Detailed 10 Park Commissioner.

Detailed 10 Park commissioner.
Park Commissioner Pallas gave a hearing
yesterday afternoon to committee Of the
Andrew II. Green Memorial Association.
led by President Walter S. Logan and
Executive Committee Chairman Jacob A.
Cantor. on the petition for permission
TO make memorial entrance to Central
Park at Seventh avenue and 10th street
The hearing was held in the offices Of the
Park board In the Arsenal in Central Park
In order that Commissioner Pallas and
Landscape Architect Samuel Parsons. Jr..
might have a general idea OF the plan,
which has already been fully described in
The SUN, the committee submitted sketches
Among the reasons given by the speakers
for the choice Of the site we're these: Tint
Mr., Green's memorial should be associated,
II possible, with some concrete product
OF his life work that nothing represented
his devotion to the city more than his labor
on Central Park; that the upper end OF
the Park was especially appropriate, az
the portion above iG8th street was
added on his initiative; that the Seventh
avenue entrance looks out upon the portion
Of the greater city first added in accordance
with his plan Of consolidation, and that this
ened upon AIr. Green's motion. and ter
inmates the finest vista Of approach that
the Park presents.
At the conclusion of the hearing Mr..
Pallas expressed himself a. much impressed
by what he had heard and requested that
the sketches be left with him for consider
atiOn.

To-day John I. McDonough. former
Secretary of State and more recently a
member " the Supreme Court OF the Philip

sensational feature was furnished by the
practitioners Of medicine. Or. Robert T.
Morris OF New York city made the principal
argument in opposition to extending any
recognition OF this sect He said one OF
the claims Of the osteopathisis was that
they were able by rubbing to move the
bones. and thus cure disocations without

George W Morgan OF the Metropolitan
Elections district,
Incidentally il was brought out that
Mr. Morgan in agreeing 70 an expenditure
of money for which the Legislature had
not made special provision Ind violated
a law which was placed upon the statute
books at the instance Of Gov Higgins
when he was chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee.

He pointed out that there was need for
economy until il WAS known Just what
additional legislation would be enacted
at this session to raise more revenue from
indirect sources, and that the needs OF Supt
Morgan were no more important than the
needs Of numerous localities.
This attitude OF Senator White seemed
to be popular with at least a third of the
Republican Senators. and upon the motion
eight Republican Senators broke away.
They were Senator's Bracket OF Saratoga,
Cassidy OF Schuyler. Cobb Of Jeifer-
son, Coggeshal OF Oneida, Gordon OF
Brooklyn. Human of Broome, Lewis
of Monroe and White Of Onondaga,
who voted with the thirteen Democrats in
favor of tabling the measure Senator
