Capt. cosby's Report on Pumping sys-
tenn Of Big Tunnel.

Capt. Cosby. the engineer officer in
charge of the District water supply sys-
tenn, has Just made a report to Gen.
Mackenzie, chief of engineers, in regard to
the pumping system Of the big tunnel con-
Meeting the Georgetown distribution res
ervofr with the Washington city reservoir
and filtration plant near the Soldiers
Home. In order to give a practical test of
the efficiency Of the pumping system, it
was decided to empty the tunnel This
work was begun at 1870 o'clock am. De-
+ cember 10, when the outlet gates Of the
GEORGETOWN WI p 1eservoK were closed and the
AS soon as the tunnel had been partially
drained through the blow-off. the two CEN
trifugal pumps at Rock creek. the two air
lifts at Champlain avenue and one Of the
two air lifts at the east shaft were
started.
1t was found impossible, says Capt
Cosby, to run both air lifts at the east
shaft simultaneously on account of the
heating of both crank pins Of the air-com-
pressOr engines. The pumps were all kept
in operation throughout the day and the
brief inspection of the tunnel was made
near the shaft, and Capt. Cosby says 1t
was found to be in excellent condition ex-
cept for a slight deposit Of soft mud and
become detached from the masonry side
walls. The main interest in this test lies
in the fact that it was the first attempt
that has been made to pump out the tun-
mel since the pumping machinery at the
several shafts was turned over to the
United States by the contractors.
ut showed" says Capt. Cosby, that the
machinery is fairly efficient. and that with
a small amount Of work on the bearings
Of the engines at the east shaft, which
has since been done, and small addi-
mel could readily be emptied at any
time"

SERMON By REV. DIR. HALE.
Exhorts Hearers to Abandon Mechan-
les Of Religion.

Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale appealed
to large audience at Rauscher's Hall yes
terday afternoon to abandon the "mechan-
ics' and walk with God. welcome Him In
the sunrise and thank Him In the Sunset"
The subject of his discourse was 1.-The Ne
chanics of Religion" and was delivered to
the Washington branch of the National
New Thought Center.
Recounting the conditions Christ found
at Jerusalem. DR.. Hale declared: There
were the mechanics of religion-the ped
dlers of doves and oxen at the temple
gates. the Jew money changers, who would
give Jewish coin for Roman. the latter
being considered profane and uniting to
put in the temple contribution boxes. There
he found Nicodemus wrapped In the cloak
Christs protests against all this huckster-
ing were unavailing. The first wave OF the
ocean of life has struck against the rocks
of mechanical religion and has been hung
back in drops and spray. Jesus Is COM
PEELED by the strictness of the mechanics
to go up into His own Galilee and throw
Himself and His Gospel on the people,"
IF 1 were asked" he SAIL ito put the
meaning of this talk n sixteen words
should say that the time Of the ecclesfas-
tics is over. and the time for everybody to
work has begun The world has been
cleared of rubbish; 1t has been dug to the
foundations; it has been brushing away
with its dustcloth the bacteria and bacilf
OF ecclecias ticism. of ritualism. of dogmatit
theology and other remnants of paganism
and now there stands clear before us the
crisis and the questions. Who wants the
reign of God? Who vans to work with
God? Who wants to seek the kingdom OF
God first. and not second. third or last?
In addressing the Unitarian conference
at Saratoga in 1902 l said that l believed
the new century would kill ecclesiasticisn
until ecclesiasticism should know that 1t
was dead: that the new century would ad-
vance in proportion as, instead of ecclesias-
ticism. it embraced Christianity. which
means Our Father who art 1t means
that we children are to work together In
His work because He is our Father. And
this means that we children are not to be
satisfied with any mechanism Of religion"

URGE FAVORABLE ACTION.
Commissioners Report on Albemarle
Street Extension.

In a report to Chairman Babcock of the
District committee Of the House today the
Commissioners recommended favorable &C
ton upon H. r. bill 2349O 'for the extern
sion of Albemarle street northwest" which
was referred to them for consideration last
week. AS the extension will furnish di-
rect entrance to Rock Creek Park, as well
as other conveniences, the residents and
property owners concerned have been urg-
ing the legislation for several years. The
Commissioners in the past disapproved the
extension upon the ground that other ex-
tensions were more important, and" the
benefits from the Albemarle extension would
be almost purely local.
In reporting favorably upon the bill today
the Commissioners stated that although the
extension is a worthy one and Is much
needed, 1t will have the effect of a local
benefit, and therefore the total cost, which
is estimated at 5000 should be assessed
on the property benefited. Such assess
ment has been provided in the bill.
The Commissioners explained that the
roadway of Albemarle street has been ac-
quired by the District from Grant road,
short distance west of Wisconsin avenue,
to the Broad branch, near Rock Creek
Park, and this highway, when improved as
the Commissioners intend to do within the
next two or three years, VIII furnish a
much desired entrance to that section OF the
park
The bill provides for the opening Of the
street from Wisconsin avenue to the Muir
dock Mill road, with the uniform width Of
ninety feet. according to the permanent
system of highway plans. The street de-
fleets by the Grant road to Wisconsin ave-
nue., and west Of the proposed extension is
nearly paralleed by the Murdoch Mill road
leading to the subdivision of the American
University Park and American University
Heights. In addition the proposed extern
sion will give to the residents of the sub
division mentioned direct outlet to Wis
consin avenue of sufficient width to provide
for a roadway and sidewalks, whereas the
outlet now is by an old country road which
is largely in a deep cut only twenty six
feet wide, which leaves scarcely room for
a roadway and gutter and no room for side
walks.

