$4,000 File in
Mourning Past
Bishops Bier
BY BASIL GALLAGHER
Times staff Writer

A S the first light of a gray dawn
IN crept across the basilican
dome of the Cathedral. of SIS.
Peter and Paul, a white -surpliced
priest assembled to the pulpit.
He turned his face to the. main
altar in the shadow of which the
body of Bishop Joseph Chartrand
lay in state between six bronze
candlesticks.
Eternal rest grant unto him, o
Lord" cried the priest.
And may perpetual light shine
upon him." came the response of
hundreds of parishioners, kneelings
in the shadow of the great Cathe-
dral.
The priest left the pulpit and
more than 500 of the faithful filed
past the bier in which the beloved
prelate lay calm in death. They
saw his familiar face with eyes
closed forever and the hands
which had been SO busy in apos-
tolic work in Indianapolis for
more than thirty years covered
with the unfamiliar purple gloves
for burial.
The crozier, pastoral staff SYM
bolic of his Office as shepherd of
the flock, lay at rest beside him.
That was at a. m. The crowd
of early morning worshippers-
the remnant of a vast host of
more than $4,000 people who had
come to pay the bishop tribute all
through the night and early
morning-f1led into the shadowy
streets.
7 LIGHTS sprang up throughout
IL the church as altar boys pre-
pared the side affairs for masses,
to be said by visiting dignitaries.
The apostolic delegate, Archbishop
Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, in his
red caSsock, walked past the
bishops bier, knelt in prayer for
a moment, and continued down
the aisle of the church to say
mass at one of the side affairs. A
score of other dignitaries of the
church, in colorful habits, made
their way to other affairs.
Only in Rome could a scene as
symbolic of the colorful pageantry
of the church be seen. And it is
doubtful if even in Rome ever

of people to pay tribute to a
prelate as was seen at the cathe-
dral during the long, nine-hour
vigil of prayer for Bishop Char
trand.
Police estimated that 1000 per-
sons an hour passed the bier, at
the head and foot of which a city
policeman stood at rigid attention.
Literally, the lame, the halt and
the blind came to pay tribute
along with people from all walks
of life and of all denominations
AS the vigil Of prayer started at
8 p. m. last night, a line of peo-
pie walking four abreast extended
from Meridian street around the
corner to Fourteenth street and
east to Pennsylvania street.
Thousands of young couples,
married by the bishop, thousands
of children baptized by him and
hundreds of pretty girls and their
escorts came to pay their respects.
Ard today, as masses began.
thousands of communicates, not
only at the Cathedral, but in
Roman Catholic churches all over
the city, received the Holy
Eucharist in honor of the dead
bishop.
I'VE expect to have more COM
municants today than ever be-

of the cathedral. That will glad
den the Bishops heart"

Mammoth cave and Carlsbad cav
erns, await adventurous explorers
at Pitts cave, three miles northwest
of here.
Situated on the Pitts plantation,
its contrasting natural beauty and
legendary treachery provide awe

winding passages, "bottomless" pits,
phantom-like stalactites and ghostly
vaulted domes add to its mysteries.
Probable unexplored sections of
the cave include a long passage said

river Tales of men, who entered
the long passageway never to re
turn, are told by ]. o. Pitts, grand
son of the late Or. j. r. S. Pitts.
the original owner.
Pitts delights in showing visit
ors through the short route and
relating legends connected with the
cave.
The entrance. on the side OF hill,
resembles somewhat the mouth of
gaping prehistoric monster. A fight
OF steps provided by Mother Nature
guides the visitor into a vestibule

the same height, and extending back

Indian returned but his dog was
lost, according to the story. Re
turning into the cave in search of
the animal. the Indian never was
seen again, but the dog finally
emerged with all the hair gone from
his body. The supposition is that
the dogs hair was removed by some
form of gas, which probably killed
the Indian.

Specialist Says Young
Sows Most Efficient

A young sow is the best SOW, ac-
cording to ]. w. Wuichet, exten-
sion specialist in animal husbandry
for the Ohio State university, who
recites the results OF ten years of
experimental tests with 1,467 brood
sows to prove that after a SOW
reaches three years OF age she rap
idly loses her productive efficiency.
One and two-year-old sows raised
a higher percentage of the pigs
farrowed, in the experiments, than
did the older brood sows. The
younger porcine mothers raised go
per cent OF their pigs to weaving
time, and this percentage dropped
rapidly as the sows grow older, un-
til at six and a half years the av-
erage sow raised only a few more
than a third Of the pigs farrowed.
Sows under four years of age pro-
duced litters averaging 210 pounds
at weaving time. whereas the older
sows produced litters averaging
about 167 pounds.
Wuichet concluded from a study
OF the records that a sow should
not be retained In the herd after
she has farrowed litter as a three
year-old, and that she should be
considerably better than the ordi-
nary producer II she is retained
after farrowing as two-year-old.

Cold Find in Volga Region in
Russia Stirs Up Little Interest

overcrowded Industrial western
Russia.
But there will be no gold rush.
The announcement of the find was
read by the Soviet citizenry most
placidly. 1t reused no dreams of
easy fortunes. Nobody rushed to
stake claims. II was read casually
and forgotten.
To an outsider, accustomed TO
ways of thought in the outside cap
italist world, the popular disinter-
est In dazzling gold discoveries is
sort of symbol of the change that
has been wrought here by fifteen
years of proletarian revolution.
In the Bliava district in the Mid
die yolga region, the gold trust has
completed researches begun several
years ago. That there are some
non-ferrous metals in these parts
was vaguely known. Several small
mines were operated here years
ago, but now stand abandoned. The
gold possibilities were forgotten.
The researches have reminded"
the nation Of this undeyeloped
source of wealth. Moreover, the Of
fetal report estimates that when
fully exploited II will be the richest
gold mine In all Of Russia. not ex-
Guiding the Siberian mines.
The commissiariat of heavy in
dustry believes In the discovery
sufficiently to have assigned $500
600 rubles TO begin the necessary
construction for developing the
mines. The head OF the gold trust,
! Professor Serebrovsk, has been
made personally responsible for
carrying the work through quickly
and effectively.
Meanwhile, pending the installa-
ton of modern machinery, workers
will be enlisted from surrounding
villages TO begin mining operations.
In the far eastern gold fields the
Soviet authorities give the pros
pectors a percentage of their mined
gold In payment, TO encourage tech
nically capable men to migrate to
those inhospitable regions. Here,
on the Volga, such inducements
will not be necessary. Local peas
ants viii work for a daily wage
large enough to provide them with
bread and cabbage, and the whole
gold supply will go into the state
Golfers.
At the same time II was an
nounced that an oil gusher, one of
the largest anywhere in the union,

ters from Baku. 1t is pouring forth
