WANT PROPORTION

There should be q better proportion

Motor Age, an authority. says there
have been too many racing events in
proportion 10 the number Of reliability
tours and runs.
The total number Of concerns partici-
psting in racing events is fewer than
that participating IN reliability runs and
tours, yet there have been more racing
events. than reliability runs and tours
combined The result of this is that
many concerns not in favor Of racing
have brought forth the charge Of favor
itism, that is. giving too much atten-
uon to the racing end Undoubtedly this
has been an unconscious error during

The suit was Eled by Attorneys

1t is claimed that the two railroads
being purchased for Joint operation
are really competing railroads through

roads were to be Jointly purchased anc

was then figured out,

to- day contend that this transaction

Charlottesville, Va, April 9.--Presi-
dent Alderman, of the University OF
Virginia, has received letters from
Andrew Carnegie and Senator Root,
announcing with regret their inability
to be present at the proposed Found
ers' Day exercises at this institution
on next Wednesday. Mr.. Carnegie re-
turned a few days ago from the West,
where he had been unable to escape
persistent popular attention. Many
banquets and much speech making
produced their usual result of fatigue.
which. added to slight attack of
lumbago, compels Mr.. Carnegie to give
up his visit to the university, in
which he has shown a profound inter-
est. Senator Root is in the clutches
of grippe, and suffering from bad
throat. His physician regards him
as too unwell to meet his enGn ge-
ment. These unfortunate circum-
stances have compelled the abandon
ment of the celebration of Founders
Day for this session.

CEMETERY GUSTS
CUPID AND PSYCHE
Complaint Made About Strange
Monument Over Girls
Grave
LOVERS GIFT MARKED PLOT
Trustees Decide That Burial
Ground Is Not Fitting Place
for Such Work Of Art.

New York. April o.--Cupid and Psyche
have been expelled from Greenwood
Cemetery. in Brooklyn. as "undeslr-
able" The banishcd pair have taken
refuge in an icebox In florists shop.
The NEUROLOGICAL lovers, represented
by marble statuette several feet In
height, marked the grave of a young
woman in the cemetery. Regarding 1T
as an improper monument in a place of
the dead, the authorities there ordered
1t removed. 1t is now just outside
the cemetery, stored in the old refrig-
orator of the shop at Ninth Avenue and
Twentieth Street. Mrs. Mary l.. Stct-
Ter, of 22i4 Sydenham Street. Philadel-
phia. is the owner of the statuette. 1t
adorned THO grave of her daughter
Alice.
Some years ago Miss Stetler met a
wealthy young Southerner, and the
two fell in love. Her sutton was a
lover of art. and while travelling in
italy he bought the Cupid and Psyche
statuette, the work of an Italian sculp-
tor, as gift for his fiancee. Just be-
fore the date set for the wedding the
young man became Ill and died. Her
lovers last gift became the most cher.
ished of Miss SStetler's possessions.
had the treasured statuette put in her
room, that 1t might be always in her
sight.
She died last June, and before the
end came she expressed a wish that 1t
be placed upon her grave.
True to her promise. Mrs. Stetler had
the statuette placed there A founda-
ton at the head of the grave was laid
for 1t. and it was put in place about
two weeks ago. The Stetler plot is on
Border Avenue, a much Travelled road,
and the strange monument attracted
| the attention of mnsly visitors. Pro-
sently some one complained to Super
| intendent William c. Grassau that 1t
was not a proper object for cemetery
He went to the plot, looked Cupid and
| Psyche over, and they impressed him
| as being undesirable characters for
| such place.
] Mr.. Grnssau reported the matter to
| the trustees, who, after some discus
sion. decided for Punishment. BY their
| contract with the lot owners the trus-
tees have tho right to say what kind
of monuments shall be placed within
the cemetery Therefore this cornmuni-
cation was sent to Mrs. Stetier by an
officer OF the corporation:
"My attention has just been called to
the statuettc of Cupid and Psyche
placed In your lot, This is not pro-
per object to be placed in the cemetery.
| and I must insist upon your having 1t
removed"
Mr.. Stetler thercupon had the statu-
4 cite stored in the florists From an
/ artistic point OF view tho cemetery au-
thorities had no criticism TO express.
hut they feel that city of the dead
/ ,uas no place for cupid and Psyche.
