an Italian resident OF this city and pub
Usher Of an italian newspaper here. Mr..
Rarsottrs statue OF Dante Ia something Of
a white elephant on his hands. for Il has
brought about a split in the italian colony.
The question is. Whether II IL nobler 10
rear n statue to Dante than not to rear one.
Yesterday morning the "antis' poured their
wrath into the ears Of Park Commissioner
Slower. They did not want Barsottrs
Dante 10 have a place on which to stand
Yesterday afternoon Barsotti and his fol-
lowers gave their side and Dante's side Of
the case.
The Park Commissioner told both fac
tons he was awrully busy and to come
back again. He wants them to fight Il
out. and then he will do his part OF finding

has his name In big letters on a number Of
Italian statues already. and he probably
wants to have II on tn" Dante statue.
There are also many other reasons why
they do not want IL erected
