PRESIDENT FAVORS
BUYING MONTICELLO
lndorses Plan to Purchase Jer.
ferson's Home in Letters to
Democratic Leaders.

President Wilson has written letters
to Senator John W. Kern OF Indiana.
and Congressman oscar w. Underwood
Of Alabama, Democratic leaders Of the
Senate and House respectively, warmly
indorsing the resolution providing tor
the purchase by the Government of
Monticello Thomas Jefferson's home
near Charlottesville, Va.
The historic place Is at present owned
BY Congressman Jefferson Levy Of New
York. who. long resisted efforts to on
him to sell the place to the Government
Finally. however, at the instance OF
Secretary Of State Bryan he agreed to
tee. jprodives that commission co<
sistins Of the President. and several
members from each house shall negoti-
;ate ate with Mr.. Levy for the purchase. al
will be that fixed by MIR. Levy. The
resolution also provides for the naming
ot . permanent commission to take
charge OF the place:
The Presidents letter to Senator Kern
reads as follows:
| am told that there is a resolution
now pending before both houses of
congress for the purchase Of Monticel-
10. the home of Mr.. jefferson, and that
pack OF 1t lies very strong sentiment
In both houses. Certainly. my own in
terest in It is very deep and very sin
cere. I most earnestly hope that there
VIII be some interval in the business of
the Senate which can be used for the
passage Of this most interesting piece
OF legislation, which. think will meet
the approval Of the whole nation.
Cordially and sincerely. yours
WOODROW WILSON.
Despite the desire of the President to
have the Monticello purchase go through
at this session, there is some doubt that
the measure will be called up in the
House. Congressman Hay, author Of
the bill, said today that he was not GER
tain that enough votes could be muster
ed. and he suggested that the measure
might go over for the session.
House leaders are afraid tht the con-
dition of the Treasury at this time would
lose the bill many votes, members hesi-
1ating to vote the appropriation Of $780,
900 for a project which is not considered
an emergency one.
There Is a growing feeling about the
bouse that the friends Of the legislat ton
will be forced to abandon il for the
present. 1t is also learned that some Of
the opponents Of the bill are preparing
TO attack the $500,oOO appropriation as
excessive. and are collecting figures to
show that the Monticello roperty is not
taxed at anything like that sum.