Ice Supply in Maine.

The zero weather in the northern part Of
the country has again covered the rivers
of Maine. from which the ice supply of this
city is obtained, with q thick coating of
ice and. according to letter received at
the headquarters Of the American Ice Com
pany on the wharf, the cutting of Ice on
the Kennebec and other rivers has been re-
sumed. The ice is quite thick. and 1t Is
stated that unless a sudden thaw should
occur the company will be able to cut and
house many thousand tons in the next two
or three weeks. 1t is stated that while
the ice on the Kennebec softened during
the thaw of last week, those engaged In
cutting pond ice were able TO get good sup
plies, and that many Of the smaller Ice
houses on the ponds are practically full.
Reports from the upper Hudson river,
where the American Ice Company has ice
houses about every two hundred yards for
several miles. state that as yet the ice on
the river has not become thick enough to
cut and it was feared that heavy fall of
snow would come and ruin the ice that has
formed During the freeze the latter part
Of December about 10000 tons were cut,
but the thaw came and the Ice broke up
and went down the river. AS the upper
Hudson ice fields are depended upon to
supply New York city. it is said that over
two million tons will have to be cut and
1t Is expected to get this quantity between
now and the end of February.

PATIENTS IMPROVING.
Those Injured in Terra Gotta Wreck
on WAY to Recovery.

Mr.. Cornelius Eckhardt, mayor of Ken
sington, Nd, who was painfully injured in
the wreck at Terra Gotta three weeks ago,
is rapidly recovering from his injuries and
will leave Garfield Hospital this week. The
decorations on his head and body have al
most entirely healed and the two ribs which
were broken are rapidly mending. He will
remain short time in the city with rela..
tives before returning to his home in Ken
sington.
At the last meeting Of the town council
of Garrett Park, Md. a resolution was
unanimously adopted expressing the SYM
pathy of the mayor and council for Mayor
Eckhardt, and also expressing hope of his
speedy and complete recovery: A copy Of
the resolution was forwarded by Mr.. c. B.
Sornborger, town clerk of Garrett Park, to
Mayor Eckhardt at Garfield Hospital
Among the large number of letters re-
ceived by Mr. Eckhardt was a communica-
ton containing expressions of SYM
pathy from Mr.. 8. J. Miller, secre-
tary of the Baltimore Ministerial Associa-
ton, conveying sympathy from the Balti-
more Lutheran ministers, which met In
of the Luther League Of America, Mr..
Luther NJ. kuhns, at Omaha, Neb., and Mr..
George H. Lamar, president of the board
of county school commissioners for Mont
.gomery county, who is visiting in Birming
ham, Ala, also sent expressions for Mayor
Eckhardts speedy recovery.
The medical attendants at CARRIED HCSpl-
tai consider Mr.. Eckhardt's case a most re-
markable one. When he was received at
the hospital the night of the wreck little
hope was entertained for his recovery. He
was suffering terribly from shock in addi-
ton to the effect Of his injuries, and 1t was
not expected he would survive the night.
DR.. John Van Rensselaer,, one Of the staff
surgeons of the hospital, was summoned
and dressed his wounds. Mr.. Eckhardt
commenced to recover after being in the
hospital a few days, and has continued to
improve steadily since. He speaks in the
highest terms of the attention which he has
received from the medical staff and the at
tendants and attributes his rapid progress
to the care bestowed upon him.
Miss Bertha r. Peake of Braddock
Heights. Va, who is also confined at Gar
field Hospital, is slowly recovering and will
be able to leave the hospital in a short
time. The other patients at the institution,
with the exception of these two, have re-
turned to their homes.
Mrs. Elizabeth kunlo and little Marjorie
Lucille Compiler, who were badly injured
and who are at Providence Hospital, show
steady improvement. John A. Kunlo, at
Casualty Hospital, and Clarence A. Proctor,
both of whom had their lower limbs badly
hurt are improving. Richard Elgin, at
Casualty, who had his legs injured, and
Mrs. Don NJ. Carr of Kensington and Mr..
William Johnson, who are at the Emer-
gency, are all stated to be on the road to
recovery.

FAREWELL SERMON.
Difficulties Of Revelation Discussed by
Bishop Earl Cranston.

SAssA3SsS~A~
Bishop Earl Cranston delivered his fare
well sermon last evening at the Foundry
Church. His subject was, Difficulties Of
Revelation The bishop contended that
language cannot convey the thoughts and
meaning of any individual. The full mean
ing Of the Bible, he said, is too deep to be
thoroughly understood unless the author is
present to bring out the ideas that cannot
and never will be expressed by words. The
author of the Bible still lives, he said.
THE relation of the Bible to the church
now and 100 years ago has greatly
changed" he said. 1T is different from
what it was 500 or 1000 years ago. Times
and people have changed materially. There
Is connection between the human brain
and heart Faith, obedience. good thoughts
and goodness to others will enlarge this
connection" In conclusion, Bishop Grams
ton offered a prayer for the people of the
orient whom he is going to assist.
Bishop and Mrs. Cranston will depart
from this city tomorrow and in February
will sail from San Francisco for Honolulu,
where they will remain ten days and then
take a steamship for the orient. During
his stay in that country the bishop will
look after the Methodist missionary work
and attend several Chinese and japanese
conferences.
