NOW PLAN MONUMENTS
TO BEAUTlFY THE CANAL.
Architects Report Is Laid Before Con-
gress by the President.

President Wilson has Just sent to
congress report by the commission OF
fine arts outlining a plan for beautify-
ing the Panama canal. This includes
two monuments and impressive archi-
tectural features at the entrance.
Daniel G. French, a New York
sculptor, and Frederick Law Olmstead,
landscape architect of Boston, spent
two weeks on the isthmus, and the re
port submitted by the president is
based on their recommendations The
commission does not find the canal
construction work to be of architec-
tural beauty.
1.-THE entire absence of ornament and
no evidences Of the aesthetic"Nis one
of the phrases describing the work on
the canal. This, however the commits
sion admits was to be expected Of
work that was to be strictly for util-
ity"
Like the pyramids, it is impressive
because of its scale and simplicity"
observes the commission. Anything
done merely to beautify would have
been an impertinence in a work Of that
character
One important recommendation made
by the commission is for monument
at Culebra, where the canal passes
through the continental divide. 1t is
proposed that the monument be at
least 100 feet high and of greater
width. suitable for some inscription
that may be read from the otherkside
of the canal. The commission alsoNrec-
ommends monument at Gold hill, the
| highest point in the Culebra cut, and
some suitable structure in the form of
an archSat the point where the chan
mel from Limon bay ends and the canal
actually begins, and something similar
at the Pacific entrance.
A fringe Of trees rising from the
waters in Gatun lake is condemned
from an architectural viewpoint. Colo
mel Goethals said it would have been
too expensive to have removed the
trees.
The commission recommends an ad-
ditional lighthouse at the Atlantic en-
trance of the canal. The plan of the
shops at Balboa is condemned as un-
slightly, but this work has advanced so
far that a change in the plan is not
practical.
The commission approves the gen
eral plan for beautifying the Pacific
entrance to the canal.

Black Men Are Splendid Race,
Says Missionary.
WOMEN ARE SUFFRAGETTES.

Practiced, and Never by the Women.
Opposed to Conversion.
Daniel Crawford, Scotchman, who
lost himself in the heart of Africa for
twenty-three years and who recently
produced book called Thinking
Black" arrived in New York few
days ago. The missionary author is
a short man with sandy hair, beard
and mustache. He has sharp flashing
eyes and a manner of speaking rapidly
and with great emphasis
For twenty-three years." said Mr..
Crawford on his arrival, II never wore
n collar, never saw a train of cars and
hardly ever spoke to az white man. L
really feel more negro than white man.
A quarter of century ago / was a
young man. and | was dying of con-
sumption. l heard that the climate of
Africa would be good for my trouble,
and l went there as a missionary. l
struck into the heart of the country
alone and lived by my rifle.
Blacks a Magnificent Race.
81 found the black men in Africa
magnificent race" Mr.. Crawford con-
tinued. 81 settled among the Luban
tribes. There are about a million of
these people. They speak wonderful
language, which it took me years to
learn. There are twenty-three lenses
of the verb and the noun has nineteen
genders. l translated the Bible into
the Luban language and also wrote
grammar, which, incomplete though it
is, gives a pretty good idea of the
| tongue"
"Did you find any of these peoples
cannibals?" Mr.. Crawford was asked.
Every few" he replied, 'and it may
interest you to know that there is no
such thing as female cannibal. AL
though the men may eat human flesh
the women of the same tribe never do.
The women are further advanced than
the men and they band together to pro
tect themselves from man the mon
suffrage is probably stronger in Cen
tral Africa than anywhere in the
world"
Advised Against Conversion.
"And were you able to convert these
people to Christianity?'
"The tribesmen with whom l made
my residence were ready to profess
Christianity, but l ,dissuaded them
from it. They would have been but
nominal Christians, and l feared that
a change of faith would result in their
destruction. Unless you have seen
them as they are you can have but a
faint conception of these black men in
their natural state. The civilized
blacks have picked up all your vices
and few of your virtues. But the negro
under natural conditions possesses a
culture of his own. de has definite
and delightful code of etiquette"
Mr.. Crawford said that after his
visit to this country was over he would
return to Africa to live again among
the people with whom he has chosen
to spend the greater part of his life.
