REDEE S HOVED *To BELOW BRIGE Mount Vernon Memorial Highway Project Is Ad- vanced by Action. Another stride forward in the con- struction of the Mount Vernon Me- morial Highway was taken late yester- day, when the United States Engineer office brought the hydraulic pipe line dredge Welatka to a n down- stream from the Rail Bridge across the Potomac River and prepared to ump sand and gravel from the bed of he river into the basin fill from Co- lumbia Island to the Railroad Bridge. The Welatka, which was brought to ‘Washington from Florida a few months ago, has been at work recently at Four Mile Run, terial from River and forcing it, under pressure, through the big pipes to span Virginia run. Officials of the United States Engineer office, under the direction of Maj. Brehon Somervell, district engineer for the War Department for the Washing- ton area, have been waiting for a favorable opportunity to shift the Welatka into her new position. North- westerly winds and insufficient tide frustrated their efforts, but yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the right moment came and the officials placed the red craft downstream without in- cident. Provision is being made to permit the fill—as the crude roadbed made of the erstwhile bottom of the Potomac River is termed—to settle. The work of con- structing the highway is going forward under the direction of the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture. Maj. Somervell's office has the hydraulic fill job in hand for the bureau and this work will total $1,000,000.

Members of the American National Red Cross staff held a memorial service at headquarters yesterday in honor of the late Willlam Howard Taft, who established the precedent of mak- ing the President headl of the Red Cross, and whose service as an active member and officer for 25 years past had been particularly valuable to the orgnlutlon. referring to the former Chief Justice and President, John Barton Payne, chairman, said that “it was a privilage to have been associated with a man whose entire life can bear the most crucial test. As for my self, I am convinced that my association with such a man in public service has been a real contribution to my character.” Mr. Taft was elected president of the Red Cross in 1905 and continued in that office after he became President of the United States, setting up a precedent in which succeeding Presi- dents have acceded. Since leaving the presidency Mr. Taft served the Red Cross as vice president. ‘The service opened with several bibical quotations which were favorites of Mr. Taft. They were read by Dr. ‘Thomas E. Green. The hymns sung by the staff also were favorites of the former Chief Justice, including “Lead Kindly Light” and “Abide With Me."” CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.
