IF the building in Jerusalem most
revered by Moslems be the Mosque
of Omar, the one most reverenced by
Christians is the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre. 1t is an enormous edifice,
with no claims to architectural beauty,
founded about 800 years after Christ
by the Empress Helena, mother of
Constantine, first of the Christian
Emperors.
In one sense it can hardly be called
a church at all. 1t is rather a sacred
exposition building. Beneath its
enormous roof ara many chapels,
affairs. shrines, hills, caves. valleys and
monuments, commemorative all the
localities mentioned in the Bible which
can by any possibility be situated in
Jerusalem. Among the places sup
posed to be identified within the limits
of this church are the Sepulchre of
Christ; the summit of Mount Calvary;
the places where Christ was scourged,
crowned with thorns and anointed for
burial; the spot where the true cross

EPISCOPAL HOME
: TO Be DEDICATED
Bishop Freeman Will 0fficiate
at Exercises on Wis
! ConSin Avenue.

Right Rev. James f. Freeman, d. D.,
Bishop of Washington, will return to
this city September 16. and on the fol
lowing afternoon he will dedidate the
new buildings of the Episcopal Church
Home, at 1917 and 1919 Wisconsin
avenue. During the Summer. Bishop
Freeman has had charge of the serv-
ices at the Chapel of the Redeemer,
at Sorrento, Me. The dedication of
the home will be his first official act
on his return and is a mark of his
continued interest in this growing
philanthropy.
The home has for some time occu-
pied two buildings at the corner of
Wisconsin avenue and Macomb street,
but these were not large enough to
accommodate the number of elderly
women who were without relatives or
friends with whom they could spend
their last days in pleasant companion
ship. Tho provide for these ladies the
board of governors of the Episcopal
Church Home last Winter purchased
the two houses adjoining the original
property which gives the home cor
ner lot of $50 feet square. The new
buildings will house 16 additional resi-
dents.
Reception Planned.
The dedication of the buildings will
take place at 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon, September II. Following the
dedication ceremony, reception will
be given by the board of lady man.
ayers, headed by Mrs. William Chan
ming johnson. Through the courtesy
of Maj. Gen. Lejeune, a section of the
Marine Band will give concert in the
grounds of the home during the re.
ception, and there will be singing by
selected soloists. Refreshments will
be served in the dining room, which
is connected by paSsag eways with
the four houses. The residents of the
home will receive the guests. lnvi-
tations to attend the dedication serV-
ice and the reception have been issued
to the congregations of all Episcopal
Churches in the city and to all friends
of the home.
The Episcopal Church Home was in
stituted by a group of Episcopal lay
men, who saw the need for home
where aged and infirm church people
could find a place of residence in their
declining years. The home was in
corporated in 1924 and soon after
ward the house at 1915 Wisconsin ave.
nue.. the gift of Mrs Cornelia B. Jones,
was opened, with five residents and
matron in charge. In May, 1926, the
adjoining property on Macomb street
was added. giving space for nine more
guests.
Applicants Are Waiting.
There still remains waiting list
of worthy applicants, wor whom there
is no room. The site, lying as it does
almost in the shadow Of the cathe-
dral, is splendidly suited for the pur-
pose.

