LIGHT FOR STATUE OF LIBERTY
Need S25,OOO to Do the Illuminating
Properly.

washington, Jan. 5.-Congressman
Joseph A. Goulden, representing the
18th congressional district of New
York, in the house of representatives,
has acted in accordance with the
wishes of a large number of New
Workers., when he introduced the bill
asking for an appropriation of $25,-
600 to be used in supplying an cleo
trical equipment sufficient to ade-
auately illuminate the statute of Lib
erty by Bartholdi, which stands on
Bedloe Island, in New York harbor,
and is supposed to illuminate that
harbor at night.
Ever since the government took
over the statue in 1908, only $500 a
year has been allowed for the pur-
pose of maintaining the light in the
torch of the statue. The inadequacy
of the light has been ridiculed by
thousands of visitors and for a Ions
time there has been a strong senti-
ment in favor of adding in some way
to the illumination, so as to make
the outlines of the statue visible a
night. AS it is, the statue cannot b'
seen at night, excepting that part o
the torch nearest the light.

TO HONOR HUDsoN's MEMORY.
Observe 30Oth Anniversary of Voyage
Up the River.

New York, Jan. 5.-Mr. Francis
Bannerman, a member of the Ameri-
can Scenic and Historic Preservation
society has made an offer to the COM
mittee in charge of the arrangements
for the big celebration in honor of
the 300th anniversary of the voyage of
Henry Hudson UP the river which
bears his name, and it is quite possible
that the proposition will be accepted.
Mr.. Bannerman has offered to erect,
at his own expense, on Polopel's
Island, in Newburg Bay, a monumen-
tai bronze statue of Hudson, upon a
stone pedestal, the whole to be about
10 feet high.
Many other suggestions have been
made, among them one, to widen
Fifth avenue between Fortieth and
Forty-second streets and create a
