The fourth volume of Baedecker's 5

invaluable guide to this country, which
IS of quite as much Importance to Amer

it is somewhat of a reflection upon the
enterprise of the American guide book
publishers that the best all-around aid

volume follows the usual Baedecker lines
and is condensed into the utmost limits
of space. The city maps are redrawn
to present the latest plans of the streets.

Apropos Of statues and common sense
the controversy concerning the statue OF
Commodore John Barry which Is to he
erected in this city eventually. Through
q competition the commission was award
ed to Mr.. Andrew O'Connor, an Irish
American sculptor residing In Paris, but
objection being made to a portion of his
original design, the War Department re-
quested Mr.. O'Connor to limit his work to
the simple statue and it's pedestal. This,
however, has not proved satisfactory to
numerous Irish-Americans who had ap-
parently previously set their heart on an
other model which had been submitted,
and who are now raising objections
to the figure of Barry as modelled by
Mr.. O'Connor. 1t Is true tnat there was
some reason for objecting to the selection
of Mr.. O'Connor's model, chief Of which
was the fact that 1t could almost certain
ly not have been executed for the amount
of money appropriated for the purpose,
but after 1t was selected there was GER
tainly nothing more to be done. A gov
ernment can not award a commission and
take 1t back again, any more than an
individual can award contract and break
it. The real crux of the matter Is that
once again the inexpediency of securing
work through competition is demonstrated
and the need Of a less haphaZard method

He will be tried befoat superior Judge William P. Law Tor who denied the motion for a change of venue asked by the defend ant on the ground that the court was biased and prejudiced against him. Judge Lawlor presided at the last trial of Calhoun which resulted in a hung jury.
 In answer to affidavits alleging bias filed by the defendants attorneys, Judge Lawlor, Assistant District At torney O'Gara, and William Otis, one of Francis ]. Heney's body guards, filed counter affidavits, denying the al legations. The Calhoun attorneys stated that the filing of the affidavit by Judge Lawlor precluded the possi- bility of his dealing fairly with the mo ton.
 Without waste of words Judge Law Tor denied the request and fixed the date for the new trial.
