CULLOM IS ANXIOUS
TO PUSH MEMORIAL
Senator Wants Work on Lincoln
Project Settled Before He
Retires.

Senator Cullom, Of Illinois. the aged
veteran Of the Senate. and personal
friend OF Abraham Lincoln. makes an
appeal that the Lincoln memorial propo-
sition be settled before he retires from
office March I. and work be begun BE-
fore that time.
leagues support his resolution to ap-
prove the location In Washington which
the Lincoln Memorial Commission has
recommended upon which Is to be
erected a $c.0O0.O0O monument or other
work of art as a memorial TO the war
President. The site chosen 10 one In
Potomac Park.
One Of the difficulties In the way Of
such a memorial 10 that the plan for q
Lincoln highway has many supporters
in Congress. Senator Cullom will press
the proposition this winter. but an effort
will be made to substitute the highway
plan.
Senator Cullom knew Lincoln we'll and
came near studying law In Lincoin's
office.

LEADER UNDERWOOD
JURISPRUDENCE Of
LATE MAJOR Butt
Noted House Expected to
Become Rendezvous of
Democrats.

One Of the most interesting real q.
tate transactions Of the week In tho
purchase Of tho residence ae 800 q
street northwest, by Majority Leader
Underwood from the estate Of Major
Archibald Butt. who met tragic and
heroic death In the Titanic disaster.
The interest In the Transaction 10 not
10 much In the money value Of the
property, though this IL by no means
small. but the fact that since its
has always been ' owned S by b. = man S"o Of
great political prominence. There 10 a
further popularity in the history Of
the property. that each time II has
changed hands Il has been bought ~
II has been owned by both Republic
cans and Democrats. according to which
party was In power.
Visited BY Cleveland and Taft.
The house was originally built by Al
bert A. Wilson. United States marshall
for the District under the Cleveland Ad-
ministration. II IL known to be . fact
that President Cleveland seldom left
the White House for social events, but
il is also said that this house wa. VS.
tied BY him more frequently, perhaps.
than any other private residence IN the
city. TIE President and MarshaN WIZ
ron were CIObt DtTbOunl iGhoSs ohu $50
q nj rect residence grew to be a rendez-
vous for a select clan Of Democrats,
who were personal as well as po'it'cai
friends.
But the Republicans gained control.
and after remaining for several years
In the ownership Of minority support
er, the @ street house changed hands
and became the property OF the ilI.1ateo
Major Butt. aide to President TAT.
The close personal relations between the
President and Major Butt are wei!
known, and the former was present
many times at informal gatherings In
the home Of Major Butt.
Improvements In Progress.
There Is reason to believe the house
will be more famous than ever under
its new ownership. for no former owner
has been In 80 powerful position q
Mr.. Underwood. The convenience OF the
residence to the white House and Mr..
IInderwood's accustomed Informal nos
pitality will doubtless make the place
we'll known to leading Democrats.
Extensive improvements on the IN
terror are now in progress, and Mr..
| Underwood will move into the property
within a few weeks.
The transaction was made through the
office of william Corcoran Hill, with
| Allan +. Walker & Co. representing the
| Butt estate.
