 Rector, Rev. pr. Moore

The. Rev Dr. R. F. Moore, pastor of Sacred Heart church, read the aTl- nuaI report of the parish Sunday at all the masses. It was a complete statement of all the receipts and ex- penditures and proved very satisfac- tory to all who heard it. There was $6.000 paid on the mortgage and in addition, the sum of $3,O0o was ex-s pendeds for permanent improvements These two items made net amount of. $s;oo0 above the running expenses of the parish.
 Dr. Moore stated that tentative plans were being prepared for the renova- ton of the entire church and a be- ginning would be made sometime dur ing the year if conditions warranted it. He thanked the trustees. stlie members of the choir, the collectors and all the parishioners for their gen- erous cooperation during the year
 Speaking of the spiritual and moral status of the parish, he had reason to congra tulate the people of the parish which evidenced much their spiritual condition. Over thirteen thousand had received holy communion since September 1st. This is indeed re- markabIes'' Dr. Moore said. fThe fre- quent reception of the Sacraments is
 
 will continue and Gods blessings will be with every family in the parish"
 w hen reading the regulations of the parish he commented upon marriages by quoting the doctrine and discip- line respecting the sacramental con- tract Of a marriage.
 ; Dr. Moore is reviving the league of the Sacred Heart and expects that in numbers and spirit it will be, in time, one of the largest leagues in the dio-. cese.s This is, as it should he, since the parish is that Of the Sacred Heart.s He has z2 promoters appointed from tlIe various sections " i1o VIII Ea ts OIL this great spiritual work ssi

FLOOD SUBSIDIES: REFUGEES RETURN
 TO THEIR HOMES

Cumberland, Md, Jan 16-Reas- sured that the worst of the flood which swept down the Stony Greek and upper Potomac valleys yesterday as a result of the breaking of the great dam of the West Virginia Pulp 6 Paper Company at Dobbin, w Va Is over, the hundreds of refugees who fled to the hills upon the first warn Ing. began to return to their homes early today.
 Although thousands of persons were 1mperilled, it is believed the prompt action of the pulp and paper com pany's employees in sending out warn ing Of impending danger throughout the valley enabled all in the danger zone to escape.
 Officials here estimate the damage at $200.00o, the greater loss being to railroad property. The telegraph operator at Schel stuck to his post, flashing warnings in all directions un- til he heard the noise of the on-rush- ing waters. It was feared he had been lost but he turned up safe at Cum berland later in the day.
 No damage was done by rising wa teT's at Piedmont, w. Va, the largest place in the line of the flood and the people here who had fled to higher in the night.
 Hundreds of laborers are at work restoring the washed out tracks and embankmenfS of the Western Mary land Railroad which suffered severe damage to it's West Virginia division. It IS expected that traffic will be re- sume6 tomorrow.

 BY MARSH WILL
TORN $I BILL MAKES TROUBLE
 FOR HOWELL

The details connected with the trcl- ley car controversy on Main street recently resulting in John KrIzshak, Jr-, sending in a communication to the police board, last night, accusing Special Policeman Alexander Howell of ,unseem1y conduct were the Basis of preliminary Investigation tooay and the explanation of Superintendent Charles H. Chapman of the Connecti- cut Co. and Policemen Howell shed an altogether different light on the case. Superintendent Chapman said that he received a written complaint from MT. Kruzshak concerning the in- cldent, but that a $1 bill instead of a $10 was the basis of contention then. According to his Information the con- ductor's refusal to accept 1t was on. account of its being torn in two. He says that Howell did not t.butt in, but was called on by the conductor, the same as any special policeman would be called on in case, of trouble.
 Howell says that he has never rid den on the cars of the company ex- cepting when paying nickel, the same as others. and simply did, this time, what he considered to be his duty. He says that Kruzshaik, report ed by Stfperinfendent Chapman as formerly being @ trolley enp1oye and whose actions had. been reported a number of times to him by conduc-1 tors. argued strenuously about the bill he accepted To avoid further trouble, Howell says he changed 8 bill for Kruzshak, so that he would have two $1 bills and be enabled to. give the conductor one that wasn't torn. He feels that the communfca- tfon was entirely unjust and intends to have the matter thoroughly probed.
