he'll come. It's n long. sad tale, my
mates, but here's the brief of IL: Mrs,
Angelina Crane, who died in 1904. left
f53,0OO for the statue. Relati yes con-
tested her Will. In 1909 the city won.
added $1,000. and gave MacMennies
The commission. In 1912 the alder
men voted the site for a statue TO
Thomas Jefferson. for which provision
had been made In the will of Joseph
&C. "" and the sculptor, then In Paris,
was prodded. In 1915 he re-
turned TO New York. bringing with
him models for "CivIc Virtue"
But the environment of City Hall
park had changed. The sculptor de-
rided, In view OF actual and prospec-
tive changes. that a heroic marble
statue should take the place of the
bronze one for which he had contract
ed. He volunteered to make the
change at his own expense. The mu-
nicipal art commission rejected his
first design. but accepted his second.
The statue surpasses IN bulk
everything Of Its kind except Michel
angeles David" II rs made of a
solid block of Georgia marble and
weighs So tons. The figure looms IL
feet high and with the sirens and the
pedestal the height above the pave
ment is 10 feet. Here Is the sculp-
tors own description OF his statue:
Il selected the figure of a youth. as
best exemplifying the spirit which
should preside over a citadel Of civic
activity. In the composition OF the
lines of the figure in the posture
used a system of lines which are un-
complicated and direct In their sug-
gestion so that he would seem to be
concentrated with single-minded en-
orgy on one purpose-to stand upright
and hold up the sword of law. As a
secondary action. hc Is freeing himself
almost unconsciously from the snares
thrown about him. They are drop
ping away from him without much
effort on his part. He looks ont into
the distance SO concentrated on his
great ideal that he does not even see
the temptation.
ITO suggest this temptation Its dual
nature which dazzles while IL en-
snares, it's charm and insinuafing dan
