RECODIFICATION OF CITY BUILDING LAWS READY FOR COUNCIL Recommendations, Prepared by Commissioner After Years’ Study, Clarify Rulings—Means Better Structures, Cfaim. . Rcodification of the building code of Indianapolis, the result of three years’ intensive study by Francis F. Hamilton, city .building commissioner, and a committee of fifteen members, will be presented in form of city ordinance at next council meeting, it was announced today.

Recommendations embodied provide few drastic changes, but they will clarify many vague and ambiguous rulings nad consolidate statutes in a readable manner, Hamilton stated. Regulations are designed to “produce building sufficient in strength and so protected against the ravages (if fire and water that life of building would be about fifty years,” according to the foreword to the recodification. House Construction Reduced That cost of construction of houses would be reduced through recommendations included based on a survey of rules in Washington, D. C., was Hamilton’s prediction. Foreword to document indicates that floor load restrictions will be lightened. “It was realized by the committee that floor load regulations were entirely excessive except in a few instances and that depth of foundations and thickness of wal s was in many cases unreasonable,” the fore-

WAR BREWS AS PRESBYTERIANS OPEN SESSIONS / Fundamentalist - Modernist Theories to Caus<j Break in Church Assembly. Pu United Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 21.—Facing an open break over the principles which have given birth to the modernist-fundamentalist controversy, the 137th annual assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America opened here today. I Leaders declared the present crisis to be the most serious of any since that which -split the denomination into north and south during the Civil War—a breach which has never been healed. On one side were the militant fundamentalists, led by William Jennings Bryan and bent on throwing out of the church all ministers who decline to ascribe to the old Presbyterian creed, including belief in such Biblical miracles as the changing of water Into wine and the raising of Lazarus from the f <ad. Modernists Outnun bered The modernists outnumbered by their opponents but determined nevertheless, to fight for right to remain within the church and teach what they call a saner and more liberal view of biblical supernaturalisms. The first session of the assembly opened morning with Dr. Clarence Edward MacArtney, retiring moderator, delivering his annual sermon, keynote of the fundamentalist battle and a bitter arraignment of modernism in religion. “I do not dread controversies, divisions, separations,” said Dr. McArtney, "for they serve to discover who Is on> God’s side.” "Literary Jesus” Dr. McArtney’s principal criticism . of modernism was that It has set ' up a “literary Jesus” and a religion where •virtually nothing is a sin. The nomination and election of a new moderator this afternoon was expected to bring the first open break on the floor of the assembly between modernists and fundamentalists. A three-cornered race was in prospect, although more than three candidates were expected to be nominated. The three leading contestants were: Dr. Lapsley A. McAfee, Berkley, Cal., fundamentalist. Dr. W. O. Thompson, professor of Ohio State University, Bryan’s candidate. Dr. Charles Erdman, Princeton Theological Seminary, liberal. Free to Asthma and .

word reads. “These factors increased the cost of building unnecessarily.” Protects Human Life Protection to human life is most important provision in the new code, according to Hamilton, who said it would assure that loss of life due to fires and panic would be a minimum. Hamilton said legality of revised code had been approved by a committee composed of three attorneys. Mayor Shank in 1922 appointed a committee of fifteen architects and buildings, headed by Hamilton, to draft the ordinance. Their effort has ben based on an exhaustive study of regulations now in effect over the country.

"I didn't know the gun was loaded, I only wanted to scare her.’* "Yes,” Lucille said. “My father kept company with Miss Simnick — fpr about three years. I was ashamed. Every one knew. And I loved my mother and the rest of her children. I could not understand why we couldn’t keep our home in happiness. “Sometimes I was almost too ashamed to be seen. And this went on for months. “Finally I decided I must protect my mother and save our home, and scar® this woman away. So I went to her home Monday night. I took a gun thinking It was not loaded. It went off.”
