Mr.. Couper said that this was the first
full-iength statue of Longfelow ever made
and he considered his appointment as sculp-
tor one of the greatest compliments ever
paid to him. The robes of a professor with
which the figure is draped solve the problem
of combining the classic with the modern
inartistic style of dress and at the same
time subordinating the physical aspect to
the mental. concentrating the attention on
the head, the reposeful vitality of which ex-
presses the highest form Of art.

HITCHCOCK DENIES REPORT
SAYS HE'S NOT INTERFERING IN
SOUTHERN POLITICS.
Declares That he Is Not Trying to
Work Up Roosevelt Sentiment
in Alabama.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. October 5.-Letters
have been received by number of re-
from Frank H. Hitchcock first assistant
postmaster general. urging that Alabama
send delegation instructed for President
Roosevelt to the next national republican
convention.
The regular republican organization in
this state is understood to be strongly IA
vorable to another terms for the present
executive, and the letters of Hitchcock lead
to the belief that the President will take an
other nomination if 1t shall be rendered him,
and that his political friends have deter
mined to see that he gets such a tender.
Hitchcocks activity in the matter makes
Alabama republicans look upon the move
ment as being semi-official, if indeed it does
self. Hitchcock is said to be slated to sue
ceed Secretary Loeb about December l, and
this fact leads to the conclusion among
party leaders that the entire scheme Of
Roosevelt's denomination has been planned
and to Hitchcock intrusted the duty of
lining up the party leaders in certain Sec
tiOnS.
Not a word of truth In it," said Mr..
Hitchcock to a Star reporter this afternoon,
referring to the foregoing dispatch. /

or to any other southern state Offering any

dency. The people of Alabama and of the

office holder to attempt to dictate to them.'

CHARGES BY TELEGRAPHERS
COMPANIES DECLARED TO HAVE
VIOLATED SHERMAN LAW.

The information was obtained this aft
ernoon on good authority that the COM
mercfaf teleSraphers, now on strike have
preferred the charge Of violating the Sher-
man antitrust law against the Western
Union and Postal telegraph companies,
that the charge was made at the De-
partment of Justice by certain Of the
officers Of the international union who are
stationed in Washington, and that an inves-
tigation is now in progress under the direc-
ton of Attorney General Bonaparte
President Small of the teiegraphers reach
ed this city yesterday, as forecasted in The
Star, and today he is said to have been in
consultation at the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor on G street
with certain of the union labor leaders,
The principal matter under consideration
was said to have been the charge that the
two big telegraph companies have entered
into a combination against the peonle to
increase telegraphic tolls and prevent the
operators from bettering their condition.
Charges of this character were made in
series of resolutions that We're adopted
by the Central Labor Union of this city
soon after the first walkout of keymen at
San Francisco. They were introduced by
Vice President w. w. Beattie of the Inter-
national Commercial Telegraphers' Union
and by direction of the central body were
forwarded to President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay.
Go Direct to Department.
AS the officers of the Central Labor
Union received but a note Of acknowledge
ment from Secretary Loeb they finally de-
cided, as one of them today expressed it. to
put the matter squarely up to the Depart
ment of Justice. Certain senators and rep
resentativeS wcre interested in the charges
and they appeared before the Attorney Cen
raj, it is said, and urged that the matter BE-
investigated. This afternoon one of these
officers said:
From information in our possession YOU
can say there will be something doing by
Uncle Sam in very short time. Congress
appropriated the sum of 500 600 to be
used in prosecuting all pubic service cor
porations that violate the Sherman anti
trust law, and We hold that the two tele-
graph companies are proper subjects for in
quiry, because it can be shown that they
have raised their tolls in combination from
20 to 60 per cent
1t was also stated that President Small
will leave here this evening for New York.
where he is to hold important confer
ence, but he will return the first of the
week in reference to the matters now
pending before the Department of Justice
Complaint on File.
