ALTERATION OF THE THIRD
BAPTIST CHURCH DISCUSSED
II the Proposed Plan of Remodeling Is
Not Practicable n New Edifce
May BE Erected.

1t Is the desire Of the pastor and Board
of Deacons of the Third Baptist Church, at
Grand and Delmar avenues. that the audi
forum of the building be so altered that it
will accommodate almost twice the number
of persons 1t will now seat.
The plan has been discussed time and
again, but matters have advanced to such
a stage this time that an architect has
been instructed to draw and submit plans.
and estimate the cost of the proposed
change. He will make his report within a
week. and the financial end will then be
considered.
The auditorium. by placing chairs in the
aisles and using the classrooms at the
rear, will now seat nearly LOCO persons. At
both the Sunday services for months 1t has
been found necessary to do this to accom-
modate the audiences.
In view of the fact that the church Is
located at what is considered strategic
point, from a religious view, 1t is thought
that it would be wise to increase the seat
ing capacity to at least 1,6O0.
Because many of the more important
churches have moved to the western part
of the city, or are contemplating such ac-
ton, it is the desire of the congregation
that the site on Grand avenue be retained.
as it is near the center of the city. and
easy to reach.
II it is found that the alteration OF the
present building IS not practicable, it is
said that lot will be purchased near
Grand avenue and new building erected.
1t is hoped that whatever action is taken
the new building will be in place before the
Worlds Fair.

PERMISSION TO ERECT FIRE
PROOF FENCE WILL BE ASKED
Decorative Dead Wall Along Lindell
Boulevard. Between Pike and
Exposition.

Director of Works Taylor proposes high
but decorative fire wall along the north side
of Lindell boulevard to separate the Fike
from the Varied Industries and the Trans
portation palaces. This suggestion IS made
to satisfy the Fire Prevention Bureau
which has objected to the rear of shows
AUDITING on Lndell boulevard.
Unless this plan IS acceptable To the bu-
reau. whose rules prohibit the plcc,ng of
groups of buildings closer than 500 feet
different layout must be made ot the Pike
on the Catlin tract. At present Director
of Concessions Gregg has laid out the Pike
as two-sided street, the rear ends of the
shows on each side. ending at the line of
Lindell boulevard on the south and the Colo
RADIO tracks on the north.
It is the desire of the Exposition manage
ment to have a two-side6 street. Conces
sionaires say that a one-sided amusement
thoroughfare would be very tame Efforts
are now being made to secure the permits
sion of the Fire Prevention Bureau to erect
the fireproof wall. which would be so decor
ated and garnished by vines and flowers

Engineer Brown Positive Bank
Robber Visited Boilerroom
After Escape.
BLEEDING FROM CUT ON FACE.
Brown Was Busy While Fugitive
Bathed and Says He Did Not
Realize Visitors Identity
Until Too Late.

Joseph Brown night engineer of the Lin
dell Hotel. says a man answering the de-
scripton of William Rudolph, the Union
bank robber. came to the door of the en-
glne-room at 2 o'clock the morning after his
flight and asked permission TO go behind
the boilers 70 wash himself.
Brown did not realize who his visitor was
until he had disappeared. but says he is
satisfied 1t was Rudolph. The descriptions
given OF the bank robber tally exactly with
the man who came to him, and the actions
OF the latter were suspicious.
About . a. m. Tuesday l was working
around the door of the ensine-room, when
l happened to turn around. l saw a man
creeping along in the shadow of the wall.
He appeared to wish to avoid being seem
and on entering he Immediately got behind
the door, 50 as to be screened from the view
of any one passing in the street.
7 asked the stranger what he wanted
and he replied that he would like TO go be-
hind the boilers TO rest and wash up. The
side of his face was bloody from a fresh
cut. His chin was scraped as If by broken
glass 1t was very hot. and I thought the
request most peculiar one. AS was talk
ing to the man one of tine glass gauges on
the boiler broke. and turned away to fix it.
When l turned around again the fellow
had slipped away as silently as lie had
come. l looked up and down the street. hut
could not him. Just then it struck me
that my visitor might have been Rudolph.
On recalling the descriptions Of the fugitive,
I was convinced that this was the case.
He was we'll away. however, and could not
leave the boilers.
He had on a pair of clean blue ever
alls They were not new. but looked as IL
; they had been recently washed. l rernem-
Der that when he talked noticed his gold
, teeth. His stature was that Of Rudolph,
and he had the same color. hair and eyes.
II am quiet positive that the early morn
ing caller was the fugitive hank robber
and only regret that 1 did not realize it
sooner
Brown has been employed at the Lindell
Hotel for a long time. and is considered
reliable man. He is powerfully built. and
Is physical strength is proverbial at the
hosiery In the event of a struggle it is
thought by the hotel ATTACKS that Brown
could have easily overpowered and captured
the outlaw.

Beamon on looking up. felt sure that he
had seen the face somewhere and paid par
ticular attention to the man and at the
same time tried to place him. 1t was then
public and the longer he looked at the man
the more he was convinced that 1t was
Rudolph.
he was satisfied the clerk was paying at
tention to his action he stepped back few
feet and laughed a sneering laugh and the
clerk noticed several gold-fiiled teeth in
his mouth.
He was very careful when he went out
of the store. He watched every movement
that no harm might come 70 him even If
he had been recognized as the bank robber
and self-confessed murderer: Several peo-
pie noticed the man upon the streets, but
at the time did not know Rudolph had es-
capped Jail at St. Louis. He was dressed in
solid black also soft black hat; was smooth

might be called black. yet traces OF gray;

1t was rumored that man filling the
description of William Rudolph was in

back and boarded the noon train for the

hearing Jailer Dawson's statement and
questioned them closely
The guards made practically the same
statements to the Circuit Attorney as they
did to Jailer Dawson Tuesday afternoon.
Should the Grand Jury act in the matter
and vote an Indictment. It would charge
those persons who are found to he respon-
sible for the escape with criminal careless

Jailer Dawson frankly states that he be-
lieves his men displayed lack OF wit in not
making more thorough investigation when
the skylght glass was broken.

alarm bell should have been sounded as
soon as the glass was broken. Had it teen
Rudolph would never have gotten away. I
am informed that he was on the Jail roof at
least two minutes. This would have given
us time to have surrounded the Jail, and
enough men to have made his capture
would certainly have responded to the
alarm.

minutes start on us. He probably was
down in the Iron Mountain yards before
