POPE DECLARES YEAR OF PRAYER
WILL DO HUMANITY LOT OF GOOD
Papal Bull Promulgating Holy Year Beginning April
Will Be Issued Tomorrow.

The present bull follows form es-
tablished for hundreds Of years. In IL
the pontiff calls himself, in Latin,
"Episcopus, Servus Servorum Del
bishop, servant of the servants OF
God"
In contrast with the vast majority OF
papal bulls, 1t is readable by the ordl-
nary reader who understands Latin. II
it is written in a clear Roman hand on
sheet Of vellum
Until so years ago the engrossers OF
papal bulls used an archaic, highly
artificial type of Gothic writing, en-
ploying many contraNions and COM
pletely leaving out punctuation. Con-
sequently these documents were equiva-
lent to ciphers for the average reader.
In fact, the bulls were customarily ac-
companied by copy. called trans
Pope Leo XII ended this practice.
The papal bull announcing this holy
year bears stamp as seal. In olden
times these papers carried a heavy lead
seal, later o wax one.
The name bull comes from the
Latin for bubble, because the old
leaden seals resembled bubbles.
Papal bulls are. frequently used for
announcing the creation Of bishop or
archbishop. Many American prelates
have been nominated by this means.
There are several other types Of
papei documents: Constitutions" de-
termining some matter of faith for all
Roman Catholics: "encyciicals," or let
ters to all the bishops to guide them;
"decrees," affecting the general welfare
of the church: "decretals," or replies
to q particular dificulty submitted to
the Vatican.
A special section Of the Vatican
library Is devoted to the preservation
and catalouging OF papal bulls.

the methods Of underwriting and isSu-
ing the bonds.

witnesses, said that $500, ,000,0 900 out OF
the billion dollars worth Of real estate

trict were in default. He said the same
situation existed with respect to half

One of the principal objections voiced
by the six witnesses was that under
writing houses made deceptive" prom

the bonds were sold they continued to
hold control over the properties in
volved even to the point of form
ing interested protective committees
through which they protected their own

FEDERATION GROUP
HITS HOUSING BILL
Committees Against Limited
Dividend Corporations
Proposal.

Three committees Of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, at a joint
meeting last night, decided that the
present is not an opportune time fer
enacting a bill creating limited-div
dend corporations to restore blighted
residential sections of the city.
A bill for that purpose, sponsored by
the Washington Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects, had been
referred to the Committees on City
Planning, Public Health and Law and
Legislation. The report will be made
to the federation at its meeting next
Saturday night.
The bill was variously attacked as
socialistic, paternalistic and dangerous,
and supported as a progressive step in
Kidding the city Of its slums. Maj.
Clayton Emig, chairman of the City
Planning Committee, led the fight in
support of the bill, and George E. Sui
livan, chairman of the Law and Leg
islation Committee, headed the opposi-
tion.
Speculative Building Trend.
Louis Justement, representing the
Architects Institute, said the present
trend Of speculative building is to erect
houses on the outskirts of the city for
those in the higher income groups The
center OF the city is ignored, and its
houses fall into disrepair and are in
habited by tenants of successfully lower
strata; business creeps into old-time
residential sections, and private capital
will not risk the funds necessary for
rehabilitation.
The bill proposes to cure this by Civ
ing the limited dividend corporations
the power to condemn property so that
whole blocks of it RAY be obtained for
the erection Of model housing units at
low rentals. The corporations would
come under the control of a housing
public utilities are controlled by the
Public Utilities Commission
Many Features Attacked.
Many individual features of the bill
were attacked by committee members,
and although Joseph Sanders one Of
them, tried to secure the creation of a
subcommittee for further study so that
these Objectionable features could be
eliminated, Chairman Emig was blocked
in an attempt to appoint the commit
tee. Mr.. Sullivan raised a point of
order against it. This Endg overruled,
but on an appeal from his decision
Sullivan was sustained.
Among the features found objection
able by the members were those pro-
hibiting the corporations from ever SELL
ing the properties acquired; giving the
corporations preferred treatment before
the zcning Commission; paying men,
bers Of the housing board salaries; al
lowing the housing board to collect and
disburse fees with restriction, and al
lowing the housing board TO appoint
experts without regard to the classifi-
cation or civil service acts.

tioneering in the Free State. the con-
sensus of the political camps is that the
margin of victory, whichever way 1t
goes, will be small.
Only rash prophets forecast the re-
suit as the situation is complicated po-
litically and is further complicated by
the system of proportional representa-
ton.
Since last Sundays disturbances
thousands of meetings have been held

orally credited to President Eamon de
Valera's earnest platform appeals for
free speech
the land annuity payments and the
economic war with Britain having been
made the primary issue of the election
by Mr.. de Valera and by former Presi-
dent William T. Cosgrave, opposition
leader, it is expected the vote Of the
farmers will largely determine the char
acter OF the next Free State govern
mnt.
Referring to the land annuities today
IN speech at Galway, Mr. de Valera
said the British base their claim to this
money on a document Mr.. Cosgrave
signed.
