PROGRESS ON TUNNEL
THREE DRIFTS COMPLETE OF
RAILWAY TERMINAL PROJECT.

Two more tunnel drifts, similar to the one
at the completion of which the formal cere-
monies were held about month ago, nave
been pushed through under Capitol Hill
thus marking another mile stone In the
progress in the railroad terminal develop
ment in the city Robert Farnham, 1r., as
sistant engineer of construction OIL the
Pennsylvania railroad. stated today that
Tuesday of this week the workmen VINO
had started at the south ends of two drits
under Capitol Hill emerged from the north
ends No special ceremonies were he-o III
connection with the completion of these
new drifts.
The finished tunnel, of which there are
two, will be in the form of huge horse
shoe when completed. TO meet the en-
cheering difficulties in excavations three
drifts are first tunneled through. They are
about six feet square. One is at the top
center of the horseshoe, the other TWO are
at the bases on each side. When these
three drifts are completed the work OF ex-
cavation progresses rapidly.
The top drift was completed atout one
month ago, and its finish was marked by
a formal celebration. The other two at
the bases, are the ores which have Just
been completed. After the three drifts are
made the first thing to be done is to ex-
cavate the sides of the horseshoe, thus
connecting the three drifts. That WORK
Is progressing rapidly. and has progressed
to within a few hundred feet of the end.
In the excavations thus completed are
built the wooden temporary supports: and
then the work of excavating the entire CEN
ter of earth, to clean out the horseshoe.
will go on. When that is finished the en-
tire excavation for the tunnel will be COM
plete.
The three drifts which have been finished
for the first tunnel are each J, 100 feet long,
partly Open There are 300 feet of open
cut al the south end of the tunnel at LIST
and streets southeast, and COO feet OF
open cut at the north end of the tunnel at
1st and D streets northeast. The driven
tunnel is $500 feet long. OF that driven
tunnel distance the excavations are COM
plete for 1,500 feet, and it is expected that
with the drifts now completed the eXcava-
lions for this first tunnel can be completed
by the end of February. Then the finishing
touches. such putting on the stone lin
ing, the foundation for the tracks, ETC., can
go on.
Work Is also being done on the drifts in
the second tunnel under the hill, but as 1t
was started some time after that IN the
first tunnel, the drifts will not be pushed
through for some time yet. Difficulties in
the shape of water are being encountered
at many points, and that delays the work.

ELDERS UNION MEETS
PREsBYTERIANs DISCUSS TENETs
OF THEIR CHURCH.

+ The Presbyterians of today do not
know where they are at said Rev. DR..
Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. in an
address on What 1 Would Do if Were
an Elder. at a meeting of the Elders
Union of the Washington presbytery last
evening In the Metropolitan Presbyterian
Church.
While defining the duties of ruling
elder of the church, as he saw them DR..
Radcliffe laid special stress on the state
ment that Presbyterians in these days do
not know what the doctrinal beliefs OF
their church are. He declared that true
Presbyterianism of the kind that made
the church great in the past has been
overshadowed by other beliefs. This. he
said, Is the reason the growth of the de-
nomination has not been as rapid as 1t
should have been in recent years.
He called upon the elders to do their
duty" in upholdng the Presbyterians'
ideas of government--the representative
idea in particular-and to make their
pastor, who is the teaching elder,

What 1 Would Do If 1 Were Minister
He said he had an exalted idea OF the
ministry and thought the pastor OF
church should be a man above all re-
proach. If he were minister he would
be a good preacher, he declared but he
would studiously avoid talking over the
heads of his congregation. He gave much
other advice, saying however, as Dr.
Radcliffe had done, that he only thought
he would do these things

