FITZGERALD Is ALSO AROUSED

Senator Shelby Cullom, who has sought
for twenty years to have a magnificent
memorial to Abraham Lincoln built in
this city, is after the fine arts commits
sion because 1t is not acting upon the
various designs and propositions before
1t for such q memorial.
Il want to see this memorial built be-
fore / die said the Illinois statesman
who Is eighty-two years old, but still in
good health and active in his congression-
al duties.
Senator Cullom had conference with
President Taft about the alleged hardness
of the fine arts commission in not re-
porting some plan for. the proposed men,
orial. Mr.. Cullom induced the President
to write to the commission asking the
situation before that body and intimating
that the White House would appreciate
as early action as possible.
Many suggestions for a Lincoln me.
mortal have been made, some of them
to President Taft. He has referred
them to the fine arts commission.
Through the influence Of Senator Cullom
Congress some time ago appropriated
S2,000.000 for the memorial, and the
hitch now is simply one Of a fitting
design.

President Taft few days ago. He re-
ceived letter from J. Silas Harris OF the
negro National Educational Congress. with

Takes Shot at Architects.

Representative Fitzgerald, chairman
Of the House committee on appropri-
atoms, another White House caller to-
day, was also taking a shot at archi-
tects, having particular reference to the
proposed new building for the bureau
of engraving and printing, this city.
He said that members of this profess
sion are not satisfied with the plans
heretofore arranged for the bureau.
Director Ralph has been begging Con-
gress for years to give him more
facilities, and it is generally admitted
that he badly needs more room. Con-
gress finally gave him what Mr.. Fitz-
gerald considers a liberal appropria-
ton. but nothing has ever been done
Plans have been drawn and cast aside,
failing to suit somebody.
The last plans, after approval, were
found to be too extensive for the ap-
preparation, and the Treasury is asking
for more money. Mr.. Fitzgerald is not
disposed to grant more money. believing
that plans can be drawn to suit the APP
ton made to suit the plans. His criticism
exceedingly critical about air space. no
longer approving buildings containing a
central court and four sides.
For the bureau, he said, they now in
sist upon either gridiron-shaped build

Mr.. Fitzgerald will give a hearing to
Treasury officials and to Director Ralph,
who Is in sore straits how to carry on his
business with the present accommoda-
tons.

by the police. His wife later secured
his release about o'clock. About 2
o'clock he awoke his wife and told
her 20 close all the windows and doors,
that he feared something would hap
pen. She did so and he then became
violently crazy and an officer was
called. BY this time O'Brien had be-
come quiet and the policeman refused
to take hin; away.
They had left the house but short
time when he again became violent
Fearing he would harm herself and the
baby, Mrs. O'Brien took the child and
started down stairs. It was then he
tore the infant from her arme and
dashed out It's brains by hammerfng

One would suppose that powerful
searchlights would illuminate fields Of
battle best by night, In order to dis
cover and bring in the wounded. But
experiments in France prove to the
contrary. They are OF small benefit,
because the slightest obstruction-such
az a house or slight irregularity on
the earth's surface--will create a great
cone OF shadow, within which nothing
can be seen. The best device tried 30
far Is the individual acetylene lamp,

OF the hospital corps when going over
the field with their filters.
