FIRST STEPS FOR
THE VAN HORN
LINCOLN SHAFT
FreehOlders Requested to Grant
Permission for Monument
Near Court House.
MERCHANT BEQUEATHED
$4,000 FOR PURPOSE
Other Memorials to Be Erected
to Cost One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars.

A request made to the Board of Free
holders by the executors of the estate
of the late Amos Van Horn yesterday
for permission to erect a Lincoln monu-
ment on the large triangle plaza in
front of the Court House, was referred
to the building committee of the board.
Mr.. Van Horn, who amassed a large
fortune in the furniture business, and
was a veteran of the Civil War, left in
his last will 800, 900 for the erection of a
monument to New Jersey soldiers and
sailors in Military Park, a Washington
Lincoln monument in Lincoln Park or
in front of the Court House, If a site a.
the last-named place could be secured.
John MARTENS. of the executors,
said today that the Court House site
was preferred, because of its elevation
and the fact that a Lincoln monument
there would be seen by a vast number
of people. He was asked If the Shade
Tree Commission a any control of the
Court House plaza, and replied that he
had been told the city put the plaza In
shape and that the commission might
therefore have SOM control. The re-
quest of the executors to the Board of
Freeholders would probably result in a
decision on that question.
AT a recent meeting of the Market
Street Business Mems Improvement AS
ISOLATION 1T was stated that the Shade
Tree Commission was considering a
proposition to erect a $4,000 ornamental
pole on the Court House plaza to hold
several flaming arc lamps. II this plan
shall be carried out, the marble Court
House illuminated Inc the Lincoln
monument erected on the plaza the
night scene then viewed from the -Four
Corners would be one Of the most
beautiful ever witnessed.

MATTER OF MEMORY.
TilIman Thus Replies to Criticism OF
Attorney General Bonaparte.

Observation-Disclosures of "a
President Roosevelt are an exchange
of statements, raising the issue of
memory between Attorney General
Bonaparte and Senator Tillman, and
an attack upon Roosevelt in a public
speech in New York by former Sen.
ator Towne.
Bonaparte issued a written state
ment in reply to a portion Of Senator
Tillman's speech in the senate with
reference to the Oregon land grants,
in which Senator Tillman undertook
to clear himself of charges made
against him by President Roosevelt.
Bonaparte denies in his statement that
Tillman ever told me a word of any
connection on his part with an ar
rangement to acquire part of these
lands"
With reference to the Tillman
charge that Roosevelt is aiding his
dear friend Hartman in holding
1000, 900 acres of public domain" b.
naparte points out that suits to re-
cover the Hartman lands were begun
September 4, 1908.
Tillman, replying in an interview to
the Bonaparte statement with refer
ence to the Oregon land deal, says the
question is zone of memory, not of
veracity." He invites Bonaparte to
join w:th him in making affidavits as
to what passed between them in their
interview, and allow the public to be
judge.
