WITH SOLEMN AND IMPRES-
SIVE CEREMONIES
CROSS MARKS RESTING PLACE
Great Crowds Kneel in Prayer Outside
St. Peter's Church During Solemn
Rights; Body is Placed in Crypt
Under Basilica Floor
Romp.—Beneath the flagstones ol
St. Peter’s where thousands nf pilgrims
come each year, lies the mortal re
mains of Benedict XV, whose efforts
throughout the war were directed to
ward peace and after the war to the
pacification of Europe and the world.
The burial ceremony took place at
3 p. in. Thursday and in the light of
the perpetually burning tapers the
body was lowered into Its tomb. Those
cardinals who had gathered here for
the conclave which is to elect a new
pope, assembled in the basicila of St.
Peter’s, together witli the diplomatic
representatives of the foreign nations
accredited to the Holy See. Outside
the edifice great crowds knelt in
prayer and waited for the end of the
solemn ceremonial.
The strains of the “Miserere” swell
ing through the vast basilica, the mar
tial step and clang of swords of the
pontifldal armed forces, the flowing
robes of prelates, rich violet, blending
with the striking costumes of the Swiss
guards, the gendarmerie and the noble
guards and contrasting with the simple
black of the diplomatic corps, com
bined to give a picturesque impressive
ness to the high pontifical rite of
burial.
As the solemn ceremony of absolu
tion took place and the choir sang the
anthem “Ingrediar.” followed by “Slcut
Cervas." While the last anthem was
being sung, the body was deposited in
the cypress coffin and the major domo
of the Vatican. Monsignor Sana De
Samper, covered the face of the pope
with a veil of white silk and placed in
the coffin the medals struck during
the pontificate of Benedict and purses
of coins, in accordance with custom.
Cardinal Cagliero covered the body
with a large red cover, placed at the
foot a brass cylinder on which was
inscribed a history of the life and pon
tificate of the late pope.
Finally, absolution was given, the
coffin was sealed with ribbons of violet
silk and the cover was screwed down.
The burial act was then read and
formal transfer of the body made by
the sacred'college to the chapter of
the basilica, this being duly registered.
The coffin was then sealed with the
pope’s seal. The cypress coffin in
which the body rested was placed In a
lead casket, the ends of which were
Immediately soldered and both were
deposited in a hardwood casket, upon
which the same seals were affixed us
on the first. This was surmounted by
a wooden cross, also by the pope’s coat
of arms, with tiara and the brief Latin
Inscription: “The Body of Benedict
the Fifteenth. Supreme Pontiff, Who
Lived Sixty-Seven Years, Occupied the
Throne of St. Peter Seven Years and
Died Jan. 22. 1922.”
After the ceremony In the chapel of
the choir, the procession re-formed and
proceeded to a pevition before the high
pontifical a.'tar immediately under the
spacious dome. The cardinals followed
In the procession and took places along
ihe rail leading to the crypt. The body,
now encased in its casket, was carried
to a platform constructed for lowering
into a crypt. Chains were adjusted
and the casket was slowly swung into
the tomb, without further ceremony.
As finally placed, Benedict’s body
lies alongside of that of Pius X just
before the statue of Queen Christina
i»f Sweden.

THEATER COLLAPSES,
MAIiy_IRE_.INJUREO
Roof of Washington Picture
House Caves in, Pinning
Scores Under Wreckage.
Washington.—One hundred seven
persons were killed and scores Injured
Saturday in the collapse under the
weight of iwo feet of snow on the
roof of tbe Knickerbocker theater, a
motion picture house, located In the
heart of Washington's fashionable
northwest district.

steel of ihe roof was almost Immovable
and unpenetrable the street railway
companies and the Washington navy
yard was called upon to supply acety
lene torches. With these rapid prog
ress was made and it was hoped that
within a few hours it might-be possible
to reach those buried beneath the deb
ris.
Among the injured was representa
tive Smithwivk of Florida, who was
painfully cut about the head and chest
but not seriously hurt. Another of
those injured was Nobile Tomasso As
serto. third secretary of the Italian
embassy.
The management of the theater,
which was owned and operated by the
Harry M. Crandall company, declared
that the building only recently had
been inspected and approved and that
the collapse of the roof only could have
been caused by the tremendous weight
Imposed by the heaviest snowfall that
has visited here since 1899. The roof
fell with such force as to drive three
concrete pillars through the orchestra
floor. Up near the stage, however, its
force was arrested so that the platform
acted ns a buffer. For this reason. It
was said, several of the musicians es
caped.
As a consequence every theater In
the city, including both motion picture
houses and play houses was ordered
closed, not to open until building in
spectors have certified that there is
no danger of their snow-laden roofs
collapsing.
