HISTORY IN STATUARY.
Mrs. J. B. Samuel Leaves $500, 900
for Work in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, December ia row
Of statuary, representing the history of
America from its discovery by Columbus
until the present day, will soon be placed
along the east bank of the Schuylkill
river in Paramount Park. This symbolic
representation Of the nations history was
made possible by a provision in the will
of the late Mrs. ]. Bunford Samuel, who
left 100000 for the work. The Fair
mount Art Association announced yester-
day that it had accepted the gift and
that arrangements with the park COM
mission had been made to permit the
erection of statues
There were no restrictions in the will
upon the subjects except that they shall
represent scenes of American history.
Some Of those considered most likely to
be decided upon are Columbus discovering
America. the landing of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs, William Penn Treating with the
Indians, Washington at Valley Forge, the
Battle of Lake Erie, Lincoln Freeing the
Slaves and the Battle of Santiago.
1t is expected that work on the erection
of the statuary will start next spring.

DEFENSE THEORY ANNOUNCED.
Conflicting Evidence in Turner Muir
der Case Causes Much Speculation.

TOMS RIVER. y. j.. December 19.-In-
terest In the Moriarity murder trial in
creased today as the time approached for
the defense to reveal its theory. The
fact that the prisoner, Joseph Moriarity.
alias William j. Leehan. has the aid OF a
prominent Lakewood family supported
the rumor that the attorneys retained by
his wealthy hackers would present some
unexpected evidence to prove that he had
no part In the killing of Mrs. Caroline c.
Turner.
There is conflicting evidence as to the
cause of Mrs. Turner's death The body
was found with the face buried in the
sand, and wounds on the face and head
that might have been caused by the
blows of a heavy club. Death, IL is con-
tended, might have resulted either from
the blows or from suffocation.
Court was in session until 10 O'Clock
last night and this morning the prosecu-
ton resumed its evidence.
TOMS RIVER, n. j.. December 49,
Mrs. Turner was either killed in an auto
mobile accident or murdered b. persons

CUBA SEEKS W0RKMEN.
Offers Inducements to Those Now
EMPLOYED on Canal Zone.

Steps have been taken by the govern
ment of Cuba to attract to that island
large numbers of European workmen
now emp. oyed on the Panama canal, but
for whom there will soon be no work.
The Cuban representative in Panama has
been instructed to urge such laborers to
go to Cuba. Their legitimate expenses
will be paid by that government and
steamship companies will receive bonus
of So for each such emigrant taken to
Cuba. No one will be accepted, however,
unless he is in good health and his rec
ord on the isthmus is satisfactory
The present sugar cane acreage OF
Cuba is about 1,0uu,UOO, and 1t is pecom-
ing apparent that the annual transient
Immigration from Spain and the Canary
Islands, added to that drawn from the
West Indies, will not be sufficient to
provide the labor necessary To cut the
cane and provide for the constantly in
creasing capacity of the mills. A great
deal of the cane of Cuba was left uncut
in the latest season, and 1t is stated
that many of the mills would have
ground much more than they did but for
the scarcity OF labor.

NO UNIVERSAL STABILIZER.
Transformation of Aeroplane Still in
Future, Saws Orville Wright.

NEW YORK, December 19.-The trans

universal stabilizer, the dream of many
aviators. is still far from accomplishment.
according to Orville Wright, who spoke
last night at a reception given in his
honor by the Aeronautical Society.
Mr. Wright's statement, while ii is en-
couraging, doeos not hold out any hopes
of a perfect stabilizer in the near future.
Here is what he said:
1T is premature to say anything at
present about a Stabilizer. We have
worked for years to take the work OF
managing the machine out of the hands
of man and let the operator attend to the
steering alone. We think We have de-
vice which will accomplish this. 1t Will
take care of the collateral and fore and
aft planes, but ii still has few mechan-
ical troubles to overcome.
