Good Evening.
BRIGHT START WOULD I.wERE sTEADFAsT
 AS THOU ART

Bright star would were steadfast as thou art Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night, And watching with eternal lids apart, Like Natures patient sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure abution round earth's human shores Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors-- No--yet still steadfast, still unchangeabe, Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast, To feel for ever its sweet fall and swell, Awake for ever in sweet unrest,
 Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever-or else swoon to death.

grounds for the District, who died
Thursday at his Summer home in
Chester, Nova Scotia, were held today
IN st. Augustine's Church in Chester.
He was buried according to his wish
in little cemetery overlooking the
Atlantic.
Gen. Bingham had served as mill
tary attache in Berlin and Rome from
1890 to 1894 and was a noted engineer,
having been in charge of New York
Harbor during the World War. He was
police commissioner of New York City

prisoners at Lorton, but none except
Cornwel remains of the original 80.
The others have served their terms,
died, have received their paroles, and
"a few have escaped. Cornwell is the
dean.
He says he feels no bitterness, no
resentment against fate or against any
individual. He had debt to pay, he
said, and now feels that it has been
paid. Besides, his family has always
stood by him. He has sister who has
visited him at every opportunity for
IA years. He is going to live with her.
Five times before he applied for pa
role, but the authorities turned him
down. Two years ago he heard the
parole board would grant him his
freedom. This gleam of joy in 81
years darkness caused him to go on
his only prison spree. He was seen to
smoke large cigar. Then he learned
that the rumor was false.
And so, next week, he will begin
what some might consider the recon-
struction of himself as social being.
But in fact, this began years ago. A
reporter yesterday, prodding Cornwell
/ with questions, asked him If he had
never had a chance to escape.
We'll, yes" he said, thousands Of
them"
why didn't you make a break for
freedom?'
He seemed little surprised.
II wanted to get out" he explained,
'but I wanted to do it right. To run
away would not be right"

The Commissioners are charged
with neglecting to provide adequate
facilities for the care of sick colored
residents who are unable to pay for
private disqualification, in letter sent
to the city heads by the Citizens Joint
Conference of Civic, Welfare and Edu-
cational Groups.

Commissioners now find 1t impracti-
cable to approve proposals for build
ing separate institutions for care of
colored residents. The Commissioners
said present finances would not per-
init suggested expansion.
The conference, representing spokes-
men for various colored groups, de-
clared the replies to the suggestion
attributed to the Board of Public We'll

ference sought construction of a sep
arate hospital for colored patients, de-

tions for colored children, three tuber-
culosts clinics for the colored and a
unit at Gallinger Hospital for colored
patients.
