MONUMENT TO HERO
THE KOSClUSZkO STATUE WILL
PLEASE WASHlNGToNlANs.
Designed for Lafayette Park, the
Work, It Is Declared, viii Be 4
Welcome Addition to Statu-
ary Of the Capital.

The KosciusZko monument which is
to be erected at the northeast corner
OF Lafayette park, in Washington,
will harmonize in general Characters
tics with the statues of Lafayette on
the Pennsylvania avenue front OF that
park and with the statue of Baron Won
Steuben which is TO be erected at the
northwest corner of the park. 1t 10
stated on the authority of Col. Brom-
well, the engineer officer in charge OF
public buildings and grounds, that the
erection of the Kosciuszko monument
at the point indicated will not inter
fere in the least with the large Amer
lean elm which stands at the north
east corner of the park.
That tree is said to be the finest
specimen of its kind in the District.
The members of the Cosmos club, on
the opposite corner, and others inter
ested in the preservation of the tree
secured a personal promise from Pres
ident Roosevelt that the location OF 4
monument at that corner would not be
permitted to interfere in any way with
the trunk or roots of the grand old
tree"
Antonio Popiel, who designed the
kosciuszko monument, has high rep
utation on the European continent as
a sculptor and is the author OF many
4 orti let horn
Galicia, Austria, in 1865, and after
completing grammar school course
studied at the art academies OF kra-
kow, Vienna, Berlin, Florence and
Paris. On completing his profession
al studies he was appointed professor
Of sculpture at the Imperial and Roy
al Polytechnic schools at Lemberg. He
made many decorations In relief and
several monuments at Lemberg and
other cities in Poland. He won many
prizes in artistic competitions, includ-
Ing the first prize among 20 comped-
tors for the Kosciuszko monument
President Roosevelt took an active IN
terest in the Kosciuszko competition,
and it was on his strong personal
recommendation that the award WAS
given to Mr.. Popiels design.
The figure of Kosciuszko, which Is
the leading feature OF the monument
al group, represents Kosciuszko in the
uniform of general in the United
States army. He stands in an easy
and natural position, his left hand
resting on his sword and his right
hand holding scroll representing
plans of fortification. The figure Is
II feet high and will be cast in
bronze.
In addition TO the statue proper,
there will be two groups on opposite
sides Of the base, one representing Lib
erty and the other Bravery. These Will
be flanked by two hemispheres sur
mounted by eagles with outstretched
wings. Mr.. Popiel now has a studio
at Chicago, where he is engaged in
completing the monument

ment company. Profits were not only earned by the Reynolds Alaska Devel opment company sufficient to cover dividend disbursements up until the time of suspension, but the accumula- tions of surplus are sufficient to cover dividends on account of the preferred stock actually up to date.
 "You will recall the fact that the spe- cific counts in the original indictment brought against me were thrown out by the judge on demurrer on motion of my attorney, Mir. William A. Thibodeau.
 "It is a strange coincidence that new indictment should be found just when have succeeded in securing the cooperation and dependable support of gentlemen whose resources guaran- tee the re-fnancing of both the Reyn- olds-Alaska Development company and the Alaska Home railway This may be merely coincidence, but l have been credibly informed that orders emanated from Washington, and it will be part of my immediate duty to ascertain the why and wherefore of such action.
 "It is quite probable that it would be a distinct advantage to hostile business interest to curtail my business activi- ties, but hundreds of letters received at my office from interested stockholders indicate a quite general opinion upon the part of those vitally interested in the success of my companies that my activities are not only satisfactory to the stockholders, but my activities are deemed by many of them quite neces- sary to protect and enhance the value of investments originally entrusted to my care.
 Several of the witnesses before the grand jury informed me that in the presentation of the case by the postal inspector parts of sentences from my letters and circulars were utilized and others contorted from their orig lnal meaning
 obviously in view of the enormous correspondence of the company cover ing over seven years such unfair tactics could not fail to prejudice the case. Such may pass unchallenged in the one-sided proceedings of the grand jury room, but if the case ever comes to trial the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth must prevail.

J.H. Wood, Nome mining man who recently returned to the States, says that in spite of all the knocks that have been given the Kougarok district it is bound to come to the front. The pay streak, says Mir. Wood, runs for a dis tance of seventeen miles in an almosE continuous string of discoveries. The only thing that stands between that country and boom is the question of the cost of supplies.

Statement of H. D. Reynolds

Statement Ot ri. U. NeyaoIaS
 "The only way that I can account for the repeated persecution-for to my mind it has ceased to be prosecution is that interest hostile to the Reynolds. Alaska system consider it advantageous to them to em barrass me.
 ''The fact will be readily recalled that five of my workmen on the Alaska Home railway were shot down last year and one of them killed, and later the underwriting contract with the Tacoma syndicate was cancelled under the pressure of hostile business interests, which coming at the time of the panic last October seriously embarrassed my financial plans and was the direct cause of the suspension of operations.
 Since last October have had ample evidence of continued hostility to my interests, both personal and corporate, in every move which have seen fit to make to protect the interests of my stockholders.
 "To my positive knowledge not a single stockholder among the l700 in the Reynolds-Alaska Development Co.,, or the 800 in the Alaska Home railway has made any complaint against me, al- though strenuous efforts were made by government officials to induce them to do sO
 "Audits of the books in Boston, Se- attle and Valdez show conclusively that every dollar of the treasury funds was expended in the interests of the com pany. As matter of fact the books show that there is an undrawn salary account of S13,0O0 to my credit, and l never asked or received penny of commission from either company on the sale of treasury shares, deeming it improper for an official of company to receive any commissions"
 q spent two years, 1902 and 1903, in Alaska utilizing the funds of myself and partner in acquiring the original properties of the Reynold-sAlaska De- velopment company, and all property acquired was turned into the company at actual cost.
 "rhe financing of the Reynolds ! Alaska Development company and the Alaska Home railway was on the clean est possible lines and no misstatemnnt of fact was ever made with intent to deceive in any literature. That we were disappointed in some of our ex- pectations is but incidental to all sim liar enterprises of such magnitude, but the intrinsic values of our properties cannot be seriously questioned.
 "I have reliable engineers reports which prove every statement regarding the mines, their value and development work reported to the stockholders as having been accomplished.
 "The net outstanding indebtedness of the Reynolds-Alaska Development company Is but S4I6,26l.20, and thls IS on account of properties, labor and materials This indebtedness is but trihing compared with the value of our assets.
 "The report of our chief engineer, Mir. Blamey Stevens, read at the meet ing of the stockholders at Hotel Ven dome September 5th fixes the value of our largest mine alone at $5,000,OOO.
 "A committee of leading business men of Valdez recently reported to me that our Valdez properties are earning 20 per cent on their cost, so there could be no just criticism of the value of the investments made last summer on be- half of the Reynolds-Alaska Develop
