A CONFIRMED
 AT ST. MARKS
Suilraean Bishop E. C. Acheson
 Conducts Exercises

A class of A boys, girls and adults were confirmed at St. Marks Epis- copal church yesterday morning by
 ~'" "ishoO F., C. Achcson. Fol lowing the confirmation exercises
 Acneson delivered an inspir- ing and instructive talk, the basis of which was Witnesses.
 In his sermon the bishop stated that it was a most beautiful thing to be surrounded by so many witnesses as the members of the confirmation class were yesterday. The choir the congregational and the officiating clergy were the witnesses 10 the exer- cises, he said and told the class that nothing should be done unless there arc witnesses to the event. Tn the case of those being confirmed, he said that they may perhaps go out and the next day or week do something which they had ought not to do.
 In this case, the bishop stated someone who was a witness at the confirmation exercises may come up tC the person doing the wrong thing and say You were confirmed yesterday or Sunday; do you think this is the right thing for you to do?" The per son may say How do you know was confirmed?" and the reply he would hear q was at church and saw you" "Thusly do we have the value of witnesses" he added.
 Parental Love
 Bishop Acheson struck a responsive cord in the lives of those present when he spoke on parental love. Tn many cases" he said the boys and girls have reached the age of discretion usually have one or more serious problem confronting them and instead of con- sulting with their mother or father will call on some one whom they think to be a dear friend.
 "But where," Bishop Acheson stated "are there eyes more beautiful and loving than those of a mother and where is there soul more true to a family than that of father. Let me tell you dear children if you have any troubles, don't go to stranger whom you think is your friend but go to your mother and father or perhaps some are not fortunate to have their parents In this case you perhaps have a loving grandmother grand father or an aunt and uncle.'
 Go to them by all means" he added.

Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Today.

CHICAGO. May 10.-Habeas corpus
proceedings VIII be instituted today
by attorneys for tS:S Chicago Building
Trades Council in an effort to. have
the six women held in the county Jail
on contempt of court sentence re-
leased. Pardons issued by Gov. Small
have failed to obtain the women's re-
lease because of legal technicalities
disclosed by John j. Healey, attorney.
Mr.. Healey denied the right of Gov.
Small to pardon the women. claiming
that cases of civil contempt do not
come under the jurisdiction of the
chief executive of the state.
The action of the building trades
council came after unsuccessful at
tempts of Fred Nader. president, to
obtain their release. In refusing Mr.
Mader's appeal. Judge Denis E. Sulli-
van, nettled over the insistence that
the women be freed for humanitarian n
reasons, declared that the women
were law breakers and deserved the
sentences. which range from fifteen
to sixty days in Jail.
The women were jailed as result
of picketing at the American Cigar
Company. during strike there three
years ago. after restraining injunc-
tion had been issued. At the time
they were all single, but since have
been married.

This is no doubt a very natural

House until just before the last day
had expired before the election.
Even this day passed in some
towns without action, so that the
voters were confronted by a blank
ballot for town representative and
had TO write in" the name of their
choice. Under such conditions, It is
hardly remarkable that men come to
Montpelier at each biennial session
not only unprepared and untitled for
their duties but actually ignorant Of
