PRINCE MEMORIAL
/. OFFER IS ACCEPTED
Washington Cathedral Chapel
to Honor Flying Ace Killed
During War.

Bishop James E. Freeman has ac-
cepted formally the offer Of Frederick
H. Prince, Boston financier, TO erect a
memorial chapel in Washington Catl1e-
drai to his son Norman, famous flying
ace. killed in the World War. 1t was
learned yesterday. Mr.. Prince. who ar
rived yesterday from Paris, was in tele-
phone communication from New York
with Bishop Freeman Friday night.
While no definite word was forth
coming from Mount st. Alban regard
ing details Of the memorial, it was re-
vealed that plans for carrying the prof.
ect into effect will be formulated in
the near future in conference between
Bishop Freeman, Mr.. Prince AID an
architect.
The announcement Of Mr.. Prince
upon his arrival in this country yes.
terday that he had decided to erect
the memorial in the famous shrine here
came as the climax to proposal which
aroused widespread interest in WASH
ington and the Nationa two years ago,
when Mr.. Prince applied to the War
Department for permission to build the
memorial in the form Of handsome
chapel and mortuary at Fort Myer, Va,
stating that ne was willing to spend
about 100000 on the structure.
Plan Given Approval.
ant Secretary of War. and Maj. Gen.
Of the Army, approved the plan. On
their recommendations, Secretary Of
War Davis lent his approval.
A site was selected on plateau over
looking the post parade ground near
the main west entrance to Arlington
Cemetery. The site was approved by
Army officials, Mr.. Prince and by his
architect, Ralph Adams Cram, now In
charge Of completion Of the Cathedral
in st. John the Divine. In New York
City. Several months later the archi-
tect's design was submitted and ap-
proved by those in charge.
Shortly thereafter, however, the Ma
tional Commission OF Fine Arts was
consulted regarding the artistic features
of the proposed memorial and 1t de-
members of the commission objected to
the location selected for the chapel.
Opposed Substitute Site.
A site suggested as q substitute did
not meet with the approval Of Mr..
Prince, who contended, with other
things, that the two memorials had no
relation to each other, but were symbols
Of two epochs entirely different in
time and character.
Architect Cram dropped all proceed
ings for the construction Of the memo
rial chapel on the Fort Myer reser-
walton. -
Gen. Summerall and other officers
Of the Army expressed their regret at
abandonment of the project at Fort
Myer, but refused to comment further.
