Capt. William II. Williams OF Bethel,
Del. has closed q contract with q ship
building firm at Seaford. Del. for the
construction Of freight
barge. which will be ready for service

land freight-carrying barges are in
process OF construction and before the
end OF this year a dozen or more Of

cd to the already large fleet employed
In the Chesapeake and Atlantic coast
trade.
Barges are gradually crowding out
sailing craft in all lines Of water traf-
DC on the bay. and few of the old-t time
trim and speedy bay schooners are
being built. The coal traffic between
Philadelphia and Baltimore to bay

SUNDAY REGULATION
Senator Johnston's Bill Sup
ported and Opposed.
UPHELD IN THE PULPIT
Condemned by Religious Liberty As
sociation and by Members of
German Societies.

The proposed Johnston Sunday observ-
ance bill. now before Congress, was sup
ported at some meetings held yesterday
and in others was condemned. At the
| services in the New York Avenue Presby
| terian Church. Rev. DR.. Wallace Rad
cliffe. the pastor. who'is one Of the lead
| ers in the work for the law. commented
briefly on the effort to pass the legisla-
ton, urging greater energy on the part
of its supporters. In the Fourth Presby-
terian Church. Rev. DIR. Joseph T. Kelly
also urged the passage Of the measure.
He made an appeal to members of the
congregation to bring their. influence to
bear on members Of Congress that the bill
may become a law.
The Bill Opposed.
Equally strenuous were the leaders at
the meetings which declared against the
proposed legislation. In resolutions pass
ed at mass meeting under the auspices
of the Religious Liberty Association in
Pythian Temple last evening it was de-
clared: I'VE recognize the principle 50
clearly stated by the Author of our re-
ligion, Render to Caesar the things that
are Caesars, and to God the things that
are Gods and therefore protest against
any interference in religious affairs on
the part OF the state" ,
1t was also asserted: "The principle of
religious freedom was plainly interpreted
by the Author of Christianity Himself.

The resolutions also recited:
After full consideration of the prin-
ciples involved Congress In 1S29-S0 re-
fused to enact legislation of q religious
character, and has consistently maintain

relating to Sunday observance until the

| ciple would be injurious both to the
Christian religion and to good govern
ment.'
Condemned by Germans.
Various German society members pro-
tested against the proposed legislation
DR.. Kurt voelckner. president of the
United German Societies. asked why any
man should have the right to prescribe
for him what he should or should not do
on a certain day OF tho week, as long as
he conducted himself according to law.
He also averred that the Johnston bill is
an outgrowth of Intolerance and should
never be placed on the statute books of
the nation.
Vice President Beauverd OF the Colum-
bia Turnverein declared that the Ger
man-American National Alliance, with
over 100000 votes on its rolls Of men,
bership, should take up the matter at
once and inform Senator Johnston that
they regard the proposed legislation as an
incursion into the personal rights Of the

On account OF the activity Of the trans

50 q net ton westbound, the steamship

cents q ton cranage, when cranes were
used, in addition. This contract con-
tinued for almost q year. when the steam
