NEW YORK, April 9.-Police pre-
cautions were taken today at the
first services.in the new Park avenue
BAPTIST church to guard John d.
Rockefeller. Jr.. whose presence in
the congrega ton, it was feared, might
attract the crirninally inclined.
The edifice cost more than $780,.
000 and will take the place Of the
Fifth avenue Baptist church in which
the RoclSefellers have worshiped for
years. The elder Rockefeller is still
in the south.
His son, who is leader of the Bible
class. said he was surprised at the
bodyguard assigned him. not thinking
it would be necessary for the depart
ment to look after him at church.
All persons entering the building
were carefully serutinized and the
vigilance was continued until Mr.
Rockefeller had finished his address
to the Bible class and left for home
with his wife and four children.
After the morning service members
of the congregation crowded around
Mr.. Rockefeller and congratulated
him for the part he and his father
had taken in bringing the erection of
the building to completion. Eleva-
tors are one of its features.
Mr.. Rockefeller told the Bible class
that one thing above all others he
admired his father for was that in
the great business he had built UP he
applied the principle of sticking 70
that business and building it up. He
never has attempted to go into a
thousand other undertakings in which
he has been offered so many attract
i've opportunities
WASHINGTON, April s.-Definite
steps toward double tracking"
the North Pacific ocean to avoid dan
gers OF congested steamship traffic
have been taken by the photographic
office of the navy department. Co
operation of the Japanese, Canadian
and Birth naval and steamship au-
thorities has been sought. it was
learned today, and data is being ac-
cumulated on which a decision final
ly win be made possible in the near
future.
The project conteYnplates mapping
out the most favorable courses from
North Pacific ports on this side to
Japan and return. westbcund and
eastbound traffic following prescribed
routes well separated from each other
as is done in the North Atlantic to
reduce the danger OF collisions at sea.
THE increasing traffic in the North
Pacific has made this question press
for an early solution" Captain F. B.
Bassett, photographer of the navy
and head OF the photographic office,
said today.
Accordingly in September, 1921,
the photographic office wrote to
number of the best known mariners
trading in the Pacific between Seat
tie and Vancouver and the Japan
islands. 1t has received responses
from most of these mariners giving
heir actual experience which in some
eases covers so years of seagoinS in
chose waters.
I'm all cases the mariners report
that it is very desirable to establish
such lanes due to the increa sing traf-
, fic anc TO the prevalence of fog on
the route which introduces grave

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Levia-

doughboys TO and from European
battlefields, today was ploughing the
Atlantic, bound for Newport News.
Va. to be convented into a palatial
American transatlantic liner.
Fog interfered with the sailing
schedule of the giant vessel. idle for
more than two years, and her skip
per. Captain w. J. Bernard, was
forced to cast. anchov when about
Owe miles off Ambrose channel. It
has nearly noon before the fog lifted
sufficiently to allow her to proceed
southvard.
Her departure was without incident
or ceremony. On account OF the
carly hour. comparatively few per-
so1s saw her great grey hull gliding
maiestically through the haze down
the Hudson. A few passing craft
opened their whistles in farewell
sslutes.
The Leviath3n's engines behaved
perfectly. She carried crew of 81.
Oft Quarantine. the Leviathan passed
the Rynham of the Holland Amer
ican line, inbound from Rotterdam.
The Ryndam's passengers leaned
over the rails ard cheered, the band
played the star Spangled Banner and
her colors were dipped The Levia-
thar dipped her flag in acknowledge
ment and a few moments later was
swallowed in the mist.
1t will take small army of work
men in the various shipyards more
than two years to put the Leyiathan
into condition again.
