Quoted the impressive ceremony of today
The institution of the holy year was in
au8urated by Pope Boniface VIII, on
Feb Y, 1900, and was suggested by an old
Jewish festival. In olden times the He
brews solemnly celebrated every fiftieth
year by forbidding the earth to be work
ed, by gathering its products with ap-
propriate religious ceremonies, and by the
freeing of slaves. This festival was called
'Jobal, which means remission. and II
was from this ancient custom that this
great religious anniversary of the church
was derived.
HISTORY OF JUBILEE.
AT first 1t was the intent of the church
ito celebrate this event once in each hun
dred years, but Clement VI. abridged the
time to fifty years and proclaimed the
second pubilee in 1850 This one was also
the occasion OF extraordinary assem-
blages and on Easter of that year there
were no less than 100000 pilgrims in
Rome.
The interval between jubilees was again
curtailed by Urban VI, and in 1470 Paul
II. ordered that IN the future there should
be an observance of each twenty-ffth
year Since that time this has been the
recognized period, but during the past 100
years there has been but one celebration
OF the event, owing 70 political compIica-
tfons and other circumstances It had
been the intention of Pope Plus VI. to
proclaim jubilee for the year 1900. but in
February, 1888. he was taken prisoner by
the French army, and six months later
he died at Valence.
Pope Plus VII. who succeeded him as
pontiff, intended to carry out these inten-
tions, but circumstances made it impossi-
hle Thus it happened that the next jubi-
lee was on May 27, 1924, ard Leo XIII
has been the first pontif since Leo XII
to promulgate the solemn event. In 1919
Rome was in the hands OF Garibaldi
Mazzini and other revolutionary patriots
while Pope Plus TX was an exile in
Gaeta. A quarter of century later the
Pope still regarded himself as a prisoner
in the Vatican, and while he promulgated
the holy year and issued his encyclicaI he
remained in his palace and the holy door
was not opened. In spite of this fact

The HOLY DOOR OPEN
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY AT THE
VATICAN CONDUCTED BY THE
POPE IN PERSON
SHOWED SIGNS OF FATIGUE

ROME. Dee. A.-The pope solemnly IN
augurated the holy year by pei e1formfng
the impressive ceremony of opening the
holy door of st Peters cathedral at II
O'Clock this morning The ceremony was
performed in the vestibule which was
handsomely decorated, in the presence of
the papal officers, the members of the
diplomatic corps, leading representatives
of the Roman nobility and a number of
specially invited guests.
In the vestibule the papal throne had
been erected. The supreme ponin as
cended the throne, which was Immediate
ly surrounded by cardinals and digni-
taries
Suddenly a heavy bell boomed. The
pope rose and walked toward the holy
door. Cardinal Mgr Serafino VAN
nutell, prefect of the congregation Of
bishops, met him and handed him a
golden mallet, given by the Italian bish-
ops. Leo, wearing the mitre, uttered the
verses of the liturgy and struck three
blows with the hammer on the door,
which had previously been cut with a
saw.
SOLEMN SILENCE.
4 few moments of solemn silence fol-
lowed, the pope and the papai dignitaries
in their state robes being grouped before
the door. Then the latter swung back,
and the officials of st. Peters laved the
threshold and door posts with holy water,
while Leo opened the psalm "Jubilate
Deo" which was taken UP by the pontif-
ical choir.
The pope, having again covered his head
and holding in his right hand crucifx
and in his left lighted candle, knelt at
the threshold amid the strains Of the 'Te
Doum" Rising to his feet, he stepped
alone within the portals of the vast and

WASHINGTON, Dec. M.-Admiral Wat

results Of the court Of inquiry into the
causes Of the wreck of the United Sta

off the north coast OF Luzon some time

press dispatches, and relieves the officers
of the ship from responsibility for the dis
aster.
The findings Of the court will render un-

BILL" Col. w, F. Cody, passed through
Omaha today en- route to Washington TO
urge the Indian commissioner to resclnd
his recent order prohibiting Indians from
leaving the reservations to travel with
shows. Col. Cody eombats the argument
used by the commissioner that the In
dians are demoralized by being out on
the road with shows He says the ex-
periences they meet with in their travel
better fit them to adopt the mannears and
customs of the white man than does life
on the reservation. he claims that the red
skins are benefited rather than injured

which portray life Oh the psains.

the entrance of the main shaft towards
the air shaft, $50 yards away. Everything
was filled with after-damp and smoke
Jones came out in few minutes, and /
dragged him to the bottom Of the main
shaft, where there was little air. The
explosion must have occurred within two
or three hundred feet from the main
shaft. He says the mine was well sup
piled with air.
1T was AWFUL added the fire boss
''The men were trapped there like rats
and there is no hope that a single man is
alive. The two shafts were both disabled
and there was no other exit have never
seen a more terrific mine explosion Stone
stoppings two feet thick and cemented
together were utterly destroyed. Not
even particles cf rock remained. The
stone was blown into dust"
SENSATIONAL STORY.
William Pastorious, driver in the
NINE tells a sensational story. Pastorious
who has lived in Brownsville for many
years and is regarded as man of in
telligence, says that Pit Boss Jones' ON
last Tuesday morning, issued a general
order that all safety lamps might be dis
pensed with, and in their stead the MIN
ers were permitted to use naked lights.
Pastorious alsu states that the lamps
were unlocked, contrary to regulations
THE miners always prefer to use naked
lights" said Pastorious, whenever pos
s1ble, as they give better light and are
more easily handled. L have been work
ing here a couple of months and used
safety lamp until last Tuesday morn
ing. AT that time mine safeties were In
use by drivers and others who were con.
stantly moving about the mine and Tins
exposed to greater risk than a digger in
a room. Contrary to the mining regula-
tons, the safety lamps in use were in
many cases unlocked. The safeties were
provided by the company as usual, and
they should be locked so that it is impos-
sible for a miner to open them while at
work. My lamp was unlocked, and I
frequently opened and closed it. On Tues
day the pit boss issued an order that the
men could use open lamps, and they, or
course, discarded the safeties which
made a poorer light. About 100 yards
from the bottom of the main shaft there
was fall which had been boarded up,
and in which the gas stood against the
