its seat at Canterbury, the capital of the
ancient kingdom of Kent: the smaller, with
only nine dioceses. at York the old capital
of Northumbrfa. The archbishop of Can
terbury has always held pre-eminent au-
thor1ty over the whole Kingdom. This is
archbishops assume. Both are primates.
But the Archbishop Of York is simply
called primcte of England. The Arch
bishop of Canterbury, on the other hand, is
primate Of all England. 1t Is also indicated
by their relative rights of precedence. The
Archbishop of Canterbury has precedence
over all the nobility save those of royal
blood: the lord chane ellor comes next, and
then the Archbishop of York.
Though the Archbishop of Canterbury is
the sacredotat head OF the Church of Eng
land, the nominal and secular head is at
present Queen Victoria. The reason why
the Archbishop of Canterbury is the priest
diocese is the cradle of English Christianity.
1t was here the authority OF the pope over
England was transferred during the ref
ormation to the Episcopal Church, Henry
VIII then being the king.
The now Archbishop of Canterbury is
one of the most advanced liberals among
English churc hmen. He is a professed ad-
and upon the occasion of his confirmation
as Archbishop of Canterbury,in the Church
of st. Mary-le-Bow, London, December D.
Rev. MIR. Brownjohn made an Intellectual
protest against DR.. Temples confirmation,
on the ground of the iatter's belief in the
theory OF evolution.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, who was
born in 1921. has been, successfully, head
master of Rugby, Bishop of Exeter, and re-
Gently, Bishop of London. He took double
first-class at Oxford, and married daugh-

Asserts Ownership to FOrty-TwO
Acres in the Heart of Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January s-Josepn
Boulanger, a half-breed Usage Indian, is
here from Elgin, Kan, and announces that
he will Immediately bring suit to recover
forty-two acres of land in the heart of
Kansas City, now worth between forty and
fifty million dollars. The land was bought
by the government in 1882 from Collise
Montardeau, French trader, who was the
grandfather Of the present claimant. Bou-
langer is a prosperous farmer and has
lived in Elgin for years.
On March 10, 1891, Boulanger read in
Kansas City paper of the filing of the pat
ent granted to Collise Montardeau by Pres
ident Andrew Jackson, whose signature
was affixed by A. j. DoneIson, his secre-
tary. The land was paid for at the land
office in Lexington.
Bouldnger claims that his grandfather,
being ignorant of legal forms, had never
filed the patent, and that the transfers of
the property since then have been invalid.
He has since secured power of attorney
from all the other heirs, mostly his cous-
ms, and is now determined to push his
claim The property holds the largest
building in Kansas City.

LIBRARY AND POST OFFICE.
Talk About Using the Vacant Space
In the Two Buildings.

Chairman Cannon of the House commit
tee on appropriations admitted to a Star
reporter this morning that his committee
is considering the occupa.on of the public
buildings now being completed as told in
The Star yesterday. This includes the post
office and the library buildings. Mr.. Cam
non said. however, that the Investigations
of the subject had not gone far enough to
warrant any member in saying that GER
tain thing would or would not be done No
conclusion. he said. had been reached.
1t is understood that it is the desire of
the committee to save rentals wherever
possible, and this fact led to the talk about
placing the geological survey in the library
building.
Librarian Spofford talked with a Star re-
porter about the facts that have come to
light. Il have talked with some of the
members of the committee" he said, land
they disclaim any intention to place any
bureaus or clerical forces in the library
building aside from the library force, but
they think there might be other uses to
which the vacant space might be put. The
committee desires information about the
amount of space which might be used for
other purposes. AS l understand the mat
ter now, it is all in the air.
Mr.. Spofford said he had no idea that
anything would be done which could Tot
properly be carried on in the library build
Thing which would interfere with the
work of the library would be opposed and
could not be carried out. The library
building he concluded, was built first
and last, solely for the uses of great gov
eminent library"
Representative Amos Cummings said he
thought there was plenty of vacant room
in the library building which could be
utilized in numerous ways without inter-
fertng with the work for which the build
Ing was designed. The building, he said.
would allow more than enough room for
the Congressional Library for fifty years.
He thought there was room enough for
the geological survey.
Senator Proctor of Vermont: Il have not
locked into the proposition that the Post
Cfice Department be permitted to occupy a
portion of the library building, but speak
Ing from first Impressions, 1 should saw

means should the library building be psed
for any purpose except that contemplated
in its construction. l am heartily AGAINST
any proposition locating in it any other de-
partlnent OF the government"
Representative Harmer said that he wss
opposed to the use of the library for anv
other purpose than that for which IL was
intended. He thought that to begin the use
OF 1t for any other purpose would be un.
wise and IAN inJudicious inroad." He said
