REALTY MARKET
 REPORTS DEALS AROUND AO,OOO
Definite Announcement A Is Made Of Handsome New
 Doctors Offices
SENATOR JAMES A. REED

Under the spur Of reported building developments the real estate market climbed to unprecedented levels Thurs day when deals involving an aggregate figure of $400,000 were consummated.
 Two of these transactions swung southside property, ostensibly neglected in the recent boom of values, to record smashing marks.
 Two corners in the same vicinity changed hands for considerations ag- gregating $220000. One was at Ave nue F and Twentieth street, the trans fer being from the Bank of Ensley to Alex Kontos, and the consideration, $120,000. The other was the north west corner of Twenty-first street and Avenue B, which changed hands for an amount near $100,000.
 The name of the new owner of the property was withheld by R. s. w. BS0wne and J. W. Hamm, who nego- tiated the transfer. The site was for merly owned by Henry Ruff of Califor- mia.
 A third feature of activity in. prop erty in the downtown district was the announcement of definite program for the northeast corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street by the Fourth Building company in the form of 12- story office building.
 To Start In July
 Work on this structure will begin late in July, it is stated, and cost around $850,000 The building, having a 100-foot depth and 100-foot frontage, will be used for offices of professional men, catering largely to dentists and physicians. It is being promoted by Ray Schultz, of athe Smith -Throck- mOrton-Schultz Realty company, who will act as rental agents for the build ing. Plans for the building were drawn by Warren, Knight & Davis.
 Property on the southwest corner of the corner of tl5 same intersection was sold to Val Nesbit for price near $50,000, according to an announce ment of the Moseley- Henderson and Davis Realty company. Nesbit, it is stated, is considering the improvement of this site with business block. It has a frontage of 100 feet on Fourth avenue and 75 feet on Twenty third street.
 The same firm reported negotiation closed for the southwest corner of Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street, which. it is understood, will be inn proved by stores by the new owner, J. c. Whitfield. The purchase was made from the Birmingham Trust and Saw ings bank as trustees of the estate of George S. Brown. Approximately $45,- 900 figured in the transaction.
 Smaller Sales
 The Browne-Hamm combination, be- sides the $100,000 southside deal, also turned several smaller sales, important of which were the northeast corner of

NOMINATE, IS PLEA
 OF JOHN 4. LUSK

CONVENTION HALL, N. Y, July 3.-The sentiment of apparent ly an overwhelming number of the delegates was expressed tonight in a resolution offered from the floor of the convention by John A. Lusk, of Gun tersville, Ala, which provided for continuous session of the convention until a nomination be made.
 Lusk, in a statement, declared that the convention had been in session long enough to nominate a dozen candidates and should get down to work with de- termination to bring matters to a con clusiOn.
 Congressman Finis Garrett, of Ten nessee, made a point of order against the Lusk resolution, however, and the point was declared by Chairman Walsh to have been well taken. There were howls of disappointment, but the ruling of the chairman was not formally questioned.

 Tt is an outrageous traN esty."
 Smith to Stick
 The positive statement was made by Smith leaders that they would continue to hold their forces in position, until the vote decreased to less than one-third of the delegates present and voting until the McAdoo forces had lost the power of veto.
 AS long as the MeAdoo forces have the veto power, or more than third of the delefates present and voting" Franklin D. Roosevelt said, i've will stay right where we are or so near it that the change will be negligible"
 Smith leaders disclaimed that they were responsible directly for the dead lock which has gripped the convention. On the other hand they argued that the McAdoo strength was a veto over all other candidates and that until the Me Adoo forces were able to gain the two thirds vote necessary for nomination or dropped to the point where it. no longer blocked the way to a nomination of another candidate there would be only slight changes in the Smith votes.
 Causes No Worry
 From all indications the ap- parently indefinite deadlock caused no worry on the part of Underwood, Sauls- bury, and other favorite sons.
 At 8 o'clock the McAdoo vote stood at 46S while at the close last night it was 50412. Smith at 317 last night climbed to 335.
 Davis of West Virginia finishing yes- terday's voting with 67, had 60 on. the last ballot tonight and 'Ralston, who started the day with 30 and at one time had attained total of 97, finished with 371a.
 The only large blocks of votes that changed from one of the leaders to an- other during the 19 ballots taken today and tonight were those of Missouri, Mississippi and Oklahoma. Early in the morning session, Oklahoma left Me Adoo and went to Senator Robinson of Arkansas, then returned for a ballot to McAdoo and again switched to Senator Owen of Oklahoma. The Missouri and

 MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, July 3.-John W. Davis has faded from the picture. His place among the tri- umvirate from which the convention must choose nominee for the presi- dency has been taken by Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
 Robinson of Arkansas, Ralston, of Indiana, and Ritchie areA the likely candidates Suggestions that William Jennings Bryan injured the cause of Robinson when he named the Arkansas man as worthy of the nomination in a rambling, pointless speech before the convention, Wednesday, are without foundation in fact.
 Bryan muddied the waters a bit and that is all. His words initiated noth- ing.
 Trade Brewing I
 There is brewing among the practical politicians of the convention a desire for vice presidential trade that will solve the deadlocked troubles of the delegates. Such a vice presidential deal is in the immediate offing.
 I don't care to name the man who is to figure in the second place transaction but it is necessary to place on the tick ct a man capable of carrying the essen tial eastern states for a ticket headed by an Indiana or Arkansas presidential nominee.

Russians To Charge Admission
 To St. Isaacks

LENINGRAD, July 3.-(By Asso- ciated Press s.)-Church attendance in bolshevik Russia has decreased to such an extent that many churches are on the point of closing their doors. Con tributions from the congregations are so meagre that they scarcely maintain the churches and pay the slender sal aries of the clergymen.
 As a result the governing body of St. Isaacks cathedral has decided to convert the superb edifice, erected at a cost exceeding $11 100000, into mu- scum and charge admission.
 Tourists for years have been im- pressed by the cathedral's columns of red granite, golden dome, doors of solid bronze, pillars of lapis lazuli and nal achite, rich sculptures in striking bronze relief, and huge ecclesiastical vessels of gold and silver.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-04

HI IOuay S NVllH6 tHSNC was lhOh' away from McAdoo for short period and a consequent gain by Ralston of Indiana until he passed John w. Davis and stood in third place with almost a hundred votes. But before the night session was ended virtually all the McAdoo strength had returned. and Ralston again was trailing far behind.
 The proposal for withdrawal of the two high men led Mir. Rockwell, speak ing on behalf of the McAdoo supporters to issue this formal statement:
 ''The newspaper suggestion which has been made that the names of MT. Me Adoo, the overwhelming leader in the voting, and Governor Smith, receiving the next highest figure, be withdrawn, so that some of the candi- dates receiving a far smaller vote may be able to be nominated, is absurd as we'll as unjust. Whoever heard of withdrawing who is receiving one-half of the conventions vote?
 From Other End
 "The withdrawing comes at the other end. If there be any withdrawals, they should, of right, be from among the list of favorite sons, the attitude of whose friends is preventing the convention from effecting the nomination of any candidate.
 No clique or cabal should be allowed to thwart the will of this convention. The democratic party can i'll afford to copy the tactics used by the republicans in Chicago in 1920.
 "The favorite sons have been con- stantly before the convention and every has been given them to de- velop their strength. If any candidates are to withdraw, it should be they.
 ''The overwhelming force of this con vention is supporting either Mir. Me Adoo or Governor Smith. It i'll be- comes candidates with but handful of votes to keep the convention deadlocked. The real and only contest is between Mir. McAdoo and Governor Smith. For sixty ballots, these favorite sons have deadlocked this convention, and have not allowed the real strength of
