NOTED CONGREGATIONAL THEOLOGIAN TO SUPPORT
 DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES
Many Adults In
 Confirmation Class
Bishop Murray Officiates in St. Mary's Church Where
 He Was Once a Curate.

Considerable comment has been aroused in local Catholic circles dur ing the week because of two notable facts which were observed last Sun day when the sacrament of confir- nation was conferred lon four hun dred and forty persons at St. Mary's church, of which Rev. M. J. Traynor is pastor. One of these was the large number confirmed, the total being far in excess of what would have for a much larger parish than St. Mary's. The other was the unusually heavy percentage of adults confirmed.
 It is customary to confirm in the faith children of Catholic families as soon as they are deemed able to ap- preciate the s;"n;ficance of the cere- mony for which they are prepared py a careful course of instruction. This is usually soon after they receive their first communion. Confirmation, however, is never administered by one of lesser dignity than that of Bishop and a Bishops visits to each individual parish are necessary limit ed in frequency. Because of this and the natural tendency to postpone im- portant steps, a small percentage tn every parish rass through the pe~!od of adolescence without receiving this sacrament. Adults of this class were represented by about the normal number in St. Mary's on Sunday, but in addition to this negligible number d ldTSe DOuy OI COINeEtS WHo lloNS embraced the Catholic faith and pass ed through a course of instruction also presented themselves. Fully one hundred of those confirmed were adults and of these nearly all were converts.
 An interesting commentary on the shifts of racial elements in the section of East Bridgeport in which St. Mary s parish is located was the fact that nearly one hundred and fifty of those confirmed were of Italian birth or de- scent
 The prefects of the Holy Name So- ciety acted as sponsors for the adults and most of the children. The Ita1- ians a rule, however, preferred in dividual sponsors for each child and as a result there were over hundred sponsors for the Italian children.
 Rt. Rev. John G. Murray, Bishop of Hartford, oTficiated. The Bishops exhortation was very brief as he de- sired to permit all present to witness the Holy Name parade which follow cd. After reminding the congregation that nineteen years before he had the parish and knew as children many of the parents of those who presented themselves for confirmation, he con graduated the priests and people of the parish on the giant strides they had made spiritually and materially during inc intervening period. He inn pressed upon all confirmed the nature and gravity of the duties and obliga- tions they had assumed and urged them to shape their lives accordingly. All the children confirmed pledged ing liquors while under the age of twpntV-flCE

BUSINESS MAN
 FOR CONGRESS
Democratic Nominee in 4th District Is a 'Live
 Wire.''
Self Made Man Who Begun Life At the Ladders Lowest Rung and Has Steadily Ascended-His Views and Outlook.

Strictly business sums up the personality of Harry J. Platt of Trumbull, Democratic nominee for Congress in the Fourth Congressional district of Connecticut. There is noth
 ing frivolous or pretentious about this enterprising, c1ean-cut, plain spoken young man who for the first time in an eventful life of 39 years finds himself thrust, without any so- licitation on his part, into the lime light of contest for public office. Some men might have been dazzled, others puffed up under such a test.

"That is true. And there may
have been robbery Of some val
uables that we do not know of.
But do you think, Judge Hoyt,
that the Camorra is such a des-
perate menace7 Are not fears
of it exaggerated and unbound
ed?"
"There is a great deal If the
real thing, Mr.. Berg. When you
consider that there are 1,50O,OOO
Italians in America and 100000
of them are in New York City,
it is not surprising that many OF
their secret societies are repre-
sented here. Therefore, it seems
to me, that circumstances point
to a crime Of this sort, whether
for robbery or whether at the
hire of some superior criminal
cit is certainly possible that
if Mr.. Trowbridge was desired
dead by some enemy IN MS own
rank Of life, the actual deed
might have been comIlGitted by a
hired crook, whether of an Ital-
ian society or of a New York
gang. And the fact Of the in
formation first coming from an
Italian woman, gives FEASIBILITY
to the foreign theory"
1T may be, and if so, it may
prove a very difficult matter to
discover the truth"
"You are right, Judge, and so
far we have but the slightest
shreds of evidence to work on.
The articles found in the peck
cts Of Mr.. Trowbridge give abb
solutely no clues toward detec-
ton"
At this, Pinckney pricked up
his ears. Surely there must be
a hint here, if one were but
bright enough to see it.

All the others present, as well
as the young reporter, looked
on with eager interest at the con
tents of the pockets were ex-

There were a great many arti-
cles, but all were just what might
be looked for in the pockets Of a
well-to-do business man.
Several letters, cards, memoir
anda and kilograms. The usual
knife, bunch Of keys, pencil,
watch and money. Also a small
pair of folding scissors and a
couple of handkerchiefs.
In a gold locket was a portrait
of Mrs. Black, but there was no
other jewelry.
perhaps some jewelry was
taken,' suggested a juryman,
but both Avice and Mrs. Black
were sure that Mr.. Trowbridge
had on none.
He was wearing a bow tie, and
a soft shirt with its own buttons.
the report informed them, so
there was no occasion for studs
or pin.
The letters were read, as of
possible interest. There we're
two or three bills for personal
matters. There was the letter
Judge Hoyt himself had told of
sending to announce his trip to
Philadelphia. There was also a
telegram from the Judge in
Philadelphia saying:
Peddie agrees. Everything O.
K. See you tonight.
Hoyt.
All Of these reused little or no
interest. Judge Hoyt explained
that Peddie was the man with
whom he was making a deal with
a real estate corporation for Mr..
TroWl,ridge, and that the matter
had been successfully put
through to a conclusion.
But next was shown a letter so
old that it was in worn creases
and fairly dropping apart. It
had evidently been carried in the
pocket for years. Gingerly I'M
folding it, Coroner Berg read a
note from Professor Meredith
that was angry, ever vitupera-
tive. The bone Of contention
was the classification Of a certain
kind of beetle land the letter i'm
piled that MI. Trowbridge was

ions and his method Of expressing
them. There was no threat of
any sort, merely a scathing dia-
tribe of less than a page in
length. But it was quite evident
that it had hurt Rowland Trow-
bridge severely, as its date
proved that he had carried it
around for two years.
And there was another old let
ter. This was from Justice Greer
and was a blast on some old po-
htical ~ tier again, a
strong enmity was shown, but
nothing that could be construed
as an intimation Of revenge OF
even retaliation.
