PUBLIC TO BE ASKED
TOCHOOSE DESIGN
Trustees of the Cathedral OF ST
John the Divine Thus Agree
on Exterior.

Differences Of opinion have arisen
among tho trustees Of the Cathedral OF
st. John the Divine over the new de-
sign for the cathedral exterior
Finding themselves unable TO agree.
they have voted TO call in the judg-
ment Of the public. Duplicate designs
are at once TO he placed on exhibition
in the new synod hall Of the cathedral
grounds and at the Architectural
League Building. In 57th street, near
Broadway. Bishop Greer favors the
new design, the Rev. DR.. Henry Lubeck
the old. and each side has a large fol
lowing.
The original design, adopted some
years ago, was made by Helms & La
Farge. A feature OF II was great
central tower, ending in a spire, that
completely covered the great crossing
AT the western end were two towers
Other parts OF the exterior were plain,
and. as many held, the whole was
simple. dignifed and impressive.
Not long since Mr.. Helms. the sur
viying architect Of the firm, was sup
planted by Ralph A. Cram, of the firm
Of Cram, Goodhue * Ferguson. The
new Cram exterior presents two COM
panion spires in place or the one CEN
tral tower. There are other spires and
towers TO the number of seven. There
is hardly a square foot OF exterior
space that is not covered with some or
nament II Is this marked difference,
the one plain, the other florid, that the
public is TO be asked to decide between.
A curious dilemma has arisen con-
cerning the new S3jO,OOO synod hail.
il was given by the late Messrs. Nor
gan and Cutting for the use OF the
Episcopal general conventions. The
question comes up, Does the convention
own IL? Is the deed TO he in it's name?
or does the diocese Of New York own
il? or. finally, do the trustees OF the
cathedral own It? There is no fund to
pay for its light and heat, and yet It is
in constant use.
It was said yesterday that about
$3.50. 900 has been secured toward the
81. 100000 needed 10 complete the
cathedral nave, but that until the mat
ter Of the exterior design Of the whole
structure is decided upon work cannot
well proceed. Critics are invited to
give their views on the two designs TO
Bishop Greer or TO the trustees.

yesterday for not attending Thanksgiving

learned that he decided TO attend a church
where mass IS being celebrated instead
am very sorry.
II also learned with regret the reason
he gave for being present at the Catholic
service instead of one I'm church of his
own religion. He said he wished to OBJ
serve the precedent established by former
Presidents.
Personally, | feel that is the weakest
excuse he might have given. II any
President ever put his foot through the
bounds OF precedent President Wilson IS
the man. lie has no regard for precedent
whatever"
AS illustrations. DR.. Mackay mentioned
the fact that the President had decided
against New Years receptions. and had
said he would spend Thanksgiving quietly.

at the White House
"I am sure, however, DR. Mackay
added, that President Wilson attended
the Catholic service only as President
and that as n man would rather be

ungracious act TO criticse the President
