this matter. Germany probably stands
first, England next. 1t is because of the
superior training given students in these
countries in government schools That
they rank high in various manufactures
But in America at the present time
there is evidence of an awakening. In
dustrial art schools wherein design and
craftsmanship are taught are being es-
tablished In many places. well known
educator who was in Washington short
time ago spoke Of the need of industrial
art training and Of Washington as a
strategic point for the dissemination of
such training through the south. There
is no reason why the present Arts and
Crafts School should not in time grow
into q great school of industrial art AL
ready. in fact, it has taken steps in this
direction. One of the students whose
work was shown in the exhibition is a
teacher in a southern school. and has
come for a six-week course which will
better fit her to give instruction in the
crafts. For this reason, as a factor in
large movement which has not only To-
cal but national significance. this school,
enterprise. and the excellent work being
done by its students are of more than or
binary Importance.
IN little more than a week-that is De-
cember 12-the Corcoran Gallery's
third biennial exhibition of oil paintings
by living American artists will be opened.
The final meetings of the jury of selec-
ton and award were held in this city at
the gallery this week. Just how many
pictures were passed upon by this jury
is not known, but about $50 have been
accepted and will be hung. These, 1t is
said, are by the leading American paint
ers, and will represent the best Of their
current output. None Of the pictures in
this exhibition has been shown before
In this city, and many Of them have not
been previously exhibited. This exhibit
ton will bring many notable persons to
Washington. At the opening reception
will be directors of the principal art mu-
seums, art collectors, artists and critics
In every respect it promises to be a
notable event.

erected on the northwest corner OF La
fayette Square, will be unveiled with ap-
propriate ceremony. This monument con-
sists of a statue of Won Steuben and two
subsidiary groups. The statue is heroic
in size, being eleven feet in height, and
represents the German officer as gen.
eral Of cavalry in continental uniform.
He wears a cooked. hat, high military
boots and, over his uniform. heavy
cloak enveloping his figure. Both hands
are hidden, the left resting upon his
sword. The pedestal upon which Steuben
stands is approximately twenty feet high
and at its base on either side are the
subsidiary groups, one representing Mil

mostly entirely the minute style of paint

Franklin, Pa. Aug. 24.-Joseph C..

PRESIDENTS EPiSTLE LIKELY CAUSE BREAK WITH

HINT LATTER MAY RESIGN
Unusual Condition Brought About by Rejection of Roosevelt as Chair man-Serves Notice on "Old
 Guard" No Compromise.

New York, Aug. 24.-President Tafts intimation that Vice-President Sherman practiccd deception in con- nection with the rejection of Colonel Roosevelt as temporary chairman of the coming Republican state conven- tion has startled politicians as noth- ing else has in years.
 Taken in connection with Roose- veit's declaration that he is willing to go as delegate to the convention and that there will be mo compro- misc" 1t forehsadows fight between the progressives and the "old guard" that will be bitter.
 Taft's Letter Is Significant.
 Taft's letter, addressed to Lloyd c. Griscom, chairman of the New York county Republican committee, in ef- feet stands by Roosevelt, repudiates Sherman and rebukes the state com mittee for refusing to select Roose welt to deliver the keynote" speech at Saratoga in September.
 President Taft was hardly expected to break his long silence with such a loud crash. His letter is regarded by many as peace offering to Roose- welt. Others see in it determina- tion to join in a movement to bring about a Republican cleanup in New York state.
 Situation Is Unparalleled.
 But whatever it's intent, his letter Is expected to bring about situation between the president and vice-presi dent of this nation wholly unparal- leled. Heretofore the relations be- tween the highest and the next to the highest government officers have been friendly and confidential.
 The presidents letter to MT. Gris- com is believed to mark an open break between the president and vice president The administration that has always reposed great confidence In MT sherman now accuses him of a political deception so apparent that some seem to think the vice-president should resign.
 Friends of Colcrel Roosevelt have il Isisted that an important telegram had been suppressed in connection with the temporary chairmanship. It develops the message was sent to Sherman. The vice-president. when told of the presidents letter, said he did not desire to see 1t, and all he would say was:

"6iG DAN" cOUGHLIN AND WILL LIAM ARMSTRONG MAY RE.
 TURN TO TESTIFY.
ILLINOIS CENTRAL CASE
Both Are Anxious to Get Back te Former Haunts if Promised Immunity From Prose
 cution by Wayman.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-An attempt is to be made by the three defendants in the Illinois Central graft" cases to bring back to Chicago Big Dan" Coughlin, made notorious at the time of the murder of Dr. Cronin, about 21 years ago, and later by his forfeiting a $20,O00 bond in an Illinois Central land case bribery investigation, and also to induce the return to this city of William Armstrong. indicted with Coughlin in the alleged bribery af- fair.
 Both Willing to Return.
 Both Coughlin and Armstrong are said to be willing to return to Chicago and tell all they know about hidden Illinois Central affairs.
 Attorneys for the men now accused by the Illinois Central officials have been in correspondence with Cough lin. who Is now in Honduras, Central America, and with Armstrong, who Is in Seattle. Both, it is claimed, are not only willing. but deeply anxious, to return to their former haunts.
 If promised immunity in the case in which they were indicted and from trial of which they fled about nine years ago, Coughlin, it is asserted, will relate inside affaffirs of the Illi- nois Central of such startling charges, the attorneys intimate, that will pro- duce a succession of sensations such as has seldom been produced in a court room.
 Wayman Does Not "Warm Up."
 The counsel for Hartman Ewing and Taylor, the men now accused by the Illinois Central, are making every effort to induce States Attorney Way man to pledge immunity to Coughlin and Armstrong in return for evidence they will give. the attorneys claim, Of wholesale attempts at jury bribing.
 Wayman, however, remains strange ly silent, saying In response to direct questions as to whether or not he will consent to the terms proposed and use his powers to expose the alleged jury bribing. 'I am not interested in. it." From his irritable replies it is inferred that he does not intend to start the investigation Hartman and others demand.

 Besides Wallace and Taft, the towns of Bryson, Deborgia and Haughton have been wiped out.
 While the situation is far from re- leved. the progress made at St. Regis, Mulan and Saltese, which seemed to be doomed. has encouraged the fire fighters. and they now hold out hopes of being able to hold the flames in check until a rain comes that will be sufficiently heavy to extinguish the fires.
 The wind is dying down at all points. according to reports. Condi- tons are still more or less chaotic throughout the fire zone, and 1t is still almost impossible to get accu- rate details of loss of life or property damage It is known that a fire along Cedar creek, in Idaho, near Saltese, destroyed the plants of the Kansas City Commercial company and the -.cador company, narrowly missing an immense dredge of the former concern.
 Rescue Party Is Trapped.
 Six men are believed to have per ished in this fire. A part of eight started out with pack horses and were caught by fire in the mountains. Two members of the party reached Mis- soula and reported that their horses were killed, and they did not know what had become of their compan- ions.

 Tnere is no wind, the gale that prevailed subsiding and brought new confidence to the fighters.
