ART IN AMERICA
 IS CRITICISED

Washington. December 15-Caustic crit ticular reference to the standard of na- tional monuments, which he characterized as "travesty of art was advanced by Thomas Nelson Page in an address be- fore the American Civic association here this afternoon.
 ''Go through the length and breadth of the land and see for yourself what the Page. Admitting that the monuments rep resent an idea, he declared, "how fright fully do they express it.''
 Mir. Page also condemned the tariff on objects of art, declaring that the coun- try did not need it for purposes of rev. enue.
 Speaking of the statues in the nation al capital, he asserted that some are good and one or two are even fine, but garbled together In every form and freak of modern dress, they present terrify- ing spectacle.
 The discussion of city planning was the principal topic of the day. Secre- tary MacVeagh presided at the after noon session.
 Speaking on Getting Into Action for a City Plan," George B. Dealey, of Dallas, Tex told how that city had been aroused to a desire for plan and how the city plan commission was finally created. He spoke first of pre- liminary organizations which had done good work all along some one certain line for the citys improvement and this had led finally to the formation of the broader and more comparative plan. Newspaper publicity, he de- clared, had been the principal means employed in getting the people of the city interested in the idea. He spoke in hopeful terms of the work of the press in this direction, declaring that without 1t he doubted If the desired re- suits could have been accumulated

 There doesn't seem to be any place for genuine dyed-in the-wool stand batter any more. We have had to take to the woods. As some wag said the other night large section of the republican party will have to go into forestry conservation if we keep oil taking to the tall timber this way.
 "It looks to me as if the progress sives can put over almost anything they please on us now. We are in the position of the penitent with a broken and a contrite heart. Violent hands have been laid on our idol and the tariff is not going to be revised by It's friends"

HANSON MOURNED
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Was Here . Week Ago and Friends Remarked on How We'll He
 Was Looking

The news of the sudden death of Maj. J. F. Hanson, president of the Central of Georgia railroad and Ocean Steamship company, was received here with the greatest surprise yesterday. While Major Hanson's indisposition has been the cause of solicitous inquiries upon his recent visits here, his sudden taking away was a distinct shock to his wide circle of friends in Birmingham.
 He was in the city about one week ago to discharge a sad duty to him. and that was to act as honorary pail bearer at the funeral of the late Col. H. F. De- Bardeleben. At that time comment was made of the veteran railroad presidents rev erence for his friend which would
 influence him to make a trip here for nc other reason. and at this season of the year. He came. however, and to @ few personal friends here said that he was feeling better than in several months. He remained two days and was the guest of Mir. and Mrs. Ross c. Smith at their country home. That night he was taken with some slight indigestion. which was passed over without causing special injury. On the last trip hero he was also the guest of President George Gordon Crawford for a trip over the properties of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company. Major Hanson withstood that journey without apparent impairment of his physical condition. He said that he was greatly pleased to have been shown the properties under the guid- ance of MT Crawford at that time. He returned to Atlanta seemingly in the best ofs condition for a man of his years.

He told a thrilling story of the disaster that had brought death to every other member of the crew. News of the tragedy was brought here last night by the steam CT Moanoa from Brisbane.
 The derelict was a pearling lugger of 200 tons, the Hugh Norman. She was sailing down the coast from Broome to Freemantle, when she struck reef. The dingey was launched and all members of the crew except Anderson and the cap tain boarded her. The little boat drift ed away and was swamped. All her occupants were drowned.
 The captain ordered Anderson to jump in after the dingey, but seeing three sharks cruising In the vicinity, he re- fused.
 Later the lugger drifted off the reef and the captain leaped overheard and tried to swim ashore, but he was at tackled and devoured by sharks.
 Next day Anderson decided to risk all i'll an effort to reach land. It took hirn one hour to swim ashore and he was pur- sued by sharks, but escaped them.
