every day that , goes by and every year reminds u 1 of e day or one year nearer the j : tiu; journey of life.

That is what we should think about Lost oportunities and privileges are never v gained, so we should look well to the days and years as they ^ come and go and use them right. I want to thank the many readers of The Times for complimenting my letters; it is encouraging to me. I .... . .. Iw.?

I heard a woman say, "Why, if 1 were to go to church now I would be made fun of," when she was asked by a pood person to go.; I4 is not right to discriminate too much along this line. I think we I need more people to go out and look, after those who think that they are i , not noticed, as God is no respecter of, , persons.

There are now living about 60 Car- j dinals including six Cardinal-Bishops, six Cardinal-Deacons and others Cardinal-Priests. Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli, is J Dear of the Sacred College. Italians ! compose about one-half of the mem-1 Let ship of the College, with Spain' next in order with seven members, j Kngland and the United States have, two each with one in Canada and one in South America. The American Bishops av<- William Cardinal O'Con-' nel 1, Anhbi-hop of Boston and Den-; nis Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop! of Philadelphia. The College is required to meet on the 10th day after the death of a: !'ope. A t'vo-thirds vote is necessary' for an election. While the -e is no! law against the election of a layman.' i has become tradition to elect the ] r ew Pope from the membership of j the College of Cardinals, and is tra- \ < tixial also that the Pope should! be chosen from the Italian Cardinals ! b. is stated that this tradition has j not been departed from in nearly -10t'! years. The . Cardinals will meet for the opening of the conclave in the Sisi nc Chapel where mass for the Holy Ghost will be said by the Cardinal Dean. They will then proceed with their officers and assistants to that ; | e.vt of the Vatican set apart for the election. This will form a secluded precinct where they will be guarded ; ly the marshal ol tne conclave. I Their seclusion will be strict. Comi I >uni? at ion with the outside world during the sessions of the College is possible only through a small window equipped with somethting like a rev.living door used in office buildings in the United States. The use of this i - restricted to the sending out of laundry and receiving of food and medicine. Each Cardinal-Bishop will have | three rooms and each Cardinal-Priest : and Cardinal-Deacon two rooms. Tel ; ephones have been installed in the ! apartment of each of the Cardinals ! so they will he able to communicate with each other but this telephone exchange is not connected with the city exchange and there can be no telephone communication with the outside world. The Cardinals will be walled in within the large hall of the Vatican which is divided so as to provide these small compartments. At prescribed hours twice a day the Cardinals will come together to vote, the actual balloting taking place in the Sistlne Cjhapel. This must continue until a candidate receives more than twothirds of the vote. The ballots are burned after each indecisive vote is taken. Large crowds gather daily in the square of St. Peter to watch the smoke of the burning ballots issue from the chimney. Failure to see the smoke at the usual time serves as a signal to the crowd that a new Pontiff has been chosen and the throng rushes inside the Basilica to await the appearance of the new head of the Church to apnoar on a balcony and bestow his first apostolic blessing. When the new Pope is chosen he is requested to select the name by which he to be known thereafter. , ^ , W3&OLD RELIABLE REMEDY?

The other ay, when the regents got tired of lie administration of Pendell Evan;eli, Prime Minister, they told him o resign or there would be blodhed. He refused. He was given 12 hours in which to hoose between the loss of his poition and the loss of his head. At nidnight he went to his hotel to deberate ortyhe stern ultimatum. An hour later a group of repreentative Albanians, among them teveral members of the government, ailed upon tho Premier and told lim those in authority would brook id delay in his resignation. The nnissaries were accompanied by soliiers with rfles and machne guns, rhey explained of he didn't get out ilood would be spilled, innocent peo)le killed, and a revolution might en;uc. Hasan's regime was short-lived :oo. His administration was a faillre. He suffered the same fate as lis predecessors, although the terms >f his resignation were not quite so jeremptory or unconventional as is those of Evangeli. The regents ire now easting about for a new hief of state. There has since been a revolutionary atmosphere in the city and trouble has been momentarily feared. Parliament howe ver was guarded by loldiers and machine guns. In the midst of their relief work among the widows and children, the American Red Cross workers are finding many thrills. They are. however, in no danger, as their welfare and security is' the first thought of the Albanian and Italian authorities. It is generally felt among the fore;gn colony that there can never be r stable government here so long as the regents are in power. It is said some of them cannot oven read or write. Nevertheless they are in absolute control of the country. The most hopeful friends of the Albanians sometimes despair of their ever developing into an orderly, efficient, self-governing people. Slave Raids and Arms There's a dramatic re-incarnation of the past in the news that large shipments of anus and ammunition from the Uni&d States have been held up by the French at Jibuti, to prevent their being delivered to Abyssinians and used for raids to supply the slave-market of Addis Abeda, the Abyssinian capital, where there are already more slaves than free men and where tho British Legation has to employ slaveowners and have the slaves around, |mch against its will, considering y ') afond part of the "black-ivory" wfs stolen from British territory and the thralls are African subjects of King George. Save in rare cases in serving the labor market of Pacific islands the slave trade no longer ventures on the high seas, where it was made piracy j four generations ago. Still slavery sjirvives on the Dark Continent, except where British law or Portuguese liw, or French law, or Italian law, or Belgian law has banished it as an institution too often substituting forced labor under another name. In Abyssinia it appears at its worst. England and France have agreed not to supply arms and ammunition to slave-raiders. The United States has not bound itself in any way. Technically the shippers of this consignment which has been held up are entitled t<> protection from Washington. Yet our conjecture is that they will produce no international crisis. Tin- delays of diplomacy when j all humanity demands inaction are of-' ten interminable. ? Brooklyn Eagle; [Ind. Dcm.) Switzerland's New President Switzerland has chosen Dr. Robert Haab, a Gonna..
