denies in toto the statements made in the
circular letter of Mrs. James Henry Parker
of New York that the selection of arch
as the monument to Jefferson Davis and
the selection of the site is in interest of
any person or that the location was chosen
for the purpose of increasing real estate
values. The executive committee of the
association is to meet here tomorrow for
the purpose of selecting a design. The
artists are arriving. Belief exists that the
committee will be unable to reach an agree
ment. The proposed arch is being opposed
by confederate veterans throughout the
south,
