Grants Tomb MAY Fall.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Reports that
the foundation of Grants tomb OH
Riverside Drive have been under
/ mined by water, and that the mag
nifcent mausoleum is in danger OF
collapse are to be thoroughly inyesti
gated by an official commission con-
sisting Of the chief engineer of the
New York park development board
Edward Miller, and John H. Duncan
architect of the tomb.
A report by Park Commissioner
Strover, just made public, calls at
tention to frequent crackings CT the
pavement around the tomb, the
breaking off of parts of the steps and
copings, and a noticeable settling of
the entire structure
The commissioner thinks the alarm
ing conditions are due to bad drain
age. He says:
THE tomb is not built on a rock,
according to persons who are in d po-
sition to know about its foundation,
but it rests on a sandy mound Rock
was touched only in one place TO- the
excavation for the tomb, and that was
at depth of 100 feet
For long time the drainage has
been very bad about the tomb, and
the question is whether the waite has
got under the foundations. The :rge
pieces of stone which have been
broken off in the copings are the re-
suit of the settling of the edifice.
Everything will be done to insure
it's safety, and if it is found ueces-
sary to strengthen it's foundations
that will be done a soon as it is pos
sible."
The cornerstone of the tomb was laid
in 1892 by President Harrison. It was
dedicated in 1898. General Horace
Porter is president of the Grant Nor
iment association, which butt the |
omb from the funds raised by the
many subscriptions.

Titled Women Quarrel Over Master

PARIS, May 9.-That man of u

apple of discord between two women
of the highest rank in society is
piquant news, even for the itching
ears of Paris.
1t is Robin, the most realistic sculp-

which causes this social upheaval
The two rival admirers OF Rodin and
Ibis workes are the Duchess de Choiseul
and an Intellectual French woman
whose breast has been decorated with
the palms of the Academy. The
Duchess de Choiseul is the former Miss
Coudert, daughter of the later Fred
erick R. Coudert of New York. Her
admiration goes so far that she en-
deavors to relieve the sculptor of all
thought of material things and all
household care so he can give UNI
divided attention to his art, in order
that his evening of life may be trait-
full in artistic works. The Duchess
does her utmost to keep out useless
and curious visitors and to shorten
the visits of the tedious.
While performing this duty i'll the
historic mansion which once be-
longed to the Marquis Contaut Biror
where Rodin is still installed, the
decorated French woman mentioned
made a last effort to see the master,
but the Duchess herself acted as
porter and appeared at the door. She

woman pleaded she was an old friend
