Fav ble Action Forecast. An. unofficial sounding out of views at the District building today de- veloped the indication that favorable consideration from the Commissioners might be expected for the proposi- tions advanced. The suggestions are: That the board be allowed to make provision for the care of feeble-mind- | €d colored wards for whom no insti- tution is available by renting and maintaining suitable quarters until ‘lhl proposed home for feeble-mind- ed—which has been provided for—is | ready to receive them. | | That the board shoyld be allowed to rent and maintain Suitable quar-| |ters to “care for tubercular wards until some permanent arrangement for them is made.

From seldom heard of lands and from every corner of the globe, gifts | of jewels and money are coming into Washington to aid in the completion of the $5,000,000 National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, which is being erected on the Catholic Univer- sity grounds here, Rev. Dr. Bernard A "McKenna, who has been assigned the task of ralsing the necessary funds to bulld the edifice, sald yes- | terday. He returned to the city from Philadelphia, where he attended a meeting of the bullding committee of the national shrine at the residence of Cardinal Dennis J. chairman of the body.

The dome Is to be 90 feet in diameter, and the height of the cross on the summit will be 204 feet. Dr. McKenna reported the comple- on " of the morthwest apse of the crypt and told the committee that five chapels would be ready by Easter Sunday.

Many of the great mediaeval cathe- had thelr cost contributed, in > part, in the same way. It wa customary’ for the people to giv ick and stone, and workmen gave their labor without pay. The knight brought his sword, with gold-crusted hilt, or his brilllant helmet or a de- vice from his breastplate, and laid them, as it were, in advance at the altar’ of some Catholic pile yet to be red. The lady gave her jewels of £old or silver to be melted or to be exchanged for money, or else proffer- ed laces and sllks' and damasks Peasants and heardsmen came with sheep and swine. thousand queer and incogruou were thus transmuted, so to speak, into the marble and ‘granite mosales and color- ul glass that went into the beautiful athedrals whose generations and their customs have left to their pos- terity. SIX LIQUOR RUNNERS CAPTURED. OFF BOSTONy BOSTON, ecember 20.—Six rum- running craft were brought into Bos- ton harbor early today in the custody of the revenus cutter Tampa. A police boat passing down the har- Ibor was hailed by the Tampa, whose captain informed him that he had six rum runners under arrest. The craft were tied up to the Tampa, where she was anchored off New Haven pler . 1, and were being closely guarded. The captain of the Tampa did not give the police the names of the cap- tured boats. He said_that a state- ment would not be issued until day- light. Several liquor-laden vessels were reported to have anchored twelve miles off Gloucester vesterday. Acting on the reports, the Tampa was dispatched to prevent the smuggling of liquor. Her captives are believed to be. fast launches that were at- tempting to run the gauntlet of the |government revenue boats with liquor for_the Christmas holiday trade. 'FLAT TIRE?
