OVERSEA ROAD FINISHED
One of Costliest Railways Ever Con
structed Opened To-day.

Key West, Fla, Jan. 2l.-When the cross
over span at knights Key was closed this
afternoon and the great concrete trestle
into Key West was finally tested every
thing was in readiness for the celebration
OF the opening of the oversee extension OF
the Flarida East Coast Railroad here to-
morrow.
The oversee road is one OF the costliest
railways ever constructed. II steps from
key to key far out into the Gulf, at some
points being out OF sight OF land. Between
the keys are long stretches OF concrete
yiaducts, steel and draw bridges
The work which Is completed with the
opening OF the Florida East Coast line be-
tween knights Key and Key West, dis
tance OF forty-iye miles, establishing an
all rail route from New York to about
one hundred miles from Cuba's capital,
was begun aons ago by company Of
microscopic workmen, known az coral in
sects. Little by little during the centuries
they built up the fifty-odd islands which
the railroad crosses In its jump from
Homestead. Fla, To the southernmost key.
The work of connecting these Islands with
concrete viaducts and steel rails took only
seven years.
Construction began on the oversee ex-

AID FOR WIDOWED MOTHERS
Rabbi Wise Discusses Scheme
for State Pensions.

In his address on Shall the State Pen
sion Widowed Mothers? yesterday at
Carnegie Hall DR., Stephen S. Wise said
Woman is more than domestic bur
den bearer. more than a sex creature.
Woman is the most significant member of
society, because she is potentially a
mother, and the state. as we'll as the home,
rests upon the life of the mother. Our
wsest child caring institutions have
adopted in part the placing out system,
and are seeking to reproduce home con-
ditions through the so-Called cottage sys-
TEN.
''lf II Is wrong to take child out of
its home because it's mother Is poor, IT is
not less wrong TO leave a child in a home
merely because its parents are rich There
are homes i'm the Five Points which ought
90 he maintained by the state There are
homes on Fifth avenue which the state
ought 10 break up. Children should be
rescued from homes which are blighted
by moral poverty and spiritual destitu-
tion, and not only from homes with in
sufficient income
Generally speaking, the charity organi-
cations OF our community have proved
Themselves unable to bear the burden of
adequate maintenance Of the widowed
mother with her children in their home.
We ask for no more than the legislative
appointment of commission carefully 10
investigate the problem of state aid for
widowed mothers, with a view TO its rec
ommending the best and wisest legisla-

PLEA FOR RELIGIOUS PEACE
DR.. silverman Says Churches
Should Cease Warfare.

How Can Judaism. Catholicism and
Professionalism Best Benefit Humanity?
was the subject Of the sermon delivered
yesterday by the Rev. DR.. Joseph Silver
man, in the Temple EMANUEL He depre-
Gated missionary work Of any kind as
analogous TO wars of conquest among the
nations, and asserted that the three great
religions of the civilized world must set
an example of peace to political powers by
abandoning their proselytiZing campaigns.
I'VE are now face to face with the para
mount ISSUE" said DR.. SilyerInan, whether
Judaism, Catholicism and Professionalism
are content to go on further as rival in
stitutons, each fighting for its own exist
ence, to the detriment OF humanity at
large, or whether they are ready to con-
slider the vital question, How can they best
benefit humanity?'
"The first desideratum for greater eff
cacy on the part of Judaism, Catholicism
and Professionalism is for each to recognize
the rights of the others to exist, and to
grant that the others also nave merits
that entitle them to recognition. The time
is past when any one religion can claim
to have a monopoly of the whole truth
Science has discovered not only the law
of evolution, but [ 2 fact that IL itself Is
subject to that law.
I'm view Of these great questions that
affect humanity and cry out to heaven for

great religions TO be still carrying on acri-
monious theological contentious and perse-
cutting one another? Does it not seenT In
congruous TO modern professions of re-
ligious liberty and tolerance for any in
dividual to still harbor religious prejudice?

ligion, which will judge a man, not by

first time in years, an automobile carry

through the ice half a mile from shore
this afternoon and sank in deep water.
A quarter of an hour afterward the three
occupants of the car were taken from
the water by a human chain formed by
skaters and carried to the Savin Hill
Yacht Club house, much the worse for
their experience.
The ice cracked in all directions as the
machine went through, and the widest
excitement prevailed as the skaters, who
had gathered about the course the racers
marked out, scattered in fright. The
other machine which was behind, barely
escaped a similar fate. but its driver
managed to skim the edges of the clear
water. The rescued are:
Arthur Coombs, owner and driver OF
the machine, of No. 174 Gramphian Way,
Dorchester.
Mrs. Caroline Lee, OF No. 247 Savin
Hill avenue.
Kenneth Metcalf, of No. 81 Raven
street, Dorchester.
The race was a result of an argument
Coombs had with a neighbor, John r.
Macbeth also Of Gramphian Way. as to
the merits OF their cars. The upshot
was that the men took their cars on the
oil N
Commercial Point and back again. n

only one passenger. George McCurdy,

The start was witnessed by hundreds
of skaters Although the surface was
none too smooth, the racers made a fast
run 10 Commercial Point. There the
cars turned warily, Coombs getting his
machine away in the lead, but with
Macbeth trailing right behind.

Coombs and Metcalf, both Of whom are
members of the yacht club and strong
swimmers. tried to save Mrs. Lee. She
was held up by her skirts. and they
reached her before she went under. In
the mean time the skaters had scattered
and Macbeth was having trouble with
his car.
The two men managed TO catch a
