WOULD END DELAYS
OVER NEW PARKWAY
Senator Salisbury Hopes to
Tack Resolution on Appro-
priation Measure.

Senator Salisbury Of Delaware said
today that he hopes to be able to add
his joint resolution introduced in the
Senate January 8. which makes GER
tain provisions for the connecting park
way proposed between Rock Creek and
Potomac parks, to one Of the appro-
priation bills at the present session OF
Congress.
Senator Salisbury is Of the opinion
that the resolution, which provides
$4,000 for beginning the work on the
connecting parkway authorized in the
public buildings and grounds act OF
March 4. 1913, may properly be added
to this years sundry civil appropria-
tion bill.
Now in Committee.
The resolution, which was referred to
the committee on public buildings and
grounds Of the Senate, is now in that
committee, awaiting action by the con-
posed Of the Secretaries of War. Agri-
culture and the Treasury. Senator
Salisbury said that he understands
that the members of the commission
are favorable to the resolution. and
that as soon as there is a little breath
ing space in the work of the Senate he
intends to ask the commission to hold
q meeting to approve the resolution;
AS soon as 1t Is approved. 1t was salo
today at the Senate committee on pup
lie buildings and grounds. it viii un-
doubtedly be favorably reported out OF
that committee.
Actual Work Not Started.
Although Congress passed the law
providing for the connecting parkway
between Potomac, Geological and Rock
Creek parks nearly two years ago, the
physical work of making the connec-
ton has not yet been begun for the
reason that the authorization carried
with it no appropriation, and it is said
at the Department Of Justice that
money will be absolutely necessary to
the extent Of at least $4,000 before
any further steps can be taken toward
acquiring the land titles involved:
Three attorneys Of the Department OF
Justice. Mr.. Strickland. Mr.. Beach and
now Henry H. Classic, have had charge
Of the matter of acquiring the titles
from time to time. Mr.. Classic having
recently taken up the land title work
of the department in succession to
Morgan H Beach. Mr.. Classic said to-
day that he Is perfectly willing to go
ahead with the work as soon as Con-
gress provides money for the prelimi-
nary work of obtaining titles. Alb
stracts must be made by title compa-
MES, he said, they being in possession
Of records which the Department Of
Justice has not.

cations Adopts Reso-
luton.

CHICAGO, January Plat its closing
session here today the Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations adopted a
resolution indorsing President Wilson's
attitude on the European war. Members
of the executive board of the union
were elected.
I'VE have relinquished all expecta-
ton of a rebirth of Jewish nationality
and a restoration Of a Jewish state"
declared Rabbi David Philipson of Gin
cinnati in an address yesterday. This
union, constituted as it is on religious
basis, is the embodiment of the inter-
preta ation of Judaism, by what is popu-
larly known as the reform movement.

this country, Isaac NJ. Wise. David Elm

and their cotemporaries, and we, their
successors, stress the religious note as
all predominating.
community Is a religious people, set
apart in the outworking historic forces
to be a priest people. demonstrating by
Its remarkable experiences throughout
strength. but by the spirit Of God, has
1t persisted and prevailed.
Destruction Providential.
THE destruction of the Jewish state
by the Romans and the accompanying
cessation of Jewish national existence
we look upon as providential; We have
relinquished all expectation of re-
birth of Jewish nationality and resto-
ration of Jewish state. In our view
Judaism is not a policy of statecraft,
but a religion; the Jew as Jew Is fol-
lower of that religion; the Jewish COM
munity is a religious body.
''As such. then, we stand, religious
organization, bound by thousand ties
to our great historic past, but not per-
mitting the dead hand of that past to
bar the progress of the present, recog-
nizing the continuity of Gods revela-
ton in the ages as they pass and In
terpreting our Judaism in the light of
a universal religion for all lands and
not national religion for one land.
Urges Great Organization.
ut would appear that this union
should once again take the initiative
that great need of American Jewish
Aye. not only in American Jewish life,
but in international Jewish life. Such
an American organization would
doubtless lead to similar associations
in other lands and finally into an IN
ternational organization, which would
represent Jewish interests on all nee
essary occasions Such an occasion will
present ITSELF for example. at the close
of the present murderous war now In

ADD|NGTON RESUMES
BASE BALL ARGUMENT
Feds Chief Counsel Calls Players
Contract a Mere Scrap
Of Paper.

CHICAGO. January 21.-The players
contract was called a mere scrap of
paper by Keene H. Addington. the
Federal League chief counsel. resum
ing his argument before Judge Landis
today in the antitrust suit against
organized base ball.
Addington declared there was no real
modification of relations between clubs
and players despite changes in the
option section of contracts and the
elimination from some of the ten-day
clauses. which have been made within
the last year or two.
The contracts were changed, but
the national agreement and the prac-
tices under which organized ball con-
ducts it's business were not" he said.
The player thinks he gets something
in this contract and Its changes; he
gets nothing. The contract Is designed
for use in court: the national agree
ment and the rules of the national COM
mission still govern the game"

Other Questions at Issue.

Among the other questions that came
up were the possibility that a number
Of graves in Oak Hill cemetery might
be disturbed, If tho lines of the pre-
liminary map were exactly followed.
and the possibility that great hardship
would be worked upon the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal. the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and the Georgetown Gas
Company.
In these circumstances. engineers and
counsel. representing the various in
terests. held consultation with the
District surveyor. the Secretaries of
war and Agriculture and the Treasury,
as well as Department of Justice Of
fcials, with the result that the COM
mission OF fine arts was asked to ap-
prove a new map. which has now be-
come the standard, and Is known as the
Designed to End Difficulties.
The resolution introduced by Senator
Salisbury is intended to straighten out
these difficulties. Senator Salisbury
said today that he thinks it is alb
surd that Washington should have
such fine parks without connections
between them, and hopes that Congress
will pass the resolution at the present
session, so that work may be done in
accordance with the act Of Congress of
two years ago.
The resolution. in brief. provides that
the connecting parkway commission
shall have power in it's discretion 20
SO amend the map on file in the office
OF the Engineer Commissioner of the
District of Columbia. which Is the map
alluded to as being on file in the
District surveyors Office, as to ex-
clude lands not needed and to include
lands needed for the execution of the
plan for the said parkway. which has
been approved by the commission of
nne arts. 1t is provided, however, that
the total area Of lands finally to be
acquired for said parkway shall not
exceed the area authorized to be ac-
quired by the act of March 4, 1913.
The resolution further provides that
the connecting parkway commission
be authorized to settle and compromise
all questions and controversies between
the United States and adverse claim
ants Of titles to lands within or ad-
5acent to the area desired for the park
