E. Church at St. Felix St hnd Hanson Place, was dedicated esterday at morning services, more han 1.000 persons attending. Mr larding died last Summer at the kge of 86. "Harding," declared the Rev.

Dr Lane Miller, pastor, "was a pro-ressive conservative who never locked the path to the Kingdom of Christ. His age never proved a tumbling block. We will never him and we will pass on to the ienerations to be something of his pirit, something of his humility nd courage." Dr. Miller looked out over the paclous modern gothic auditorium, esembling with its vaulted arches nd the redwood Beamed ceiling ontributed by Mr. Kennedy a great ball of medieval times, and paid ribute to the donor, who was resent upon the stage.

"This age lacks a sense of appre- iation that has been brought on the materialism of our times. Ne need more than one thanksgiv- hg day in a year. It is indeed a lne thing for the church when it uts itself on record as appreciat- hg the living. Mr. Kennedy has ack of him not only his personal rganlzation, but the consecration his big heart."

Taxpayers and Civics' Opposition to Plan of Dr. Iierry Is Predict eil Controller Berry's proposal to boost water rates In Brooklyn, Queens and other parts of the city 20 percent on the first of new year, is xpected to arouse a storm of dis cussion and opposition in civic and taxpayers' organizations. The increase will be needed, ac cording to Dr. Berry, to meet the interest on bonds the city expects to issue for construction of the Delaware River watershed and the extension of mains in Brooklyn and Queens.

While the additional water supply will not be available until 1937 or 1938, the Controller, as chairman of the special committee on water supply, contends the city should start at once building up a reserve to meet interest charges, estimated at $16,078,000 annually from 1937 onward. May Boost Taxes, Too Even the 20 percent Increase, he says, in a statement made public today, will not be enough. The balance he proposes to raise by increased taxes. The present water rates, which have been in effect since 1857, are yielding about $1,000,000 a year profit to the city after operating expenses, interest and amortization charges on bonds are deducted. Another recommendation of the Berry committee, which also is expected to meet great opposition.

Is that all privately owned buildings except churches, now exempt from water taxes, be compelled to Install meters at their own expense. Private hospitals, schools, libraries and similar institutions would be affected. Installation of meters does not mean that water rents will be charged these places, according to Di Berry, The change is suggested to aid conservation of the city's Wf.ter supply. "All recommendations of the committee," the statement says, "are directed toward two main objectives the continuance of the policy of maintaining the city's water system on a self-paying basis, and safeguarding and conserving the city's water supply. About 17,000,000,000 gallons, enough for three weeks' consumption, were added to New York City's water supply by weekend rains, Chief Engineer William W.

Brush of the Department of Water Supply, Oas and Electricity, said yesterday. Many city reservoirs gain almost two inches, but their levels are still about eight inches below normal. Although there is no immediate fear of a shortage, water- conservation is essential, Brush said. Elizabeth Set on' Canonization to Be Petitioned in Italy Large Pilgrimage Planned to Escort -Papers to Be Presented to Pins XI The petition for the canonization of Mother Elizabeth Srton, founder of the Sisters of Charity, as America's first native-born saint, will be presented in Rome to Pope Pius XI July 23 or 25, according to plans an nounced yesterday by Mrs. Jjmes J.

Mrs. Sheeran said, will be one of the largest American pilgrimages of recent years-to the Vatican. Communications from every section of the country following the public announcement of pians for the event have caused the original arrangement, calling for about. 100 persons to make the leurney, to be revised to include a larger As a result.

It is cxpectej that clergy, officials and members of various orders, including a delegation of Sisters of Charity and others of Catholic faith inte-tsted in the cause, will take part in the pilgrimage, Mrs. Sheeran announced.

Bomb Wrecks Home Of Consul in Cuba Havana, March 30 (P) One of the largest bombs yet exploded in Cuba in the course of the present campaign of anti-government terrorists last night destroyed the living quarters of the Spanish Consul at Santa Clara. Fernando Estran Cuenca.

