NEW YORK AVENUE CHURCH.

Annual Meeting Held Last Night
Change i'm the Musical Service.
The annual meeting of New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church was held last night
and was largely attended. The report of
the session was presented by Mr.. S. L..
Cr1ssey, showing an encouraging spiritual
and financial condition of affairs. The net
Increase of membership during the year
ending February % was 81; total active
membership at that date, 1924. The total
amount contributed by members of the
church to all Objects Was nearly $1,000, an
increase of about $4,000 over the contribu-
tons Of the previous year. All the agencies
of the church, including the Faith and
Bethany Missions were reported to be
fourishing; the Women's Home and For
eign Missionary societies have been CONSOLE
dated into one organization, to be called the
Womens Missionary Society, under the
presidency of Mrs,I. W. Foster. Messrs H.
o. Claughton and N. A. Robbins were re-
elected elders and@Messrs. c. E. Foster, J.
r. Imbrie and Philip f. Larner, deacons
Noble .. Larner, chairman Of the board of
trustees, read the report of that body,
which included a statement comparing the
financial and physical status of the church
at the end of the year with that at the
showing an improvement in both respects.
The trustees whose terms had expired
were reelected.
The most interesting feature Of the meet
ing was the consideration Of the question
of changing the form OF the musical part
of the worship. At present, the congrega-
ton Is led by precentor; desire had been
expressed that a choir and leader should
be substituted. and upon that the MEM
bers Of the session were equally divided,
and there was considerable opposition to
the change in the congregation. The mat
ter was referred to the congregation, and
Mr.. Justice Harlan proposed an amendment
to the bylaws, the effect Of which, If
adopted, would be to instruct the session
to make the change. This was discussed
for some time, and finally adopted by a
vote Of 9S to 40. 1t is not known when the
session will authorize the change to be
made.

CAPITOL TOPICS,


The committee on territories of the House
yesterday voted to report favorably to the
House the bill introduced by Mr.. Scranton
OF Pennsylvania for a delegate from Alas
ka. Under the bill the delegate is to hold
his seat in Congress on the same terms as
the delegate from other territories.
The Maritime Canal Bill.
A bill to incorporate the maritime canal
of North America to connect the Hudson
river and the great lakes was introduced
yesterday in the Senate by Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota, and in the House
by Representative Cooper of Wisconsin,
The canal system for which the bill pro-
vides includes canals from the head of
tidewater navigation on the Hudson to
Lake Champlain; from the head of Lake
st. Francis to the st. Lawrence river above
the long Sault rapids; from Lewiston on
the Niagara river to a point on the river
above The falls, and authority to deepen
and widen the Champlain and Hudson
canal is asked.
The channels are to be twenty feet deep,
to permit two of the largest vessels draw
ing twenty feet to pass, and the locks are
to admit-vessels $50 feet long and sixty-five
wide. The plans are to be approved by a
board of five engineers appointed by the
Secretary of War, the canal is to be under
the control of the interstate. commerce
commission, and the government is by the
bill authorized to take possession of the
property on one weeks notice by paying
the value Of the property.
A Good Roads Hearing.
The House committee on agriculture YES
terday gave hearing on good roads, based
on the bill introduced by Representative
Charles w. Stone of Pennsylvania, creating
special commission on highways. whose
duty it should be to inquire generally how
the government may further promote the
improvement of highways. Representative
Stone explained the bill. e. G. Harrison of
New Jersey. representing the national
league of good roads, set forth the i'm
portance Of good material in road construc-
ton. Mr.. Samms of Maryland spoke of the
Holmes of North Carolina showed how the
educational interests would be benefited by
good roads. H. w. Anderson, the secretary
of the Virginia State Road Association, and
Sterling Elliott of Boston, representing the
League of American Wheelmen, also spoke.
Gen. Stone Of the Agricultural Department
said his bureau had sent out from the
Office of road inquiry 10000 letters to the
most Intelligent and experienced farmers
in the United States, and applied the data
so obtained to the census returns. The re-
suit was to confirm the estimates Of experts
that the total bad roads tax, direct and in
direct, exceeds $5OO,OO0,000 yearly. Such a
tax, he said, one-fourth Of the
home value of all farm products in the
United States: but 1t went without saying
that this burden was not all borne by the
farmers.

More About Marquette.

More About Marquette.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In yesterdays issue of The Stan an article
signed ct" claims that Marquette's statue
is as much entitled to a place in Statuary
Hall in the Capitol. from Wisconsin, as is
the statue of Roger Williams from Rhode
Island: that Marquette as properly repre-
resent Rhode Island: that Williams was
a churchman, ase was Marquette; that
Roger Williams was not a citizen of
the state of Rhode Island. The fact
placed in the Capitol because of political
services (although he may have been a
churchman also), he having founded the
colony, the very foundation of the state, al
though not then called a state. Marquette
rendered no services except to the Catholic
Church; not political in any sense. After
founding the colony, Roger Williams made 1t
his home, and died there. The first settle
ment in Wisconsin was made before Mar
quette came to America. He came to Can
ada in 1865, established mission (set up an
altar for Worship at Mackinaw. Mich, af-
terward went through Wisconsin, establish
ed another mission at kaskaskia, in Illinois,
returned to Michigan, where he died, near
the site of Grand Rapids and his remains
were afterward taken to Mackinaw He
was in America less than ten years, per-
forming religious services only; never found
ed a colony OF settlement anywhere
Statuary Hall has been given up 10 the
placing of statues of persons who rendered
political services. not religious services uhe
word political is not here used in partisan
sense). The statue of John or Charles Wes-
ley would be as much out of place there as
that of Marquette. Church and state must
be kept separate in order to avoid trouble
and the Catholics should not try to mix
them. I am not a member Of any church,
don't attend any church. don't belong to
any secret order and only know one man
who belongs to the A. P. A., but am unal-
terably opposed to placing the statue of any
churchman in the Capitol. IL his church
work is the only thing for which he sho aid
be honored. I would oppose statues of Wes-
ley, Phillips Brooks and others as earnest
ly as oppose Marquette's. and believe the
general public does so. Let the churches,
and not the national government honor tire
priests and preachers as they like! L.
