MONUMENT TO LINCOLN TO
BE URGED ON CONGRESS-,

Washington, Dec THE cree
ton of monument in this city in
honor of President Lincoln will be
urged upon congress for approval by
Senator Cullom, republican from II
linois. He believes that Lincoln has
been too long neglected and that a
monument should be erected with
out further delay, and regardless OF
expense. Whether the cost should
be 100000 or 100000, Sen
ator Cullum said, should not be Civ
en- consideration in selection Of a
suitable design.
Cullom was close friend Of
Lincoln, and thus the personal ele-
ment as well as his admiration for
Lincoln's greatness enters into hts
desire to see the emancipation prop
erly honored.
Provision for the erection OF q
memorial he says, sis a wish I have
cherished as duty, which / hope
hope may be fulfilled before end
my service"
The project has been pending in
congress for years, but the failure
of statesmen to agree upon a site
has prevented legislation.
Two statues OF Lincoln now grace
the streets OF washington. One
shows him in the act of striking the
shackles from a slave, and the otner
is small statue of the war presi-
dent standing on high pillar of
stone. The demand, however, IL
for grand memorial, and Senator
Cullom believes that conditions are
favorable for getting action by
congress this winter.

PROBE
BY GRAND JURY
!, AGAIN PUT OFF
Inquiry Postponed for Week,
When Employees Will Be
Placed on Rack.

After the three-hour probe by the
grand jury into the management of the
Hospital for the Insane at Overlook
late yesterday afternoon it was decided
to let the matter rest until one week
from today, when, according to the
present program, employees of the hos
pital will be quizzed once more.
-Four witnesses were heard yesterday,
Including former Judge Augustus f.
Eggers, T. Edward Burke. president OF
the Board of Fire Commissioners;
Charles j. Hamburger, chief of the fire
department in Overlook, and Jonathan
Jacoby. former engineer at the institu-
ton. Their testimony, as the STAR
told yesterday. was as to the protection
from fire at the hospital, with the ex-
ception of that of Mr.. Jacoby. who
was asked whether he had seen any
patients ill treated, and said he had
not. He had not even heard of any i'll
treatment, he said. although his work
took him into various parts of the
premises.
President Burke and former Judge
Eggers were called because as men,
bers of former grand juries they had
inspected the institution and joined in
the recommendations to remedy certain
defects, and the committee on county
hospitals of the Board of F~reeholders
allowed the matter to slumber peace
fully.
That committee will continue tomor-
row on its line of investigation into
the management of the hospital by DR..

QUASH CHARGES AGAINST
FARRELL IN COLLINS CASE,
Detective Is Cleared of Blame by
Police Board.

As exclusively predicted in the EVE
MING STAR, after the first of the two
Investigating sessions OF the Board of
Police Commissioners in the Dolly Col
Inns case, that body yesterday quashed
the tentative charges against Sergeant
Joseph Farrell, of the detective bureau.
and I've that officer a clean bill of
health for his actions in helping the
Collins girl out of the country.
According to the commissioners no
evidence of any culpability which
would warrant charges being brought
against Farrell had been adduced dur-
ing the investigation. and. therefore,
the matter now before the public for
some time will be dropped.
The point at issue was whether or
not Sergeant Farrell had been within
his duties when, on January % last,
he had accompanied Dolly Collins, a
convicted shoplifter, to the pier in
New York from which she was to sail
for Ireland, after dropping a 100000
suit for breach of promise against Rob-
ert Sutphen, son of DR.. Sutphen, of
this city. The investigation moved
along the lines of finding out whether
or not Sergeant Farrell had violated
any rules of the police department in
accompanying the girl to New York
and whether or not she had been
coerced into leaving the country by the
police.
From the evidence, principally that
given by Sergeant Thomas r. Council.
who, at the time of the incident, was
in command of the detective bureau.
it was proven that Sergeant Farrell.
still on the Dolly Collins case, was
carrying 1t to completion, and that.
doing so, he nae a right to go to New
York or any other place in order to
see the case finished so that it might
he marked completed on the docket.
Absolutely no evidence of any coercion
was brought out. every witness who
testified stating under oath that the
Collins girl was very happy in the
thought of going home. AS to any col
fusion between the police n the law
yers of Sutphen. that assumption was
riddled by direct testimony.
The case was thoroughly investigated
by the board, following the letter from
Mayor Haussling. in which he ordered
the probe, and nothing was left undone
to bring the matter to a conclusion.
The finding was absolutely borne out
by the evidence as brought out by
Charles M. Myers. assistant city attor-
rev who had charge of the case for the
city.

Frrom a stan Correspondent,

TRENTON, Feb. Ex-senator George
s.. Silzer, of Middlesex. yesterday after
noon introduced a bill to force the
