(Copyrig-ht by the New York World. Pub- j lfshed by Arrangement.) ROME, May 24. (Special Cable.) Twelve thousand pilgrims this after noon attended the opening of the Eucharistic congress in the Belvedere court of the Vatican. Pope Pius, after a discourse pointing out the religious importance of the congress and its meaning to Catholics, pronounced an apostolic benediction. The congress lasts six days and its programme is almost entirely of a spiritual nature. - The holiness ex pressly desires that anything like secular functions be eliminated, but even the spiritual programme is now curtailed. It Is not yet decided whether or not the pope will pronounce the apostolic blessing from the balcony of St. Peter's. The procession, with the pope under the basilica's porticos, has been abandoned definitely. This was done, it is known, at the request of the French government, which is extremely fearful of any pontifical act which might even be interpreted as a sign of reconcilation with the Italian government. French Plea Heeded. Should his holiness walk under the portico he would be publicly and officially treading on Italian terrl tory. The French think this would be an extremely dangerous precedent. But even international politics is unable to stop the programme of the second important fixture, which con sists of a Friday night watch in St. Peter s from 10 until 6 o'clock Satur day morning. Only men will be ad mltted to this all-night adoration, at which the pope will be present. Every man who has a season ticket for the congress will be admitted and at the end of the vigil the pope will celebrate mass. No seats will be pro vided, however, and the entire con gregation will be standing or kneel ing all night, while the humblest peasant will have an equal chance of standing as close to the high altar over St. peter s grave as the richest man present. His holiness wishes nothing to suggest class distinction at the proceedings. Many Features Arranged. Another impressive feature will be a general meeting of the congress at the catacombs of St. Calixtus to morrow afternoon. These are the outstanding func tions of the congress, but there are others hardly less important to Cath olics the general companion of Christian mothers in the ancient St. Augu3tine church Saturday, the con secration of girls to the Blessed Vir gin and other solemn church functions. At the request of the pope the Gregorian chants will be sung throughout ' the function, and the musical programme will be in charge of the Benedictines. weather and these figures will be ex ceeded by at least 50 per cent.

Prisoners Declared Victims System Which Lets Men Partners Go Free. . . "A burning injustice!" was the characterization made by District Judge Deich yesterday of the system of confining diseased women at the Cedars and at the same time turning loose the men often responsible for the condition of the women. The comment was made when six girls who had run-away from the institu tion came up for disposition.' "The women themselves . feel the unfairness of the situation and the general public believes it to be un just," said the judge. "If such an in stitution is to be maintained for women, a similar one should be" pro vided for men!" State, federal and city authorities present conceded the forcefulness of the argument, and mild promises were made that "something would be done." The hearing was scheduled for Monday, but postponed while city au thorities sought a recommendation for punishment of the girls who had es caped recently from the Cedars. It finally was thought advisable to house the women in the laundry room at the city jail, but Judge Deich did not think favorably of the plan' yes terday afternoon: As finally determined, the women were sentenced to varying terms of from 30 to laO days by Judge Deich and the penalties suspended. New examinations were ordered and, the women sent back to the Cedars were informed that anotheittempt to run away , would result in sentences to jail.

"I believe the best lrterests of all concerned will be served by a careful development of the tremendous merchandising op portunities offered by radio." Mr. Bibbins said that the develop ment of business so far this year in dicates it will be better than 1921. CITY OPENS STREET BIDS OFFER OF $17,750 LOWEST ON GAY AND AVEBSTER JOB.
