FIGHT IS PLANNED
AGAINST SITE FOR
LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Speaker Clark May Lead
House Opposition to Po-
tomac Park Selection.

Potomac Park has been decided
upon as the site for the S2,000,000
monument to be erected to the MEM
ory of Abraham Lincoln, the decision
having been reached at a meeting of
the Lincoln memorial commission
held at the White House yesterday,
and attended by President Taft,
Speaker Clark, Senator Cullom, Con-
gressman Cannon, and Congressman
McCaull Senator Wetmore and for
mer Senator Money were the abb
senttes.
Sueaker Clark, who favored the
project of a memorial in the nature
of a national highway from WASH
ington to Gettysburg, was opposed to
the Potomac Park site, and its Sc
lection by the commission came as a
surprise to those interested in the
other project. 1t had not been eX-
pectcd the decision upon the site
would be made for several weeks.
The commissions decision is not
final, however, as the site must be
approved by Congress and oppon-
ents declare the fight will be carried
into Congress. 1t Is expected Speaker
Clark will lead the opposition to Po-
tomac Park on the floor of the House,
and that he will insist upon the ma
tional highway, which he says is
more practical and which, in his
opinion, would be a greater honor to
the memory of the beloved states
man. The national highway also had
the support of automobilists from all
over the East.
Other sites under consideration were
the Soldiers Home and on Meridian
Hill. The vote by which the com
mission decided upon Potomac Park
was not announced.
The movement for a Lincoln me-
mortal was begun more than forty
years ago. In 1857 the National Lin
coin Monument Association was char
tered under an act of Congress, and
about 100000 is said to have been
collected. Interest in the matter
waned and little was heard of the
association until 1910, when an in
vestigation was instituted to deter
mine what had become Of the money
Nothing definite resulted from the in
vestigation.
Last year Congress authorized So.
100000 for the memorial, the larg.
est sum ever appropriated by Con.
gress for such project. 1t is eX.
pected the memorial will be the mos
magnificent in America.
Potomac Park was the site favored
by the Chamber of Commerce, and /
had many other supporters. TIL,
proposition to substitute the plan fo
national highway was Handicapped
because of the provision by Congress
that the memorial must be within tn
District. 1t Is possible this, provision
may be changed when the question
OF final approval comes before tn
House. thus giving the exponents o
the Washington to Gettysburg high
way a chance in the final say.

Cheaper gas, lower water rates, ade-
quate school funds, municipal asphat
plant, and the utilization Of Great Falls
power were the subjects that received
favorable consideration at the monthly
meeting of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, held at the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms, last night.
Reports of progress in the movements
for an effective public utilities commits
sion and reforms In the matter of max
ing appropriations for the District Of
fered an opportunity for Col. c. G. Ian
caster to make a vigorous speech on the
latter subject, attacking the Commits
sioners, especially Major Judson, for
alleged padding" of the estimates to the
detriment of needed appropriations.
The federation did not act on resolu-
ton presented by Mr.. Lancaster.
A committee was appointed to investl-
gate the "true consideration" bill now
pending in Congress, and which real
estate men are opposing. There was
opposition to the adoption of resolutions
protesting against the measure. Another
matter referred to a committee was the
question of restrictions being placed on
tL admission to the Chevy Chase, D..
c., schools of pupils from Maryland, 1t
being urged that the public schools are
overcrowded; and that the danger OF
contagious diseases becoming prevalent
is increased. as no quarantine regula-
tions exist Just outside the District.

D. A. Edwards. of the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association, presented the reso-

, light and power to the city of Washing
ton. He also made a speech urging its
adoption.
Some sections of the country have
been completely revolutlonized by the
utilization of water-power sites" he
said "This is especially true in rela-
tion to Niagara Falls, which extends its
| wonderful power $50 miles to Syracuse,
and to other cities within the same
radius. 1t has been estimated that
! Il, 900 horsepower could be produced
| and the ultimate maximum would be
| 80 900 at the Great Falls site, so there is
no reason in the world why this valu-
able power should remain idle"
| The resolution adopted was as fol-
| lows:
Resolved, by the Federation of Citi,
zens Associations, That we congratulate
the people of the District upon the re-
tention in the District appropriation bill
of the item of $4,000 for the investiga
tion by the Engineer Corps of the Unit
ed States Army as to the praCtlcabiIitN

