American war, Americans have
begged of congress to remove the
wreck and recover the bodies or what
is left of them and give them a de-
cent burial. Many patriotic or
carnations have petitioned three diff
terent presidents, secretaries OF the
navy and war, for the removal OF the
wreck and the placing of parts of it
in various national cemeteries and
other points of general interest.
1t was not until the year 1910.
twelve years after the explosion,
that the pleadings were heard by
congress. 1t was on May 8, 1910,
that congress at last gave the presi-
dent bill to sign which authorized
the removal of the wreck and the re-
I'covery, if possible, of the remainder
of the heroic crew.
The war department under the act
at once began the work of remov-
ing the wreck and complying with the
act, and on October 13, 1910, after
President Taft had approved the plan
submitted to him by board of army
engineers consisting of Colonel Will
liam M. Black, Lieutenant-C Colonel
Mason M. Patrick and Captain Har-
vey B. Ferguson, for the work Of
placing the wreck in such shape that
the bodies could be recovered, an ex-
animation made of the hull to deter
mine, if possible, the real cause of the
explosion, and the subsequent re-
moval of the wreck was begun.
The Board of Engineer officers went
to the scene of the disaster, made
soundings and other technical and
expert examinations, with the result
that the work necessary for a care
full examination and opportunity to
explore for remains is approximately
one-half completed
Congress allowed 100000 for the
work. At the time the bill was pass
ed engineer officers gave it as their
expert opinion that it could not be
done under $5OO,OOO, and possibly it
would take much more A review of
what has really been accomplished
will clearly indicate that before the

over state questions had given him
something closely akin to a double
chin, and even the tongue of flattery
would hesitate to ascribe to him any
thing that could be described as a
waist line. Had Mr.. Adams been a
Roman proconsul the sculptor would
have represented him in bath robe,
with battle AK in his hand, and such
little physical defects as have been
pointed opt would not be noticed.
But attired as substantial citizen
of Boston, at time when tailors were
still proceeding on the theory that
the masculine form was thing OF
beauty and adorned in knee pants, a
spiked tailed coat and frilled shirt,
the Massachusetts patriot does not
look to the average spectator like a
man capable of teetering the throne
of England until the occupant is ready
to shin down and crawl under the
royal bed for safety.
Some improvement in the general
effect of statuary hall might be pro
duced if the sculptors did better team
work. A convention of statuary hal
sculptors which would adopt rules and
regulations and some uniform spe
cifications undoubtedly would make
for good. The first thing such CO
operation should strive for should be
Standardization of statues as tc
size. AS it is, no two are executed
on the same scale, and as a result
what might be called the sky line ol
statuary hall is very bad, Artistic
consideration aside, the conclusions
invited by comparisons are most un
lust to the statesmen represented
Some are giants in size and some are
dwarfs. Uniformity of style in the
matter of clothes also would worn
Improvement. 1t is not too harsh
criticism to say that the average III
of clothing in statuary hall Is very
poor. and a good consulting tailol
would not be a bad addition to the
staff of sculptors. No matter how
powerful a statesman's intellect may
he he does not appear to advantage
in a coat that binds under the arms
II gives him an irritated look. Any
one who has dug a dress coat out o
the closet that he has not worn since
he read his graduation essay and at
tempts to put it on knows exactl,
how these marble statesmen feel.
Still. as has been pointed out, statt
ary hall has its uses. Aspiring cor
gressmen who pass through it ever,
day derive therefrom wholesom'
Christening effect such as could b.
conveyed in no other way except per
haps by the reversal of the majorit!
in their districts. Viewing thus thu

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Stockholders of

dend of So share on their holdings.
Though it is said that the forced
reduction in Pullman berths just put
into effect will lessen the company's
earnings by several million dollars
year it is not expected that the
annual $S dividend rate will be af-
fected. The company anticipates
that the increased business will
eventually more than make up for
the reduction in price.

wreck is removed it will cost more
than a half million dollars.
After two or three visits to the
scene the board of engineer officers
decided that the proper way to place
the wreck in such condition as to
make it possible to make a fair ex-
animation was by the construction of
huge cofferdam. A cofferdam will
be better understood by the laity by
the name of an improvised drydock.
The question whether the wreck
could be raised by cable, such as was
suggested by Major ORourke of the
O'Rourke Construction company of
New York was considered, but the en-
gineers came to the conclusion that
this method would damage the ship,
or at least change the hull so as to
impair the chances for an expert ex-
animation, so the cofferdam plan was
adopted.
The work on the cofferdam began
early in November, when the first
shipment of steel piling from the
Lackawanna Steel company arrived
in Cuba. 1t did not proceed far be-
fore there were innumerable Interrupt
tions.
Colonel Blacks report to the chief
engineers on the progress of the
work follows:
1t had been the earnest hope and
reasonable expectation of the board
that the cofferdom would be entirely
completed and unwatered by the end
of February, but, due to the excep-
tional causes detailed above and to
the subsequent unavoidable delays, it
now seems probable that, even if the
money holds out, it will be physical
ly impossible to complete this Golfer
dam ready for unwatering before
some date in March, 1911. AS some
indication of the work which the
board is doing it may be added that
the plant which it has been found
necessary to assemble in Havana har-
Dor at the site of the wreck is worth
at a very conservative estimate, not
less than $5O0,000, and on Decem
Der 81, 1910, there was employed in
connection with this work some 29C
men. The task before the board is
to place 1920 steel piles, each rs feel
long, so accurately as to interloch
J and form a continuous enciente o.
cylinders so feet in diameter, connect
: ed by auxiliary arcs of similar piling.
With at least half of the piling still
to sink and place, the board has bu
$55,000 with which to work. Estate
ment on December 3D. To complet,
the task at least $350,000 will b,

For Open Valley Treatment.
Il think the open valley treatment OF
Rock creek is the best Of all the plans
suggested. 1t IS cheaper than the plan
to fill up the valley, because of the i'm
mense cost of building sewer that will
carry the stream. And 1 think it will
afford valuable addition to the park
system of the National Capital"
During the discussion of the measure,
Senator Wetmore called attention to the
Importance of purchasing land in the near
future, because of the increasing number
Of improvements being made on the strip
bordering the creek and the consequent
value of the land and the increasing cost
of the entire project by reason of having
to buy the improvements. If the strip
is bought now. he said, few buildings will
have to be purchased, and not many of
them are of great value.
Senator Wetmore has talked with the
President and with others interested in
increasing the beauty of the National
Capital and he has found his project
generally approved.
