American sculptor, was due to arrive
Sunday in New York from Italy, &C
cording to information furnished
Mayor Broening by Mrs. Lawrence
Turnbull. chairman OF the Edgar Allan
Pee Memorial Association. So far as

sociation had not heard whether the
bronze arrived on schedule.
The statue is to be shipped to Bal
timore Immediately upon arrival. II
has been presented to the city by the
association. The Municipal Art Com.
mission now is considering two sites
for it in the St. Paul street gardens

decided to wait until its members have
seen the exact size of the statue be-
fore passing on the site.
