Result.
Phllodclphlo, iMny 1G.
Basing their observations upon
ilrst hand knowledge gained In a 10
hour Inspection trip Saturday over
the Delaware Hlvcr, the Phlaldolphln
Navy Yard and the Port of Philadel
phia, fifty-live Congressmen, Includ
ing tho entire membership of two
of the most powerful committees In
Congress- - that on Hlvcrs and Har
bors anil the Committee on Naval
Affairs- returned to Washington on
Sunday admitting the Justice of al-i
most any claim that 'Pennsylvania
might make for Federal aid in tho
further development of Its natural
avenue to over-sea commerce, and
with virtual unanimity pledging their
support to the bill now before Con
gress to appropriate $1,500,000 for
tho 'Delaware Hiver 35-foot channel
project
it was one of the most distin
guished delegations ever brought
from Washington to Philadelphia,
and tho occasion one of the most sig
nificant events In the development
of Pennsylvania's commercial pres
tige For the visitors represented
that authority which, In the weighty
deliberation of Congressional affairs,
can by a more liberal recognition of
this state's needs, help so (materially
in the Delaware iRlver and Philadel
phia port projects which are tho es
sential necessities for a greater for
eign trade between Pennsylvania and
European. Asiatic and 'South Ameri
can countries.
' You are visiting one of the old
est and one of the greatest states In
the country." said 'Representative A.
J Ban hfleld. of Pittsburg, in his ad
dress to the other Congressmen, "a
state with a population of 7,000,000
and an annual tonnage on Its eastern
and western borders of 200,000,000
greater than New York, London,
Liverpool, Antwerp, Bremen, Havre
and Cherbourg combined. When it
is considered that this state con
tributes one-fourteenth of all the
revenues gathered each year by the
.National Government, Pennsylvania
is modest indeed in her requests for
rivers and harbors appropriations.
Support fur l'iituro Hill.
Mr Barchfield is a member of tho
Rivers and Harbors Committee re
porting the 11,500,000 appropria
tion, and though from the western!
end of the state is ono of tho most
earnest workers In behalf of Dela
ware River Improvements. In gain
ing the support of the visiting dele
gation, however, Pennsylvania con
gressmen have done more than mere
ly to create a favorable sentiment in
the two important committees.
Among the nearly three score rep
resentatives and senators there were
the chairmen of nine other commit
tees and some of the most convincing
debaters In Congress.
Their support for Pennsylvania
harbor and port Improvement legis
lation will mean to Immeasurably
strengthen this state's claim for
greater recognition, and that they
were completely won over was at
tested by the Congressmen thom
selves. "The only reason that Pennsyl
vania's commerco has not Increased
with greater strides in the past," said
William B. Wilson, of Wllllams
port, representative from the Fif
teenth district, "is because her rivers
and harbors have been neglected."
Congressmen Make Pledges.
,'From comments made to xne by
my colleagues I ibelleve tho Rivers
and Harbors Committee has never
been more strongly Impressed with
the worthiness of a cause than by
this project of port development.
Tho mass of shipping and the groat
commercial Industries they saw dur
ing their several hours on the river
and along tho wator front has been
enlightening, especially to members
from interior states. They are as
tounded by the business being done,
and each asserted he would support
any measure that grants more mon
ey to Philadelphia for the greater
commercial development of Pennsyl-
vanla.
Inspection Trip on Delaware.
The early completion of tho 35
foot channel project for the Dela
ware River," said Chairman Hol
ton sounding the first of the port's
needs at tho opening of the investi
gation "is Imperatively demanded
by the ommercial necessities of tho
port in order that Its facilities may
equal those of competitive) ports on
the Atlantic seaboard, it Is equally
necessary to tho navy, so that war- i
ships of tho nation, carrying the!
deepest drafts, may without loss of
time and with safety reach the naval
station of Philadelphia."
At tho Philadelphia Navy Yard, at
tho lower end of tho city, whore
members of tho Naval Affairs Com
mittee were favorably Impressed with
the need of a 1700-foot dry dock, tho
entire delegation boarded tho steam
er Queen Anne, for tho trip over tho
harbor that demonstrated tho facil
ities of tho port and showed the com
mercial and Industrial activity along
Philadelphia's wator front.
Greater Appropriations.
Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, of
Louisiana; Congressmen Murray, of
Massachusetts; Davidson, of Wis
consin; Jadgett, of Tennessee, and
many others, openly declared these
sentiments and went on rocord as
pledging their support to any meas
ure that has for its purpose the
broadening of Pennsylvania's cora
'morclal opportunities through tho
development of Us natural avenuo to
foreign and ocean-going domestic
trade.
In all ono of tho most auspicious
occasions In tho history of this
state's commercial development, It
served to bring before nearly thrco
score of tho most powerful men In
Congress tho present status of tho
Port of Philadelphia and Its possl
j bllltles for a far greater commerce.
I And It won for Pennsylvania's sea
board port friends who can do mucn
toward Its futuro development.

church of this placo will celebrato its
