 II is stated that the students at Se- vapee feel deeply the loss Of Major Butt aboard the Titanic and have conceived the idea of perpetuating his name by the
 handsome gymnasium.
 MT. Claiborne said yesterday that the movement was sure to be great success. Two of Sewanee were greatly attached to Major Butt said MT. Claiborne yester- day. and the gymnasium v'u assuredly
 be erected to the memory of that splen- did American. I do not think more ap- propriate action could be taken by the whole south than erecting that monu- ment to man who typified the best traditions that we hold dear"

Lloyd, f ormer Bishop of Virginia, will leave today for Huntsville. accompanied by the Rev Carey Gamble. He will deliver three ser mons in that city upon the mission work, in which he is so deeply interested and to which he has devoted years of his life.
 The distinguished visitor after listening to the address of Rev. MT.

He was shown around Highland avenue, through Mountain Terrace. Norwood, Owenton, Ensley, Corey and other points of in terest locally.
 At Ensley the visitor was shown through the works by Charles J. Barr general superintendent of that division, who explained to Bishop Lloyd the pro- cesses used in turning out the noted open hearth rails.

UNIQUE SITUATION
 FOUND AT LOTHIAN
Monsalvatge Is Working to Secure Rector for the Five Episco-
 palian Families

Alfred Monsalvatge of Dothan is at tending the diocesan council at St. Mary's church and conducting a lone fight for the appointment of an Epis- copal rector in that city. He held fre- quent consultations yesterday with Bishop Beckwith and other leading ehurchmen in reference to the desire of the Dothan people, but so far no action has been taken.
 He said yesterday in discussing the situation at Dothan that only five Episcopalian families reside there in a city of 10000 persons, but that a church has already been erected there. The church was thrown open and Sunday school started. but no rector has yet been in the pulpit. It is stated that the communicants at Dothan will grow, and that 1t is a fertile field for some good work. It is probable that some action will be taken today upon the Dothan situation.
