trator of the diocese, going to St. Jo
s ph's church In West Nashville, where
ho continued as rector until IMS and a
year later, vu appointed vicar general.
In 15S7 he was consecrated bishop of Con

dence here has confirmed not less than
15000 persons. He has established sixty
parochial schools and aided In the or.
sanitation of mora than 100 churches In
the state.
Probably one of the greatest work un

Of course, it Is too early to say what
the harvest will be." eald Mr. Lane, "but
there was never a time at the present
season of the year when the prospects
were as good as now. The acreage Into
small grain Is unusually targe and the
winter wheat Is covering the ground like
an immense carpet. There was plenty of
moisture during the early spring and
everywhere there have been many .heavy
and seasonable rains since. The cold
weather has caused the grain to "stool"
and now it Is aa thick on the ground as
the hairs on a dog's back.
Few of the farmer have planted then
corn, but they are preparing the ground

Special Grand Jury
May Be Called for

It Is believed that a special federal
grand jury will be ordered to Indict
Harry Allen and Michael Albert, so that
their trials may come up during the
present term of court. Albert and Allen
are under arrest on a. charge of "whit
slavery."
This Information was brought out la
estimating the cost of holding the pris
oner until September for the grand Jury
to work on their case, with the cost of
ordering a special venire and bringing
them to a speedy trial.
Both the girls. Ida Multer and Emma
Walsh, are In the care of the matron of
the Jail, where they are being held as
witnesses. Though the girls may be freed
If their parents take charge of them, or
If Private William Marvin still presses

wish to marry th girls. 'United States
District Attorney Howell will not con
sider under any cireuTnatance to allow
