THIRD CONVENTION.
Plan Is Approved for Unification of
Catholic Young Mems Socie-
ties-Officers Elected.

Richmond, Ind, Aug. 29.-The third
biennial convention of the Atlantic Jur-
isdiction, Young Mems Institute, clos
ed here today with the election of Of
ficers and the discussion of important
business. Officers were elected as fol-
lows: Honorary grand chaplain, Rt.
Rev. Joseph Chartrand, D. D., LII. D.,
Bishop Coadjutor Of Indianapolis;
grand chaplain, Rev. Francis A. Roell,
rector, st. Andrews Church, Rich
.mond; grand president, Thomas b.

dent, Philip M. Canele, Memphis,
Tenn; second vice-president, B. j..

Terre Haute; grand marshal, Frank
Basal, Ashville, Pa; grand directors,
R. P. Burke, Louisville; w. G. Nc
Kinney, Pittsburgh; Leo x. Smith, In
dianapolis.
Perhaps the most important action
taken by the convention was it's ap-
prevail of the plan for the unification
of all Catholic young mems societies.
This plan has been under considera-
tion for a number of years, and its ap-
prevail by the Y. M. l., which is one of
the largest of all the society of Cath
Ollie young men, will no doubt result
in definite steps being taken. The
convention also expressed itself as be-
ing heartily. in favor of the erection
of council buildings, and this will also
have weight in bringing the various
societies together. The Y. M. I.
pledged it's support to the welfare
work being done in behalf of Catholic
soldiers at the various camps. A new
feature adopted provides for the ap-
pointment of state deputies.
The convention opened last Monday
with 200 delegates, representing fif-
teen states in attendance. Solemn
High Mass was celebrated by the Rev.
Maurice O'Connor, of Indianapolis,
chaplain of the organization. Father
O'Connor also delivered the sermon.
During the week social features al
ternated with the business sessions,

entertainment for the visitors.
