All were very much impressed with the and room for addition al activities at the government station. As there is no drydock at present of sufficient to accommodate the re cently launched battleships it has been, deemed that the Navy Department will soon have' to consider'' the construction of a larger one. It is for this -reason that many of the active business men and citizens of the city started a movement to bring the dock here.

The large fresh water basin at League Island is offered, as one of the claims that the yard has io the drydock. Councilman Lennon declared yesterday: ''Fifteen years ago. as publisher and! member, of the kx-al business men's asso ciation. I enlisted in the cause of the Navy Yard. I have taken part in many conferences, meetings and visits to Wash ington, but I consider the presentdescent upon the Capital the opening4f the most important epoch in the yard's his tory.

"We have at last succeeded in committing the city, officially, to the cause. It is the first time a Mayor has shown such interest in the yard and never before had sugh influential citizens putting aside their important private concerns for the good of the public. Such an example is really inspiring and should be an incentive to others to manifest like spirit. "You can rest assure! that this is simply the beginning of a determined propa- ganda for the improvement and development of the j-ard- the largest, -as it will be eventually, themost important of all government naval stations."

-o REFORM ASSOCIATION CALLS Will Urge Legislature to Consider Uniform Divorce Laws, Civil Sabbath and Public Schools A call has been issued for a State convention to be held at Harrisburg February 27 and 28 under the general direction of the National Reform Association. Four subjects of immediate im- portance becau.e of the progressing session of the Legislature will be considered, namely, uniform divorce, civil Sabbath, public schools and temperance. The calls bears the signatures of J. S. Martin, general superintendent, and Rev.

Dr. T. P. Stevenson, corresponding secretary. National Reform Association; W.

I. Wishart, president, and T. D. Edgar, secretary, Pennsylvania State National Reform Association; Rev. Dr.

Rev. Dr. E. Trumbull Lee, chairman Presbyterian Temperance Committee, and Professor Charles F. Scanlon, Inter- Chnrch" Federation.

Immediate legislative action will be urged for the reduction of the number of grounds for divorce in Pennsylvania and prison terms for those found guilty of statutory offenses. It i feared that the new school code maj- be so amended as to make the elimination of the Bible from the schools not only possible but probable, and therefore the convention will take radical action in antkipation of such a move. Proposals to enact special legislation permitting theatres and baseball parks to charge admissions on the Sabbath and favoring a special Sunday liquor license for hotels will be discussed along with local option.

Ernest La Place and Dr. James M. Anders, the physicians attending him. Since the middle of last week, when he was stricken. Catholics the diocese have been alarmed over his condition.

His age is responsible, for" this apprehension. His eightieth birthday is on February -o. There has been rapid changes almost daily in the condition of the Archbishop since Friday. Relapses have been followed by remarkable rallies, according to the physicians. The patient suffered a severe relapse early j-esterday morning and there was much alarm at.

Charles F. Kavanaugh, his secretary, shortly after 11 o'clock last -night. "We diagnose his illness as heart fatigue, for His Grace, despite his" years, works incessantly on the affairs of the diocese. I should say that overwork is responsible for his present illness. He needs a long rest.

"Although he was so critically ill, the Archbishop persisted in attending to the affairs of. the diocese until Saturday afternoon. Then he became so ill he was forced to stop. We are more concerned over 'him when he is moving about than when he is resting, but it is difficult to persuade him that she should lay- aside his official duties and seek health." Father Kavanaugh said that no oxygen or stimulants were being administered. o- AVIATOR GARROS LOST; ASCENDED IN MONOPLANE Rose.
