new CHURCH EDlFICE
TO COST $35, 900
Southern Methodists Making Plans
for Great National Sanctuary
in This City.

The contemplated new church which the
Southern Methodist denomination is TO
erect in this city on the site at Massa-
chusetts avenue. X and 9th streets north
west will cost at least $4,000 and pos
sibly 100000. according to the plans
which the leaders OF the movement, now
in session in this city. have in mind.
The building committee. ofilcered by
John c.. c. Mayo OF Paintsville. KY,
president; Gen. Julian S. Carr of Dur
ham. N. c., and r. A. Schoolfield. Dan
vile. Va. vice presidents, and j.. Adler
Stewart of Louisville, KY, secretary. met
at the Raleigh this afternoon and began
drawing up a letter which Is to be ad-
dressed to every member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, urging his
active interest in the work. The other

AS yet no architects plans have been
submitted for the proposed building. The
committee has, however. examined specl-
mems OF types of architecture, including
Gothic, pure classic Greek, Graeco-Roman
and various notifications OF these types.
The architecture of the proposed church
will follow established lines, but will be
designed above all things to typify the
American idea of progress. 1t will be
different from a CATHEDRAL church, for
such an edifice Is confined to a diocese,
while this church will be national one
so far as Southern Methodists are con-
cerned.

more than in the covering Of short con-

Expects Tobacco Decision.
Apparently much Of the forenoon sell
ing movement, which for a while was
quite active. was in anticipation Of the
American Tobacco decision from the
United States Supreme Court next Mon
day.
There is no reason why the decision
should be expected on that day any more
than on some Monday weeks or months
later. Nevertheless, for some reason. the
speculative contingent in the last few
days has developed a firm conviction that
the ruling is imminent and today 1t acted
accordingly.
So far as actual news developments
went. they appeared to figure as little In
the market as the Hilprecht translation
Of the flood story on the latest Babylonian
tablet discovery.