Trading Is Active and Shares
Are More Disposed to Move
on News.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
= NEW YORK. August 4.--The stool
market went through a series OF il
regular price fluctuations with mixet
results today. Trading was active
s.and nervous, with the tape often un
able TO keep up with transactions o
the floor. Opinion as to the future
was much divided. especially AS re
CARDS the effect on prices of the in
,sterruption to the upward movement
on the day before. In general, how
ever. stocks were disposed TO pay more
attention to news developments thar
i'll any recent past.
The feature of the day on the side
of advance was the sudden upturn il
the oils. Buying in this part of the
list got under way directly ut the
start. and quotations rose quickly
THE immediate motive appeared to be
the announcement that curtailment of
production in the Seminole field OF
Oklahoma to I50, 900 barrels daily will
begin on Friday. Meanwhile. the latest
o4-hour report showed output Of more
than SOC 600. which in itself was a
decrease Of some 5000 barrels from
the preceding day.
Oil Shorts Rush to Cover.
Shorts in the oil stocks took alarm
Immediately and there was a hurried
rush to cover. Probably the short
interest in the oils is larger than in
any other group. so it was not sur
priSing that prices responded. Pr3c-
fically all the oils went up. includ-
sing Standard Oil issues. Represent
.Ative independents like Marland and
Phillips made gains of around
points. No one believes that cutting
Of tIf a
oil companies back where they were
six months ago, but at least it is
a beginning.
The rails did not do as well. The
market had the adverse report of the
Interstate Commerce Commissions
examiner on the Pere Marquette
stock dividend before it, but more
potent was the feeling of uncer-
'tainty with regard to the political
outlook. Chesapeake & Ohio was
an exception. setting a new high for
all time in the first hour Erie issues
did well also, but Atchison, Reading
and other stocks of that class Jagged
,behind.
Steel Heavy Early.
u. S. Steel was heavy early in the
day. Crucihle. on the other hand,
was moderately strong. The six
months Crucible earnings statement
given out today showed a slight fall
ing off in net from the same period
u year ago, but the chairman Of the
board expressed optimistic views as
TO the balance of the year. One
factor that helped Crucible was the
high yield it offers at current levels.
Predictions were that the next untitled
homage statement of L. S. Steel
would show slight increase.
There were waves of buying in the
motors. but all the gains were not
held. Nash was very strong early in
the day at new high for the year.
General Motors opened up over
point and then fell back somewhat.
The standard industrials were highly
irregular.

result Of the new political situation.
produced the strongest investment
market today in two months. With
the higher prices registered there was
4 decided expansion i'll trading on
the board and over the counter.
Probably the most significant of the
many features of the session was the
abrupt recovery in a rumber of new
issues that only q week or two ago
were selling we'll under the suhscrip-
ton price. Erie IS. with todayS adj
vance of about y. have reGained all
of their loss in July of 3ia points.
Union Pacific new 412s, originally
priced at WA. from which they drop
ped TO 96"S, were up e to 9S.
Chesapeake Corporation IS Up.
Chesapeake Corporation IS, which
went off we'll from the start and held
a good premim through the price
adjustment period. were buoyant at .
new high around ISL a..
The same condition, r-~vailed in the
Industrial list, with international Tele-
phone new 4,2S about li2 points above
the Offering figure, and Goodyear ~

point Obviously these reCoveries VIII
greatly assist in the distribution OF
moro new issues when they begin to
anpear in the market late this month
and in September, as the public could
not have been induced to do d great
deal of buying with as many bonds
under their cost prices as was the
case between June 1 and July 10.
Judging from the nature of the de-
mand, the prospect of even lower
money rates had captured the imaSi-
nation of dealers in high-grade rail-
road and public utility bonds. Many
of this type were bid UP sharply To
select a few, Northern Pacific IS. on
active dealings, had the unusual adj
vance of IA points. Canadian Pacific
debenture As gained p, Pennsylvania
stamped as nearly ia, Baltimore &
Ohio refunding IS about y, Union
Pacific first As touched 80, gain OF
q, and Frisco prior lien As We're
within "a of the previous high of the
wear. Shelters first IS, the best type
of industrial mortgage, showed a re-
covery of full point since Tuesday.
L. >. Bonds Are Strong.
The United States Government bond
market responded well TO the credit
situation, the fourth All Liberties
touching 104 and the long Treasury
notes up Is to Il.
In the foreign department there was
good buying at generally higher prices.
Italian. Japanese. Serbian, French.
Belgian, Brazilian and Chilean issues
gained fractionally. Rome 6l2s again
were back to their subscription price.
The repression of new issues during
July has been of much assistance in
clearing up the Overstocked market.
Total offerings during the month were
only $275 900 900, compared with $685.
600 900 in June. In the public utility
field several offerings aggregating
about $50 900, 900 will come on the mar
ket in the next 30 days.
