W. H. Chase Met with Success in His Mis-
sion-Proper Time in Dispute.

william NJ Chase, who returned TO New York
recently from three months visit 10 Europe. ar
his studio, No. 313 Fifth avenue said yesterday
that his efforts interest American artists abroad
IN his plan for some memorial to Stanford White
had with SUCCESS but there was division Of
opinion regarding the proper time. Mr.. Chase said:
II have talked with number OF American
artists. including John s. Sargent and Frederick
w. MacMonnies. and George ". Breck, director Of
the American Academy at Rome. All the artists
I have seen are agreed that permanent recognition
should be made of what Stanford White has done
for the Identification Of the homes Of citizens Of
New York and the establishment OF the city The
artists. however, are pretty equally divided TO
the proper time for paying a tribute 10 his mem
ory. A number think that action should be post
poned until after the next trial of Harry K. Thaw.
while others believe in immediate recognition
"At The Hague I saw Joseph H Choate. Mr.
Choate was OF the opinion that the many friends
OF Stanford White should publicly show their ap-
probation OF him al Meetings will be held
the opening OF the art and the movement
carried 10 a successful conclusion as rapidly as
may be considered best. Assistance is expected
from Charles T Barney, president OF the Knicker
booker Trust Company and eX-president of the Mu-
nicipaI Art Commission"
A recent suggestion is that the tribute shall be
somewhat similar TO the Richard NJ Hunt
mortal. opposite the Lenox Library in Fifth ave-
nue.. which erected by the Municipal Art So
ciety aided by the other art bodies composing the
Fine Arts Federation. The bust of Mr.. Hunt and
the figures symbolzing painting and architecture
were executed by Daniel c. French.

MR.. BRYAN AS a TAFT CRITIC.

From The New York World Dern.)
Replying Mr.. Bryans that he is the
Great Postponer, Secretary Taft discussed the
question of tariff revision with the utmost frank
ness in his Tacoma speech:
With respect 10 the tariff wasein favor of
vision last year, and ! still in favor of re-
vision; but am party man. and ] realize the
lack OF wisdom and the danger both to the party
and the country OF attempting revision the
tariff 10 a Presidential campaign I am convinced
that the Republican party party VIII come
10 a revision OF the tariff Immediately after the
next Presidential election, and I am IN favor OF
practical results, hot OF theories and platforms
IL it cannot be done this year in favor of
doing 1t next year
Whatever Inconsistency may appear In Secre-
tary Tafts attitude toward tariff revision. the
william Jennings Bryan who a candidate for
President suppressed the tariff question in two
campaigns In order to concilfate the silver Repub-
lican vote is hardly the person TO taunt him
with IL
Furthermore, If the question of a revision OF the
tariff by William H Taft or a revision OF the
tarifY by William ]. Bryan We're submitted 10 the
American people, can there be tbs slightest doubt
as to how they would decide?
