TANGLE OVER PULASKI STATUE
HALF OF $4,000 FUND SNATCH
ED BACK INTO TREASURY.
Sundry Civil Provision, Aimed at
Spanish War Fund, Responsible.
Congress Must Fix It.

The project for the erection in this city
Of statue Of Gen. Count Pulaski, one OF
the Polish heroes of the revolution, has
received blow which will prevent its
execution for several months at least. In
1903 Congress appropriated $4,000 for this
statue, to be expended by a commission
consisting of the Secretary Of War. the
chairman OF the committee on the Library
OF the House of Representatives and the
president of the Pulaski monument Polish
central committee. The public reserva-
ton In front of the National Theater was
selected as the site for the statue and
a contract was made with Kasimier Chod-
zinski. a Polish-American sculptor for
the statue according to a design SUBJ
mitted by him. That contract. executed
IN loOS. called for the erection of the
statue within two and a half years.
Everything Was Serene
Good progress is reported on the part of
the sculptor and he has received pay
ments on account. Up to this point all
was clear sailing. Deducting the con-
tract price for the statue, there re-
mained balance from the appropria-
tion Of $S.495.11. It was intended to
use the greater portion of this balance
AA pACPoAiAS tuC Sltc anu Id pay INCL
dentals of construction. But that plan
has been knocked in the head by the
action Of the United States treasurer in
covering the entire unexpended balance
into the Treasury to the credit of the
surplus fund. in accordance with sec
tion 10 of the sundry civil act of 1909,
directing that all uneXpended balances
remaining on the books July l, 1904
except certain permanent specific ap-
preparations. be carried to the surplus
fund and covered into the Treasury
That section was not designed to hit
the Pulaski statue appropriation, but it
did. 1t was popularity supposed to be
aimed at the Spanish war emergency
fund.
Now There Isn't a Cent.
Col. Cosby. superintendent of public
and grounds, who is executive
officer for the Pulaski statue commission,
recently brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the War Department, stating that
the action of the Treasury Department
leaves no funds available to complete the
Pulaski statue and recommending that
Congress be requested to reappropriate
the balance of S,490.11 and make it i'm
mediately available. War Department Off
cials have concluded there is no other
way out of the dilemma. The statue is
nearly completed and the preparation of
the site will take only short time If
Congress adopts the suggestions of the
department early enough in the session
the statue will be ready for dedication in
the early spring.

"Hoch Der Kaiser

To those who have observed the

the Iowa state prison at Fort Madison
it is impossible to suppress a smile,
for the memory of the late Admiral
Coghlan, and his world famous verses
come out so wildly that one sees a

musical conservatory. Anamosa is
the seat of the reformatory; all young
criminals, and those susceptible to
reformatory influences are sent to
that institution. 1t is contended that
the board and the warden are acting
in excess of their authority in the
continued mismanagement which is
considered criminal. An effort is un-
der way to bring the matter before
the coming general assembly for in
vestigation, real investigation and
not white wash" II is a matter OF
boast both by the board of control and
by the warden that the convicts are
better fed and better clothed and
housed than most workingmen. 1t is
VIGOROUSLY known to be true. In
thus placing premium on crime and
criminals, there is but little wonder
that the warden and board are so
popular with this bunch of TRUSTEES.
1t is claimed by those who know
that Fort Madison prisoners are much
better fed and more comfortable than
the veterans Of the civil war are in
the soldiers home at Marshalltown.
1t is probably true.
1t is currently reported that the
board has stricken butter from the
diet of the soldiers home, but it is
retained here in the prison. 1t may be
given to the prisoners because of its
qualities for the elimination of crime,
and at the same time bring out ell
| latent musical talent.
The warden is quoted as saying that
! only the best of butter will be accept
/ ed, and that there is a contract for
/ butter at the rate of thirty-eight
cents per pound. The query of an
overwhelming number of honest, free
! citizens is how to get butter, good, bad
! or Indifferent, but it is to be remem
bered that the TRUSTEES are of the elect
Many of the guards complain that
the table furnished the prisoners is
much better. than they can furnish
their own families. The prisoners
have thirty minutes for play aftei

of the comfort of the guards. During
