POPE, AMID POMP OF MIDDLE AGES, ENDS HOLY YEAR Continued from Page 1. state and members of the historic liomnn aristocracy, composed the persons who filled the great liaslliea and Its massive portico to day to bear witness to the time- honored solemn ceremony. Other thousands without number eonere-eated In the spacious Ft. Peter's Square, covering virtually every flagstone between the weatherworn Hol ders designed by Bernini which skirt two sides of the square, knowing they could never nee any part of the ceremony but hoping to receive some vicarious spiritual benefit from euch close proximity. Ceremony Began In 1300.

Except for the touch of modernity lent by the lay participants, the ceremony today was an exact reproduction of the first holy door ceremony of 1300. when Dante and St. Krnncis of Assist were nunineren among those present. The fact that the ceremony has always been the same, with the same ritual, the same garb, the same kinds of decorations, gave it an air ot eternalness and perpetuity. The main portico, with Its white and cold ceilings, waa decorated with priceless tapestries mellowed by cen turies of age and with crjmson velvet.

Tho tribune erected special ly for a privileged fow, Including the memhers ot visiting royal lamllles, the family of the 1'ope and the diplomatic body, was richly draped with crimson damask. These decorations gave to the scene an appearance of solemnity and warmth in the midst of cold massivo marble pillars and floors. The papal throne had been erected only a few feet from the holy door and was draped with tapestries bearing the papal coat of arms. On the way to the Basilica the rapal procession was Joined by mem hers of the noble guard, the Knlghlh ot the Cape and Sword, dressed In Kllzabethan costumes, with the traditional ruff, by all tho Cardinals In Rome, bearing their long red silk trains and wearing white ermine capes; by Oriental patriarchs, their heads glittering with Jeweled head dresses: whlte-mltered abbots and canons of St. Peter's In purple robes trimmed with white lace; special corps of Swiss and Palatine guards in full dress uniforms, and the Swiss guards bearing aloft their ax-like halberds.

At the entrance to the portico the Pope was rained In the Sedla Gesta-toria and was borne Into the admiring audience. His coming was heralded by the sounding of six silver trumpets In a specially erected balcony overhead. At the first appearance of his Holiness there was a ripple of applause, but almost immediately all those present knelt and crossed themselves as a sign of obeisance. The Pope was taken to the throne, near which had been placed the sliver trowel, studded with rubles, lapis lazuli, emeralds, aquamarines and other precious gems he used In the door closing ceremony. The Pontiff took a trowel and placed mortar in the crevice of the door at the bottom.

Twice more he repeated this, each time chanting In Latin. Afterwards the Pope placed in a special opening left for the purpose several medals commemorating the holy year of 1025 and laid over them three rectangular atones. Pope's Prayer Closes Door. Then, amid Intense silence, the Pope pronounced a special benediction upon the stones he had Just put Into pluce and remounted the throne. Thereupon tho major penitential Cardinal placed another stone at tne fMit of the holy door as the choir wing the solemn hymn signifying the closing of the door.

The big St. Peter's bell then boomed the news that holy year had rome to a close. Then all the hells In Home's 400 churches began to peal the same tidings. Preliminary to the ending of holy year the Pontiff yesterday In an encyclical decried the effects of the present system under which gov-eminents are run by the laity and the Christian Church la placed on the same level as all other religions and required to submit to civil pow-rn. The encyclical added that the church, established by Christ as a perfect society, claimed as Its own light full liberty and Independence l'roni lay powers.

James Pralm I'jiglo Cam-palgu. Tho following letter was received today from Darwin R. James, president of the Ilruukljli Bureau of Charities: "I have eagerly followed your excellent campaign for Thirty Neediest Cases' and I congratulate you upon Its digiulled and persuasive character and upon the splendid sum of money you have raised for these families The good you do In providing for them, not 'only at Christmas, hut throughout the year, cannot be measured, while the Interest which you aroused on behalf of charitable work Is a great asset to the Brooklyn llureatl ot Charities and other societies. At Christmas every one -save old Scrooge wants to help make others happy and the Bureau will gladly be their messenger of good-will to all our families, so 1 hat not a single one shall go without a bountiful Christmas. We believe that Is the first wish of those who give.

We are happy to note thut In addition we shail be able to care for our "Neediest Gases" 1 throughout the year. This Is a great satisfaction to us because It assures them a happy New Year and because It Is proof that people want to help In the most substantial w.iv. Our only regret is that we do not have enough money to do all we would like to do for some of our beneficiaries. Blind Women I-ork Alii. "For example, we have a list o' blind women waiting to be trained toward employment and self-support.

But we cannot help them as yet, because we do not have enough money. There are others like the sick and crippled whose needs we are not financially ablo to relieve. But through the Influence of such marvelous campaigns as yours we shall hope somo day to do even more than now. "Allow me to extend, through The Eagle, the thanks and best wish. of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities to all whose gifts have made It possible to provide so generously for our neediest families and to carry forward the big burden of our work.

And to The Brooklyn Dally Eagle, always our loyal and generous trlend, we extend our profound thanks and our heartiest good wishes." ASE NO. 28 Penniless, IVIrndlcss. Mr. Bell died of tuberculosis, leaving his wife and tour small children penniless, friendless and bewildered. Mrs.

Humors about Itorkevllle Centre and other part of Nassau County helped to circulate the ugly story that there never would be a thorough effort to give the case the official attention It deserved because such an inquiry would disclose too much Information about a traffic in rum that might affi-ct the social and political standing of certain Nassau County Individuals. There Is no direct proof that these rumors are true. They probably started from the following facts: Imlblcil TIihv.

The Federal Indictment In connection with the robbing of the bank named three men Charles Dooley, cashier of the Institution; James K. Stiles, politician and editor of the official newspaper of Rork-vllle Centre, and Rudolph M. Wylli of Rockvllle Centre, a bootlegger by his own admission and by the payment of a 1500 fine In court. Stiles. Indicted on several count" charging that he aided Donley In taking money from the bank unlawfully, was placed on trial seven months after Dooley fled and less than three months after he was first Indicted.

Ho denied that he had deliberately presented worthless checks for cash payment and declared that Dooley had arranged with him to accept the checks In the form of promissory notes. Dooley. In hiding at the time of the trial, was not present to deny any enrh arrangements. Stiles was acquitted. Three Years of Inactivity.

Three year passed, but there Is no record In the Federal Court to show that Wylk was ever called upon to return.
