GEN. R. E. LEES TOMB.
CENTER OF DISPUTE
Plan to Reconstruct Chapel on
Washington and Lee Cam
pus Opposed.

Special Dispatch TO TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
LEXINGTON, Va, Nov. 4-The Lee
Memorial Chapel on the historic campus
of Washington and Lee University
chapel built by Gen. Robert +. Lee and
containing his body--is the center or
heated controversy because OF tentative
plans of the university to remodel and
heautify the building. The chapel, built
during the ebb period of American archi-
lecture. is very small and decidedly not
thing OF beauty.
1t has long been the purpose or tne
board of trustees OF the university ID
enlarge or rebuild the chapel as soon
as the funds could be obtained. This
was apparently accomplished when the
National Order of tho United Daughters
Of the Confederaoy. having unanimously
approved the reconstruction at two pre-
ceding conventions. formally assumed
at st. Louis last November this task
as its special tribute to Gen. Lee. ap-
pointed Lee mausoleum committees ana
began raising q fund OF $150.00O.
When the movement was well under
way jealous campaign was launched
by group OF local Daughters against
the "desecratiop" of the chapel. They
protest that the chapel is going TO be
enlarged to serve es college audi
torium," where student rallies, cheer
ing rehearsals and gatherings OF like
boisterous nature will be held.
The campaign has been so energetic
and the propaganda so effective that
the national organization Is on tha
point of withdrawing Its support for tia
reconstruction project. The university
authorities. in their eforts to prevent
this step. are publishing a pamphlet
containing the following statement of
their side of the question.
'First-The chapel is not large enough
to accommodate the student body OF to-
day. much less OF tomorrow. There
fore, to remain in use II must be en-
larged or abandoned.
'Second-Gen. Lee built tho chapel
primarily as place OF worship, not as
a museum It would defeat his purpose
to remove II from the place it holds In
the life OF the university.
"Third-The chapel is a veritable
tinderbox. having two furnaces immedi-
ately under a pine floor. Thousands OF
cigarette smokers visit Il every year.
and the building Is not watched at
night The town has only a volunteer
fire department.
"Fourth-The recumbent statue OF Lee
and his mausoleum are cut off by fire
doors and might escape unharmed, but
within the chapel itself are priceless
paintings and memorials. Gilbert
Stuart's Washing" Peale's Washing
ton and Lafayette" and many other un-
replaceable portraits are hung there.
"Fifth-The first impressions of the
chapel formed by visitors are usually
bad, due to its unprepossessing appear
ance. In the judgment of the trustees
the South's memorial to Gen. Lee
should be more impressive and fitting"

Raw Fur Trade Quiet.

Little developed in the raw fur trade.
A sprinkling of buying of trimming
furs by the cloak and suit trade was
felt, but the market in general was
rather quiet. Raw furs arc In strong
hands which are able to hold them for
n long time despite lethargic demand.
Fur merchants are cheerful and believe
that orders from the garment trade will
swell as a result of the better demand
for fur trimmed garments.
Heavy fur garments have not moved
as briskly rs was expected in View OF
the cool weather. The small demand Is
largely centered on high grade mer-
chandse. while medium and low grade
goods arc moving slowly. Short coats
are selling well.
Coat and suit manufacturers reported
a decided Improvement in sales OF fur
trimmed garments as n result OF the
continued seasonable weather Good re-
orders were received and manufacturers
reported some difficulty In filling them
as promptly as desired. Manufacturers
are beginning TO turn their attention
toward the coming spring season. 1t is
expected that the lines will be displayed
around the first of December.

TRADE REVIEW AND
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Raw Silk Price Highest in Two
Years-0ther Primary
Textiles Advance.
FINISHED GOODS ALSO UP
Purchasers at Retail Begin to
Feel Effect Of Higher
Quotations.

The upward movement of prices in
the primary textile markets seemed to
gain momentum last week. while trading
continued heavy Raw silk values
climbed to the highest peak in two years,
causing silk goods manufacturers to re-
adjust their prices to bring them on
more even plane with primary quota
tions. The continued strengthening of
raw wool prices necessitated further
advances in wooden and worsted dress
goods and carpet and rug values. An
other squirt in raw cotton prices lifted
both unfinished and finished goods prices
to higher levels for the current move
ment. Raw fur prices continued to hold
their ground, although demand was far
from brisk.
The fact that retailers throughout the
country report current sales larger than
last wear and in many instances the
largest since the war has dispelled fears
that higher prices will scare buyers. Ike
tail prices are beginning TO slowly renect
the higher prices in the primary ana
finished goods markets. Retailers are
feeding the advances TO consumers In
cautious manner, but 1t Is unlikely that
consumers will be forced to pay the full
increases before the new year. A con-
siderable portion of the advances in the
urinary market is being absorbed by
the manufacturer. wholesale and re-
