WENDLING KEEPS In
BEST OF HUMOR

San Francisco, July 31.-Henry Joseph
Vending, held In the city prison here
for the murder of S-year -old Alma Kell-
ner of Louisville. KY, will leave In the
company of Captain of Detectives Car
ney next Tuesday to face the charge
that rests against him in the city from
which he fed last January He is anx-
ious to return and his confident manner
in expressing his desire to face the mur-
der indictment and have the thing over
has all the earmarks of sincerity.
He laughingly protests his innocence
and says the Louisville murder charge
does not worry him nearly as much as
the thought of meeting his irate brother
in-law, Louis Arnold, whose wrath he
says. caused him to leave home SO sud
denly.
The prisoner was not interviewed by the
police today and no effort is likely to
be made to secure confession until
Louisville is reached.
Vending was tired and sleepy today
when he walked into the presence of the
newspaper men, who had come to in
terview him, but his bright smile was
not forgotten.
This is a strange place, this JAIL" he
said. II don't like it here. I want to
the troubles. They say | killed little
children down there In my, town. The
police have made a mistake. In two
or three days after l get there with
Captain Carney I'll be at work again
and then forget all this trouble"
Every precauton will be taken by Cap
tain Carney to prevent his prisoner COM
mitting suicide on the train. The en-
try into Louisville probably will be Sc
cret, to avoid any demonstration
Il worked quietly to get Vending"
said Captain Carney, land I'll take him
back quietly. I followed him wherever
he went and placed him In the hands of
the San Francisco police-into net from
which he couldn't escape"
Captain Carney's chase after Vending
led him over 1880 miles. He was In 27
large cities and many smaller towns. He
was rs days on the road, in which time
he Travelled on limited trains, freight
trains. burros, stages. steamers. ferry
boats and across country at some places
on foot.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-08-01

Beverly. Mass, July S1.-President
Taft has approved without comment an
opinion by Attorney General Wicker
sham to the effect that there is no pro-
vision of law by which the statue of
Gen. Robert q. Lee in Confederate uni
form can be removed from statuary
hall in the capitol at washington.
In addition to deciding the question
on a purely legal basis. Mr.. Wicker
sham argues the matter from an ethical
viewpoint. declaring that Lee has come
to be regarded as typifying all that
was best in the cause to which he gave
his services and the most loyal and
unmurmuring acceptance of the COM
plete overthrow of that cause.
That the state of Virginia should
designate him for that place in statuary
hall as one illustrious for distinguish ed
military service the Attorney General
declares is only natural and would be
within the reading of the law.
Mr.. Wickersham's opinion was called
forth by protests to the President from
the department of New York, Grand
Army of the Republic. In his opinion.
addressed to and approved by the Presi-
dent, Attorney General Wickersham
says:
Il have read the resolutions adopted
by the department of New Y York, Grand
Army of the Republic, at Syracuse OIL
June 23, and the communications OF
Hon. James Tanner with respect to
them. The act of July 2, 1864, re-
ferred to provides for the creation OF
suitable structures and ratings in the
old hall of representatives for the re-
ception and protection of statuary,
which Is to be under the supervision
and direction of the chief of engineers
in charge of public buildings and
grounds and the statute authorizes the
President to inyitoe each and all the
states to provide and furnish statues
in marble or bronze. not exceeding two
in number, from each state of persons
who have been citizens thereof and
illustrious for their historic renown for
distinguished civic or military services
such as each state shall doem to be
worthy of this national commemora-
ton; and when so furnish ed the same
shall be placed in the old hall of the
House of Representatives in the capi-

Lee Statue VIII Remain
In Nations Stdtudry Hall
President Taft Approves Opinion of Attorney General Wicker
sham That There Is No Law to Cause the Removal of
the Lee Statue Because of the Uniform
Upon the Figure

tol of the United States, which is set
aside, or as much thereof as may be
necessary, for national statuary hall
for the purpose herein indicated.
1T is probably true that when this
act was passed Congress did not con-
template that any state would desig-
nate one or more of its citizens who
were then engaged in warlike rebellion
against the government of the United
States as persons illustrious for their
historic renown or for distinguished
civic or military services whose statues
should be placed in this hall.
"Neyerth eless, perhaps, in the hope
of what Mr. Lincoln SO firmly described
as this scourge of war might soon
pass away and that a reunited country
might be realized Congress placed no
limitation in the act upon the exercise
of the discretion of any state In select
Ing these persons whom 1t may deem to
be worthy Of this national commemora-
ton.
"It is now As years since the civil
war closed Robert 4. Lee has come
to be generally regarded as typifying
not only all that was best in the cause
to which at the behest of his native
state he gave his services, but also the
most loyal and unmurmuring accept
ance of the complete overthrow or that
cause. That the state of Virginia
should designate him as one 1llustrlous
for distinguished military service is
therefore natural that his statue
should be clothed in the Confederate
uniform. thus eloquently testfSing to
the fact that a magnanimous coun
try has completely forgiven an unsuc-
cessful attempt to destroy the Uniotn
and that the statue should be accepted
in the national statuary hall as the
symbol of the acceptance without mis-
givings, of a complete Nlrrender ana
a renewed loyalty should surely pro-
woke no opposition.
But at al levents, Independently OF
the question of taste, the act of Con-
gress places no restriction upon the
designation by the states OF those
whom they may desire to honor in this
way nor does it vest in any official
any censorship concerning the designa-
tion of the costume in which that statue
shall be depicted.
Therefore, under the existing law,
am of the opinion that no objection can
