EXPECTS congress
T0ADJOURNJ JULY 10
Senator Kern Sees President
and Predicts Session Will
Be Over by That Date.

Probable adjournment of Congress by
July 10 was predicted today by Senator
Kern. democratic leader of the Senate,
after White House conference at
which the President and Senators Kern,
Hoke Smith and O'Gorman discussed the
legislative program. Senator Kern said
he believed the Panama canal tolls re-
peal bill would be disposed of within
two weeks. and that the administration
antitrust program would be completed
before adjournment. He said he was
hopeful the rural credits bill would be
reached.
I'VE are not going to stay here all sum
mer, YOU may be sure of that. said Sen
ator Kern.
Upon returning to the Capitol Senator
OGorman said that every effort would
be made to arrange legislation to allow
adjournment early in July.
Senator Newlands chairman of the Sen
at interstate commerce committee in
charge of the antitrust BILL later con-
ferred with the President. He said that
an antitrust measure would be passed
lin some form before adjournment.
No Intention to Cut Program.
Senator Kern explained that there was
no intention to curtail the so-called legis
sary appropriation bills, the Panama
canal tolls repeal bill and the antitrust
bill The rural credits and immigration
bills may not be taken up by the Senate
at the present session, although the Sena-
tor said that his calculations left plenty
of time for the consideration of these
measures.
If the Senate foreign relations commit
tee reports out the convention adopted
by the safety-at-sea conference in Lon
don the Senate may spend many hours
in executive session in the fight to ratify
that convention
Senator Kern said that there was no
evidence on the part of senators on either
side to filibuster against any subject, and
that in the absence of such dilatory tao
ties he believed the Senate could finish its
business July s or July 10.
He estimated that thirty senators would
speak on tolls and possibly fifty on trust
legislation. There is no plan at present.
he said to begin Senate sessions earlier
than noon nor intention to meet later
than O'Clock. Eleven o'clock may be
made the meeting hour later, and if nee
cssary night sessions will be resorted to
to get trust speeches out Of the way.

Payment of Dividendsp

The general result of this operation
was, then, that the New Haven loaned
money to the New England Navigat ton
Company. with which to pay that COM
panys dividends to the New Haven?"
suggested Mr.. Folk.
That was the effect of the trans
actions Mr.. Brown replied
The same sort of TRANSACTIONS anip-
ulations they were called by Mr. Folk
were gone through with in the early
summer Of 1912. 1t amounted. according
to the testimony. of changing money from

only of making a showing of book dvi-
dendS."
Mr.. Brown further said that last De-
cember one obligation of the New Eng
gland Navigation Company to the New
Hayen for s2.1oo1no. and another for
s2,91Gho. remained unpaid
Then the entire result of these trans
actions" said Mr.. Folk was to enable
the New England Navigation Company
and its subsidiaries to make showing
of paying dividends the money with
which to pay them being New Haven
money?
That is the situation replied
Mr. Brown was shown an audited ac-
count of expenditures made by the New
Haven road between July |. 1872. and
December !. 1919. covering payments to
legislative counsel. agents. lobbyists or
others for work in connection with leg

services. other than sums paid to regu-
lar counsel. SOS. 1881. and for advertis-
ing and other publicity S310.5SS.31
Mr.. Brown said he had gone over the

T. A. Cram, the Present Architect, Has
Made Radical Changes in the Plans
for the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine Which if Carried Out Will
Make the Structure the Most Nota-
bic Constructed in Any Country
Since the Fifteenth Century

comparatively short 1t is estimated
that each Of these bays will cost to
build about 100000. making a total for
the nave Of about $1,000 900.
The most radical change In the gen.
eral design Of the cathedral has been
the elimination Of the great central
dome or tower. In the original plans
the cathedral was dominated by a great
central tower rising to a height of about
500 feet. The present architect decided
at once that the dome must go, since
it was inconsistent with the Gothic
style
1t has not been determined what will
take its place. and this important de-
tail may not be settled for years. In
the tentative drawings Of the cathedral
this problem. 1t will be seen, is frankly
evaded The tower or towers which will
eventually dominate the cathedral
whatever their position, will probably
rise, however, to a height Of about 500
feet, as originally planned.
The problem Of the central dome or
tower is extremely battling. There Is no
architectural precedent for Gothic
tower Of such dimensions. The famous
twin towers of the Cathedral Of Notre
Dame in Paris, which are among the
largest Gothic towers ever designed,
are about forty feet in width. The CEN
trail tower Of st. Johns Cathedral to
be kept in proportion to the structure
would have to have a width of 40 feet.
Such "A tower has never been designed
in this style. II the largest Gothic
tower were copied it would have to be
multiplied three times in size. and the
result would be an architectural mon
strosity. 1t Is pointed out by the
present architect that such tower
would compare with other towers as the
dinosaurs with Its exaggerated neck
compares with other animals.
The central portion Of the cathedral
is very embarrassing inheritance.
Even had the original designs for the
cathedral been followed It is believed
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-21

that the architects would have come to
grief in building the great dome. The
architectural problems encountered call
for man Of genius in this particular
style, and It Is a question II the present
century has produced such an artist.
There are many who believe that Rich
ardson could have solved the problem,
but Richardson is not living.
Were the cathedral Of classic design,
it is pointed out, the problem would be
comparatively simple, since the decora-
tons could have been elaborated indef-
nitely. The Gothic style, however. de-
ponds upon units. Its strength and
delicacy depend upon its structure as
well as its decorations.
In the original design two great
towers rose at the front OF the
church on a line with Amsterdam ave-
nue., The present architect will prob
ably made a radical change in the ar
rangement. 1t Is now planned to place
these towers we'll back and to raise two
smaller towers at either side Of the west
four great towers. The smaller OF these
towers will seem very large in COM
parison with those Of ordinary churches.
The great central towers. which will
probably rise to height of 500 feet,
will in a measure replace the great CEN
trail dome Of the original design. 1t
will be seen that the plans are exceed
ingly elastic. The details Of the decora-
tons shown in the plans already pre-
pared are for the most part suggestive
and VIII not be definitely determined on
for many years.
The question Of the materials to be
used Is also open. The massive ma
sonry of the great arch which is now
conspicuous for so great a distance will
ultimately be entirely covered 1t seems
highly probable, however that the eff
fects gained by the cathedral arch.tec;
in his other churches, notably st.
Thomas's, will be reproduced on more
elaborate scale on Mornlngside Heights.
