ST. MARY'S BELL
WILL RING AT c. i.
Founders Day to Be 0bserv-
ed With Special Ceremonies
at College Tomorrow.

The bell that summoned worshippers
nearly $50 years ago to the first church
established in the Maryland Colony at
old st. Mary's City will toll again to-
morrow evening in memory of the
founders of Georgetown University, with
whom its early associations historically
are linked.
Silenced for years, this bell has re-
posed for a hundred years or more, per-
hapS, in the archives at Georgetown
College Beyond the recorded fact that
it was placed in the belfry built for
the church of st. Mary's in 1852, there
is no other record in the archives to
tell its story.
At the founders day celebration at
Georgetown tomorrow Rev. Timothy j.
Barrett, s. j., will toll the bell in menu
DRY of the priests who pro projected
the first movement for the erection of
a college on the Potomac River, two
and half centuries ago.
The bell speaks with the voices Of
Andrew White and John Altham-Grav-
enor, the Jesuit chaplainS who accom-
panied the Lord Baltimore Colonists
under the leadership Of Leonard CAL
vert when the Arke and the Dove an
chored in Maryland waters on March
rs, 1884 For that reason, Georgetown
has proclaimed March IS as founders
day.
As early as 1910, the general Of the
Jesuit order in Rome, Mutius Vitel-
leschi, encouraged the two priests in
their efforts to establish a college on
the shores of the Potomac River. John
Carroll, first archbishop of Baltimore.
eventually succeeded in accomplishing
what they had planned.
Among other historic relics Of Colonial
Maryland, which win be placed on ex-
hibition for visitors in the Georgetown
archives tomorrow is piece of the tree
under which the first religious service
was held on March IS, 1884, when the
Arke and the Dove came to anchor on
Heron Island. The other relics are the
pewter chalice and a crude iron cross
used by Father White.
Few people in Washington realize
that the bell in Dahlgren Chapel at the
college also is intimately associated
with the early history of st. Mary's: 1t,
too, was taken from the city and given
in trust to the college.

HOUSE TO TAKE UP
MONEY BILL TODAY
District Appropriation Measure,
However, May Be Delayed
by Tariff Action.

The Districts unprecedented 1891 APP
preparation bill is expected to come up
for general discussion in the House late
today, although several legislative mat
tiers on the House calendar may delay
the debate.
Even though the discussion is started,
there is a likelihood that the bill will
be sidetracked when the conference re-
port on the tariff bill is taken UP by
the House. The conference report will
be given the right of way, and present
indications are that the House viii take
at least two days to dispose of it.
In view of the present program,
Chairman Simmons of the House sub
committee on appropriations said the
reading of the District bill likely would
not be started until Thursday. The
subcommittee, he declared, wants "clear
sailing" when it starts.
Both Mr.. Simmons and Representa-
tive Holiday of Illinois, another mem
Der Of the appropriations committee,
planned to speak at the conclusion Of
the reading Of the bill.

ROOSEVELT GROUP
REEVES MEMORIAL
Coliseum on Proposed Ave-
nue. of States Is Favored by
Board of Trade.

Interest in Washington in the plan
of the Roosevelt Memorial Association
to erect a great memorial here has been
revived with the annual report of the
association, published Saturday, in
which the matter is discussed along
with other interests Of the memorial
group.
The trustees of the association are
acting in conjunction with the Ma
tional Commission of Fine Arts and
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and have pledged them
selves to erection of the memorial at
such time as its form and location shall
be decided upon.
ID. C. Memorial Most Important.
The association indicated In its re-
port that 1t regarded the proposed me-
mortal in Washington as the most inn
portant of three established IN honor of
the former President The Washington
Board of Trade several years ago sug-
gested that the memorial take the form
Of great coliseum at the east end of
East Capitol street, near AnacoStia,
pointing out that the structure might be
made to connect with the Capitol by the
proposed Avenue of States and at the
same time serve as an eastern approach
to the Capital.
At the instance of the trade body the
Allied Architects of Washington pre-
pared 10 drawings Of a coliseum and it
is the plan to submit three of these
drawings to the association for APP
prevail. While the association did not
indicate preference for a memorial
form, the trade body will continue its
advocacy of the coliseum and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission Is known to favor the suggeS-
ton.
Hope TO Include Bridges.
Officials interested in the proposed
coliseum hope that the plan might en-
body the projection of bridges over
Kingman Lake and the Eastern branch
of the Anacostia River. Proponents of
the plan feel that the establishment of
such a coliseum, to seat 100000 and be
available for athletics as well as ma
tional gatherings, would give the city a
better proportion and tend to Offset any
tendency to develop only the northwest
section.
The proposed avenue of the States
contemplateS a boulevard extending
from the Capitol to the river lined with
buildings to represent each OF the 48
States.
The two other memorial projects of
the association are the oyster Bay Park
and National Roosevelt Library at
Roosevelt Park. 1t is estimated that
the cost Of the proposed coliseum would
be $4,000, 900 and the hope is that the
Federal Government may share the ex-
pense of erection.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With one-quarter of million dollars
already spent, Secretary Hurley believes
1t may be necessary for the War De-
partment to ask an increased appro-
priation from Congress to complete q
survey OF the proposed right Of way for
a canal across Nicaragua.
Congress originally appropriated $780,
600 for the Nicaraguan survey. Secrc-
tary Hurley revealed today that the
Army had spent So. 1000 additional out
of its own funds to carry on the work
He said the Board of Engineers has
asked $1,000 additional, making a total
of 100000 used from Army funds to
carry on work authorized by Con-
greSS.
Climatic conditions, rain, tropical
winds and heavy underbrush were given
as reasons for the heavy expenditure
above the original estimated sum.
The survey proper began last Octo-
Der. Secretary Hurley said he was I'M
able to estimate how much longer il
would take.
