Use of st. James Palace Is
Granted Conferees by
King George.
BY MILTON BONNER


r ONDON, Dec. 18.-The great
~ f1ve-power navy disarmament
conference, called at the instance
of President Hoover and Premier
Ramsay Macdonald of Great Brit
ain as a result of their powwow
in Washington, will have an ap-
propriate setting when it convenes
in St. James palace in London next
month. For centuries of history
have been made here, and it has not
been all British history either.
AS tbs palace belongs to the royal
family. sessions there could be held
only with the permission Of King
George V, and that monarch readily
gave his assent as soon as the mat
ter was preached to him by the
government.
st. James, which already is one
of the most historic buildings In
England. thus once more will be-
come the scene of history making
events.
Origin of Palace
The palace stands on the site OF
a hospital for women leperS which
was dedicated to ST, James the Less
back in the eleventh century. Henry
VIII acquired the property in 1882
and used it as hunting grounds.
He erected a hunting lodge from
designs of the immortal painter and
architect. Holbein.
From the time of Henry VIII
down, the palace has been con-
nected with English history. Mary
the First died there in 1858.
The room in which the press rep
resentatives at the naval conference
will have their headquarters was
occupied by King Charles I on the
last night before he walked to the
scaffold, surrounded by the soldiers
of Cromwell.
Where Court Got Name
After the restoration of the mon
archy, the palace was the residence
of the then duke of York, later OF
James II.
After 1893, when the old palace in
Whitehall was burned down, st.
James became the official London
residence of British SoVereigns for
many years.
Here all court functions were held
and the royal court is still known
as the Court of St. James. This Is
why our ENJOYS are called ambas-
sailors to the Court Of st. James.
Royal levees still are held there.
but the other functions have been
held in Buckingham palace since
1861.
Queen Anne and all the Georges,
including the famous King George
III. against whom the American
colonies rebelled. all lived in this
palace. So did william ". but since
his dav no monarch has lived there.
Many Married There
Charles II, Mary, mother Of Will
liara III, James II, Mary II, Queen
Anne. and George " all were born
there. Mary. daughter of King
Charles I. William III, Mary II,
Queen Anne, George ", Queen
Victoria and the present king, all
were married there.
Part Of the palace, known as
York House. got its name from the
fact that the present king lived
there when he was duke of York.
This portion is the home of the
present prince of Wales. Lord
Kitchener lived in the palace dur
ing the World war.

CHURCHES WILL take
four YEARS TO merge
Methodists and Presbyteri-
ans Hope to Consolidate
Forces by 1892

Pittsburgh, JAM, 81, R-Definite
agreement that the Presbyterian and
Methodist Episcopal churches should
consolidate was reached here yester-
day at a conference Of clerical and
lay representatives of the two
denominations.
The meeting passed a resolution
recognizing the organic unity of the
two churches and appointed two
joint committees to consider ques-
tions of policy, doctrine administra-
tive work and property interests OF
the two organizations. The commit
tees will study questions assigned to
them and make full reports to the
joint merger committee.
Representatives of each denom-
ination expressed great satisfaction
over the results of their delibera
tions
1t was pointed out however, that
final consummation of the merger
can not occur before 1882. since
whatever action taken by the joint
merger committee would have to be
approved by the Methodist General
conference which does not meet
until that year.
The consolidation would unite
100000 Methodists and 1000, 900
Presbyterians.

Citizenship CLASS
ANNOYED BY Delay
Failure of Court to Sit
Here Chafes 300
Candidates

More than 800 prospective Ameri-
can citizens have been waiting i'm
patiently for more than a half year
for a preliminary hearing before
Commissioner Of Naturalization
Thomas NJ. Spellman.
Usually there are two hearings
during year, but the second hear
ing in 1928 which was to have been
held last fall. did not materialize
and no definite date has been set
for it. 1t is said that Commissioner
Spellman has been busy in other
parts of the state and that q recent
illness prevented him from attend
ing to his duties. In the meantime,
many OF the applicants have made
inquiries as to the cause of the de-
lay. Some have been planning 20
go abroad in the spring. relying on
the promptness of the hearings,
which in the past we're held regu-
larly.
so far no specific time has been
set for the hearings, and it is doubt
full whether the applicants will be
Heard before spring.
