MEMORIAL AT
 GRAND CANYON
Altar Erected by Interior Department
 to hiemory of Major Powell.
DEDICATION NEXT SPRING
Secretary Lane to Conduct Ceremony in Homer of Celebrated Scientist
 Who First Explored Grand Canyon

1 WASHINGTON, Jan. 5--Announce- ment is made today that the Depart ment of the Interior has completed, on the rim of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, a memorial to Maj. John Wesley Powell, the intrepid pioneer and celebrated scientist who first ex- plored the Grand Canyon. The me morial is an altar decorated in Indian imagery and supporting bronze tab ! let, resting upon a pyramidal base of rough-hewn stone. Fifteen steps lead from the west up to the altar floor, from which one may gaze into the very heart of the glowing mile-deep canyon. It is a structure worthy alike of the rugged, forceful person ality of the man and of the titanic chasm which it overlooks.
 The spot chosen for the memorial is Sentinel Point, promontory south of the railway station, which commands a particularly fine view of the Granite Gorge and of the river, whose unknown lterrors of whirlpool and cataract the Powell aprty braved in small open boats. The structure, which is built of weathered limestone from the lneighborhood, has a rectangular base 21 by 2S. feet. The altar carries on it's east side a medallion portrait of Maj. Powell in bronze bas-relief by Leila Usher and the following in scription:
 Erected by the Congress of the United States to Maj. John Wesley Canyon, who descended the river with
 lis party in rowboats, trayersing the
 gorge beneath this point August IT.,
 1869, and again September 1, 1872. '"
 The Dedication Ceremonies
 The general effect is unobtrusive,
 natural, and appropriate. A few
 small, gnarled trees grow close by,
 but do not obstruct the view. The
 structure stands back from the edge
 sufficiently to permit visitors. in con-
 siderable numbers to group them |, selves in front.

PERSONAL USE CASE SOON T0
 BE DECIDED
Gan Liquor Be Imported Into the
 State for Individual Consumption? Aczona Joines in Brief U. S. Supreme Court to Define Webb-Kenyon Act.

TUCSON, Jan. 5.-Whether the im- portation of liquor into Arizona for personal use'' is in violation of the Arizona state prohibition law is to be definitely decided soon by the state su preme court
 Attorney General Wiley Jones has filed forty eight page brief in the w. J. Sturgeon personal use" case TOW pending before the state supreme court. Jones contends that it cannot be imported or shipped in for personal iuae. s When the case comes up for argu- Iment he will be assisted by not only his two assistants, Leslie Hardy and George Harben, but also by Attorneys John H. Campbell and s. L.. Kingan, both of Tucson.
 The brief just filed by the attorney general is in the case which Sturgeon appealed from the judgment of the Yuma county superior court, which i'm posed a sixty-day jail sentence and a $70 fine for bringing quart of wine into Arizona. q
 Surgeons is the third personal use" case to come before the su- pre,ne court since the state went dry a year ago. In the other two the prohibition law was upheld in one and not upheld in the other by the lower court. 7G
 The case wherein the amendment was sustained was that against Will liam Stansbury in Cochise county, where Judge Lockwood ruled that liquor cannot be imported for per sonal use," his ruling being practical ly the same as that made by Judge Baxter at Yuma in the Sturgeon case.
 The superior. court judge who has ruled that liquor can be brought into the state for personal use is Judge Walter Shute of Gila county, who made the ruling in the case of Jap anese.
 It is understood that all three of the personal use" cases will be consid- cred together so that a decision will be reached shortly that will finally and definitely settle the question.
 Attorney General Jones has sent copies of the brief in the Sturgeon case which he has filed in the Su- preme Court to all county attorneys of Arizona and to attorney generals of various states.
 Attorney General Jones has accept ed an invitation from attorney gen. erals of various southern dry states ] to join in preparing brief to be filed in the United States supreme court, the brief to contend that the Webb Kenyon law is valid and that the states, under the fourteenth amend ment to the federal constitution and under the due process" clause
 of state constitutions, have a right to prohibit or limit the receipt and possession of liquors of personal use.
 Jones is joining in with the attorney
 generals of Mississippi, Tennessee and other southern states in prepar-
 ing the brief because Arizona is deep ly interested in the personal use' question.

REPUBLICANS TABLE
ANTI.T. r. RESOLUTION
Club Refuses to Go on Record
for Tried Party Man.

The Republican Club, at its meeting
last night, refused to go on record as
opposed to the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt By tabling a resolution,
whose object was to place the club
against the Colonel's selection by the
Chicago Convention. The club is com
posed Of representative Republicans OF
the city, state and nation, and its ac-
tion at the meeting last night was re-
garded as most significant.
A. A. Harris introduced the resolu-
ton, which in part read that the club
would support only tried Republican
rs the nominee of the Chicago Conven-
ton. Colonel Roosevelt's name was
not mentioned in the resolution, but
It's supporters did not conceal the fact
that IL was aimed at him. II was said
that the vote By which the resolution
was tabled was 81 70 80.
Al least ten members OF the club op-
posed the resolution on the ground
that IL was the duty of the organiza-
tion 10 support the candidate named
at Chicago and not TO nominate him.
W. W. Bonynge and several others op-
posed she resolution. W. H. Lehmaier
led its supporters.
James r. Sheffield, president of the
club, presided. Mr.. Sheffield is one OF
the delegates TO the convention who re-
Gently signed the Root petition. An
attempt TO bring about the adoption of
substitute resolutions also failed

COLONEL TO INVADE
DETROIT ON FRIDAY
Americanism His Only Ammuni-
ton for Trip to Ford's City.

