Plea for Gettysburg Highway.

On the other hand, the supporters Of the
Gettysburg highway plan have sent their
literature widespread through the land
and have interested a number Of members
of Congress in the project. 1t Is their
aim to have Congress amend the act by
which $1,000, 900 was appropriated to erect
a memorial to Lincoln "in Washington y
SO that it may be possible to construct
the memorial outside of Washington and
increase the appropriation to cover the
expenses Of the proposed highway. Leslie
Of the organization which has been FORM
ed to advance the interests Of this plan.
He Is the son of James T. McCteary.
formerly a member of the House from
Minnesota, who was one Of the members
Of a commission appointed In 1905 by
Congress to travel abroad to obtain ideas
for a national Lincoln memorial. Mr..
McCleary during his travels became con-
WINGED that a great highway, similar to
the Appian way in Italy, which has en-
most fitting memorial that could be erect
ed to Abraham Lincoln.
Congress is being showered with letters
and petitions from individuals and organ
izations throughout the country favoring
one or the other Of these plans.
Urges Park Commission Plan.
Glenn Brown, speaking for the party
which is supporting the park commission
plan Tor the memorial. declared yester-
day that he was not working in the
interests of any particular design or
architect. but merely for the site. The
Mall site. he said, located on the banks
of the Potomac river, has the advantage
of ample space, with a superb outlook
over both river and city.
'"The park commission plan contem-
plates the construction of splendid me-
mortal bridge across the Potomac river.
from the site of the Lincoln memorial
to a point on the Virginia shore in front
Of Arlington, the national cemetery, and
we are heartily in favor Of the construc-
ton of this bridge" said Mr.. Brown. III
Congress can be- prevailed upon to In
crease the appropriation so as to permit
the construction Of this great bridge i'm
mediately, 1t will be an admirable course.
But in any event the appropriation now
made should be used to construct a mag
niticent memorial to Lincoln on the site
selected by the park commission in &C
cordance with the future development of
the city.
THE Lincoln memorial should by all
means be constructed in Washington
not In Maryland and Pennsylvania or any

Suffer Capture and Torture.
Wireless Men at Fee Make Brilliant
Fight, Finally One Of Them Shoot
ing Others and Himself.

Tangier, April 24.-The story to the
effect that the French photographers
at Fee were not killed by the Moors
but that they were killed by a com.
rade who afterwards committed sui
eide is confirmed.
The four men had one revolver be-
tween them, but they had plenty of
ammunition. They put up a brilliant
fight and had killed fifteen of the
Moors when the latter climbed on the
roof of the wireless building. They
bored hole through the roof and be-
gan pouring blazing oil on the floor be-
low. Seeing that their capture was in
evitable ard knowing the horrible fate
in store for them, the wireless men re-
solved to die. They drew lots to see
which one should use the revolver on
his comrades. The lot fell to one of
them named Rebout He immediate
ly shot his three comrades and then
turned the revolver on himself.
The wound did not prove fatal i'm
mediately and after the mutiny had
been put down Rebout was found by
the troops and taken to the hospital.
He was just able to finish his story at
the hospital hefc:c lie died.
