CATHEDRAL WORK
/ IS SLOW PROCESS
Nave of Gotham Edifice to Be
Finished SIS Years After,
Charter.
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September l5.-When
1t comes to cathedral building. the first
100 years are the hardest. Announce
ment that the nave of the Cathedral Of
st. John the Divine probably will be
opened next Easter Sunday comes just
SIS years after the granting of the
charter to the builders. While the
completion of the nave will finish the
major portion of the task, there are
still ahead many years of work and
many more millions to be obtained.
The Baedekers of future ages guiding
touring school mans to the glories Of
this the old world, will immortalize no
Christopher Wreen or Michelangelo
in their story of this great cathedral.
BETTING the spirit of the age, 1t is
great executive. great organizer, who
will be venerated. Bishop William T.
Manning, whose path into history lay
through Nashville. Tenn: Redlands,
Calf, and Landsdowne, Pa, cities of
his previous ministry, has, since the
beginning of his epiScopate in 1921,
accomplished more toward the compile
ton of the cathedral than was accom-
plished in the previous 48 years of the
project.
In great campaign. starting in 1926.
Bishop Manning gathered more than
9lU,UUu,UuU contributed not only by
Episcopalians, but by Catholics, Jews
and members of all dissenting churches.
to build "houSe of worship for all the
people" While the best of Americas
architects and artisans are contributing
magnif1cently. the age has produced no
such medieval phenomenon as Leonardo
ia Vinci, with his amazing blend of
creative and executive genius. The ac-
colade of future ages will be for the
great entrepreneur in the realms of
spiritual and esthetic achievement in
stead of the artist, artisan or architect.
The cathedral, in the time and money
expended. is unique in the history of
American structures, secular or re-
igious. 1t was Is years after the grant,
ing of the charter, in 1873, before the
nrst services were held in the crypt
With its length of COL feet, the cath
edral is larger than the Cathedrals of
Milan. Cologne, Charities, Notre Dame
or Amiens.
The next step will be to gather about
$4,000, 900 to complete the transepts and
to make alterations in the now COM
pleted work necessary for the unified
Gothic design. The central spire will
rise to height of 500 feet; the highest
Of the towers will be 265 feet: the great
est width of the Cathedral will be 3l5
feet.

Outs of Assassin Nears
End

MEXICO CITY, July 20 (UP).-
Police investigation of the murder
of General Aware 'Obregon, presi-
dent-elect of Mexico, was near an
end tonight and the assassin, young
Jose De Leon Toral, a religious
fanatic, was being questioned prob
ably for the last time before his
execution.
In addition to Toral, ten others
have been arrested and are held for
investigation in connection with the
assassination, which it is officially
charged was due to catholic clergy
action.
Presumably the authorities hope
by public trial to definitely estab-
fish the fanatical character of Toral
and his alleged connection with
catholic clerical dissidents.
Chief of Police Rios Zertuche
blamed the catholic church for the
assassination.
"Police headquarters now is in a
position to make public the fact
that responsibility for the crime
rests with the catholic clergy" his
statement said.

Police in the millinery manufac-

as proof of the desperate situation
of the Zaritsky crew.

workers were bludgeoned into ac-
