IRISH FAVOR NEW DESIGN.
O'Connor's Second Barry Statue to
Be Passed on Soon.

Secretaries Dickinson and Never and
Senator Wetmore comprising the Barry
statue commission created by Congress-
expect to settle the controversy over the
design of the Barry statue in few DAYS
that is SO far as the commission can
settle it.
The first question to be determined by
the commission is whether it shall accept
the design submitted by Andrew O'Connor
as modified to meet the suggestions of
the commission. His original model was
awarded first prize in the open competi-
ton several months ago. but was found
highly Objectionable by members OF the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and other
Irish societies
If the statue commission rejects O'Con-
nor's modified design, it will then have
to decide between two propositions. One
OF these is to have another competition
between artists and the other is to adopt
the design for the statue submitted by
Jerome Conner of this city.
The Conner model was awarded second
prize in the original competition, and is
said to be entirely satisfactory to the
Irish-Americans who have interested
themselves in this matter. 1t Is an
nounced that the course of the commits
sion will be decided before the close of
the present week.

resolution adopted by the national execu-
tive board of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians at meeting in Atlantic City
Yesterday. requesting that the wishes of
the United Irish societies representatives
be given favorable consideration in the
selection of the design for the Barry
statue. 1t is understood that these
wishes are for the adoption of the design
of Jerome Conner.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
Barry statue. 1t is to be erected on the
18th street side of Franklin Park
