Come Here.

Senator D. Gardiner. OF Charles City.
and President Lyon G. Tyler, OF Williams
burg, are in the city to meet shs remains
OF their brother, Dr. V. Lackland Tyler,
who died in New York city Sunday night.
DR.. Tyler was about fifty years of age
and was the third son of the late Presi-
dent John Tyler, of Virginia. He was
distinguished physician, and had prac-
ticed medicine in New York for six or
eight years. and was a prominent member
of the Board of Health of that city. DR..
Tyler died of appendicitis, and had been
sick for only a few days He was ope-
rated upon and the shock incident thereto
proved more than he could stand. DR..
Tyler was a robust man, and his sudden
death comes as a great shock to his
friends and relatives.
He was a man of culture and fire edu-
cation, and ranked well UP in his profes-
sion.
The remains will reach here over the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad at $40 o'clock this morning. and
the interment will be in the Tyler. section
in Hollywood at . o'clock this afternoon.

CASE IN

Matter of Religion Enters Into
Suit for the Custody of

A case involving the custody of The sew
en-year old daughter Of Dr. ana Mrs.
Otto Meyer has recently been argued ana
submitted to the Supreme Court Of -Ap-
peals. 1t Will be decided in the course of
the next few weeks.
Dr. Meyer is a well known chemist Of
Richmond. and has his Office on Cary
was a Miss Hoffman and an adopted
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Euker.
She and her daughter reside with them.
A temporary divorce was granted DR..
and Mrs. Meyer on account OF alleged
incompatibility of character, and she was
given the custody Of the child. From this
judgment Or. Meyer appealed.
The case is one Of peculiar interest in
that the principal reason urged as TO why
DR.. Meyer should not have the custody
OF the child is that be does not believe in
any religion, and would, it Is alleged. nat
urally teach his child to be an II eliever.
The case waS argued for DR.. Meyer by
Mr.. John ~ Lamb and for Mrs.
Meyer by AIR l. Q. Wendenburg. Mr..
Lamb contended that DR. Meyer, under the
Constitution of the State could not be
refused the custody of his child on the
ground that he was an unbeliever. for
the Constitution did not require a person
to hold to any religious faith, but left
him free 10 believe or not to believe in
religion, as his judgment dictated.

HISTORIC CHURCH
TO BE ENLARGED
Old St. Johns, Hampton, Under
Hammer and Saw-Captain
Dimmock' S Delicate Task.

The old st. Johns Church, in Hamp
ton is to be enlarged. \ Richmond ar
chitect is to draw the plans and super
wise this delicate and important work.
One has to be careful in making
changes in an historic structure like old
ST. Johns, whether of Richmond or
Hampton. a wiser or more careful man
than Captain NJ. J. Dimmock could not
be chosen: to do the work. And Capt.
nimmock has been elected by the yastry
of st. Johns, Hampton, to devise and
supervise the enlargement Of that sacred
and ancient pile.
The Hampton ST. Johns was erected
in 1927, or about ten years before St.
Johns on Church Hill. A quainter or
more peaceful and beautiful church can
not be found In the heart o. England.
The old pile has not been changed with
the exception of losing it's tower during
the war, for nearly two hundred years
It used to have a tower at the north
end. but when by order of General Ma
gruder Hampton was burned, old St
Johns lost it's roof and tower. The en-
trance was changed also from the west
side to the south end, as at present.
But nov the church is not large enough
and vested choir is wanted; also, q
new and larger organ. Captain Dimmock
has the delicate task of making room for
these without destroying the ancient
Not a member Of the vestry wants the
old building to lose any of it's charm
that history and age have given it; still
they want it to meet the demands or
modern times.
The shape of the church is a Latin
cross. Captain Dimmock will ill out
the northwest angle, making here place
for the new organ and room for the
vested choir, with rohing-room above.
Over this corner will rise a tower. The
effect will be very striking and will add
to rather than detract from the appear.

spreads over the chancel, will not be dis
