MRS. HENDERSONIN
 z0N|NG VICTORY
Again Restricts Business From Area Of Foreign Embassies

Washington. March 4 UP.-Once again Mrs. John E. Henderson. ire quently referred 10 as the Dowacer of Embassy Row. has won her fight against the commercial inter tsts that seek to strip the purely residential atmosphere from a part Of Sixteenth street, one ot Wash ington's fashionable boulevards.
 Owing to her efforts the District of Columbia zoning commission yesterday rejected a petition by d group of business men to establish stores on the thoroushfare. In so doing it added another chapter to the stormy struggle that has been waEed over the street.
 Mrs. Henderson, widow Of Sona- tor Henderson Of Missouri, lives in a luxurious home known as The Castle at Sixteenth street and Florida avenue. For nearly q score Of years she has kept the street, on which many Of the expensive embassies of foreign nations are located. of a purely residential character.
 Several years ago, she built an expensive house not far from her own residence and offered it 10 congress as home for tho vice. president, which office then was held by Calvin Coolidge. Her offer. however, was declined anl the house has never been occupied,
 So ardent has Mrs. Henderson been in her efforts 10 keep intact the spacious thoroughfare. fringcd on both sides with rows of trees. that she has won the title of the DoWager of Embassy Row.

PRIEST PICTURES
 JUDGMENT 0F SOUL
Rev. Walter A. McCrann Con- tiDueS Series Of Lenten Sermons

St. Joseph's church was filled to Is capacity last night at the Len. ten deNotionS. Rev. Walter Me
 Cram delivered one of the most
 brilliant sermons so far in the Lem
 ten course. He chose as his sub
 lact Judgment After Death" and
 depicted graphically the death and
 Judgment Of a man. socially pron-
 rent but doomed by his own liv-
 ing. The man, a widowcr had il
 suite Of rooms in fashionable ho- tel and one night as he was din ing in the brilliantly lighted dining room at the hotel. death overt ook him and even before the attendants could carry him to his room, his heart had ceased 10 function and
 his soul was being judged. Here Father NcCrann pictured the scene of pigment. The soul is standing alone and suddenly he sees a figure approaching him. The figure seems familiar and he remembers he had seen such figure in the stained glass windows Of the church when he was a little boy. It is the figure of Christ but even more beautiful han an artist could ever portray him. He stands before the soul but has nothing 10 say. Then on His left a loathesome figure approaches nearer and nearer until it can al most touch tn" soul but yet dare not because that soul is not ye. judged. The loathesOme, unsightly figure is that of Lucifer and he speaks to Christ, telling Him that by all rights the soul belongs 10 him. He goes on to prove that what he says is the truth. Each commandment is mentioned and the soul has broken all of them. Then Lucifer brings witnesses who can prove that he is telling the truth and has every right 10 take | his soul back to hcl with him, First he brings forth a young girl,
 a girl who had once been innocent
 and pure but whose soul had been . damned through the evil influence
 pf this man who had money, social
 status and position.
 The next witness is his wife whom he has also damned because
 he was not true to the VOWS he took when he made her his wife. The third witness is his son, a young man who went down to the depths
 because he lacked the good innu-
 ence of a father and sought pleas

fore the tribunal was the daughter.
 In her youth she desired to give up the pleasures ot this world and be- come nun but her father would
 not hear Of it and chided her. Finally he drove her from home and she. too. took her pleasure
 where she found it, in the dance
 halls and dives and died an early
 death with her soul plunged into
 h.ll. These four witnesses point at
 the soul and accusing him tell him
 they have waited all these years to
 meet him. All this time, the soul
 says nothing because he is unable
 to speak.
 Next the angel speaks 10 Christ.

 best to save the soul but the soul
 would not heed and be saved. He
 told Of going with the soul every
 where, even to places where he (the angoD hid his eyes with his wings to shut out the awful scenes wit messed in some Of the places Of in- Iquity. He promises to try and do better with the next soul. Christ does not chide him but tells him he
 has done his best. Then the soul
 speaks at last and pleads for mercy.
 He asks if he can 20 back 10 earth
 for just l5 minutes but it is too
 late. Christ shows him hls misdceds
 written in the book Of judgment and finally the soul realizes he is doomed. not by the hand Of God but by his own iniquity. The judg- mont is over and the loathesomc figure comes near and gathering the soul to his breast utters q shriek of victory and flies with him to hell, changing the gates after him. There the soul will burn in anguish until the final judgment day, Father Me Cram said.

