Governor Swanson is being earnestly
urged by many prominent people TO have
the iron fence removed from around the
Washington Monument, in the Capitol

the man was watched. He made several trips

room at the fort was searched. Among his
effects was found q blue print OF the fortihca-
tions which he had made and which was clearly
the work of an expert. 1t was printed on paper

likely that the challenge will not be sent until

day Sir Thomas said he would not say yet
whether he intended to send yacht across

fore the time for one expired. as it would simply
be giving the holders Of the Cup more time IN
which TO arrange for its defence
