To BUILD NEW
PARISH HOUSE
St. Peters Episcopal to Erect
Fine Structure on Rector
Street in Spring.

An idea which has been taking
form for several years is now be-
ing resolved into definite shape by
the rector and vestry of st. Peters
Episcopal church, and actual steps
will soon be taken for the erection
of a new parish house on the church s
property on the westerly side of
Rector street, opposite the church.
Work will be commenced in the
spring. The site is situated just
south of E. V. Eskesen's residence
and grounds at Gordon and Rector
streets.
The Woman's Guild of the parish
has already given $4,000 toward the
work. The old Sunday school build
ing, at the corner of Gordon and Rec
tor street, will be sold and the pro-
ceeds added to the fund for the par
ish house.
The building will be a modern
structure, containing everything for
church work, with a Sunday school
room, room for the parish guild
and, possibly gymnasium. This
work will go on as rapidly as possible
as soon as all plans are completed.
Subscriptions will also be taken up
among the members of the parish.

FOG HOLDS SHIPS
AND FERRIES TIGHT
Returning Tourists Stalled al
Quarantine and River Traffic
Impeded.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20:-Heavy
fog which hung over the bay, har-
Dor and rivers early today proved a
/ great barrier to shipping, seriously
impeded the ferry service and caused
several big incoming ocean liners to
be held up at Quarantine and outside
the bar.
Traffic on the municipal route to
Staten Island was seriously crippled
and boats ran from fifteen to forty
minutes behind their schedules. The
condition was almost as bad on the
East and North rivers, and thousands
of workers reached their places of
business much later than usual.
More than five thousand passen-
gers, in from Europe, were held in
vessels down the bay. Two of the
biggest at Quarantine were the White
Star line steamship Majestic, with
Louis Mann and Clara Lipman
aboard, and the North German Lloyd
vessel, Koenig Albert, which has
among her passengers Martin }.
Glynn.
The boarding cutters did not ven
ture from their Battery piers and
the revenue officers said no attempt
would be made to reach the big yes
sells until the fog lifted.
Louis Mann and Clara Lipman are
returning from London, where they
produced "Julie Bon Bon" The play
was a huge success in New York, but
it made no impression with the Brit
ish.
