SHRINES TO BE WITHHELD
Money Never Actually Granted,
War Department Finds.

Congress passed an act at the re-
cent session authorizing an ap-
preparation of $1,000 for the erection
of tablets or other forms of me-
MORALS in the city of Quincy, Mass,
in memory of John Adams and John
Quincy Adams, former Presidents of
the United States. The act provided
that the money so authorized" should
be expended under the direction of
the Secretary of War. Inquiry in
stituted by Col. Dwight Davis. Acting
Secretary of War, disclosed that the
money never was actually appropri-
ated. Execution of the provisions of
the act, therefore, must be delayed,
he holds, until Congress specifically
appropriates the money authorized
for the project.
