SITE FOR STATUE.
Request for Memorial to Jones in
LAFAYETTE Park.

A number Of patriotic organizations, in
GLIDING several chapters Of the Sons and
Daughters OF the Revolution. have petit
toned the Secretary OF War to place the
statue Of John Paul Jones' for which Con-
gress appropriated $4,000, on the Penn
sylvania avenue front of Lafayette Park
on line with 18th street One of the
arguments used In favor Of the selection
OF the Site named Is that there is already
good solid cement foundation at that
point upon which the statue might be
placed
That foundation was built many years
ago by Gen. Ernst. then superintendent of
public buildings and grounds 1t was
intended fCi the equestrian statue of Gen
Jackson. which was to have been trans
ferred from It's site in the center of tho
park to the avenue site in order that the
lafayette group might be placed on the
central site. So much objection was
made, however, to the removal Of the
statue of the Hero Of New Orleans that
the plan was abandoned after the founda-
ton had been built on the avenue. and the
Lafayette group Was erected instead on
the southeast corner of the park. The
avenue foundation is now covered by q
large bed of flowers. mostly cannas.
NO site has been selected for the statue
of John Paul Jones. but it is hardly likely
to be located in Lafayette Park, as in
addition to the statues OF Jackson,
Lafayette and Rochambeau already there
arrangements have been made to put
statues of Won Steuhen and Kosciuski in
the park also, making five altogether.

Warrant Issued for Arrest of Brok
erage Firm Solicitor.

Frank C. k!ngsland, representing the
brokerage firm of Ir~ing X. Harrington
& Co, with Offices In the Hibbs building
appeared III the Police Court yesterday
and proclred a warrant for the arrest of
II. Alfred Porter. who was employed as
solicitor for the firm, alleging the en-
bezzlwemant of S5iS3, representing the
value Of two certificates of stock of the
Mitchell Mining Company. The warrant
was turned over to Detective McNamee
for service. He went to the home of the
accused. 1899 Vermont avenue, and other
places in search of Porter, but failed to
lind him. Mrs. Porter conferred with Mr.
kingsland last night. and the latter after
ward told the detectives that he did not
want the warrant served Later, how.
ever, he said he had talked with mem
bers of tie firm at the New York Office
and he mad been instructed to proceed
against Porter.
Porter. 1t Is alleged, obtained employ
ment with the brokerage firm last month
presenting q letter of recommendat ton
from Senator Patterson. Ten days ago
it is charged, he obtaired two certificate s
for forty-five shares of stock of the min
Ing company from a patron. receiving
them as collateral security for the pur-
chase of shares OF stock Of another min
ing company. The charge is that he dis
posed of the two certificates to another
local firm without having been authorized
TO do so. 1t Is said that an auditor of the
company went over the books of the firm
ard detected an alleged shortage. Mr.
kingland told the police that he had no
idea Of the amount of the alleged defalca-
tion.
Several times yesterday afternoon and
last night the police were told by Mr.
kingsland OF the supposed whereabout
of Porter, but each time Detective Nc
Nance found that he was mistaken. The
last time the detective was called upon
by Mr.. kingsland was about midnight
when he gave the Information that Por-
ter was at his home. His house was Wis
tied at that time, but the man for whose
arrest the warrant was issued was not
there. His wife said she was ignorant OF
his whereabouts.