The consul's bedroom was wrecked ani his bed blown to bits. No one was injured, since he ana his family had not yet returned from a Sunday evening social call. Municipal police conducted an investigation, but no arrests followed. The bomb shook the entire city and caused considerable excitement. Police said it was an attempt against the life of the consul rather than mere po litical demonstration.

a New Orgun Detli catcd in Memory of Ex-Mayor anl Wife The inspiration of more than a half century of service of the lata David A. Boody, last mayor of tho old city of Brooklyn, in the civic, public and educational life of this community was renewed in tha minds of the congregation of tha Memorial Presbyterian Church, 7th Ave. and St. John's Place, ester-day In the dedication of a new harp stop to the organ. The dedicatory service )ok placa at the Palm Sunday morning worship and music particularly adapted to the use of the stop wns played by the church organist, S.

Lewis Elmer. It was the first use of tho harp stop at any service In tha churrh. The gift was in memory of Mr. Boody and his late wife and was given by two of their children, Mrs. Maude Boody Carey and Edgar Boody.

Mr. and Mrs. Boody had been members of the Memorial Presbyterian Church for more than 40 years. Cltci Work for Library Mr. devotion to the Interests of the Brooklyn Public Library, of which he was president for nany years, lt.s growth tnirii his leadership and his long right for the new building now under construction at the gateway to Prospect Park was recalled yesterday in the woros of the minister of the church, th' Rev.

John Barlow, as he spoke of thai "Ministry of Music." "As in the libraries of this borough we have a permanent witness to his vision and activity so, in the same way, this harp stop, which we are dedicating today, will constantly remind us of his devotion to spirltunl things and his interest In music," ha said. "In all the world there Is nothing so akin to prayer ns music. We find our way into one as we do tha other. Music comes the nearest to anything we know of In giving expression to what, defies definition. There Is a catholicity about music that makes it a kind of unhcrs'il language.

Protestant and though separated ci other rents, ore one in music. Music is essentially a religious thing." Tribute to Bood.vs He said there has been a closer connection between religion and music than between religion and any of the other arts. Reforrlng to Mr. and Mrs Boody, he Raid in conclusion: "We remember them with grea reverence. They stood for tha highest and most beautiful In Christian worship.

Their hearts outran the bounds of denomlnationallsm, Lovingly in their memory and to tha glory of our Heavenly Father wa dedicate this harp stop to Christian service." Yesterday's organ prelude was the "Chant Triumnhnlo," By G.itil. and the "Cantilenc" of Du Eols was nla-ed at th-; mditation. Terry Home, tenor, sang Gounod's "There Is a Green Hill Far Away" as tha offertory anthem. The service closed with the "Bencdictus" ot Karg-Elcrt, played as the postlude. 2,510 Is Spent By Relief Croups During One Month of This Given Pi- reel, $1.3,320 in Wiic lo Unemployed Wnmm The four Brooklyn familv welfare rocieties for which the Brooklyn Unemployment Emergency Committee, headed by Surrogate George Albert Wingate, raised more than $500,000 and spent $72,510.32 between Feb.

So far we've worked together haimoniously. During the warm weather, Mr.

Gray operated the floating bath shown in the illus- tratlon. It was moored right next to the Fulton FPrry house and was liberally patronized, especially on Saturdays and Sundavs. If the weather was particularly sultry, the attendance often ran as high as 250. As may be seen from the picture, the bath was divided into two sections, for mixed bnlhiiu in a floating bath was quite unthinkable in those Victorian days Water Had Hard I if hi Following nut the idea, the women bathers, accoding to a reliable informant, wore hoavy flan nel suits, through which the salt water had a hard time fighting its way to the skin of the bather. Our reliable informant, being of the gentler sex, was, of course, un-ablo to state what the men wore, besiden their luxuriant whiskers, but we have reason to believe thnt the costumes would be described just now as "shorts." 'Crashed the Gate' Mr.

Gray had two sons, who helped him in running the baths, and three lovely aaiighters, who became very popular with their school friends by organizing swimming parties and "cra.3l:r.g the gate," to the pretended chagrin of Mr. Gray, who protested jokingly that the free bathing was p'tUns a terrific dent in his profits. However, there is no doubt that this was an exaggeration, for Mr. Griy made a tidy fortune and kept his family in style in fine old Thome mansion, at 125 Adams near Sands, which he purchased out of the profits made from keeping Brooklynites clean. Berthed in Winter When the nipping air of Autumn swept over Brooklyn, making river swimming unattractive, Mr.

