"All in ALL" declared Coach Tenney this
morning. 1.-The season was fully as sue
cessful as any We have ever had at the Y.
M. c. A. The number of records broken
and the number equaled are particularly
gratifying, while the interest of all Y.
NJ. C. A. members in the contests was
almost without precedent. The contests
have had the result of developing some
first-class talent. out of which a track
team can now be constructed that will
prove to be a formidable contestant
against any one
Coach Tenney intimated that he was
now engaged in building up such a track
team.

DEEPER CHANNEL FOR AQUA.
More Powerful Dredge Is to BE Put
on the Work.

Dredging operations in Aqua creek,
which have been in progress throughout
the winter, will be pushed with additional
vigor during the spring and summer
months in order to get the creek chan
nels deepened as soon as possible. 1t is
stated that where the dredge employed
in the work has been digging the bottom
has been found very hard and progress
has necessarily been slow.
A larger and more powerful mud dig
ger is to be brought from Norfolk within
the next two or three weeks. to be put on
the work, which is then expected to go
ahead rapidly. 1t is proposed to dredge
the channels in Aqua creek to a depth of
seven fest on low water, SO that ves-
sells can get in and out without difficulty.
Quantities of cord wood, railroad ties and
lumber are shipped out of Aqua creek to
this city, Baltimore. Philadelphia and
elsewhere, and the waterway is becoming
one of the most important tributaries of
the Potomac. Each season several large
barges load railroad ties at Cole landing,
near the head OF the creek, for Philadel-
phia and New York.

Lesson of the Disaster.

Rev. Frank Sewall of the New Church
deHvered a sermon on the lessons
taught by the recent floods. taking for
his text 'The Floods Lift Up Their
Voice-the :. erd Is Mightier Than the
Noise of Many Waters" He said that
under the providence of God even evil
and disaster are permitted, but only to
prevent greater disasters. We are ruled
with a view to the greater good in the
far-off, he said.
Over the noise Of the waters Of doubt
and of denial and above the emotions
OF sympathy and sorrow this voice of
the loving Father of all is mighty and
is heard" he continued. 1.-The testimony
of the Lord is sure abiding forever
the only surety and consolation to which
man can reach"

BROKEN Al Y. N. c. A.
That Many Marks Surpassed
and Three Others EquaIed
in Gym Contests.


Oficial summaries Of the two series Of
indoor athletic contests conducted on the
Y NJ c. A. gym floor every Wednesday
night since last fall, were issued today
by w. W. Tenney, assistant physical di-
rector Of the Y. NJ. c. A. and coach OF

Winners Of the first three places in the
first series were declared to be Lassley,

gible for prizes or for official recognition
if they took top places in the second. but
the points made by them in both series

Sorrow and Sympathy.


Rev. w. V. Tudor, pastor of the Mount
Vernon Place NJ. e. Church., took the
Ohio foods as his text. He declared
that a wave of sorrow and sympathy
deep and wide as the overflowing
waters of the Miami and the Scioto riv-
ers" rolled over the entire country last
week.
Continuing, he said:
Suppose We that the Inhabitants Of
Dayton and Columbus and other towns
were sinners above all others of the
land because they suffered such
things? Guided by Jesus interpreta-
ton of God, we say nay, or Wash

the jaws Of the devouring deluge. But
nevertheless, Jesus does give con-

Cyclone and Flood Visitation.

The cyclone and floods in the middle
west do not mean that God is cruel, but
that We have not mastered the problem
of protection, according to Rev. W. ].
Frizzell, at the Ingram Memorial Church.
A number Of lessons can be drawn from
the terrible catastrophes, he declared
He continued:
Because accidents and disasters are SO
numerous We must plan to avoid them.
There is danger that the foundations we
build will not support the superstruc-
lures that We put upon them; that the
bridges will not carry the engines. and
rail spikes withstand the strain of hur-
rying trains.
Men are to blame for building their
cities where the water can wash them
away. We are paying heavy penalties
because We are not building our cities
as we ought. These renowned disasters
are danger signals to make US look out
for dangers ahead"

GLASS COMMITTEE
TO DELAY REPORT
Action Unlikely Unless Wilson
Urges Currency Reform at
Extra Session.

Unlike the Pujo Money trust inves.
tigating committee. the Glass subcom-
mittee of the House Banking Commit
tee, in its Investigation of currency re-
form and the Aldrich plan, will not re-
port to Congress at this session. This
was the opinion expressed today by
Chairman Carter Glass.
UNLESS President Wilson indicates
that he desires that currency reform
be taken up at the extraordinary ses-
sion of Congress, do not believe oui
committee will attempt to make any
report" said Glass.
The Pujo committee Is to present Its
Money trust findings about February
es. Its legislative life ends March T.
An effort probably will be made tc
continue that Inquiry next spring.
The Glass committee. however, has
two score more witnesses to hear. Its
work dovetails. Chairman Glass be
lieves, with that of the Pujo body.
Therefore, It is considered inadyisable
to attempt Recommendation OF currency
reforms unless the information should
be needed at the extra session.
