3O-STORY BUILDING
JOhn Street Church Considering
Plans for Erection of
Skyscraper.

The congregation Of the old John
Street Methodist Church may worship
atop thirty-story skyscraper II pres
ent plans are carried out. This unique
edifice is proposed for the historic site
of the old church, and II would COM
nnemorate the growth Of American
Methodism. the l50th anniversary Of
which occurs in 1916. Mckenzie. Noor-
bees & Gmelin have already drawn ten
tative plans.
The first Methodist church was
founded in America in l776. IL met in
a loft on the southerly side Of William
81 In l77S the John Street Methodist
Church was erected. II was rebuilt in
1917 and again in ls4l. The clock
given by Wesley still hangs IN the
church.
II is believed that the building pro-
posed would increase the funds of the
church for missionary and church eN-
tension enterprises. Such a plan would
entail the expenditure OF about $1,000
600.
The church part Of the proposed
building has been designed somewhat
on the lines of the SainteChApelle in
Paris. The shape is cruciform, and in
case of illumination would represent a
cross, outlined at great height. SYM

HAYWARD BEGINS
CLEARY PROBE
Father of Slain Boy Aids
Governors Personal
Counsel with Facts.

William Hayward, Governor Whit
mans personal counsel. started yester-
DAY an investigation into the circum-
stances surrounding the acquittal Of
William V. Clesry from the charge Of
numbering his son-in-law, Eugene New
man.
Hayward. following = conference with
the Governor, left Albany on Friday
night to interview Justice Morschauser,
who presided at the trial, and it is un-
derstood that he saw the justice yes
terdsy. Mr.. Hayward could not be
reached last night. but it is believed
that ne will issue statement in this
city tomorrow explaining the lines
along which the investigation will be
carried on.
Charges against Thomas Gagan,
Democratic District Attorney, who
prosecuted Cleary, may. it is said, be
one Of the results Of the Hayward in
vestigation.
In Hayerstraw, Cleary's home and the
scene of the murder, the citizens are
reported as enthusiastic over the start
Of the inquiry and are preparing TO
give every aid. A dramatic touch is
given the matter by the fact thet Fred
r. Newman, father of the murdered boy,
is leading the demand for action ana
collecting facts TO place before Mr.
Whitman's investigator. CO.,
Newman. at the investigation, viii
point out that Cleary, town clerk ana
democratic boss of Haverstraw, was IN
tho hands of Democrats from the time
of his arrest until his acqulttal. Sherih
Serven was a Democratic follower Of
Clearv. Gagan, District Attorney is a
Democrat, and Cleary's own counsel
Comeskv, is a Democratic leader IN
Rockland County. .,,
II is expected also that Newman viii
pojnt out the failure of Gagan to bring
Cleary's daughter, Anna, before the
grand Jury and make her state wit
ness instead of letting her become the
star witness for the defence. lie VIII
also contend, il is understood, that
Gagan should have cross-eXamlned
Clcary, his wife and his daughter with
a view to ascertaining whether, as re-
ported by young Newman before his
death. Mrs. Cleary told her husband OF
the marriage before the shooting.
Stress will be laid on the character
of iurymen that Gagan permitted the
defence to select, and the claim VIII
be made by Newman that they were
men who. IL was known in advance,
would be susceptible to the defendant S
sobs al the time his daughter took the
witness chair.

MORE ACRID NOTE
TO BRITAIN LIKELY
Reply to U. S. Regarded as
Only Preliminary and
Argumentative.

