INSTITUTE REPORTS
ON LINCOLN STATUE
Architects Suggest Plans for
Memorials TO Martyr,
Also L'Enfant.

One of the most important features
OF the opening session Of the forty-sec-
ond annual meeting Of the American
Institute Of Architects held at the New
Willard today vas the report of a COM
mittee appointed to select a location for
the memorial statues TO Lincoln and
Major LEnfant.
The park commission Of the institute
has recommended that the Lincoln
Memorial be placed on the principal
axis Of the Capital overlooking the
river While this plan is believed TO be
the best by members OF the park COM
mission, IL does not seem to have found
as great favor In the recommendations
which have been sent to Congress on
the subject. The other plans involve
the Lincoln Memorial One Is that a
statue be placed on Capitol HIN some
where near Union Station. and a more
popular idea is that a memorial road be
planned from Washington 10 Gettys-
burg.
A resolution Of thanks was rendered
Glenn Brown, secretary Of the institute
for the success Of the St Gaudens' eE-
hibit which is now being shown in the
COrcoran Gallery Of Art. II was also
suggested that q memorial meeting be
held in honor Of Major LEnfant
Another important matter considered
at the meeting this morning was the
esta blishment o. a bureau OF fine arts
The institute is anxious that such a
bureau should be established here and
the idea met with high favor among
delegates to the meeting today.
Delegates to the convention viii meet
IN the CorcOran Gallery Of Art tonight
for a memorial meeting in honor Of Au-
gustus st. G9udcns- Secretary Root.
the Hon. James Bryce, British ambassa-
dor, and others viii participate in the
meeting.

WIFE. SAYS CULLEN

The interesting and varied career OF

eide Saturday afternoon in Gainesville,

speaker 10 globe trotter, was dis
cussed today by Mrs. Cullen. who de-
ClaTed that her husband was a para
noias, suffering continually from the de-
fusion that persons owed him large
sums Of money.
Mrs. Cullen recounted the many diff
cultes through which her husbands
tendencies for notoriety had led him
The only trouble I ever had with
him was in connection with the Hams
case" she said. He gave out inter
views regarding the case. saying he
knew ali about it and that he had heard
Annis make threats about the Hams
brothers He said something about me
being out ip q Yacht with AnniS and
paper men by the score at my home to

Mrs. Cullen recalled the libel suit
entered against her husband for his
circulation Of pamphlets about Gen.
Henry G. Corbin-

said. General COrbin told me he did
not care to harm my husband. and 50
everything was SmOOlheG over. But one
of the worst experiences oS all was i'm
connection with the Thaw case. Nv
husband wrote to the people concerned
in the case, and told them he had seen

PRESIDENTS WHOM CONGRESS
HAS REBUKED.

Other Congresses have had differences
with other Presidents. But nothing
like the present situation has been seen
since 1912, when the House and Presi-
dent Tyler exchanged mcOmplimentary
messages. This conflict was all the
more remarkable for the reason that
the House forces were led by ex-Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams, Of whom it
has been said:
Being practically above party re-
straints, he was free 10 do a work
which made notable the later years Of
the old man eloquent"
The resolutions adopted by the House
informed the President that the House
could not recognize any right in him
to make a formal protest against votes
and proceedings in the House." that
'the aforesaid protest Is breach of
the privileges Of this House, and that
it be not entered upon the journal" So
the Clerk of the House was instructed
TO return the Presidents message and
protest" to their author.
Eight years before the Senate had
treated President jackson in a similar
manner. The two instances are re-
garded as establishing a precedent.
There viii be those throughout the
country who viii regard the existence
of that precedent az a distinct menace
TO the peace of mind of a certain
branch of our National Legislature.

ALEXANDER KENT A SOL
DER OF HIGH IDEALS.

A little pause in the days hurry Is
not too much of q tribute from the
best of us to the Rev. Alexander Kent.
pastor of the Peoples Church, and for
almost a third of a century resident
of this city, who died here so suddenly
last Friday.
Thirty-one years ago he came to
Washington as a Universalist minister.
For thirteen years he was pastor of
the church of that denomination here.
While 50 engaged, nc was largely in
strumenial in building the handsome
cdifiee known as The Church of Our
Father" In 1890, feeling the need for
frccr field, he organized the Peoples
Church, an undenominationaI eongrega-
tion which he served for the seventeen
years ending with his death.
The funeral. held last Sunday even
ing at the family residence, 20 T street
northwest, reflected more than this
scant outline of his service. Many
were turned away The rites were
those of the Friends; no clergyman Of
liciated; but each, whether minister or
layman, spoke at his own option and
ss moved by the spirit. Representa-
lives OF the chUrched and mchurched, of
Christian, agnostic, and Jew. paid trib-
ute to the sincerity, simplicity. devo-
lion, and rugged loyalty 10 truth and
duty for their own sakes, which char
scterized the man.
Especially during his connection with
sle Peoples Church, DR.. Kent stood as

FREE LECTURES ARE NOT
ROMAN SATURNALIA.

Representative Mann OF Illinois Is
too broad minded and earnest a states
man to make direct attack upon any
feature of public education which has
been proven Of practical value-if he
knows 1t.
The inference, therefore, is that when
he opposed free lectures in the local
public schools at Yesterdays session of
the House he had not been informed as
to the experience of other cities. They
have proven valuable elsewhere-in
New York particularly. No one thinks
them prime essentials. But everyone
who has seen the exhibition hall of
public school crowded by average Cit
zens to hear those same bird notes"
and travel talks" which evoked so
many outlaws in the House could not
deny that such lectures justified them
selves if their cost was not too high.
Here in the District Of Columbia an
appropriation of $500 provided even
ing entertainment and instruction for
l5,7SS attendances at sixty lectures. The
average cost, therefore, was less than
10 cents. It may be Congress cannot
afford to make such an outlay for the
District of Columbia. If so, that Is a
worthy argument against free public
lectures. But Mr.. Mann does not do
himself justice if he says of this
project, as he is reported as saying:
we are getting to be as bad as the
old Romans, with their free fights and
their free feasts."

distinct type among clergymen.
While a steadfast believer in the fu-
ture life, he gave chief attention to
the life that now is, seeking TO make
this world a filter habitation for a
nobler race. If there is a genuine re-
form which has not found in him a
sympathetic friend, no one has named
it. He was deeply interested, for ex-
ample, in the recent Anti tuberculosis
Congress. He was an enthusiastic be-
lever in direct legislation At the
funeral a Russian Jew referred TO the
fact that 1T was DIR. Kent who, some
three years since, led in organizing
"The Friends of Russian Freedom"
Every religious cult, ancient or modern,
found in him an open minded inquirer
and lover of whatever wisdom it might
teach.
In an age when the struggle for
existence" has stamped It's impress
even upon the liberal professions, in
Guiding the Christian ministry, when
personal survival has come TO be
viewed by many as a chief end, and
adoption to environment" has become
fine az, man who can boldly take
his stand, regardless Of cost or con
sequences, for his highest ideal, and,
through long life, and amidst evil and
good report, consistently maitain that
stand, has attained to something more
than leadership for the
heartening and uplift of his brothers.
Such a man was Alexander Kent.
