Iu actual scene more than 10 cen
.turies ago.
Wearing a red cassock and red
biretta, the Latin patriarch arrived
ut the vast old Church OF the Holy
5Sepulchre just after sunrise.
Dark since Good Friday in sign
Of mourning, the glow OF scores OF
lamps and candles lighted from new
IRE" struck with stone and steel
flooded the church.
Throngs of worshipers, men and
women of nearly every race and
many Of them from distanct lands,
stood In reverent silence as the pa
triarch blessed the fire Pickering over
the charcoal in a brazen bowl. 1t
signifies the light of Christs mes
sage entering the world.

! The patriarch then donned an er-
mine cloak with a train of red silk.
i To a te deum sung by brown
srobed Franciscan friars and black
acassocked canons OF the holy sepulchre,
1.-THE patriarch led solemn procession
to the tomb reverenced as that in
which the body Of Christ was placed
after the crucinnon on nearby Col
,Eotha.
: A deacon, wearing gorgeous cloth
of gold, blessed the paschal candle
while chanting in Latin, THE angelic
choirs of heaven rejoice
He halted abruptly in the chant
and every lamp and candle in the
church was lighted swiftly from the
new fire as he cried:
The light of Christ"
The worshipers responded as each
new light appeared: Thanks be to
God"
Prophecies Read.
The twelve prophecies were read
by the deacon. The patriarch blessed
-the baptisnlal font. A long litany
scf saints followed.
At the conservation of the mass all
the bells Of the church began to ring.
Flags which had been at half stah
kover consulates and other buildings
throughout the city as a symbol OF
mourning were raised to full staff.
During the afternoon, the Latin
patriarch returned to the sepulchre
to lead a procession three times
around the tomb while the marchers
sang Easter hymns.
The pontihcal mass at the tomb,
before which great silver altar was
erected late today, will be repeated
with the procession on Easter Sunday,

NICE SENT BILL
F0RAVENUE WORK
Measure Designed to Insure
Connecticut Project for
Montgomery.
By = Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, March 27.-Only the
signature of Gov. Harry w. Nice
was needed tonight to place In the
hands OF Montgomery County officials
a means Of financing the widely ad-
vocated improvement Of Connecticut
avenue from Chevy Chase Circle to
Chevy Chase Lake.
The House late this afternoon
passed the bill Of Senator Stedman
Prescott authorizing the county COM
missioners to issue 100000 In bonds
If they desire to carry out the project.
which has been sought for nearly =
decade by residents Of the western
suburban district Of Montgomery.
1t was introduced to assure a means
of doing the work should negotiations
being conducted with the State Roads
Commission fall through or II county
funds are required to supplement
State appropriations.
An emergency clause making the
measure effective on enactment is
attached to the bill and it Is expected
it will be laid before the Governor
when the State Assembly returns to
Annapolis on Monday to resume its
labors.
An urgent appeal made by Curtis
Walker. president Of the Democratic
Club Of Chevy Chase. resulted in q
renewal Of conferences between high
way executives and county oticials
recently. 1t is felt in some quarters
the proposal may finally gain the
States approval.
Similar negotiations have been car
ried on several times within the past
10 years, but have missed flre in
each instance. On one occasion the
p w. A. approved a Federal grant
for the project only to withdraw it
when a controversy arose over owner
ship of the right Of way formerly
used by the Capital Transit Co.'S
electric railway
The difference Of opinion over the
ownership of the center strip in the
avenue has never been settled, but
under the Prescott measure the pro-
ceeds of the bond issu. or any portion
thereof, could be expended to pur-
chase the land II necessary.
The bond money likewise could be
used to pave or repave the avenue
or to acquire any other rights Of way
that might be required to develop the
project.
1t is specified. however. the bonds
must be sold by the commissioners
by next January 1st. The bonds
could be sold at private q public
sale. They could not bear . rate Of
interest in excess Of 8 per cent.

TENNESSEE COURT
BACKS SC|TYP[ANTS
Memphis and Chattanooga
Get Go-Ahead Signa|-T.
V. A. Right Upheld.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March a.
The Tennessee Supreme Court gave
the go-ahead signal today to Men,
phis and Chattanooga in their plans
to construct municipal power plants.
The court overruled objections by
the Memphis Power & Light Co. and
the Tennessee Electric Power Co.,
which serve the respective cities.
The Tennessee Electric Power Co.
contended an act Of the Legislature
authorizing construction OF munic-
ipal plant and distribution system at
Chattanooga and the issuance Of bonds
for that purpose was unconstitutional.
The high court affirmed the decision
Of the chancellor sustaining the valid
ity OF the law.
Memphis, which has q contract
with the Tennessee Valley Authority
to purchase electric power for 20
years, is about to enter into Z con-
tract with the Public Works Admins
tration for the purchase Of $4,000, 900
Of its bonds with which to erect an
electric plant.
The Memphis Power & Light Co.
sought to enjoin the city from pro-
ceeding with the contracts on the
ground they were in violation OF GER
tain provisions Of the State and Fed
eral Constitutions.
The court ruled:
q ''That T. Y. A. and P. W. A. have
authority to make such contracts IS
are here involved"
THAT the Legislature Of Tennessee
has expressly authorized the city Of
Memphis to enter into these agree
ments."
THAT neither contract is violative
Of any constitutional provision"
complainant, no doubt" the opin-
ion recited, feels aggrieved that these
governmental agencies are preparing
to compete with 1t in the distribution
and sale of electric energy, but that
does not render the contracts here in
volved invalid"
The court pointed out that the elec-
torate of Memphis, by = vote Of 3d.
735 to 1858, had approved a $9,000,-
900 bond issue for a municipal plant
for the distribution of T. v. A. power.
