THOUGHT COMMISSION
DIDN'T SPECIFY MARBLE
Secretary Garrison Declines to Make
Known Report Regarding Lin
coin Memorial, However.

Secretary Garrsan. who has just re-
to New York city, said this morning that
he had not yet taken action with re-
spect to the making of contracts for the
construction of the Lincoln Memorial in
this city. but expected to be able to ah-
nounce his decision in that matter this
afternoon. Until then, he said. he would
not give even the remoteSt indication OF
his probable course of action. He ad-
mitted that he had received the report
of the commission of fine arts on the
acter.
Notwithstanding the reticence OF all
parties conversant with the facts, there
is well defined Impression that the art
commission declined to commit itself to
the proposition that Colorado y ule marble
lis so -eminentiy and peculiarly ntted,
as compared with the other marbles sub
uitted as to be the only one meeting
the artistic requirements OF the Struc-
ture" Judgment to that effect would have
eliminated Georgia marble and marble
auarried in other states from furtAer
consideration in the building of the me-
mortal.
Under the impression that the art com
mission did not express an unqualified
preference for any particular type of
marble, the belief prevails in interested
quarters that Secretary Garrison viii re-
ject all the bids originally submitted and
call for new bids in which prices may
be given on one or more varieties OF
marble.
