The Figures Are Probably Safe.

Mr.. Henry B. Brown. of the executive
committee Soldiers and Sailors Monument
Association does not think the figures for
the monument were on the Utopia. The
letter of Mr.. Simmons does Lot quite cor
respond with the facts. In the March I'd
letter the sculptor says: 1.-The monument
is being boxed up and will start Immediately
for Portland" and yet an Associated Press
despatch of March 7th stated King Hunbert
viewed the bronze that day. One thing how
ever would seem to assure the afety of the
figures. and that important fact was not
stated to the PRESS by the members of the
committee who gave the item, because he
didn't think Mr.. Simmons had made the
promised In the letter-and that was the Mr..
Simmons would telegraph the name of the
steamer he shipped the figures by. As no
despatch has been received the figures were
probably not on the Utopia.
