Men Inmates Of the Reform School.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In connection with the escape of several
large boys from the reform school. l beg
to call attention to the mistake of allowing
men in the boys reformatory. l conduct
ed the service at the reform school last
Sunday at 3 pm. When talking to the
boys ! spoke Of ages, and inquired how old
the largest boys were. learned then that
some of the inmates of the school were
more than twenty-one years old l ex-
pressed surprise and said to the superin-
tendent Mr.. Portner, that it was a great
mistake, as 1t destroyed the discipline. It
Is not possible to deal with men and boys
by the same methods. The superintendent
fully agreed with me in this respect. The
reform school is based on the desire to
keep the boys from being confined with
older persons in the jail. 1t is a perversion
of the original intention to compel the
school to carry any of its members beyond
the age of eighteen years. l am Informed
that the undesira Bile condition results from
definte-term commitments from outside the
District of Columbia, which carry boys five
and six years beyond the time when they
enter the school. You will notice that the
recent escape is confined to the older boys.
The board should secure legislation that
will cure this anomaly.

DIOCESAN CONVENTION
SUBJECTS CONSIDERED AT ITS
FINAL SESSION.
The Correction Of History Resolution
Was Adopted - Many Com
mittees Appointed.

Catholicism as the dominant note in the
early history of Maryland and the placing
OF a bathtub in the residence of Bishop Sat
terlee for the use of the Archbishop of Can
terbury during the visit of the primate to
Washington recently were the principal
topics at the final session of the conven-
ton of the Episcopal diocese of Washing
ton, held at the Church of the Ascension,
Massachusetts, avenue and 18th street, yes
terday afternoon.
A resolution had been introduced the day
before by Rev. c. Ernest Smith, rector of
st. Thomas Church, to the effect that the
teachings in the public schools of Maryland
and the District Of Columbia that the Cath
Ollie Church settled the colony of Maryland
and there introduced religious liberation
were not in accord with the truth of the
matter. An investigation by committee
was asked for in the resolution in order that
the facts might be learned and the text
books of the schools corrected in accord
ance Herewith. The subject did not come
up for action until late in the afternoon.
when the resolution was adopted with but
little opposition The committee will be
named by DR.. Mckim, chairman Of the con-
vention, and will begin its work without
delay. I
AS has been already stated in The Star,
Mr.. Smith disputes most emphatically the
generally understood point that religious
federation was established by the Catholics
in Maryland. He says that this could not
have been true, for the reason that the
Catholics were in the minority and that
the liberation act Of 1919 was passed during
the protectorate of Oliver Cromwell and by
an assembly Of Protestants. 1t was for
the purpose of saving the Catholics Of the
colonies from persecution that the act was
made law, he insists. and at time when
1t was a felony to celebrate mass in Eng
land. Catholics were forbidden to enter
Maryland and were in many ways perse-
cuted. The liberation act removed this and
they were afterward treated in a more
brotherly spirit. The report Of the COM
mittee will be made to the next annual con-
vention.
The Bathtub Controversy.
500 bathtuo which was Installed in the
residence Of the bishop of Washington for
the Archbishop Of Canterbury caused some
discussion because of the manner In which
funds had been appropriated for it. The
money was paid from the endowment fund
by the board Of trustees, a method which
was criticised by w. H. Singleton, treas
tirer OF the diocese, who said that 1t should
have been paid first to the treasury and
then out OF the net income. L. J.-Davis,
treasurer of the board Of trustees. opposed
this and said that he felt that the payment
was correctly made. Finally the convention
voted to ratify the action of the trustees in
the matter.
An appropriation Of $1,000 was made for

An Explanation.
When seen by reporter of The Star this
morning the bishops secretary, Mr.. War
ner said: THE statement in a morning
paper that a bath tub costing 500 was
placed in the bishops house is preposterous
The bishop, nor the gentlemen composing
the board of endowment fund trustees
would never think of wasting money in such
a way. The 500 was used In putting up an
addition to the bishops house, which con-
sisted of private study for the bishop
and over this bath room, in which very
inexpensive bath tub was placed. The adj
dition was a betterment to the property.
Mr.. Singleton agreed to this. The whole
discussion arose over the point as to what
the words net income really meant, and
the action of the convention ratified the ex-
penditure as perfectly proper. great deal
of unpleasantness has been caused over a
matter which was incorrectly reported.

INCREASE SHOWN
is REMARKABLE
IMMIGRANTS FROM RUSSIA AND
AUSTRO-HUNGARY POURED
INTO THIS COUNTRY DURING
MONTH OF DECEMBER.

Washington, January 2S.-An immense,
almost startling increase in immigration
is shown by the figures for the month
of December which have been compiled
by Commissioner of migration Sargent.
The increase In the number of immigrants
from both Russia and Austria-H Hungary
is particularly noteworthy. In December.
1902 the number of immigrants arriving
from Russia was 10.1S4; in December, 1903,
10431. and in December, 1904. 1892. Com
pared with December, 1902 the last month
shows an increase of 81 per cent in inn
migration from Russia. The immigration
from Austria-Hungary in December shows
an increase of 1878 over that of Decem-
Der, 1903. aggregating g. 4sS. From the
whole of Europe the immigration last
December was $685. an increase of 1853
over December year ago.
The figures for last December are re-
garded by immigration officials as re-
markable. as usually immigration during
December, January and February is COM
paratively light.
