TWENTY FOUR FEDERAL CONVICTS
ARE ADMINISTERED SACRAMENT

There was never a more impressive
spectacle in the history of the Catholic
church in this city than that which was
enacted at the federal prison Wednes-
day morning at o'clock, when class
of "a prisoners were administered the
sacrament of confirmation.
The names of the men confirmed are
known only to the oficials of the fed
eral prison. Bishop Kelley, Father Gunn'
Father waring, Father Jackson and
Father Morrow, of the federal prison,
through whose ministerial efforts the
men were brought into the church. To the
outside world-the world of freedom and
brightness and sunshine the men are but
numbers!
A large gathering OF devout Catholics.
the majority of whom were women, went
to the federal prison to witness the I'M
pressive ceremony which induced these
civilly doomed men into the faith OF
Catholicism. In addition, every prisoner
was in the chapel.
To the majority Of the prisoners the
real significance Of the ceremony was
lost. They knew, of course, that fell
low-prisoners were about to become
members Of the church, but the various
forms of the Catholic ceremony were as
nought to them. However, there were 2lS
prisoners TO whom the ceremony must
have brought back tender memories OF
youth, when the world looked fair and
their eyes were conferred on the sacred
things of life. For there are just 2l3
Catholic inmates of the federal prison,
many Of whom come from Italy and other
Latin countries.
Bishop Benjamin ]. Kelley. of Savan-
nah, celebrated the mass and admins
tered the sacrament of confirmation. He
preached both in English and Italian
the latter tongue being for the bene-
fit of a number of prisoners who do not
speak or understand English. He was
assisted by Father Warning, of Fort
OgIethorpe; Father Morrow, chaplain of
the federal prison; Father Jackson, OF
St. Anthony's church, and Father Gunn'
of the Church of the Sacred Heart.
The bishops sermon was on the Love
of God and Mans Duty of Obedience
to God First, and to Gods Representa-
tives in Both Church and State"
The sermon in English was under

gro murderer as well as the most edu-
Gated bank wrecker. 1t was simple and
direct. During it's delivery Lupo, the
Wolf. and more than one Italian criml-
nal who do not understand English,
peered eagerly into the eyes of the ven
cradle bishop. vainly seeking TO pene-
trate his meaning. When he changed
to Italian. which he speaks with great
fluency, their forms bent forward. their
ewes lighted up and they drank in
every word Understandings.
The chapel presented an impressive
scene when the prisoners filed in to wit
ness the ceremony The rostrum con-
tanned the altar and candles of Catho-
licism To the left was a piano and a
choir of negro prisoners clad in dark
blue uniforms In front was the prison
orchestra, all of whom were dressed In
white.
During the ceremony more than one
hardened criminal, whose wild spirits
have been broken by long years OF con-
finement, bent their neads while hot

Harvard Observers
Didn't Get Glimpse

BOSTON. May ls.-Officials at Har-
ward observatory did not obtain a single
glimpse of HaHey's comet last night or
early today and were unable definitely TO
state whether the earth had passed
through the tail of. the rapidly-moving
visitor OF the skies. II was admitted
that the bright moonlight may have shut
out the illumination from the comets tail
and some OF the observers say that we
probably had passed through the tail
without IL becoming apparent. The pres
ence of cyanogen gas, they said, could
not be determined until reports were re-
ceived from Harvard's astronomical sta
ton at Arequipa.. sPerbC where especial
attention was 20 be given the gas. p
No effects of the comet were felt on
wireless telegraph instruments in this VI

In an era OF international buying

Britain and Canada enjoyed for the
first half Of the year a marked In
crease over the trade Of the CORE

Here at home the revival has been
demonstrated by increased railroad
earnings. dividends and outlay for Inn
provements. Activities in the steel
trade show that the limit OF develop
