GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE.
Death Of Christ Commemorated in
Oakland Churches.

The death of The Christ was COM
memorated in the st. Peters Catholic
church and in st. Matthew's Episcopal
church, this city lastFriday. For the first
time in the history of Oakland the day
was generally observed. From II clock
noon to 8 p. m. all the business houses
and saloons of the town were closed.
The services in st. Matthew's church
were undenominatlonal and in charge
of the Rector, Rev. Shearer The
services were divided into period of Is
minutes each. One might attend any
of these periods and retire at pleasure.
During the three hours of the Passion
Services" large numbers of people at
tended the services which were full of
interest and greatly enjoyed.
At night the sacrament of our Lord s
supper was administered IN the Metho-
dist church. This service was also
largely attended. DR.. Moore, the
pastor, was assisted by District Super
lntendent Reed. This was a solemn
service, but very impressive.
The services at st. Peters church
were of much interest to the Catholic
portion of the city. Good Friday is
one of the great days in the church life
of this denomination and is always well
attended. Good Friday of 1914 will be
joyfullY remembered by many of our
citizens as one of the "red letter days"
of their life.

FISH HATCHERY
FOR MARYLAND
Provisions Made in bill Reported
FavorabIY. "A Big Experimental
Plant.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April TO-
Provisions for the establishment in
Maryland of a special fishery estab-
lishment, which will be the only one of
its kind in the whole country, is made
in an omnibus fish-hatchery bill that
was favorably reported to the House
late Yesterday afternoon by Represen-
tative Faison, of North Carolina, from
the Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries.
The bill appropriates $3.50, 900 for the
establishment of this Maryland fishery
experimental plant and for Is other
fishery plants in as many states. In
the other states the plants will be the
usual sort of fish hatchery and cultural
plant. They were to cost $50, 900 each
as starter. But in Maryland the plant
instead of being fish hatchery, will be
devoted to the study of diseases and
problems in connection with the propa-
cation of fish and $40, 900 is the initial
sum recommended for the establish
ment of this plant. The bill does not
attempt to fix the location of the plant,
but leaves that to the discretion of
Secretary Redfeld.
The Maryland project is based on the
provisions of bill introduced by Rep
resentative Frank o. Smith, of the
Fifth Maryland district. The report
filed today contains letter from Sec
rotary Redfield, of the Department of
Commerce, stating that the proposal to
establish an experimental station for
the study of fish diseases and fish prop
agation,' as provided for in the Smith
bill is strongly Endorsed.
In his letter favoring this Maryland
station Secretary Redfeld said: Fish
culture has reached such high degree
of perfection in the United States,
and the magnitude of the operations as
whole leaves little to be desired.
There is, however, much room for eff
fective work in fish culture similar to
that conducted in animal and plant in
dustry, at agricultural experimental
stations, and one of the greatest needs
of the service is an experimental station
for the study of fish diseases and the
propagation of fish breeding.
The matter of improving the food
and game qualities of fishes by selec-
tive breeding is a subject to which
practically no attention has yet been
given in this country. but the POSSIBLE
ties are all using the project is well
worthy of support from Congress in
view of the great improvements that
have been produced in domestic ami
mails and plants by the application of
scientific methods.
The serious aspect of disease among
cultivated fishes has frequently been
set forth in the Bureau of Fisheries re-
ports and brought directly to the at
tention of Congress. An experimental
station would, no doubt, pay for itself
every year IN the actual money value
of fish saved that are now lost at the
Matching stations all over the country
because of lack of knowledge of the
proper means for preventing and cur
ing the various destructive maladies to
which domesticated or semi-domesti-
Gated fish are liable"

New York, April 14.-The pennant
races of the National and American
leagues, the major organizations of or
gained baseball, start this afternoon
With the coming Of the Federal
league a big change has taken place
in the baseball situation since the last
opening, but the newcomer as yet oc
cupies an undetermined position.
Presidents Tener and Johnson OF
the National and American leagues
have made statements that the pres
ent season promises to eclipse any
previous ones in interest and at
tendance. The managers of the differ
ent organizations feel satisfied with
the results of the training trip in the
south and the teams start off today
with the best wishes of their admirers
in the different cities.
Trades during the winter and the
raids of the Federals have altered the
outlook so far as it bears on several
of the clubs concerned in the fights
for major supremacy in 1914.
Greater New York's opening
emotions will be divided into three
parts. While the fans of Manhattan
are flocking to the Polo grounds, those
of Brooklyn will be crowding Ebbets

SEES VICTORY FOR
REUNITED PARTY
Senator Cummins Calls Republicans
True Progressives.

! At Chicago United States Senator
Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, in an ad-
dress Thursday night, criticised the
Democratic administration, defined his
stand on the Tolls Repeal Bills, pro-
nounced the Republican party the true
progressives and blamed the Republican
National Committee for the Democratic
victory of 1912. He was the chief
speaker at the Appomattox Day cele-
bration of the Hamilton Club. Demo-
cratic defeat at the next national ele-
ction, Senator Cummins predicted,
would be effected by Republicans and
progressives united as the Republican
party and embracing a platform for
progressive doctrines.
In dealing with the records of the
Democratic administration, Senator
Cummins declared it unnecessary to
speak of Congress. THE President
has, for the time being, obliterated
that ancient and once powerful depart
ment Of the government, he said
"When therefore, | speak of the
Democratic administration, | mean
Woodrow Wilson. The overthrow of
Representative government does not
seem to have excited alarm, but the
day will come when the country will
understand better than it does now
how vital it is to preserve independ-
ence of legislative authority.
"The President passed the tariff law.
The Republican tariff of 1909 was too
high. We ought to have reduced it,
but we did not. and are now suffering
the consequences of our folly
The Panama tolls exemption repeal
probably will pass the Senate, ac-
cording to Senator Cummins. There
are two entirely distinct and indepen-
dent questions involved in this con-
troyersy," he said. THE first con-
Germs domestic policy and with it no
foreign nation has right to interfere
and we would be craven people if we
permitted even the suggestion of inter-
ference.
That is. if we had no treaty obi
cations, is it wise. is it fair to the
whole country to give coastwise boats
free passage through the canal? NV
answer is no. | believe these ships
ought to pay their just proportion of
the expense of maintaining and op-
Grating the canal.
"The second question concerns our
rights under the treaty. To that |
would say there is nothing in the treaty,
nothing in the understanding of the
treaty at the time it was made, that in
any way restricts or limits our absolute
sovereignty in this ragard. and the man
who is willing to accept the construction
asserted by Great Britain or Yield to
the still more ignominious Interpretation
involved in asserting to the demand
made by the President, is willing to pay
higher price for the friendship of
that country than | am willing to pay
for the favor of the whole world"
The Republican defeat of 1912.
Senator Cummins declared, had been
the result of failure of some of the
leaders to head the voice of the rank
and file of the party.
1--WE suffered defeat and disaster"
he said, because some of the men
clothed with the power of office refused
to grapple with their problems.
The unfair, UNJUST representation
of the South, and the overthrow of the
primary laws were two of the great
factors Nhich brought about the disin-
tegration which followed"