Plans for Colonel Roosevelt's inva-
sion of Detroit, the home of Henry
Ford, were completed yesterday. The
Colonels only ammunition will be
Americanism, and the committee OF De-
troiters which invited him expects his
visit to show that the citizens Of the
Michigan metropolis are not for peace
at any price, even if Mr.. Ford was
successful in the primaries.
The group that persuaded Mr.. Roose-
welt to 90 to Detroit is made up OF
stand-pat Republicans, Democrats and
Progressives, all of whom have sub
ordinated partisanship to the one big
issue of Americanism.
Mr.. Roosevelt will leave this city at
5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Arriy-
ing in Detroit the next morning he
will speak at the Opera House at II
o'clock. This will be public meet

WEST SIDE REPORT OPPOSED
Civic Organizations Say II Does Not
Meet Their Objections.


Representatives OF civic organlza'
tions opposed to the present plan Tor
the West Side improvement and re-
location Of the New York Central Rail-
road tracks met yesterday and decided
that the supplemental report Of the
Board of Estimates port and terminal
committee, replying to the criticisms
raised at the public hearings, failed TO
meet any Of the objections. DR.. John
p. Peters, chairman of the conference,
said:
mo account has been taken OF the
great franchise value of the additional
license TO run tracks over the city
streets and other public property. IL
is quite evident from the report that
the city will be put to large additional
EXPENSE in completing the park I'M
provement in Riverside Park. why
should il not receive compensation Tor
the valuable franchise rights 1t pro-
poses to grant
DR.. Peters further stated that no
ADEQUATE reason was given for alienat-
ing part of the city's waterfront.
ave think the public has not had an
adequate opportunity TO consider these
objections" said DR.. Peters, land we
think more time should be taken be-
fore the report of the port and ter
minal committee comes up for hnal &C
ton before the Board of Estimate.

MORE PLAY STREETS
PROPOSED BY WOODS
Survey Being Made of Crowded
District South of 18th Street.

Police Commissioner Woods Will
commence to-day a survey of the city's
congested districts with the idea of in
creasing the number of thoroughfares
to be closed to traffic as children's
play streets during the summer.
Figures collected by the Police De-
partment show the need Of more play
streets in these districts. Fifteen per
cent of Greater New York's population
lives below Fourteenth Street on Man
haitian, while in this district there is
only one-ninth of one per cent of the
city's park area. Nineteen per cent OF
those accidentally killed or injured and
20 per cent of the children arrested
for juvenile delinquency live in this
district.
There seems no reason why at least
100 streets should not De used for chill
dren's play grounds this summer"
Woods said yesterday. There are j..
0l6,520 children between the ages or
five and fifteen in New York City, but
there are recreation facilities for only
about third that number"

'G.O.P.NEEDST.R.
TO CARRY SENATE
Nomination of Colonel
Would Swing Four
Doubtful States.

"If Theodore Roosevelt is nominated
by the Republican National Convention
at Chicago il will mean the election OF
a Republican Senate this fall. At least
four states which are now in doubt
would be brought into the Republican
column, thus insuring Republican
majority in the upper branch of Con-
gress. The importance of this can be
CLEANED from the fact that industrial
preparedness in the form of a protec-
tive tariff will be one of the vital is
sues OF the campaign. A protective
tariff under Democratic rule is out Of
the question"
This statement was made yesterday
by a we'll known Progressive leader,
who produced facts and figures to show
that the election of a Republican SEN
ate is of the utmost Importance to the
manufacturers and workingmens of the
country il a food of importations at
the end of the war is to be prevented.
The United States Senate at present
is composed OF forty Republicans and
fifty-six Democrats. To gain control
the Republicans have got to capture
the seats occupied by not less than
nine Democrats, in addition to holding
those seats now held by Republicans.
Next fall successors 10 eighteen Demo-
catic and fifteen Republican Senators
will be chosen.
Republican leaders believe that Re
publicans will succeed Democrats in
New York, New Jersey, Ohio. Maine,
West Virginia and Montana, and that
there is a fighting chance to replace
Democrats with Republicans in lndi-
ana, where two Senators are to be
chosen; Missouri, Arizona and Nevada.
They also believe there is chance OF
defeating Senator Hitchcock in Ne
braska, because of the Bryan feud.
With Colonel Roosevelt as the nomi-
nee of the Republican convention, how
ever, Progressive leaders believe that
all of the doubtful states would be
transferred to the Republican column.
| In the case of Nevada, for instance, il
was pointed out that while Mr. Roose-
Welt was President that state was rep
resented by at least one Republican
Senator, instead of two Democrats as
at present.
While Republican leaders count on
the return of the fifteen Republican
Senators next fall, conditions in Wis
consin and Wyoming are not as encour-
aging as they would like them to be.
Senator La Toilette comes up for re-
election in Wisconsin, and unless there
is peace between the factions there
they fear a repetition of the election
Of two years ago, when q Democratic
Senator was chosen.
