TROUBLE OVER STATUE
OF BARRY TO BE SETTLED
Following Approval by Fine Arts
Body, Acceptance Of Boyle
Design Seems Likely.

The long-drawn-out controversy as to
the design of the statue Of Commodore
Barry, to be erected in this city by d.
rection Of Congress. seems now to be in
q fair way OF settlement. The fine arts
commission has approved the sketch
model of the proposed statue submitted
by John J. Boyle. New York sculptor,
who was specially chosen for that work
by the congressional commission charged
with the erection of the statue. That
commission will meet in few days to
consider the report of the art commits
sion.
The congressional commission undoubt-
eddy will accept the report Of the artists
and award the contract for the statue to
Sculptor Boyle. The congressional CONF
mission had practically approved Mr.
Boyle's design before it's submission to
the art commission and delayed its ac-
ceptance only in order to have the art
commission pass on its merits strictly
as a work of art.
Franklin Park had been tentatively Sc
lected as the sity of the Barry statue
but final action on that point has been
suspended to await the judgment Of the
fine arts commission, to which the ques-
tion has been referred for report.
The meeting of the commission at
which the Boyle design was offered was
presided over by Mr.. Millet. the vice
chairman, in the absence of Mr.. Burn
ham, the chairman. The other members
present were Mr.. Hastings, Mr.. French
and Mr.. Olmsted

MADERO HAS AGENT HERE.
Brother of Mexican Revolutionary
Leader Issues a Statement.

Gustavo A. Madero. a brother OF the
leader of the revolutionary party IN
Mexico, has established quarters in tins
city, as the representative of that party.
He has issued statement in regard to
the purposes of the revolutionists and
their attitude toward Americans. In II
he makes an emphatic and absolute de-
NAL of the statement credited to the ad-
herents of President Diaz, that the
revolutionary movement initiated by Don
Francisco l. Madero ON the 10Th instant
finds active and sympathetic support by
the anti-American element in Mexico.
THE revolution said Agent Madero,
sis directed against the personal and
despotic government of Cen. Diaz, the
dictator, and his oligapchy by an out
ragged betrayed and plundered people,
whose sole desire and purpose are to re-
establish in Mexico republican form OF
government, government OF law and
order such as is maintained in. the United
States Meanwhile the rights and IN
terests of American citizens, as Well as
those of other nations, in MEXICO nave
been and will be most scrupulously re-
spected by the forces of the revolution,
i'm accordance with the requirements OF
international law and modern usage"
The officials of the State Department
are aware of Senior Maderos presence IN
this city, but do not regard his status as
official in any sense.

Statement of Montana Man
May Secure New Trial for
Accused Physician.

HELENA. Mont, November 24.-Tf DR..
3. c. Hyde, convicted in Kansas City,
Mo-, Of murder by poisoning Col. Thomas
SwSpe, millionaire philanthropist. is
granted new trial. 1t probably will be
because Joseph Edgerton. a prominent
Helena mining man and member OF the
last legislative assembly, saw Hyde's
name in the directory of the Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity.
Mr.. Edgerton last night told the story
Of how he sent Hyde box of cyanide,
estimated at two pounds. and how. more
than seventeen years later. he came to
let Hyde's attorney know of this fact.
Edgerton's statement is considered OF
great Importance to Hyde, in view Of the
fact that the latter, during his trial
could not explain to the satisfaction of
the jury where he had procured cyanide,
which he admitted he had been using for
many years.

Think Milk to Blame.

The naval surgeons declared that there
was no connection between 1.-THE typhoid
epidemic at the academy and the over
sailed food. They incline to the belief
that the fever was CAUSED by milk which
was received for a short time from a
source which had not previously sup
piled the academy.
There are now twenty-three cases OF
typhoid fever at the academy. and four
OF the patients are In a serious condition.
according to reports received b. Surge on
General Stokes. He expects that few
more cases of the fever may develop
next week as . result Of drinking milk
supposed to have contained the germ,
but he believes that by the end Of the
current month the period OF incubation.
and, consequently. all danger, will have
passed.
The fever outbreak probably will lead
to the academy being supplied with milk
from It's own herd OF cattle.

NO POISON IN SUGAR
AT NAVAL ACADEMY
Analysis Shows It Contained
Only Table SaIt-MiIk
Blamed for Typhoid.

That the sugar said to have been tam
pered with and alleged to have caused the
wholesale outbreak of stomach trouble
among the midshipmen at the Annapolis
Naval Academy contained nothing but
ordinary table salt, was the result OF the
analysis conducted by naval experts at
the Naval Medical School Hospital. In this
city. A statement to that effect was
made by Surgeon General Stokes in a repor,
to the superintendent Of the Naval Acad-
envy, transmitted through the Navy De-
partment
1t had been suggested that mild forms
Of rat poison or other substances might
have been the doses placed in the sugar
and foods, but the tests were conducted
extensively to determine whether any Of
the various substances that might cause
the forms OF sickness were contained In
the sugar, but they proved to the con-
trary.
Onicials Of the Navy Department are
satisfied that the salt found its way into
the sugar purely through accident. and
that there was no plot at all, as has been
SUSPECTED.
