Early Sunday a riot broke out
in the building. The men smashed

tear gas grenades into the build

dawn a detachment of State po-
lice was on hand and the show
of force brought the surrender
of %.

threw plumbing equipment into

and shouted complaints about
food and medical treatment
Warden William Carly refused tc
talk to them until they named
spokesman. The spokesman asked
that some one from outside the

heavy streams of water into thu
building for two hours. The con.
victs huddled against walls tt

Within a matter of hours curious

Mother of God is purported to have
released to Mrs. Van Hoof special
messages of great Importance to
all bishops, priests and clergy of

to note that, up to this time, no

The miracle of the sun" is the in
explicable appearance of the solar
body pinwheeling in the heavens
and hurtling towards the earth at

200 miracles we're reported-seven-

thentic-Rome could not accept the

deny, of course, that many miracles
occur through the veneration OF

Bleeding Reported
By Rev. Or. Max Jordan

KONNERSREUTH, Germany -
NC) - In compliance with the re-
cent request of Therese Neumann
not to attempt to visit her on Good
Friday, scarcely 300 persons called
on the stigmatic this year. On the
preceding Friday more than 1000
visitors, among them many Ameri-
cans, had come to this village.
This year, the stigmatic'S ex-
periences of the Passion of Our
Lord were the same as in previ.
Gus years. Good Friday of 1851
was the only exception and her
stigmata were not bleeding. The
bleeding was again profuse from
the wounds on her head, her eyes
shoulder, hands and arms. Once
again, the scene made a deep i'm,
preston on all who called on
Therese Neumann.
The huge crowds which in for
mer years came to this village al
Easter time were absent and every
thing in the village was orderly
and peaceful.

4p0state Returns

1947-Rome: Bruno Cornacciola
was an apostate from the Church.
He was a Baptist and violent anti
Catholic. While he was preparing
an article against the doctrine of
the Immaculate Conception, the IA
nous apparition of the same I'm
maculate Conception appeared to
him and his three children. He be-
came reconciled to the Church and
many miracles were reported at
the scene of the vision. However,
all public veneration is forbidden
until the Church makes a pro-
nouncement.
1947-Urucaina, Brazil: Father
Antonio Ribeiro Pinto has publicly
proclaimed himself to be the ''in-
strument of the Immaculate Moth

see the Blessed Virgin standing
behind him. The Church is max

render a favorable judgment.
1948-Lipa, P.I.: The visions of
the postulant at the convent of
Lipa were widely publicized and a
commission of six Bishops render

superioress.
1948-Romania An apparition
similar to that of Fatima is report
ed here but the Church feels that
the excitement of the times should
indicate a cautious acceptance of
the facts.
1949-Lublin, Poland: Worship
pers at the Cathedral said that they
saw a statue of the Virgin shedding