An investigation into the complaints
regarding the poor quality of gas Is also
asked in the resolution presented by MIR.
Dyer. Relative to this phase of the sub
iect the measure said: I'VE desire in
passing to cali attention to the many
complaints to the poor quality of gas
furnished, and to ask that a thorough
investigation of this complaint be made
by the District Commissioned
Municipal Asphalt Plant.
James NJ. Wood, of the East End Sub
urban Citizens Association, urged the
adoption of the resolution relative to a
municipal asphalt plant, saying that he
had made a study of the subject and
found that other municipalities had
found the plants entirely practical and
highly economical. He cited Detroit and
| Indianapolis as cities having successful
asphalt plants. He predicted that thou
sands of dollars would be saved IL Com
plant. The resolution adopted referred
| to the fact that the chairman of the
| House District Committee mad an
| nounced that the item providing for the
project, struck out of the appropriation
bill upon a point of order, will be con-
| sidered by the House District Commit
| tee, and that a separate bill for the
plant will be recommended for passage
to the House.
On a motion by Mr.. Wood, a commit
tee was appointed to investigate the
question of Congress granting an in
| crease in wages to the street cleaning
| force. He pointed out that the presIh At
wage Is Sl.50 a day, the lowest paid In
| the country for the same work, and
that an increase to 81 a day is desired.
Wants Lower Rates.
| Lower water rates, and ultimately
free water was urged in a resolution
presented by Mr.. Lancaster, who repre-
sented the Northwest Suburban Citizens
Association. The resolution, which was
adopted, opposed the present plan OF
paying the expenses of the Water De-
partment exclusively by a tax upon the
use of water by the citizens, and urged
legislation putting it on the half-and.
half basis, as set forth in the act of 1878
Mr.. Lancaster declared there Is a senti.
ment among Congressman to reduce
rather than increase, the water rates
and that there will be absolutely ne
tax on water at some future date.

of the inside workings OF the gathering
Of evidence, and the trial later.
While, the ineffectiveness of our

being swept away by the courts them

judgment the chief cause Of this shame
full failure has not been the laws de-

SLAYER, TRAPPEDN
TUNNEL, ENDSLIFE
Section Foreman Kills Rival and Seeks Escape in Hoosac
Bore, But Posse Cuts Him OFF After Long
Search

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Feb. A.
Trapped like a hunted animal in the
black depths Of the Hoosac tunnel,
with an armed posse stationed at every
outlet, and scores of men with rifles
and torches securing every inch of the
hVe-mile bore, the search for Andrew
Cullom, foreman Of the section gang of
the Boston and Maine railroad, ended
at dawn this morning, when he was
found, a suicide.
About o'clock this morning the body
OF Assistant Foreman John Bellersini
was found near the entrance to the
tunnel by Frank Janger, a track walk
er. Investigation proved that he had
been murdered, three revolver shots hav-
ing passed through his heart, the empty
shells near by revealing that the MUIR
derer had stopped to reload his weapon
to prepare for pursuers.
1t was known that the murdered man
had a sworn enemy in Cullom, who was
foreman of the same section gang, and
was afraid that the assistant foreman
was going to succeed him.
Janger Immediately notified the police
and returned to the tunnel. AS he was
about to enter he discovered Cullom
facing him in the darkness with a
drawn revolver.
"I'll fill you full Of lead IL you set
foot inside this tunnel. Keep out"
threatened Cullom, land don't tell any
one that you saw me here, either"
Telephones Used.
Janger fed and again communicated
with the North Adams police. The tel
! ephone was brought into action and a
, squad of men sent to guard every pos
| sible outlet from the tunnel. Capt. p
| Eerron, of the local police, together
/ with Medical Examiner Barham, de-
! cded to dare the depths of the tunnel
| in a hand car, taking no lights with
| them. They called for volunteers,
! department to face death, and every
policeman displayed his willingness, and
| three of the best shots were selected
! II was known that Cullom was armed
| and that he was an expert marksman
| Shortly after 2 o'clock the party on
| the hand car shot at full speed into the
| hlaCkness of the tunnel. with the three
policemen working the handles and the
medical examiner and the captain
| straining their eyes for a glimpse ol
| the fugitive foreman.
| No Trace of Fugitive.
They emerged at the other end of Tho
tunnel, nearly five miles away, without
even hearing a shot, and decided tc
make the return trip at the same
speed, but carrying lanterns which
would illuminate the surroundings
Again discovering no sign of Cullom
