PLANS OF LINCOLN
MEMORIAL ON VIEW
Designs on Exhibition in the
National Museum. -

Two designs for the proposed Lin
coin Memorial were placed on public
view at the National Museum yester-
day.
The design Of Henry Bacon, archi-
tect, of New York contemplates the
E'construction of granite pile on. a
site in Potomac Park, and that of John
Russell Pope, architect, and Adolph A.
Weinman, sculptor, was prepared with
the idea of using a site at the Soldiers
Home. Both designs will remain on
view at the Museum until all persons
and societies which are interested in
seeing erected in Washington a fitting
tribute to Lincoln may have opportu-
nifty to inspect them.
The Pope plan contempIates the
erection in the Soldiers Home grounds
of a great open-air colonnade with a
statue of Lincoln in heroic size in the
center. The Bacon plan calls for the
creation of an artificial terrace total
ing twenty-seven feet in height above
the present ground level in Potomac
Park, on the top of which the archi-
tect would have placed a granite plat
form 2S1 feet long and 16S feet wide,
surmounted by a colonnade III feet
long and 10S feet wide.
Inside the colonnade Is the memorial
hall. which has a total height of SS
feet above finished grade, or 100 feet
above high-water mark in the Potomac
River. This design makes the memo
rial in the form of a monument SYM
bolizing the union of the United States
of America, inclosing in the walls OF
its sanctuary three memorials to the
man himself, one a statue of heroic
size, expressing his humane PERSONAL
ity: the others memorials of his two
great speeches-one of the Gettysburg
speech. the other of his second inaugu-
raj address. each with attendant sculp-
ture and painting, telling in allegory
of his splendid qualities evident in
those speeches.
In the oeS Scription which accompanied
the Bacon design II is stated that the
statue will occu9y the place Of honor a
position facing the entrance, which opens
toward the Capitol. This position is in
the central hall, separated by screens of
columns from the spaces at each side, in
each of which will be one of the other
memorials. Each of these three memo
rials will thus be secluded and isolated
and will exert its greatest influence.
by means of terraces, the ground at
the site in Potomac Park win be raised
until the same level is obtained as the
ground at the base of the Washington
Monument.

In this city during November buildings

This figure includes tbe new building for

'FLATFOOT' GUNNER
HIT WITH HAMMER
Two Marines Charged with
Assaulting Seaman.

Suffering from a fracture OF the skuI
inflicted with hammer, Z. r. Gillette,
a seaman gunner, stationed at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, was removed from his
home, 1853 l. street southeast yesterday
to the Naval Hospital, Ninth street and
Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Police
assert two marines assaulted Gillette late
Monday night while he was leaving the
house of a man named Mills at 1874 L
street southeast. The marines, A. ].
Doll and j. Shepherd. were locked up at
the navy yard and later turned over to
the Fifth precinct.
Bad feeling between the two marines
and Gillette Is said to have existed for
some time. because OF the application Of
the eplthet ''fiatfoot" to the seaman gun
ner by hia alleged assallants.
At the hospital Gil1ette said he woul0
rather have the police drop the matter.
Late last night physicians pronounced
his chances for recovery good.

HOUSE OF. MERCY
FIGURES IN SALE
Property Bought bySt. Steph-
ems Catholic Church.

With the announcement yesterday of
the sale of the former House of Mercy
property, located at Twenty-fourth and K
streets northwest, another chapter has
been added to the history of one of the
most unique institutions of this city.
This property, which was formerly
owned by a corporation known as the
Association for Works of Mercy, has
been purchased through the office of H.
L. Rust for ST Stephens Catholic Church,
Twenty-fifth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest. The price paid was
$19,5OO. L
The House OF Mercy, a three-story
structure, containing about sixteen
rooms was built about thirty years ago
for the purpose of providing a home for
incorrigible girls and for women in desti-
tute circumstances. 1t was occupied as
such until several months ago, when the
institution moved to its new home at
Kungle Ford road and Rosemont ave-
nue., adjoining Rock Creek Park. The
House of Mercy is an Episcopal institu-
ton, operated under the auspices of the
Episcopal Diocese of Washington.
Occupies Large Lot.
The property which figures in the sale
has a frontage of about 40 feet on X
street and about $50 feet in Twenty
fourth street The building formrely used
as the House of Mercy occupies one cor
ner of the lot. the remainder being used
as a park or garden. The entire property
is surrounded by high brick wall.
During the thirty or more years it was
used as a house OF refuge, hundreds of
women and girls were cared for in this
unique institution. 1t was open to every
one, and the life within its walls was
responsible for the reformation of scores
of incorrigible girls and women.
Just what use to which the old build
ing will be placed, now that 1t has
changed owners, has nOt yet been an
nounced, but it is understood that 1t may
be used for parish hall. For several
years st. Stephens Church had been
contemplating purchasing a site for this
purpose on the north side of K street,
between Twenty-ffth and Twenty-sixth
streets. The House of Mercy site is
much better suited for such a purpose
because of its shape and size and loca-
ton. 1t is just across the street from
ST. Anne's Infant Asylum.
Last night Rev. Joseph Cassidy, pastor
of st. Stephens Church, said that while
the property would be used for a church
building, he was yet unable to make
more definite announcement regarding
the, nature Of the proposed structure.

FOR SCENT FARE TO C0NEY
Service Board Hears Witnesses
and Takes Adjournment.

After several persons had given testimony
before the Public Service Commission yes
terday regarding the proposed reduction of
fares on the various trolley and rapid tran
sit lines TO Coney Island during certain
hours. Commissioner McCarroll remarked
that II did not appear needful to call a
multitude of witnesses TO say that a five
cent fare would be a good thing. The one
question was whether or not IT would be
proper 10 order the companies to reduce
the fare
The Commissioner expects 20 put in testi-
mony regarding the valuation of the prop
erty Of the companies. including all addi-
tions. since the previous proceeding. He re-
marked after an adjournment had been
taken 10 December that he did not think
there need be any great delay in bringing
the proceedings to an end.
The large hearing room was filed when
the proceedings began.
J. A. Rogers. OF counsel TO the commits
sion. said that during August more than
.733. 900 extra fares had been paid, and he
thought that ought TO give a clew to the
number Of Coney Island ten-cent fares.
George u. Yeomans. Of counsel TO the com
panies. objected TO the line OF questioning
which Mr. Rogers based on the figures
stated.
During the course Of the proceeding Com
missioner Eustis remarked that he thought
a lot Of trouble could be saved by moving
the second fare point on 10 the ocean. At
this there were loud cheers.
