NATHAN HALE SHAFT FOR YALE
Long Standing Controversy Referred
to Memorial Committee.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. May 24.-The
proposition to erect a statue OF Nathan
Hale, a hero of the revolutionary war,
on the Yale campus has been referred by
the corporation to the committee on
memorials. The subject has long been
in an acute controversial stage. Eight
years or more ago Yale men were dis
cussing the question of erecting statue
and whether 1t should be modelled by st.
Gaudens or by Partridge.
Graduates actually raised funds for a
model by Partridge, but the corporation
refused assent. Since then st. Gaudens
has died and the Partridge model has
been withdrawn. The question comes be-
fore the corporation now on a proposition
for statue by Bella Pratt Of Boston,
with funds guaranteed by the graduates.

They Continue Journey.

Two vessels which unloaded lumber at
this city Tuesday ran ashore on the river
fats in the vicinity of the naval powder
magazine between this city and Alexan-
dria and stuck fast. The vessels, il is
stated, grounded on a falling tide, and in
spite OF the best efforts of the men
aboard them they remained on the mud
bank until late Wednesday afternoon.
when the tide made good and full and
the crews were able TO work them into
deep water. The river flats in the vicin-
ity of this city are but soft mud banks
and seldom damage vessels striking
them.

river men to indicate that they were not
damaged seriously. as in that event they
would have returned TO this city or stop
