 ERECT CHURCH
 HAVING OFFICES
Three and Half Million Dollar Structure Going Up
 Tn Chicago.


 CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The largest building housing the Methodist, De- nomination, if not the largest Prot. estant building, in the world, will be in process of construction here with. in a year. .+s
 It will be the new First Methodist Episcopal Church to be situated in the very center of this -city's busi- ness district, at Clark and Washing ton streets.
 While it will at first house all of the Methodist organizations in this vicinity. similar organizations of oth- CT denominations are negotiating for office space, so that in the course of a few years it is probable that this great building may become the greatest Protestant headquarters in America, if not in the world.
 The building is to cost $3,500,000 and will be situated on ground val width of 80 feet, depth of 1892 feet and it's tower will rise 40 feet from street level. a.$
 One of it's striking identification marks will be huge revolving cross at the top of the tower and it's ar chitects are the authority for the statement that the cross will be the largest revolving illuminated cross in the world.
 The architect plans have been ac- cepted and the negotiations looking toward the erection of this building have been proceeding for months. AS now planned the building is to be 21 stories in height. 1S2 feet in depth on Clark Street, and 80 feet front on Washington Street. The building is to be of Gothic architec- ture, with tower of Gothic design. Though a great city skyscraper, it will be churchly in appearance and presents the aspect of great ca thedral.
 This. church, popularly known as .Clark Street." was organized in 1884, being the first Methodist church and probably the first Protestant church of any denomination in Chi cago. J.a B .pt M
 There will be great church audi torium which will be a gathering place for all great religious gather ings of the city. Rooms for all sorts of social and religious purposes will be provided An outstanding feature will be the Forum in which the great public and social questions Of the day will be freely discussed in a Christian sympathetic atmosphere. All the features which have become so through such institutions as West! minister Hall and Toynbee Hall in London are being studied for sug- gestions
 In addition to this the office part of the building will become the head quarters of all of the great Methe- dist organizations of Chicago.
 According to the present plans the actual work of construction will be- gin about May l, 1922.

REALM OF DEATH
 ABLAZE IN COLOR
 SAYS REVIVED BOY

EVANSTON. H., Aug. 1o.-Roland Any, 20 years old, student at Northwestern University, who was pronounced dead, began to prepare for the Society of Psychical Research a paper on his 45 minutes in the lsnd of death =
 eff you can imagine a wofld filled with the most gorgeous daubs of flu turistic color-purpaes and golds and crlrlsons-a world peopled by a fan tistic variety of beings resembling more nearly than anything else Rus sian ballet dancers. a rhythmic world pulsing constantly to a l, Z. 8. 4 measure if you can imagine all this you will have an idea of the taste ol death and the hereafter that I ex perienced."
 Such was the way that Aby de- scribed his experience. He was pro nounced dead by Captain Charles Garland, of the United States Coast Guard. His canoe had capsized.
 I am not altogether sure of the nature of that life. if life it be. but that there is a continuation of hu- man consciousness after the the n. menon we call death I no longer doubt" Aby said

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts To Flush Kidneys If Back Hurts or Bladder
 Rnfharc

If you must have your meat every day eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally. says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost par alyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expell. it from the blood. They be. come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with dull misery. in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan nels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids to cleanse the Kidneys and flush off the bOdys urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in glass of water for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia and has beei used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine. SC 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

CAN CHEAT GYPSIES
 IN SELECTING WIFE;
 POOR HAVE CHANCE

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 10. Although it is the custom among the gypsies to have the parents of the prospective bridegroom pur- chase a wife, for their son, covetous wealthy candidates are not always successful even when bidding larger sums for the maiden's hand.
 . Such was the information glean- cd by John D. Greenhouse, local attorney, who acted as counsel for a Chicago gypsy mother and father, when they came here in an attempt to take back their daughter whom they charged was kidnapped, while the mother of the groom-elect main tained she had paid s2,000 for the girl as a wife for her son.
 T have learned that when the mother of a girl among the gypsies takes a liking to young man and considers him suitable for her daughter, nominal price will always get the brideto-be even though there are other offers much higher by men not so well liked" declared MT. Greenhouse.
 The attorney said that under the traditional customs |, of the gypsies, the younger generation has no voice in determining their mates, and the matching is matter for the parents only.
 Generally, the mother of a young man, usually around his 18th year. picks out a girl, dickers with her parents and buys her outright" the attorney said. Then they are mar ried according to gypsy law, after which the groom's parents, in al most every case, start him in busi- ness of some kind to make a liveli-
 hood. :"
 In recent years, certain gypsy parents, after obtaining money for their daughters, have invoked the l American law and had the daugh- ters returned, just to resell them, according to MT Greenhouse. In
 most cases, however, when the
 young suitor is thus outwitted, his
 parents get their money returned by
 going before a gypsy tribunal, be- , fore which trial is held, he said.
 A few of these cunning gypsies, however, fail to adher to their na- tive laws and the gypsy courts de- : cisions, and with the aid of the !. American statutes, defraud parents of the suitor, he added. For such } an act. however, the gypsies are dis owned by their people, the attorney said.
 MT. Greenhouse said a settle ! ment had been effected in the case with which he was connected, by havlng the money returned to the young mans parents and the girl returned with her parents to