Washington. Jan. 9.-While no for
NAL arrangement has been made as
yet for common action by all neutral
countries in respect to contraban5 sad
shipping, it became known tonight
that the United States had received
the sympathetic support of practically
all neutral nations in its negotiations
with Great Britain.
Recognizing the interest manifested
by the neutral governments in the in
itiative taken by the United States,
copies of the British reply 20 the
American note were ordered delivered
by Secretary Bryan TO all their diplo-
matte representatives in Washington.
When the first note was sent there
were many formal requests for copies,
and il was regarded as significant that
the British note was voluntarily sent
to them.
The text of the British note will be
made public simultaneously in both
Washington and London tomorrow af-
ternoon. IL is known that the British
note does not Undlly dispose OF lne
questions raised. but is in the nature
Of preliminary argument In au-
thoritative quarters il was said, how
ever. that another note, perhaps more
vigorous than its predecessor, would
be sent 10 Great Britain should the
safeguards which Great Britain her
self has advised for American com
merce be disregarded by the British
fleet, as the American government al
leges has occurred heretofore. While
the United States is eager TO arrange
amicably the points in dispute, its
chief cause of compleint has been
against the alleged indecision Of the
British authorities in applying their
own rules.
The greatest difficulty in the sltua-
ton centres about the question OF the
length Of time required for a thor
ough search of a merchant vessel. The
United States claims detentions and
examinations have been entirely too
long. While the tone of the British
note is said TO be conciliatory, and
Of various kinds have been
made. the situation is regarded in eX-
ecutive quarters as far from settled
and recurring further correspondence.

RUSSIANS POUR THROUGH
PASSES INTO HUNGARY
Advance Columns Reported in Pennsylvania Roads
Leading to Budapest-Cerman Advance
from Mawa Checked.

Petrograd, Jan. 9.--The advance col
umns OF the Russian army which had
swept Bukowina 10 the Rumanian bor-
der already have crossed the Carpath-
ians into the Transylvanien district Of
Hungary, according to unofficial dis
patches from the southern battle front.
While the General Staff has made no
announcement Of the extent Of the
progress, the latest official reference
to the situation in the southern part
of Bukowina showed the Russians were
at the frontier of Pennsylvania, with
command of the roads leading across
the mountains.
The Austrians, in evacuating Buko-
wilma, the unofficial dispatches say,
have left open new roads for the Rus
sian troops into the Hungarian prov
inces. These run in the direction of
the city Of -Sziget. capitol
of the county of Maramalos, at the
foot Of the Carpathians, 2l5 miles
northeast of Budapest.
The Germans, simultaneously with
the renewal Of their attacks on the left
bank of the Vistula, are developing a
new offensive from the direction Of
Mlawa, on the East Prussian frontier,
which the Russians are attempting to
counter. Some of the German attacks
on the Russian line, which runs along
the Bzura and Rawka rivers and thence
southwark TO Opoczno, and along the
Nida to Opatowiec, on the upper Vis-
tula, have been particularly severe,
but. according to the Russian report,
nave all been repulsed.
The thaw which has set in in South
ern Poland and Galicia has converted
the country into a sea of mud and
even cleared the snow from the Car
pathians, so that fighting in this re-
gion is impossible.

from general headquarters says:

Labor Department Starts
Nationwide JOb-Finding
Bureau This Week.

Washington. Jan. a national en-
ployment bureau reaching into every
section Of the United States will be
put into operation by the Department
Of Labor next week, carrying out the
suggestion of President Wilson in the
indianapolis speech for "a systematic
method Of helping the workingmen Of
America"
Preliminary work for the bureau has
Deen completed. It was announced to-
nlght by Commissioner Caminetti of
the immigration Bureau, and instruc-
tons have been sent 10 postmasters
and rural mail carriers throughout the
country and to nearly 100000 field
agents of the Department of Agricult-
urc who will cooperate with the La
Dor Department 70 bring the jobleSs
man and the manless job together. All
agents Of the immigration Bureau also
will participate in the huge task. Mr..
Caminetti said. The general plan OF
the employment bureau was outlined
by Mr. Caminetti as follows:
Notices will be posted in all post
Offices announcing that applications for
work ar workers will be received by
the postmaster, who will be supplied
with forms TO be filled out and for
warded to the Labor Department agent
in charge Of the zone in which the
office is located. The distribution
branch Of the immigration service will
handle this part of the work. and 10
them also will go the reports OF the
Department Of Agriculture agents as
TO sections where help is needed in
harvesting or other work. Applicants
will then be informed Of the place
where they can obtain work of the
kind they seek and at the nearest
point 70 them, the postal service act
ing as the distributing and collection
agency for applications and replies
throughout the transactions.
Commissioner Caminetti said the
plan was the product of months OF
labor over details. II has been tried
in a small way. and the results have
been most satisfactory. After the flre
at Salem. Mass, last June, when near
ly 1000 factory operatives were thrown
out of employment. the Labor Depart
ment succeeded in finding work for
