Sensational Developments IN the Lee

Columbus, Ca. Sept 21--The death
Of little ten year old Elbin Haden from
the rife wound and the arrest Of Mar.
tin v. culpepper. a merchant Of Gil
rsrd. on the charge Of being the as
sassin. were Fridays developments in
the sensational assassination attempt
In Lee county, Alabama, when an ef.
fort was made to murder T. J. Haden,
farmer, at his home. The bullet
missed him and struck the little girl
standing In the hallway. and she died
few hours later from the wound.
A warrant was sworn out against
Martin VI Culpepper. merchant Of
Girard, charging him with doing tne
shooting He and Hadens father
OF the dead child, married sisters, and
the arrest caused profound sensation.
II seems Haden and Culpepper had a
personal difficulty in which Culpep-
per got the worst Of It,
Culpepper asserts his innocence In
the most emphatic manner, and
seems to have established a complete
aiibi, as he shows that he was at his
store about the time the assassination
occurred.

the bin, fled their views in opposition,

His argument was that the title 20 the
church property in the islands had not
yet been judiclally determined. as be-
tween the Roman Catholic Apostolic
Church and the Philippines independent
Catholic Church, and that until this had
been done no payment should be made.

day-COnsidered Likely that statue
VIII BE Erected in Botanic Gnr-
den on spot Already Chosen.

A pathetic sentiment for few historic
trees in enc corner of the Botanic Gar
den is not likely to frighten the House
Committee on the Library or to cause It
TO determine favorably upon any legis-
lation which has been introduced for the
purpose Of locating the proposed Grant
Monument in some other part of the
District
There have been quantities Of sorrowful
ink spilled in defending few trees which
one person in a thousand. perhaps. has
heard OF. and one in a hundred times
that number has seen. In spite of this
fact Il Is not Low considered probable
that the committee Will decide 10 locate
the Grant Memorial in any place other
than in the particular corner Of the Bo-
tanic Garden where these outrageous
marks Of a past and forgotten genera
ton have long stood.
To Meet on Monday.
The committee has not held a meeting
now fer several days. but on Monday
next, it is understood, II viii meet and
will likely determine what. II any, action
may be taken in the matter OF the Grant
Statue
That il will not advise the change in
the location Of the statue--a location
made after many weeks of careful study
upon the part of the Grant Memorial
Commission. is believed to be highly i'm
probable
There have been several bills introduced
in the House which have as their primary
object a relocation of the monument 70
the victor Of the greatest war in history.
Action upon one of these bills. that in
troduced by Representative Mann, Of
Illinois, would, il is understood, be the
only possible action whereby the com
mittee could change the location OF the
statue.
Favorable report on the Mann bin.
which proposes 10 relocate the monu-
ment. would. of course. render the work
OF the Grant Memorial Commission mega
tive, and mean probably that the statue
would be located in some place other
than the Botanic Garden.
The Mann bill. il is now understood. VIII
not be reported. or, If reported Will be
reported unfavorably. as will any others
which may affect the erection OF the
Grant statue on the grounds selected
after such long inquiry
Grant Before Trees.
1t was pointed out yesterday that II
seems indeed foolish to think that
statue 10 one Of tie great soldiers and
Presidents Of the nation is 10 be inter-
ferad with by a few trees, OF which the
vast majority OF the American people
never heard.
The hearings before the committee
have all seemed TO show that there IS
really but little opposition 10 the loca-
ton of the statue in the Garden, and
therefore. and for the additional reason
that the memory Of Grant is much more
worth preserving In the nations mind
than few trees. il IS probable that the
monument to Gen Ulysses S Grant will
rise IN that corner Of the Botanic Gar
den where to-day 4 few comparatively
unknown trees shiver IN the winter wind.
