REASONS FOR DELAY
Sculptor Explains Why Lafay-
cite Statue is Not Finished.
CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE
France Stipulated That It Should Be
Worthy of Its Site.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS MADE
Statue to Be Cast by ''Lost Wax" Pro-
cess-Gift by School Children
of America.
CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS MADE

Recent expressions made public in this
city tending to represent an unwarranted
delay in the completion of the Lafayette
statue presented to France through Ameri-
can contributions were referred to Paul w.
Bartlett, the sculptor of the monument, at
his home In Paris, where he Is engaged In
the work of preparing the statue. MIR.
Bartlett Is understood to have stated, after
reading the published matter describing a
condition Of apparent neglect of the monu-
ment project, that he agrees with the story
recently printed in The Star from Robert
j Thompson of Chicago. the secretary OF
the Lafayette memorial commission. Mr..
Thompson indicated that instead of there
existing the state Of affairs alleged the
monument is well in hand and will this
year replace the staff reproduction that was
dedicated United States day at the Paris
exposition.
II am very pleased to have this matter
placed before the public as 1T should be-"
states Mr.. Bartlett in letter to a resident
in this city. This monument was accepted
by the French government on condition
that 1t should be erected under the supervi-
sion of a special committee appointed for
that purpose, and also under the special
supervision of the architect of the Louvre.
1t was understood with them that after my
first model was dedicated l should have
all the necessary time to produce a statue
worthy of its site The statue occupies a
small garden in the court of the Louvre,
and is practically surrounded by the gal
leries of painting and sculpture, so you
can easily see what this means.
Produced in Eleven Months.
1.-THE first model. still In place, was pro-
duced in eleven months. a remarkably short
time for work of this size. Since then I
have been working and studying for the
definite work and have made the statue all
over from the beginning-movement, senti-
ment and comprehensiveness of the subject
and the whole work IS from my hands, al
though most sculptors have the horse mod
eled by a specialist. I have simply taken
the time necessary to do this work we'll, and
no one here conscious of the necessary ef-
fort is surprised.
an fact, one of the members of the spe-
cial committee. Paul Dubois, took fourteen
years to execute his Joan of Arc, and when
you take in consideration the fact that of
all forms Of sculpture the equestrian statue
has proved the most difficult; that the COM
binations of skill and knowledge necessary
to success have always been rare and that
the fine equestrian statues of the world can
be counted on the fingers of one hand you
will realize I am still doing 1t in a short
time IN having 1t ready for this year. In
October, as Is planned The delay Is moth
ing but this. and the committee in Chicago
Is just as impatient and anxious to see the
work finished as the public In general: but

FOR PUBLIC PARK.
Triangle of Ground Dedicated by
John B. Henderson.

In connection with the development OF
10th street into boulevard as desired by
the Commissioners and the residents on
that street, an important step has been
taken by the dedication by ex-senator John
B. Henderson of a large triangle owned by
him bounded by 18th, 18th and Lamont
streets. On account of the opening of new
10th street several years ago a number or
small pieces of land lying between old 18TH
street and the new street were left, and
it has been the desire of residents in this
section that these small pieces of land be
acquired parks in order to prevent them
being built upon and to beautify the street.
The dedication by Senator Henderson is the
frs important step in this direction.
