no ALLIANCE SETTLEMENT AS YET.

1t would seem. from statement made yesterday
to a Tribune reporter by the Rev. Dr. A. b. Smp-
son. that the report that he is about to found .
Christian Alliance settlement on the heights OF the
Hudson at Nyack is somewhat premature. While
admitting that the Board Of Managers OF the Al
lance had under consideration such plan he SAID
that no details had been decided upon. IL would.
he said be at three four months before tho
Board OF Managers could arrive at any definite
conclusion. Briefly he said, the whole thing is
as vet merely under contemplation and the reports
10 the effect that the Taylor and Woerz properties
have been purchased are based upon speculation
only and are without foundation.
Incidentally DR.. Simpson remarked that the estt-
rated value Of the donations and gifts Of jeweiry,
negie Hall Sunday. October H. had been moro
than realized.
