Fifty-six in Class at
Catholic University

Fifty-six young men today hold d.
plomas, presented to them by Mgr.
Diomede Falconio, apostolic delegate,
as evidence that they have completed
their courses in the Catholic University.
Graduating exercises were held yester-
day in the auditorium Of Mcmahon Hall
after the class had marched from Cald-
we'll Hall.
Monsignor Falconio, before presenting
each graduate with his diploma, spoke
to the class On :he possibilities Of the
university.
The Rev. Thomas ]. Shahan In his
address laid particular stress upon the
work the university is doing in the
broadening Of education both in and
outside the school. He spoke OF the
numerous contributions to literature
made by members Of the faculty during
the last year. Especially did he COM
ment upon the works Of DR.. Vaschalde,
Or Turner, DIR. Kirby, and Prof. Rob-
inson. As evidence Of the wide recok-
milton and attention gained by the lee
lures delivered, the Rev. Father Shahan
called attention to the address made by
DR.. Fox on socialism, and cited the
lectures on education and pedagogy by
Drs. Shields and Pace.
Attention was called to the material
growth shown by the erection of the
Gibbons Memorial Hall, the construc-
ton of large power plant, and the
increase in the library to 0,OOO volumes.

carrying out of the present sentence.

any trouble. They seemed congenial
and happy. 1t was about two years
ago that they moved away, and since
then we have only heard from them
once. That was when Matte came to
see my wife one day last fall. She said
she and her husband had separated, be-
cause he had abused her and she
couldn't stand 1t.
In the four years that they lived
next to US we never knew her to do
an improper, unkind, or violent act.
She was far above the average of her
race in intelligence, and she wanted to
learn and improve herself. She worked
or nursemaid, and attended school at
night. We know that she was honest
and that she never drank. She never
paid any attention to other men or
wasted any time in any sort of nom
sense. She was a serious-minded. trust
worthy darky. She kept her home neat
and clean and was good worker and
cook. So far as we know, she never
showed any evidence of having vio-
lent temper, and she certainly was not
vicious, cruel, or depraved in any re-
spect."
Mr.. Lobestack, who was present, in
dorsed the statement of Mr.. Billings.
He said:
tie was a good darky. ] am sure there
must have been extenuating circum-
stances connected with the killing OF her
husband. Like Mr.. Billings, am ready
to do all I can to save her from the
gallows."

cannot be that our suffragette friends

that they hesitate to assume those

Hanging Is Murder.
, Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Acting in accordance with your sug-
gestion In The Times of Sunday, with
relation to your editorial published
on the previous Thursday. concerning
the sentence Of Matte Lomax, I beg
to say that capital punishment is a
crime against any person. as much SO
as any of the acts listed in a criminal
lexicon. 1t is purely and simply MUIR
der.
Capital punishment is murder by the
state of one Of its members and the
state is Culpable II II permits capital
punishment. / can only say, there
fore. that If Matte Lomax is hanged
in the District Jail despite the pro-
test in which I heartily concur. the
blame can only be placed upon those
who have the power to commute the
sentence and do not exercise IT.
