FOR GREEK TEMPLE IN
CLARA BART0N'S HONOR
Memorial Association Proposes to
Erect One in Capital by
Popular Subscription.

To the Editor Of The Star.
The Clara Barton National Memorial
Association, of which Mrs. John A.
poses to erect in this the Capital city
of the nation. by popular subscription,
memorial to the memory of the wom-
an who brought the Red Cross to the
United States, and in addition thereto
gave all the years of her life to its
upbuilding by relieving the stricken In
pestilence. famine, fire and food
The world has erected but few public
monuments to honor the life work of
women for humanity. and doubtless
New York city Is an index and average
of all cities of the world. There are
sixty-eight monuments in and adjoin-
ing New York, and of this number but
two represent women: one of these is
Joan of Arc and the other the Statue
of Liberty on Liberty Island, In the
harbor, which indicates how liberal
men have been in bestowing honors
upon women. but the fact that the
Statue of Liberty is that, of woman
enlightening the world is both a
promise and prophecy for the future.
Probably a Greek Temple.
Probably the memorial will take the
form of a Greek temple. for anything
less classic and imposing would be
unworthy of the great work that Clara
Barton performed: but whatever shape
it assumes, it should be not only
unique. but an object lesson to show
the world the progress that mercy has
made by making more humane the
dread scourge of war,
The interior of the temple might be
of a type expressive of the tender
pity. the exalted courage of woman:
by its mute appeal it should say to
the world that womans hand had
softened the shock of war and made
less piteous the wounds of hunger and
pestilence.
On the dome of this temple should
be placed a great electric searchlight
that each eventide would throw the
shadow of the cross ON the heavens,
that men beholding might not forget
her who created the substance out of
the shadow with the Red Cross for
her guidon. Thus the memorial to
Clara Barton would reach from earth
to heaven. and the world would be
the better that such as these had
lived and died" for it is the dead that
claim our warmest impulses. and Clara
Barton, though dead. will live for aye.

MARSHALL CONDUCT
Subcommittee of House Judiciary
Committee Would Postpone
Impeachment Case.

The official conduct of H. Snowden
Marshall. United States district attor-
Nney at New York. is, severely criticised
in a report which was agreed upon yes
terddy by a subcommittee of the House
judiciary committee which has been in
vestigating the impeachment charge
brought against Marshall by Repre-
sentative Buchanan of Illinois. The re-
port recommends. however. that further
action in the Impeachment proceedings
be indefinitely postponed. 1t will be
submitted to the full committee tomor-
row.
Inability to secure material evidence
on several of the charges and the fact
that important indictments. brought at
Mr.. Marshalls request. including those
against Rae Tanner. still are pending.
are given In the report as sufficient rea-
sons against further proceedings at this
time. Ratification of these recommended
tions would postpone action until the
Tanner case has been disposed of, at
least, and perhaps until Mr.. Marshalrs
term has expired. He also faces charges
of contempt of the House. however, be-
cause OF his attitude toward the SUBJ
committee. special committee report
recommending that he be censured is to
be taken up In the House Tuesday.

The subcommittee reached its agree
ment at long conference, after three
divergent reports had been submitted at
meeting of the full committee earlier
in the day. AS finally approved the
compromise report charges that the
district attorney wrongly took the
Tanner case out of the state courts and
into the federal court, so that he might
defend his friend. James W. Osborne. Ii

reprehensible way in the case of Os-
borne and in the indictment of Miss

1t also criticises his conduct in other
cases. but points out that with these
indictments pending. the subcommittee
has been refused access to the papers
before the grand jury and has been
unable to establish the facts