Gray would hire a tug and have his huge "emporium" towed to its Winter berth on the of Gowanus Bay, where it would be tied up until the following season It was at this season that Mr. Gray becams a combined businessman and philanthropist, for he gave all his attention to running his "human laundry," which was in a building he had erected not far from the old Franklin House on lower Fulton St. The building was equipped with 100 bathrooms. The tubs were of zinc inclosed In wooden boxes. The water was pumped from a well to a tank on the root by a donkey engine in the cellar, where the boiler for heating the water was also located.

Saturday the Big Day Saturday was the big day at the Gray establishment. His customers came from all parts of Brooklyn, and many businessmen on the way home from New York would stop in for a "wash." followed perhaps by a "brarcr" or 'two finscrs" at the Franklin House bat. before starting ti their homes on the Heights or in Bedford, Gowanus or elsewhere. Clergymen Never Charged Mr. Gray made a rule never to charge clergymen foi making use of his tubs and dozens of men of the "cloth" flocked to Gray's place on Saturday mornings, emerging "rosy red to their fingertips" and ready to do the final revising of rousing Sunday sermons which undoubtedly got an extra dash of pep from the vigor engendered by the cleansing process at Gray's.

It was a case ot every man for himself in this simple "wash-house." Mr. Gray employed no rubbers or scrubbers, such as are on duty in the Turkish baths of today. Whin you paid your two shillings you got piece of soap ana a towel and the uss of a tub, and it was up to yourself how complete tlie job might be Beechcr a Regular Among tne regular pa'rons was the Bev.

"I assume that you, who always take a broad view of public improvements, must have had what seemed to you good and sufficient reasons for your stand," Mr. Straus says. "However, I want lo point out that this program is the result ot two years of campaigning by many important civic organizations, ably abetted by the administration of which you are a part.

"We all look to you in you capacity as Acting Mayor to lead in pushing the park purchase program which has been and will be, perhaps, the finest achievement of this city administration." Gandhi Downs Opposition to Policies in India Liquor-Condemned, Woman Suffrage Urged 1 Killed, 6 Hurt in New Disorder Karachi, India, March 30 A silent, wordless Gandhi, squatting sphinxlike in the center of 40,000 souls, downed active opposition to his creed by sheer force of personality last night, and put the 45th annual meeting of the All-India National Congress on record as favoring most oi the things for which he has fought. At 6 p.m. tonight, when the burning desert sands which surround Karachi have cooled somewhat, the congress will Indorse most of the remaining principles of his policy, and gave Its wnction to the recent truce with Viceroy Lord Irwin at New Delhi, which ended the civil disobedience campaign. In order to be able to speak tonight in defense of the truce, if it should be necessary, Gandhi began his usual weekly day of silence six hours early, ft 6 p.m. Sunday.

Others spoke for him, however, par ticularly Vallabhal Patei, wno, acting as president of the congress, re iterated Indian nationalisms ae mand for unqualified self-determi nation and independence. Among resolutions passed by the body were those condemning the liquor traffic, advocating iuu woman suffrage, advocating sell-determination for Burma and a full responsible government for the northwest frontier province, urging release of all political prisoners, deploring political disabilities upon Indansin India anj a bread and deploring the Cawnpore riots. Death Toll Reaches IS Allahabad. India, March 30 Sporadic outbursts of communal fighting in Cawnpore, united provinces, over the weekend accounted for one more dead and six injuries. It is estimated that the total ol dead fince the first of last week is between 150 and 200, with about 1,000 injured.

Mr. Cray was promised another location by the ferry people, but he never got it and retired f'oni the river branch of the bath industry. Feeling Luxury The young folk of tne present day, who' believe that water should wet you when you dive into it and who revel in luxurious perls that rival those of ancient Rome, will never know the fnllng of luxury that came to the peopis ot old Brooklyn who got cool and clean under the kindly eya of l'ie affable Mr.

This is the substance of the results of the investigation made by Prof. R. A.

