He said that he did not believe Ca

He says that he believes Taylor inno-

Gov. Wilson further stated that
no demand had been made ON him

BEETHOVEN MONUMENT
To Be Largest Statue IN Paris
Appo PIRATE Site Chosen.
Paris, April 81.

Paris, April %
Paris. which was the first to appreciate the
genius OF Heinrich Heine persistently refused
a hearing to Wagner. and was the last capital
IN Europe to add '-Tannhajiser'' to the repertory
of It's Academy Of Music. Wagner has now as
keen admirers in Paris as in Munich, and busts
of the composer Of the tetralogy are placed in
the foyers of the opera and OF the opera
Comique. Heine has his statue in the Pere-la-
Chaise Cemetery, and Beethoven will have his
one of the largest in Paris, as soon as the funds
are raised for putting the work into stone. Only
$4,000 is needed to complete the required sum-
and great effort will be made this summer to
get the money together. Independently OF the
government. which will be the official purchaser
Of the monument. a gala at the Opera in May
and a subscription list opened simultaneously
in Paris and other musical centres are the
means adopted by the Beethoven committee and
1t is fully expected that the monument will be
erected within a years time.

ANONYMOUSLY stored in the atelier. near the
Pont de PAlma. 1t was until few days ago
the near neighbor of that other commemora-
tive monument destined TO adorn Paris, which is
the work of Rodin. In honor Of Victor Hugo.
The sculptor OF the monument to Beethoven
IS at the beginning OF his career a youthful
Frenchman, with slim, delicate figure. thin,
pointed face and big black eyes. Jose de
Charmoy has been Eve years working on his
great monument. which will be the largest in
the city. Size in itself is not a merit but II
seems fitting enough that the great master
should have colossal monument. and since the
finest site in Paris has been allotted to the work
de Charmoy has given full play to his imagina-
ton, and has placed the musicians huge re-
cumbent figure on slab of stone ten metres in
length. BeethOvens characteristic and easily
recognized face looks down from a high pedestal
which Is supported by four colossal winged fe-
male figures. the whole to be carried out In a
white stone not marble.
The work will be placed the green lawn of
La Muette, at the entrance to the BoIs de
Boulogne, and will have for background the ap-
parently limitless wood. with its rich and varie-
gated foliage-an ideal environment for its pro-
portions There will be no buildings near to
cramp or crush the effect. and 1t ought to prove
one OF the most successful statues here.
Robins Victor Hugo. also a reoumbent figure,
but considerably smaller than de Charmoy's
Beethoven, will be much less happy IN situation
1t is being placed In the gardens or the Palais
Royal. whose handsome quadrangle OF build
ings. separated by the low chestnut trees in
stately lines. has rather the effect OF crampinz
the statuary already existing there and dis
tracing the attention of the spectator from the
works.
