ably seconded by most of the state governments
to convert into national parks the tracts of liant
in the southern and middle states which were
the scenes of the great battles of the Civil war.
Each year sees new reservations of this kind ac-
quired by purchase of congress or through other
means and set aside as permanent testimonials Of
the nations gratitude to the men who fought and
died there. Keeping pace with the creation of
new parks is the policy of extension being pur-
sued with reference to the older established bat
tlefed parks which have not included at the
outset-as few Of them have-the entire areas
embraced in the battle which they commemorate.
second and even more direct influence in fos-
tering the present activity in the creation Of
memorials in marble and bronze is the custom
which has grown up with the development of the
battlefield park plan Of suitably marking every
historic spot at the scene of great struggle be-
tween the Union and Confederate forces. This
explains the dozens and even hundreds of statues,
monuments and markers that are now to be
found in the average important battlefield park.
Some of the monuments are erected by appropri-
alton of congress or by funds set aside by the
legislatures of states that desire to thus honor
their sons who fought in defense of the flag An
even greater number of these enduring tributes.

A fine equestrian statue of General Hancock

Gettysburg being portrayed as a commander
watchful and alert in the center of activities.
The statue of General Logan, the first Of the
memorials to be unveiled during the present
century is unique in many respects. Cen

Man Who Prepared Report for
President Taft.

Washington. - Assistant Attorney
General Oscar Lawler admitted under
cross-eXamination by Attorney Bran

cation Thursday that three years ago
L. R. CLAWS cast reflections on his
competency to conduct the prosecu-
tion of certain land fraud cases while
he was United States attorney for the
southern district of California.
He said it had been demonstrated
then that CLAWS was untruthful. Mr..
Brandeis was plainly endeavoring to
show that Lawler entertained an old
grudge against CLAWS which untitled
him for the preparation of a judicial
finding for the president on the
charges made by CLAWS against Secre-
tary Ballinger.

QUIZ ENDS
SUBMISSION OF EVIDENCE IN
CONGRESSIONAL INVEsTIeA-
TIoN is CONCLUDED.
LIE is PRACTICALLY PASSED
CLAWS Testimony Regarding Missing
Letters Found Among His Effects
Is corroborated by Seattle stenos-
apher-Argument Begin May 27.

Washington.-The taking of testi-
mony in the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
trOversy ended Friday and oral argu-
ments in the case will begin May 27.
The closing testimony was marked
by the practical passing Of the lie.
A. Christensen, who succeeded L. r.
CLAWS in Office, had testified that he
never visited the grand jury room
in Seattle, where 26 mysteriously
missing letters were found in a box
containing CLAWS effects. He also
swore he did not know CLAWS effects
were stored there.
After Attorney Vertrees announced
that the defense rested it's case At
torney Brandeis called Frank L.
Spaulding, stenographer in the office
of the chief of field division at Seattle,
in rebuttal.
Spaulding swore that he had accom-
panied Christensen to the grand jury
room soon after Claws dismissal last
September to look for his stenograph-
ic note book containing dictation
which Commissioner bennett of the
land Office had given him. He said
he had told Christensen then that the
boxes stored in the room belonged to
CLAWS.
Spaulding also testified that he had
carried some papers to the grand jury
room and that the missing Cunning
ham letters might have been among
them.
What I want to know" said Repre-
sentative Madison, "is, If those letters
were carried by you to the grand jury,
whether it was by mistake or design
on the part of you or Glavis?"
"By mistake, of course" said the
| witness.
Chairman Nelson read a letter from
Secretary Ballinger in response to the
request of Mr. Brandeis that further
search failed to reveal any other let
ters than those already made public.

All of these equestrian statues have
cost considerable sums. The General
Scott statue cost $4,000, and the ped
estal $4,000 more. The bronze figure
of Mcpherson cost $4,000, and the
pedestal $4,000. The sum of $4,000
was paid for Wards matchless statue
of Thomas, and $4,000 for the ped

involved the expenditure of $4,000 all
told, and the Logan statue cost $685.

fame is, appropriately enough, the ma
tional capitalize city of Washing
ton, which is coming year by year to
take on more and more the character
of beautiful creation in architecture
and sculpture and landscape garden
ing that is the property of the whole
people. The statues to the victors in
the struggle between the north and
south occupy conspicuous positions in
the most advantageously located of
the parks and circles with which the
seat Of government abounds-verdure-
clad breathing spaces which seem as
though they might have been special
ly provided as sites for just such he
roic or life-size figures. Some of the
statues are under the shadow of the
capitol, others cluster about the White
House, and yet others are placed
where they will kindle inspiration in
the patriotic pilgrim to the capital.
Much of the impressiveness of the
statues to the military heroes of the
Federal armies is doubtless due to the
fact that almost all of them are eques-
trlan. 1t is customary In all countries
to portray as men on horseback"

men who were actual commanders of
troops, or enjoyed the title of COM

The oldest equestrian monument
now standing in the New World is a
colossal statue of Charles w. of Spain,
in the City Of Mexico. The initial
equestrian statue in the United States
is the renowned one of Gen. Andrew
Jackson, which stands in the park d.

Washington. 1t is estimated that there
are 400 equestrian statues in the
world, of which number the city on
the Potomac will have, with the com.
pletion of the Grant memorial, a total

Civil war heroes.
The first statue arranged for in
honor of warrior identified with
the Civil war was that in which Gen.
Winfield Scott is depicted mounted on
a charger at rest. This monument
was ordered in 1867, and was erected
seven year, later. General Scott is
in the uniform of lieutenant general.
The material for the figures of horse
and rider was derived from cannon
