richly dressed or attired. while in

CruCify Illuminated

Suddenly brilliant fioodlights bazed and a hidden beam shone on the huge crucittx above the altar, and then, one by one, the tapers were lighted again, until the vast field was covered Ly bank of light rising to the base of the tow cring Doric columns. The sea of flame was carried beyond the stadium walls. where stood other thousands unable 10 find places in the huge structure.
 This ended the third day of the great Catholic religious ceremony which has brought pilgrims of high and low degree from the ut- termost onds of the earth. all bound by common tie - faith in living Christ. As gathering has succeeded gathering, the pilgrims have swelled the attendance above the million mark, as the pomp and pagcantry Of nineteen centuries have passed in review.
 Most Colorful Service
 Perhaps of all the gatherings of the faithful, last nights service was the most extraordinary.
 A slight fall of rain in the early evening ended in brilliant rain- bow which hung in the southeast crn sky for half an hour before the sun sank from view. The empyrean spectacle archcd the east colonade of the stadium as the procession of cardinals and bishops in scarlet and purple moved into the huge bowl for the Ccremonials.
 The silent moments Of consecra- ton and the singing moments of the "tantum argo sacramentum compar sit laudauo" which pre- coded the priests holding Of the sacrament high before the congre- gation passed in relative darkness. Then, at the sounding Of trum- pcts and of sanctuary bells, the mighty area of the stadium trem- bled into flame.
 The oblation of the fire by the 1 l50.0QO dcvotccs knceling in the stadium proper was carried beyond i the Doric walls and out, far out, upon the terraces and the plaza of the Field museum, which bore 80, GOO more light bringers.
 ] The bowl, the precipitous tiers of seats and the columned porticos of i the stadium, the steps and the l balustrades of the terrace became hillsides and prairies of candle light. The white shafts of food 1 lights shot across stupendous gar

.LEAYITT AND WELD
 STILL DEADLOCKED
Discuss Asst. Building InspH-
 tor But Without Agreeing

Mayor Weld met Chairman Eeavitt of the building commission again today and after a long con- ference they parted without either side giving ground.
 Leavitt and his commission still believe Curtis is not the right man for the job. Weld claims the com mission has only the right to rec ommend deputy while the council must ratify the recommendation to ,make 1t effective. Chairman I.eavitt will ask the corporation counsel for a written opinion regarding this claim.
 The situation which now arises is somewhat similar to that which existed at the time A. \. Ruther- ford was appointed deputy. The common council committee invesd- gating the need for deputy found such s need 10 exist and named Rutherford. The building commis- sion declared the committee had not the right to appoint and after some discussion the building boards claim was upheld with the common council granting that only ths building commission could appoint a deputy. The matter of fixing salary was granted to be exclusive , ly the province Of the common council, however.
