National Leagues to Be
Organized in All Sections.
THE FIRST STEP is TAKEN
Meeting Of Delegates from Many
States Held in New York City
and Purposes Of organiza-
ton Outlined.

The organization Of a national In
dependence League was decided upon
at a meeting in New York Friday Of
representatives of state independence
Leagues and others who are in SYM
pathy with the objects Of these leagues
as outlined in state or local platforms.
The national body will be solidifi-
cation of minor leagues existing or
yet to be formed. Its aims are po-
litical in opposition to the republican
and democratic parties, which the
league promoters declare are domi'
mated by corporation interests and no
longer are representative of the peo-
pie.
Fridays conference was held at Car
uegie hall where some 200 men, said
to represent thirty states, met at the
invitation of the local independence
League, and were addressed by Will
liam Randolph Hearst, the gubernato-
rial candidate; last fall of the 1nde-
pendence League and democratic par
ties in New York state. Before his
endorsement by the democratic state
convention and subsequent defeat by
Governor Hughes, Mr.. Hearst was the
municipal leagues candidate for may
or and was beaten by Mayor McClel-
Ian, the democratic nominee.
Preceding the business meeting the
participants were given an informal
reception by Mr.. Hearst at the Gilsey
house, where most of those from out
of-town stopped.
At the hall, afternoon and evening
sessions were held, the feature of the
afternoon being the address Of Mr..
Hearst, who said that the conference
had been called to discuss the advis-
ability of forming national 1ndepend-
ence League. He told of the sue
cess Of the league in New York, Mas
sachusetts and California, and urged
the formation of a minor league in
every state and the union of all in
general body. The republican and
democratic parties, he said, were hope
lessly in the control of corporation In
terest. They failed, he said, to truly
represent the people, and third par
ty was sorely needed. There were
other speeches, after which two COM
mittees, one on organization and an
other to prepare platform outlining
the aims of the national body, were
appointed.

main entrance on the south side OF
the mausoleum stands heroic bronze
figure OF President Mckinley repre-
senting him in the attitude usually
assumed when speaking - his right
hand holding manuscript, and the
left hand in the trousers pocket. Be
hind the figure is bronze chair enclr-
eled with a wreath and draped with
the flag of the United States. The
bronze figure, which is feet high,
stands on a pedestal IS feet from the
base to the feet of the figure.
Twenty.six acres of ground were
purchased by the monument associa-
ton, and the utmost art of the garden
er has been lavished upon the grounds.
The mausoleum and grounds have
been built and arranged at a cost OF
$500, 900, and it is the intention OF the
commission to raise all endowment

shoulder to shoulder and no one was
allowed near the chief executive. he
was closely guarded by secret service
detectives, who walked by the side OF
his carriage.
The mausoleum stands on an emf
nence to which has been given the
name of Monument Hill, about two
miles due west Of the Mckinley home
in the city of Canton. 1t is not an
ornate affair, but it's simplicity Is re-
1ieyed by sufficient artistic embellish-
ment to make it an object of beauty,
as well as one of massive proportions
and breadth of design.
Four states have contributed a share
OF the material which has been USED
in the building of the monument. Inc
granite used in the approaches and the
mausoleum proper are from the quar-
ries of Milford, Mass. Tennessee mas
furnished gray marble for the lntelor
of the tomb, while the sacophagt which
now holds the bronze caskets In Wnlcn