PROGRESS AT THE
 RIVERSIDE MINE

Work at the Riverside mine is now being devoted to break down ore in preparation for the renewal of milling operat- ions the latter part of this month and to extending the No. 8 upraise from the third to the fourth, or upper level. The raise was up 55 feet Sat urday and had encountered what appears to be the down. ward extension of the fine ore body located in No 4 level some months ago. The raise has about 40 feet to go before reaching the 4th level and is expected to penetrate ore all the way to it's destination.
 Mill superintendent M. J. St. Clair and his staff are also getting the mill in shape to start at the earlies date poss- ible. The present outlook is that the concentrator will be- come active again between April 25 and May 1st.

FINE ORE IN
 WooDBINE TUNNEL

A display of ore from the new tunnel on the Woodbine group was brought into town by Hugh B. Mcclure last week and created something of a sensation in mining circles be- fore being packed for ship ment to the company head quarters in Vancouver Sunday.
 The tunnel, which is now in 65 feet, has cut through a large body of good milling ore from it's inception. Recent ly, however, change to ore of high grade character be- came apparent and the tunnel now displays full face of ore much of which is of the "jew- elry store" variety, showing heavy naturalization and in cluding a marked display of argentite, chalcopyrite and gray copper. No assays having been made as yet, the values carried are not determined, but an inspection of the sam, ples leaves no doubt as to the ore being of more than com mon value. The face of the tunnel is still some distance from the point where it is ex- pected to tap cross vein of ore carrying high values. This vein is the present objective of the tunnel.
 The company is preparing to let contract for an exten. sion of the upper or No. 2 tunnel, situated 700 feet above the road and at somewhat greater distance above the level where the new find was made. The upper tunnel is te be run on a huge body of ore which promises to develop in, to an ore resource of great value.

RAILWAY PROPOSAL DISCUSSED AT
 JOINT MEETING

JOINT MEETING ,I Construction of railroad from the Peace River section of Canada to tidewater on Portland Canal was the sub- ject of an Illuminating dis cussion by representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the Stewart Board of Trade at meeting of the lat ter organization in Stewart Tuesday evening. The Hyder delegation attended in re. sponse to an invitation of the Board of Trade to jointly dis cuss the project, with view to furthering it's ultimate de- velopment.
 With president Cameron, of the Stewart Board of Trade presiding, and with the hall crowded to near capacity, H. w. M. Rolston, publisher of the Portland anal News, dis cussed the various proposed outlets from the Peace River section to the Pacific and show ed by a government report on the several routes, compiled by engineers of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways, that the Stewart route is not only 300 miles shorter than other available routes but also presents no engineering difficulties, owing to following valley floors prac-. tically throughout it's length. MT. Rolston pointed out at length that the Stewart route possessed various other ad- vantages as compared to other proposed routes. In addition to providing the shortest out let for the entire Peace Riv- CT section, railway to Stew art would also penetrate vast mineralized area in the Omineca district and make ac- cessible the valuable coal de- posits of the Ground-hog sec ton. ~
 Quoting from government reports, MT. Rolston said the Peace Liver country contains 812 million acres of land which would become productive if provided with cheap trans portation. According to the engineering estimates quoted, the cost of a direct line from the Peace to Stewart, would be $30,000,O0O. As denoted by statements during a recent debate in the House of Con- mons, one of the objections raised against this route is an alleged lack of freight re- sources along it's western ex- tensions. As expressed by one MT. James, c. N. R. engineer, before a committee of the House, mo freight would be available west of the Rocky Mountains unless some one finds mine" This view, the speaker contended, was er- roneous, as it failed to take into account the mineral, tim Der, coal, iron, and land re- sources known to exist along the route, all of which would be made accessible to develop ment. Also it failed to take into consideration that devel- opment of the road with a ter minal at Hyder would provide Alaska with transcontinental rail connections and open a new avenue for commerce to and from that territory.
