Richmond, Va, oct, 29.-Through
the nluniiicence of Thomas fortune
Ryan, Wall street iinancier the
plans for the mural decoration of
Memorial Hall, by which name the
south wing of the Confederate Mem
orial Institute, or Battle Abbey, is to
be known, are to reach fruition. Ry-
an has given j. Taylor EIlyson, lieu
tenant governor of Virginia and presi-
dent OF the Confederate Memorial AS
soctation. carte blanche to proceed
with the execution of the work, the
bills to be sent to him.
President Ellyson desires that. the
Battle Abbey shall be the most beau
tiful institution of it's kind in Aneri-
ca, 4 Among the ideas conceived by
him Was the mural decoration of Me-
tmorial Hall At the last reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans, al
Macon, Ga, his ideas were entlnsias-
tically approved, He appealed to
hundreds interested in the cause for
ggestions as to the manner Of rails
ing funds, but little Roadway was
made. Recently he mentioned to Ryan
in conversation the trouble he was ex-
periencing and the patriotic yirginian
then made his generous offer.
President Ellyson spent consider
able time thought and travel in his
quest, and finally awarded the com
mission to- Charles Hoffbauer a
French artist. Hoffbauer has made
a special study of military paintings
and has on exhibition in the saloons
of the Luxembourg and the Louvre
some splendid exhibitions of his art
The French government has given
him several important commissions ol
this nature, and 1Gliyson believes he
has found the right man for the
| splendid work to be achieved on the
Battle Abbey.
President Ellyson's idea, which has
! been approved by the artist, is tc

branches of the Confederate army
navy, infantry, artillery and cavalry
| The execution of these ideas win ht
Ilcft to the artist himself. 1t will re
quire eighteen months to complete thu
work, and the artists fee will bt
thirty thousand dollars, which vii
represent Ryan's contribution.
This is not all, however, that Ryar

A campaign for the preservation Of the

visory Committee. The campaign has the
Endorsement of Mayor Gaynor, according to
Mr.. Spencer.
The Parks Advisory Committee. its chair
man declared. was working with the Park
Board I'm common cause. Police Commits
sioner Waldo, the Board OF City Magis-
trates, the Board Of Education and the
Womens Municipal League are also In
cluded in the indorsers OF the plan to pro-
tect the parks from vandalism and TO help
bring them up to a high standard.
Park Commissioner Stovers administra-
ton was highly praised by Mr.. Spencer.
He said the present park administration
had been hampered by conditions handed
down by previous regimes. He declared
Commissioner Slower had done everything
h. could under such adverse circumstances.
Park Commissioner Stover was hampered
when he took office" said Mr. Spencer, by
certain conditions which were left by pre-
vious park administrations. II has taken
two years to get matters Strengthened out.
Besides there has been difficulty in getting
the Board OF Estimate to appropriate
money for needed improvements"
The efforts OF Captain McKeon OF the
Central Park police in rigidly enforcing
park ordinances were the cause Of praise
from the chairman Of the Mayors park
cabinet" He said Captain McKeon and his
men thoroughly understood the situation,
and were doing everything possible TO pro-

Fine Arts Federation Sends Pro-
test to Trinity Church.

4 renewal OF the rumors current lour
years ago that the destruction or 81 JoTh
Chapel was contemplated by the warcehs
and yestrymen Of Trinity Church brought
out a strong protest yesterday from the
Fine Arts Federation in the form OF an
open letter addressed to the rector and all
other officers. asserting that il such action
had been resolved upon ii was Trinltys
duty to the city to make the fact known
According to the information received py
the society," tho officers OF Trinity PARISH
have executed contract which calls Ior
the work OF demolishing the ancient chapei
to begin on June 1.
In IT'S letter the society called attention
TO the general protest at the time OF the
former agitation. In 1908, In which such
prominent men as Mayor Mcclellan, Joseph
II. Choate W. Bayard Cutting, j. Pierpont
Morgan John Bigelow, Edward Patterson
John S. Kennedy Charles F. McKim. Elinu
Root and others united in memorial IN
which they said the proposal to demoilsn
st. Johns Chapel had come as shock ana
surprise to the community. saddening the
hearts OF those who reverence the ancient
monuments Of our city and believed IN the
un,ifting mower of venerable traditions and
accumulated effort and the refining ana
cnnobling influence Of digni6ed and beauu-
full architecture
At the time the memorialists further
called attention to the fact that, by com
mon consent, st. Johns ranked second only
10 ST. Pauls Chapel and the City Hall
among New York's very few remaining
memorials OF the past.
At the time of the former protest, so the
officers OF the federation asserted, every
one connected with Trinity denied that
there was any intention to destroy the
building, and that IL such action should at
any time be contemplated the public would
be advised of It in advance. The federation
remarked that II was OF the opinion that
the danger which now menaces ST. johns
Chapel is unknown except to very Few
outside OF your vestry. and that no effort
has been made TO avert the danger or 10
call TO the defence OF the chapel public
sentiment. which made Itself heard so forci-
bly, before"
In closing. the federation formally pro-
tested against any destruction of the OLD
building, and submitted that the public
was entitled to know II any danger threat
ened the chapel either from the city or
from Trinity Parish.
