CHURCH REFUSES
OFFER OF $4,000
GRACE STREET PREsBYTERIANs
ARE NOT YET READY TO
SELL OUT.
CONSOLIDATION RUMORS
REPORTED THAT TWO FL0Cks MAY
MERGE--sECoND BAPTIsTs
MAY MOVE TO
WEST END.
CONSOLIDATION RUMORS

Though offered $4,000 for Its prop
erty at the northeast corner of Grace
and Fourth streets Grace Street Pres
byterian church Is not prepared to sell
out at this time. So decided the ON
GERS of the church at q special session
few nights ago. the proposition hav-
ing been made by the Kaufman Com
rany, it is reported The officers were
of the opinion that they might move
at sorne later date. but at this juncture
they deemed 1t best to stay where they
arc. In view of the fact that a large
proportion OF the congregation still
resides In the older residential section.
II is regarded as likely that the church
viii move to the West End at some
date in the future.
Meanwhile there Is some talk that
Grace Street may merge with the First
Church. located at Madison and Grace
Streets. less than ten blocks farther
out Grace. 1t is understood, though.
that the proposed consolidation has
not Yet assumed tangible shape.
Fronts 81 Feet.
Grace Street church has frontage
OF 81 Ia feet on Grace Street, with
depth OF 1870 feet along Fourth. rum
ming back TO kaufmann's wholesale
department which faces IS feet on
Fourth Street and is located imme-
dlateiy in the rear OF the company's
retail establishment fronting 80 feet
on Broad. II is thus seen that the
price offered was at the rate of a
tritie more than $1,000 n foot.
Plans are now being worked out for
enlargement OF the Kaufman estab-
lishment, the idea being 10 include the
two sorry frame structures at 4a3-4o5
East Broad in the plans, and perhaps
the building next door occupied by
the Shepherd Ice Cream emporium
which Ia now owned by r. Nelson.
Leases Allan Home.
The Kaufman has secured a lease
On the residence OF the Allan estate
adjoining Grace Street Church and al
ready owns the residence next door
to that property, the Allan residence
having a frontage of g f-2 feet and
the adjoining residence a frontage Of
- 50 feet
Another report has been recently 60
sug the rounds 10 the eTect that the
Second Baptist congregation was
thinking Of selling it's ediflca at Adams
and Franklin to Grace Street Bap-
list and would move 10 the West End
II appears that there is nothing in
this report, either, though there may
be Developments later.
Thsatsr Report Denied.
Promoters of the so-caiied Waller
stein theatcr at Eighth and Grace
Streets, directly across Grace from ST.
Peters Catholic church, entered en-
phasic denial Monday To the report
that the theater site has been pur-
chased by the protesting church peo-
pie at figure In the neighhorhood
Of 100000. IT was stated that plans
fer jhe playhouse would soon be ready
and then work OF construction would
be commenced without delay.
According to the report, the theater
people had secured an option on a
site several blocks to the westward on
Grace Street on which the theater
would be erected.

AMBASSADOR
 DENIES CHARGES Was Not Guilty of Indeco- .rOus Conduct at Mexi-
 can Banquet

Mexico City, July 15.-Moved by pub lished accounts of alleged unpatriotic conduct at a recent Independence Day breakfast attended by President De La Barra, several members of his cabinet and many prominent Mexicans and Am bassador Henry Lane Wilson today au- thorized the following statement:
 fTelegrams appeared on July and July 6, in many American papers, re- porting that at the breakfast which fol- lowed the Fourth of July exercises the American ambassador, MT. Wilson, failed to respond with the customary recog- milton when the American national air was played, and that he rose to his feet after everyone else had done so.
 This story Is entirely without founda- tion; no such incident occurred, and no conversation whatever on the subject took place, and the first news to the Mexican public that there was charge of such indecorous conduct came with the arrival of the American papers con- taining the telegrams When the national air was played the ambassador was the first one to rise to his feet, in company with the president
 "The ambassador makes this statement, not because he believes the public is in- terested in his affairs. but as the only means in his power of correcting unjust and untruthful attacks, calculated to af- feet the usefulness of the American em- bassy in this capital"
