BUILDING SOON

Boring to test the ground for the
foundation of the new Department
Of Commerce building, on Fifteneth
Street south of Pennsylvania Ave
nue., win begin within the next two
wooks, it was said at the Treasury
Department today.
Actual construction on the north
ern wing, which will be first to pc
built. probably win not begin before
winter, inasmuch as it is the plan
of the Treasury Department to sub
init all final designs TO Congress
before going ahead with the work.
The plans of York & Sawyer,
New York architects, will be sub
mitted to the Terasury's committee
of consultant architects at its next
meeting in September.
The ramshackle structures be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth,
G and E Streets, will be RACED as
soon as the six months grace given
for removal of tenants has ex-
pired.
The temporary Internal Revenue
building. howver, will not be de-
molished until the new structure is
ready, 1t is not probable the
plaza to face Pennsylvania Avenue
at Fifteenth Street will be started
until construction work on the De-
partment of Commerce building is
well advanced.

j. 5. SEEKS SHIP
KILLER Of Z
BY International News Service

By International News Service
NEW YORK, July 2O.-Preceded
by weird tales of the murder of the
shippers wife, the death of the
first mate, and killer at large on
her decks, the four-masted schooner
Kingsway was expected to ar
rive in Quarantine today after a
years voyage from Perth Amboy
to the gold coast of Africa.
Assistant Federal Attorneys
Simpson and Mintzer were to go
down the bay in a Government
tug. to hold preliminary court on
deck before any person is allowed
to leave the schooner.
The most fragmentary communi-
cations have come from the vessel,
which is without wireless, to Gov.
eminent officials here.
The master of a trader reported
to the American consul at Monrovia
that the Kingsway had signalled
a message of the murder, from the
Barbados cablegram told of the
vessels call, June %, with her first
mate dead
That was ALL until today when
the Inflated craft was reported off
Barnegat light.
The master is Capt. F.. E. Lawry.
The mate, reported dead, is Fred
Mortimer, 20. well-known figure in
Jack London's The Mutiny of the
Elsinore."

BOOK Of PRAYER
REVISION REJECTED
House of Commons Refuses
Assent to Changes Proposed
i by British Churchmen.
By the Associated Press.

6S the AssuClAbeu FTess
LONDON, December 16.-Church
circles today thought that despite re-
lection of the Revised Book of Com
mon Prayer by the House of Commons
the movement for revision would con-
tinue
The book. which could have been
used AS an alternative for the one
now in use, was rejected by Commons.
PAT to POS, after the House of Lords
had approved it, 241 to SIS. 1t, there
fore. cannot be presented for royal
assent. which is necessary since the
Church of England is the state church.
There was some comment that re-
lection might eventually eliminate the
Church of England as the state
church.
The next step will be to return the
measure to the church assembly. The
assembly will reconsider the revision
and may present it to Parliament in
an amended form.
Voice of Professionalism.
The excited cheering Of the oppo.
rents of the revised book which burst
forth in Commons when it was an
nounced that the bill had been de-
feated was in part at least a mani
festation of the deeply ingrained
Professionalism of a large portion Of
the British na ton. 1t was also
manifestation of their strong dissent
from what they regard as Remaining
tendencies. for which, in their opinion,
the bill opened the way.
Although Premier Baldwin recon-
n1ended its adoption, the issue was not
political and there was much cross
voting. Representatives of rival par
ties found themselves of the same view
on this question when the vote was
taken
When the discussion began in Com
mons and during it's early progress AL
most everybody expected that the
House would indorse the opinion of the
bishops and the decision of the House
of Lords. AS the evening advanced,
the oratory of the opponents of the
bill began TO tell. especially upon
members who were regarded as open
minded for various reasons.
Archbishop Shows Deep Feeling.
Possibly the man who had the least
hope as the debate advanced was the
Archbishop of Canterbury. He had
silently followed the proceedings from
the gallery and as a spectator m chit
have been able to guage better the
strength of the opposition. When the
result was announced, the aged prelate
slowly left the gallery, manifesting
deep disappointment over the destruc-
ton of his hopes. He was accom-
panied by the Archbishop of York and
leaning on his arm received the re-
spectful sympathy from those
who saw the distress he was unable
to conceal.
1t has been 265 years since any bill
affecting the prayer book has been
discussed in Parliament. Churchmen
have hitherto adhered unalterably to
the book authorized in 1862.
Some of the Changes Proposed.
One of the principal changes which
brought debate was the reservation of
the sacrament.
The revised prayer book would have
permitted the setting aside of the bread
and wine consecrated at open COM
munion for those who were sick or
near death.
The form now in use forbids the
carrying of elements consecrated at
open communion out of the church

The Times. which is a strong sup
porter of revision as a hope of reunit-
irg divided elements of the church, de-
clared that the rejection must mean
chaos and disaster
The paper expressed the hope, Com

and stipulates that any element left
over after conservation must be rev.

Opponents of the revision argued
that the proposal concerning reserVa

the sacrament.
Another change removed the wore

Spring. According to Mr.. Mckeon, II
has been determined that brown and
beige calf will be prominently used
for general wear and utility shoes for
"os,.en. AS the Spring advances, the
color tone OF wonen's shoes will tend
to grow continually lighter, moving
through the tan and gold beige and
rose bush shades toward white Jade
and finally white shoes. The latter.
however, will not be the white shoes
OF previous years. They will be beaded
with colorful trimmings so narrow a.
to be hardly noticeable, but which.
nevertheless, give the shoes an indi.
viduality never before seen In white
footwear. according to designers.
In discussing the curtailmert Of

ing. He served notice on shoe manu-.
facturers that an insistent demand
for too much of any one kind of
leather would bring disaster. not only
to the tanners and leather dealers, but
to the shoe manufacturers and retail
ers as well.
'The supply of leather in the world
he said, ''is not as plentiful as it was.
Stocks have been reduced materially
from the excessively heavy holdings
