TOO INSIGNIFICANT,
DECLARES WRITER

SAN FRANCISCO Cal, May A.
United States Senator Martin n john
son. of North Dakota, in assaiIing the
private character of Alexander Hamil-
ton, has aroused Gertrude Atherton, his
torical novelist, to the highest pitch Of
Indignation Miss Atherton is a most
enthusiastic admirer of the fame OF
Hamilton and her novel, The Con
queror," was written only after she had
personally investigated the entire life
work of the distinguished statesman
A real Hamilton memorial is the life
ambition of the authorcss and the at
tempt Of senator Johnson - have the
authorization of the Hamilton statue re-
pealed was bitterly denounced by her
johnson is too insignificant to mem
ton in the same breath with Alexan-
der Hamilton" declared Miss Ather-
ton, ''and / don't believe he cares two
cents about Hamilton. In fact, l think
1t is safe TO say he never heard about
Hamilton until he received the request
TO contribute to the fund and then he
seized upon the chance 20 have his yelp
heard
Hamilton may have been the rake
that Johnson says he was. In his day
many men were rakes, but that fact la
no way destroyed his usefulness to the
nation. The entire country runs on the
wheels that Hamilton planred and this
attack IS too contemplate to demand
extended answer.
But we must consider the differences
that time has made. Must the conven-
tions of today govern the fame and
memory Of Hamilton? We have become
so deadly proper in the last fifty years
that much that was once pardoned is
now reckOned deadly sin. But we must

room. He took one glance at his father
and family, and then turned away his
head. In another moment the jury had
entered the room, and were at once
polled.
What is your verdict2" said the clerk
OF the court, and only the sObs ana
means of Jordans sisters broke the
stiffness until the foreman said Guilty
OF murder in the first degree"
After the verdict. the court announced
that the defense would be given the Gus
tonary thirty days in which to file an
appeal
