WARNS CATHOLICS
Official Organ of Cardinal O'Conneii
Tells Them it is Sin to Attend
Revival.

Roston. Mass, Dec. 4.-Billy Sun
day had his best week day of Boston S
revival Saturday. In the evening the
tabernacle was crowded and thous-
ands turned away. In the afternoon
there was the best matinee attend
ance vet-about 10000. The trail
hitters for the day numbered l,l33,
of whom 22S were in the afternoon.
The Pilot, the official organ of Car
dinal O'Connell, published warning
to Catholics that they would COM
nit sin by attending the Sunday
revivals. The article said:
at would appear that many people
even Catholics, labor under the, mis-
apprehension that the exercises now
going on in the Huntington Taber-
nacle are not Protestant services.
The fact that picturesque language
is employed there, or grotesque an
tics indulged in, does. not change the
essential character Of these revival
meetings. >
Moreover, the Rev. Mr.! Sunday,
at times, permits himself to utter the
rankest sort of heresy-not to en-
phasize expressions and manners OF
speaking that are little short of
blasphemy. Let there be no mistake
in this matter. Catholic are not al
lowed to take part in these revival
meetings, and, if they do so, they

STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE
Small Boy Has Narrow Escape at
Intersection of King and Lee
Streets.

An automobile operated by c. r.
Clark struck Philip, the little son of
Ernest Finnell, at the intersection of
King and Lee streets this morning.
The child it is alleged, not seeing the
auto, ran in front of it and was
knocked down by the fender, and sew
eral of his teeth were loosened, Blood
flowed freely from his mouth, caus-
ing people who were attracted to the
scene to suppose he had been injured
seriously, as the boy was crying pit
eously.
When the little fellow ran in front
of the machine it was impossible for
Clark to prevent striking him, but,
with presence of mind, he suddenly
swerved the auto, causing the wheels
to pass harmlessly by the boy and not
over him. The latter was picked up
and carried to the Alexandria Hos
pital where it was found his injuries
were not serious.

STUDENT KANE IMPROVING
His Mother and Other Relatives Here
From Massachusetts.

John Stephen Kane, the young
Georgetown University student who
was shot through his right lung by
Policeman John Kerns in this city
about one o'clock Friday morning.
continues to improve. In answer to
inquiries made as to his condition
at the Alexandria city hospital this
afternoon it was said that Mr.. Kare
passed a very comfortable night. No
attempt has been made to remove
the bullet and it is thought that
none will be for the present, at
least.
The young man was much cheered
bv the arrival of his mother, Mrs.
Anne Kane, of Adams, Mass, Sat
urdav afternoon, who was permit
ted to see him Immediately upon
reaching the hospital. She was &C
companied by her sister, Mrs. James
Cosgrave, and niece, Miss Mar
caret Paupabe, and will remain here
until the result of the young mans
injuries are determined.
Mrs. Kane spent the greater por-
tion of the day at the bedside OF her
son yesterday.
Among other callers were Repre-
sentative Treadway of Massachu-
sets in which state the young mans
home is located.
The physicians express the opinion
that his chances for recovery are
very good, providing pneumonia
does not interfere In fact it is re-
ported that the hope is entertained
that he may possibly be removed 10
Washington within the next two
weeks.
Quite a large number of the stu
dents from the University at George
town have been over to make IN
ouiries regarding his condition and
to learn all particulars possible con-
cerning the unfortunate affair.
The rumor that young Kane has
not been given the care and atten-
ton he should have received is alb,
solutely false. Immediately after he
was shot. Mr.. Kenneth Ogden, who
chanced to be passing the scene tr
his automobile, took Kane to the
hospital in his machine, and Drs
Powell and Moore were called to at
tend him at once. Every effort mas
been made since that time to render
| every aid possible. The authorities
feel that the facts should be made
| known, in justice to all concerned

CONGRESS REC0NVENES
Several Important Measures Will be
Considered During the Next Three
Months Session

Washington, Dec. 4.-The Sixty
Fourth Congress reconvened at moor
today for its second session whlcf
will end with the life of the present
Congress on March 4, The admins
tration, although assured of control
for -four years more in all branches,
excepting possibly the House of Re-
representatives., has an ambitious legis-
lative program all of which cannot
be crowded into the next three mon; IS
Where the minlstratlon IS to draw
the line on general legislation has
not been determined. Party confer
ences will outline the program to be
attempted in addition to the appro-
priation bills which must be passed
to meet expenditures of government
for the fiscal year 1917-1918.
President Wilson has secured the
cooperation of Speaker Clark and
Majority Leader Kitchin in a plan to
expedite consideration of the rail
road subjects. On this point, the
labor element plans to stir up the
lions by fighting the proposal for
investigation of labor troubles, with
an automatic stop to strikes pending
such inquiry.
At the best, it probably will be late
in the session before these measures
can come up, for routine business will
be long in the works.
Estimates for over a billion went
in today.
TO expedite matters, Congress will
work through the Christmas holidays
unless majority should rebel.

Congregations in State Will Be
Asked to Wipe Out Debt of $4,000
of !Anti-Saloon League

Many of those who have benefited
because of prohibition-whose bust
nesses have improved in cash sales
and collections, and whose homes
have been made more happy and
prosperous-are to be given an op'
portuni:.y in churches throughout the
State on Sunday, December 10, to
show their gratitude by giving of
their increased prosperity a small
part toward wiping out the remain
der of the debt incurred by the Anti
Saloon League in its campaign of
1914 The balance yet to be paid by
the Anti-Saloon League amounts TO
$4,000, and this league hopes to
clear away through the contri-
buttons received direct at its head
quarters and through the services of
the second Sunday in December.
A number of persons are mailing
small contributions to the league.
One was received at headquarters in
Richmond yesterday from woman
whose husband was drinker. Her
gift was S5. Other small gifts have
been received from grateful women
whose homes were happier last
month than in years, because of the
absence of the saloon.
In Petersburg one of the largest
manufacturing institutions reports
that on the first pay day after No
vember l, the first day of the dry

time because of drinking by its em-
ployes.

State have done much larger cash

MANY of which were regarded as bad,
are reported as greatly improved. A
large percentage-in some cases as
large as 80 per cent-of the bad ac-

able to spend their money in the sa-
roons, the men had it to pay their
bills.

Talman and Architect Nathan G.
Wyeth have been approved with sew
eral notifications and it is believed
the general form Of the new struc-
; ture is settled. 1t is expected bids
for contracts will be called for at
, the beginning of the new year so
that contracts may be all ready to
push the work by the time ice is gone

ready for use by 1919, but much will
depend on supply of labor and ma
terial.
1t is settled that the bridge will
have two decks. The upper will be
60 foot roadway for motor vehicles
wagons, etc, with 10 foot sdewalks
on each side The safety refugees ana
observation spaces are omitted. lV
will be supported by Doric Columns

a double car track with sidewalks on
each side. There will be at the
Georgetown end land arches, one
over Water street and one over the
canal.

electric roads will come in with only
a small up grade, the Old Dominion

lar parking between them Will not
receive the treatment proposed. Inc
Commission have asked Architect
WYATT to take this under consIdera-
tion again and offer such modltlca-
tion as will meet the Commissioners
views.
The five arches upon which the
bridpe will rest will be 20S feet for
the center, instead of 244 as stated
previously, 204 for the next arches
one on each side and l86 feet for eacn
of the third arches.
