DON'T WANT TO FACE CEMETERY.
New Complication. Maybe. for the North
Presbyterian Church 10 Meet.

Presbyterian Church to Meet.
Considerable adverse feeling has been
aroused by the fact that the North Presby-
terrain Church, formerly at Ninth avenue
and Thirty-first street, whose church was
taken as part OF the site of the new Penn
sylvania Railroad station, has purchased
lots on the north side of 155th street,
near Amsterdam avenue, for the erection OF
a new building. Some members OF the
church, 30 the story goes, object to the
site because 1t faces Trinity Cemetery.
1t was rumored yesterday that these
persons would take the matter into the
New York Presbytery at its meeting next
Monday. The Rev. DR.. Wilson D. Sexton
pastor Of the North church, said:
1T may be so, but haven't heard OF it.
I am pretty sure II there as any difficulty
or criticism on account OF the purchase
it would have reached my ears. People
outside the church may bring the matter up
in Presbytery and force US to select another
site, but hardly think it likely. We shall
build Immediately on the new site, pro-
yided we are not prevented from doing 30.
After It sold its downtown property the
North shurch wanted to unite with the
Washington Heights Presbyterian Church
at Amsterdam avenue and l55th street.
Three times Presbytery voted not to allow
the consolidation, declaring illegal the
agreement that the aged Rev. DR.. j. G.
Bliss, pastor Of the Heights church, should
become pastor emeritus after being CO.
pastor with the Rev DR.. Sexton for a year.
At special meeting late in June. however.
Preebytery licensed the union and a COM
mittee has been at work all summer arrang-
ing the details Of it.
The committee was to have reported on
Monday. 1t may not do 50 now.
The committee has decided upon some
peculiar arrangements for the coalition
OF the two churches. The property just
secured Ia in the rear OF the Washington
Heights church. The North church peo-
pie propose to begin the erect ion Of q brick
and stone church to cost $1l0 900. They
have not money enough to complete II,
but when they have spent all they have.
tho union with the other congreg alton Is to
be effected.
Then the Washington Heights congrega-
ton proposes 10 sell its present church
and devote part Of the proceeds 10 the
completion OF the new building. The pred
ent church Ia worth about 500 900. VIVA;
| 10 not spent of that sum will 90 for an en-
dowment.
The name chosen for the united congrega-
ton Is the North Church on Washington

LEAK IN GRAND JURY ROOM2
Counsel Couldn't See the Minutes, but Seen
To Know what Happened.

Counsel for Harry Velthuyssn and H Il.
Martin. respectively president and secre-
tary OF the Delaware Surety Company
moved before Judge Newburger yesterday,
in General Sessions, for tho dismissal OF
the indictments for perjury against them
Counsel argued that sufficient legal evl-
dence was not laid before the Grand Jury
which found the indictments. He went
over the evidence in detail. :.
Assistant District Attorney Gray replied
that counsel had applied for permission,
to inspect the Grand Jury's minutes and
had failed to obtain it. Under those cir
cumstances, Mr.. Gray said, he could not
understand how or where counsel had
obtained his Information. Mr.. Gray &C.
knowledged that the facts cited were
correct.
Judge Newburger expressed doubt
whether he would grant a motion made
on speculative statements, even II they
happened to hit the truth. He asked for
briefs.
The indictments accuse Velthuysen and
Martin Of swearing falsely in this State
concerning the paid-up capital Of the Della
ware Surety Company, which went on the
bond Of +. A. Heinze in one OF his legal
battles over the Montana copper mines.
