RESOURCES OF POTOMAC.
Need of Improving River to Cumber-
land, Md, is Made Apparent.

Word pictures Of vast natural re-
sources lying dormant in the regions
along the upper Potomac because OF
the lack of transportation facilities
were painted at hearing Saturday IN
Washington. The hearing was grant
ed to obtain facts as to whether it
would be advisable to make a survey
Of the Potomac river from this city {
Cumberland, Md, with a view to max
ing this stream navigable. Among
those who spoke was ]. T. Preston,
secretary of the Alexandris Chamber
of Commerce.
Mr.. Preston asserted that those
from Alexandria only came to the
hearing to listen, but that Alexandra
people were in sympathy with any
movement to open the river. Colonei
Langftt suggested that the Aiexan-
dria people particularly were interest
ed in the matter of bringing goods
down the river for transShipment at
Alexandria to seagoing vessels, Mr. v;
Preston said that was correct.
Colonel Langfitt declared, after the
hearing, that he intended to have in
terested parties got their data on the
matter into his Office as quick as pos
sible, so that he could make an early
report TO the chief of engineers.
Hearings we're given at Cumberlant

IT MAY COME LATER.
Those Who Would Bring About
Change Termed "Jesuits in Dis
guise," and Snakes in The Grass"

Washington, May 12.-Admission
that an election Of delegates indicates
that the general convention of the
PROTESTANT Episcopal Church will re-
fuse to change The name of the
church is made in a statement by
the Rev. C. Ernest Smith, rector
of ST. Thomas parish, and leader in
the diocese of Washington of the
high church party. But the change
will come sooner or later, adds Mr..
Smith, who points to the growth of
ritualism and cercmonialism in the
church as evidence OF the steady
growth of his party.
Mr.. Smiths interview is in reply
to the Rev. Randolph McKim, rec
tor of the Church of the Epiphany,
commenting on the action of the dio
cesar convention here last week. Incl
dentally, Mr. Smith points out shat
Epiphany, a notably low church par
ish, has made some concessions to
the development of ceremoniaism in
recent years.
"This whole movement" says Mr..
Smith. "to change the name of the
church, grows out of a change that
has come in the church herself-a
change SO great hal not ~n- ol It's
opponen:s has escaped its influence.
They have all felt that influence and
acknowledged its power.
CDR McKim himself has bowed
to its authority. He has in his
church, among other innovations, a
surplicsd choir. More than fifty years
ago surpliced choir in the church OF
the Epiphany probably would have
caused a riot, as the sigh: of one GER
tainlv actually did in many places
elsewhere; nay, even tne sight OF a
clergyman preaching in a surpllce IN
stead of black gown was wont to
stir congregations 10 their depths.
ga late bishop of Virginia waHed
valian:, in fight whenever he saw
some of Gods flowers on the altar.
CoIorcd stoles. until quite recently,
wer the "ribbons of mans millinery .
A cross standing on the altar was an
abonaination of desolation, standing
where it ought not. For wardens and
vestrymen reverently to stand while
the aims were being presented was
departure from the church's best rra-
ditions; the proper thing was for
them to turn their packs on the
whole business.
"The clergy who countenanced
these things were results in dis
guise,' Snakes in the grass 'emlss-
aries of Satan,' 'serpents whose heads
it was devoutly hoped. God would
crush (I am quoting from the
Episcopal charges to the clergyD
Mr.. Smith ends with prophecy OF
ultimate and not long distant victory
with respect to the change of name
of the church.
"When that day comes" he says,
"and IT will be at no distant day, in
our Judgment, it will come with prac-
tically the unanimous consent OF
the church, and then the present op-
position to that change will seem
lust as curious, just as pathetlc, as
the opposition of few years ago to
surpliced choirs, flowers nthe altar,
and choral service does to US today