Indians Will Share
Bonus, Newton Rules
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ALBANY, Aug. 6.-The Indians of
the state will be rewarded under the
soldiers bonus law, if that act is de-
clared constitutional by the Court of
Appeals. under an opinion of Attorney
General Charles D. Newton. The
Bonus Commission was doubtful of it's
right to give bonuses to the reservation
Indians who served in the World War
because of previous court decisions
which held that they were not citizens
and therefore not amenable to state
laws.
Attorney General Newton holds that
the question of their citizenship is not
involved. He declared the fact that
they are residents of the state en-
titles them to the bonus, pointing out
that the Federal selective service act
called to the. colors "all male persons
between the ages of twenty-one and
thirty, inclusive, in accordance with
regulations to be prescribed by the
President" He declared that the act
said nothing about citizenship, and that
all Federal acts take precedence over
state laws. The members of the Bonus
Commission are deeply pleased with
the opinion, as they were particularly
desirous of rewarding the Indians be-
cause of their bravery in the war.

Toxic Opinion
Turns Toward
Harding's Plan
Conference Regarded as an
Epoch-Making Effort to
Reach an Understanding
OH Needs of the World
Disarming to Aid Trade
Opposition Party Still Con-
tends, However, for Intro
duction of Racial Issue

TOXIC, Aug. (By The Assoc ated
ress).-While the powers are discuss
ing the program for the proposed con-
ference at Washington, the trend of
public opinion here continues in the
direction of regarding the conference
as an epoch-making effort to reduce
unremunerative expenditures and reach
a practical understanding on the needs
and wishes of the nations of the world.
This is evident despite the reiterated
fears of some publcists that Japan
will have the place of "a chopping
board" at Washington.
Constructive suggestions are being
made, while the idea is beginning to
take hold that reduction of border
armaments would permit Japan to i'm
prove commercial development in Asia,
particularly in China, by diverting to
industry the wealth spent on warships.
Some of the members of the Kensei-
kal, or opposition party, favor move
ment for JapaneseChinese cooperation
by the introduction at the conference
Of the question of racial equality.
Touching on the disarmament, Mar
quis Okuma, former Premier, in an
address to the Education Society to-
day, said that if Japan could save
2o0,0OO,0OO yen annually by arma-
ment reduction it should all be spent
in education.
They also urge the inclusion of Hol-
land, on account of the vital interests
OF that nation in the Far East, and the
exclusion of Italy, because of the alb
sence of such interests.
Some of the latest comment in the
newspapers indicates how certain Japa-
nese circles are convinced that the con-
ference should be seized as an oppor-
tunity for the consideration of matters
vitality affecting the empires economic
future. After recommending the de-
struction of the naval and military
equipments Of the northern Pacific
islands of Ponin, Liu-Kiu and the Pes
cadores and Hawaii, Guam and the
Philippines, the Osaka Manichi Shin
bun urges insistence upon equal op-
portunity throughout the world, the
establishment of the principle of
economic freedom by equitable dis
trlbutlon of raw materials, free migra-
ton of races, with the guaranty Of
freedom of labor and protection, the
sovereignty of China and, finally, the
establishment of peace policy toward
Russia
Sir Charles Eliot. the British Am
bassador, conferred yesterday with
Foreign Minister Uchida over the pre-
liminary negotiations for the confer
ence.
Japan has agreed to November II as
the date for the beginning of the dis
conference in Washington

members of the association, Ericsson

he recommended that an investigating
committee make thorough investiga-

other irregularities. A committee was
appointed and an investigation was
begun. This committee, it is said. was
not recognized by the national officers,
but quickly confirmed the shortage re-
ported by brennan.
The business agents had succeeded
in placing the records and documents
on a truck before they were stopped
on Friday night, and after the arrival
of the reserves the stuff was hauled

Introduction Would Invite
Controversy That System
Was Designed to Avoid

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Cost Of la
po' allowances to railroads for the six
months guarantee period following
government control will include only
increased wages and not alleged "in-
eihclency of labor" factors, under de-
cision handed down to-day bv the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Under the ruling the carriers must
stand any loss incidental to ALLEGED
unwlllingness or inability of labor to
perform during the guarantee period
~ prlVa1e control as much work as
before the war The question invo,ves
thei basis of claims by the railroads
against the government for labor
costs in operation and maintenance
Claims founded upon alleged inef-
fectiveness of labor during the period
amount to "some tens of millions of
dollars" the decision said.
ne controversy centered on the
meaning of the words "cost of labor"
as they were used in the standard
contracts between the government and
the railroads at the time the roads
were taken over during the war. The
Director General of Railroads CON
eehoed mat the contract intended to
guarantee the rates or pay per unit
lor raliroad labor, while the carriers
argued that labor should be computed
IN terms of the accom- plishment of y
given result, and hence the words in
cluded in their meaning quality as
we'll as wages of labor.
The words cost of labor" the
commission held, "do not, we think.
open the door to a comparison of the
quality. or efficiency of labor. To hold
otherwise would be contrary to tho
plain intent of the proviso, for it is is
by resort to the accounts
OF the carriers to determine the relas
i've efhciency of labor at various ne
RODS. and the introduction of this in
detnlte and intangible factor would
4ave NAV relegated the accounting test to
tne q. very limbo of controversy and con.
met of opinion which it was desiened
to avoid" '''sneo