Baker of the College of the City of New York, who will present his findings to the American Chemical Society, which meets at Indianapolis tomorrow. 1,450 Scientists Quizzed Working with Dr. Washington Piatt of Syracuse, Professor Baker sent questionncires to 1.450 scientists asking them to report their experiences with the "scientific hunch." The list included chemicts, physicist, mathematicians, biologists and psychologists. It was announced 232 replies were received and of these 33 percent repcrted they had experienced this pnenomenon frequently, 50 percent occasionally and 17 percent never. The scientific hunch Is denned as "a unifying or clarifying idea which springs into consciousness suddenly as a solution to a problem in which we are intensely interested." "Leap of Imagination" "A hunch," says Professor Baker, "springs from a wide knowledge of facts but is essentially a leap of the imagination f.n that it goes beyond a mere necessa'v conclusion which any reasonable man must draw from the data at hand.

It is a process of creative thought. Such a leap may be to discover the law of gravitation or the best way to break an emulsion." The extent to which the hunches proved correct ranged from 90 to 10 percent, declared Professor Baker. Fifty-three percent of the scientists replying reported that they used devices to encourage the "scientific hunch." Grasping Ideas It Is important, Professor Baker adds, to be able to grasp valuable new ideas as they flash before the consciousness. There is a danger that the new idea may never appear before the consciousness and an equal danger that its appearance may be so brief that the person may fail to grasp it. "Sometimes," he says, "we can feel the approach of a new idea before it arrives.

Then we should avoid embarking on any other train of conscious thought which may lead us away from it. At this nn interruption such as the ring of the telephone bell is disastrous. "On the other hand, many new ideas vanish as soon as they appear unless a particular effort is made to focus the attertion on them long enough to fix them in the memory. A valuable device recommended is writing down immediately any original ideas as they flash before us. A series of fragmentary notes of this kind can be turned to and worked over at leisure." Four Stages There are four stages in research work, accordinz to Professor Baker.

The first is "reparation," in which the problem is investigated by read- in? and experiment. The second is "incubation," ir which the mind, often unconsciously, goes over the information acquired in the first stage. The third is "illumination." consisting of the hunch. And the fourth is "verification," in which the hunch, or working hypothesis, which seems to unify and explain all known facts, is tested by experiment. The "illuminafion" stage is an important link in the chain.

One scientist whose hunrhes came in the. early morning when fully rested reported one instance in which he tqpk a bath, shaved, took another bath, and only when he discovered that the towel was wet did he come out of his reverie "interrupting what might have led to a revelation of an important discovery, if there had been an ample supply of dry towels." Another gave this instance: "I went to bed one night in a state of brain fa? over a problem and the instant that I awoke in the morning I saw before me, apparently projected upon ihe the completely worked out procrss and the equipment in operation." "Idea Soil Fertile" One who answered the questionnaire said: "These ideas do not come so frequently while at work or under tension. The idea soil is quite fertile when consulting books, such as chemical abstracts, in the library. A quiet, restful, dreamy mood, when surrounded with books, generally In the evening when alone in the study room these ait the optimum conditions for a r.unch." Another replied: "My experience is uniform in one particular. The hunch has invariably come at night after retiring for sleep.

In such cases, my condition has been one between wakefulness and sleep, and the insight has been entirely effortless. Often in such states, pertinent facts long sime forgotten have come to the surface." Swedish Liquor Plan For U. S. Is Assailed Washington, March 30 The Swedish plan of government liquor control will not work In the United States, according to the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, in replying to the recommendation of Col. Henry Anderson of Virginia, member of the Wickersham Law Enforcement Commission.

The board said the Swedish plan was paternalistic and discriminatory; that It made a li cense to drink a credential of respectability, assumed only a portion of the use of alcohol to be injurious and that it had only a limited trial. It continued that the plan provoked illegal liquor traffic, inspired drinking among youth and raised the dilemma of making liquor expensive enough to discourage indiscriminate drinking and low enough to compete with the bootlegger. Worry Over Vitamins Mania, Says Doctor St. Faul, March 30 (Pi Some peo ple worry toq muc.i about vitamins in the opinion of Dr. Walter C.

Al varez of the Mayo clinic. Rochester, Minn.