CHICAGO BANK TROUBLES.
Controller Ridgely Explains the situa-
ton in That CITY

I2oA Al Lhdt WY
'The trouble with the Walsh banks"
says Controller Ridgely speaking of the
recent bank troubles in Chicago, was due
to two things which are always dangerous
the holding of large amounts Of public
deposits and the managing officers of the
bank being interested in outside enter
prIses requiring the use of very large
amounts of borrowed money, which they.
supplied from the funds of the bank in
larger and larger amounts. No bank
whose officers are using its money to any
considerable amount Is ever free from
danger. They do not all fail by any means,
of course, but when bank does fail 1t is
almost invariably from this cause. There
is seldom failure which is not due TO
excessive loans, either directly to the Of
ficers or to various concerns in which they
are in some way interested. There was no
money stolen from the Walsh banks or
shortage in their securities as there was,
for instance, in the Enterprise Bank or
Allegheny, Pa.
John r. Walsh was for years considered
a very successful and conservative banker,
but he branched out more and more into
other enterprises. He owned large Chi
cago newspaper, three or four railroads,
coal mines, quarries and had real estate
and property of every description. He is
a man of marvellous energy and fine abili-
ty. His companies We're we'll organized
and conducted, and he might have sue
ceeded, as he always had in the past, il
he had not undertaken too much for his
capital. He might have used these banks
to supply funds to a reasonable amount
and had no trouble. Instead however, OF
needing all warning and reducing his
loans he kept on until the strain was too
great and he had to fail. AS soon as we
got the figures from the national bank and
the two state institutions based on s mul
taneous examinations 1t revealed the fact
that the total amount of loans to his in
situations was so large that not one of the
three banks could continue without help.
"At a conference between the officers
of the Wash banks. the clearing house
committee and the national and state Of
flcers, which lasted without interruption
from 10 o'clock Sunday morning until =
O'Clock Monday morning, this situation was
fully discussed The officials notified the
others that unless the payment OF all
creditors was assured not one Of the three
banks should open Monday morning. Mr.
Walsh and the other directors OF the three
banks offered real estate and other Sc
curities to the amount of $1,000, 600 to guar
antee the payment of all depositors, which
they claimed was all of their private for
tunes.
after long figuring and discussion the
other banks accepted this and added their
guarantee to make up any deficiency.
TOO much credit can hardly be given
to the Chicago bankers for this brave,
broad-minded, patriotic and public-sp rited
action. It averted at once any further
financial trouble In Chicago or elsewhere,
which might have led to very serious con.
sequences If not stopped as it was"

TRIAL TO BE ORDERED
ACCUSED MIDsHIPMEN TO BE
CoURT-MARTIALED.

Secretary Bonaparte has received from
the Attorney General the text of the lat-
ter's opinion on these two questions;
Whether the Secretary of the Navy or the
superintendent OF the Naval Academy,
singly or cojointly, are clothed with the
power summarily to dismiss mdshipman
guilty of the offense OF hazing, and If 50
whether such dismissal would prove a bar
to proceeding to the civil courts for as
saut other original elements involved
in the offense.
Must Be Tried by Court Martial.
The Attorney General, in his construction
of the several laws dealing with hazing,
says positively that the power summariiy
10 dismiss midshipman for hazing With
out trial by court-martial does not lie with
the Secretary or the superintendent of the
Naval Academy. He says that the phi ase
found guilty" in the act of 1903 when
considered In connection with the act of
1874 in his judgment has technical and
well-defined meaning and should not be
construed as authorizing the expulsion OF
a midshipman upon the finding of The
superintendent or a board of officers APP
pointed by him, that the accused is guilty
of the offense of hazng. The Attorney
General says that, In view of the specific
provision for a trial by court-martal in
the act of 1874, it would be going very far
IC nOlu that the superintendent OF Inc
Naval Academy a board of officers Other
than court-martial would have the power
to make finding of guilty of the offense
OF hazing within the meaning of the stat
utes. He therefore rules that to be dis
missed for haZing midshipman must have
first been tried and found guilty by court
martial
- In the Civil Courts.
Regarding the second question the Attor-
ney General says:
1T is difficult for me to perceive in what
possible manner a determination of this
question will aid you or the superintendent
of the Naval Academy in the administr,l-
ton or execution of the law in the case
under consideration"
He says, further, 1t only remains for the
superintendent to order court-martial for
the purpose Of trying them. and should
they be either convicted or acquitted py
such court-martial the responsibility rest
ing upon the superintendent under the law
will have been fully discharged. he IN
Inmates, however, that there would be no

tendent or the Secretary in bringing all
