NO BAR 10 LEE'S STATUE
President Taft Approves of Its
Remaining in Capitol.
MR. WICKERSHAM'S OPINION
Attorney General Says There
Can Be No Lawful Objection to
the Effigy in Statuary Hall.
Beverly. .Mass.. July 31. — President
Taft has approved, without comment, an
opinion by Attorney Genera] Wicker
sham to the effect that there is no pro
vision of law by which the statue of
General Robert E. Lee, in Confederate
uniform, can be removed from Statuary
Hall in the Capitol at Washington.
In addition to deriding the question on
a purely lf-gral basis. Mr. Wickersham
argues the matter from an ethical point
of view, declaring that Lee has come
to be regarded as typifying all that was
best in the cause to which he gave his
services and the most loyal and un
nruTTnuring acceptance of- the complete
overthrow of that cause. That the Stat"
of Virginia should designate him (or a
place In Statuary Hall a.s one illustrious

Attorney General declares*, i: ; but nat
ural, and warranted under the reading
of Th. "law.
Mr. Wickersham' opinion waa called
forth by protest to the President from
the Grand Army of the public, De

addressed to and approved by the Presi

I hav< read the resolutions idopted by
the Department of New York, Grand Army
of ill" Republic, at Syracuse on June -■.'.
and the communications of the Hon. James

July 2, 1864 referred to. provides for the
erection of suitable structures and railings
in the old hall of the Hous* of Representa
tives for the reception and protection of
statuary, which is to be under the super
vision and direction of the chief of en
gineers in charge of public buildings and
ground! and the statute tuthorizes the

DRUG VICTIM A SUICIDE
Seemingly Cured, Springs Into
River at Bellevue Hospital.
ATTACHES ATTEMPT RESCUE
Fellow Patient Who Tried to
Save Him Shaken Off After
a Struggle.
Pronounced cured of the morphine
habit, for which ho had sought treat
ment at Bellevue Hospital, and trans
ferred on Saturday to the convalescent
ward to recuperate, Frank C. Wiley
drowned himself yesterday, notwith
standing efforts to save his lifv by a
number of attaches of the hospital.
Wiley entered the hospital on July 26,
and mentioned as his best friend "Dr.
Arnold, No. 11S1 Broadway," a name
which does not appear in the director;'.
Ho told the physicians he was a victim
of the morphine habit and wanted to be
cured. "J U-^\ that T can still iii;:k>
good," he f-ani. ".f 1 can •■;•> : 'nak> this
accursed habit off." He waa gtveri lh<
usual treatment, ;<n<\. aided by hi;? own
determination to turn over a new leaf,
hia cure advanced rapidly.
Yesterday his manner of speech indi
cated remarkable clarity of mind for one
who h,i<! been addicted to the use of the
drug, and all morning h< strolled about
th<> grounds of the hospital.
He had his dinner ;<t the usual hour.
:ind then, accompanied by John K.
i, a nothi r patient, v alked about
the grounds again Together they sat
down on .i bench fating- the Easi River,
not far from where the Southfield is
moored, on tthi<'h open-air treatment is
administered to tuberculous patients.
It was about 2:30 o'clock, when tin
grounds of Bellevue are crowded with
convalescents and visitors. Suddenly
YVHej arose from his seat and nrawled
through the iron railing which runs along
the waterfront Lynch waa taken by
surprise, but sprang to his feel and
.a.igiit hold of Wile; . Tv silence and
unobserved the two men struggled for
•a mom< nt, when Wiley tore himself free
:cu! sprang into the water.
Then Lynch yelled. Close by sat John
Barry, a helper in the storerooms or the
hospital. .<nd Sarah Celesti, who is also
employed in the hospital, together with
John McGann, an ambulance driver, and
his wife.
As Lynch yelled Barry peeled off hia
coal and vaulted over the railing into
th river after Wiley, who. when he
struck the water, swam several strokes
and tli< n ducked und< r.
McGann ran to where the lifesaving
boat is moored, where he was joined l>y
Stewari Christie, and, catching hold of
th<- oars, began pulling i<> the r-'int
where he had last seen Wiley's head.
Barry had dived after Wiley and caught
him by the hair, dragging him to the
surface.
From the Stauthfield Joseph Miller, a
hospital attendant, *Jirew Harry a lif>
preserver, but by this time McGann had
brought the rowboat up close, and Barry
caughi hold of it with one hand, while
he held WBey with the other. McGann
and Christie pulled Wiley int.. tho boat
and Barry scrambled In after him.
The attendants carried Wiley to Ward
6 and every effort was made to save
his lit* : but bis hums had been ailed
with water, and in a few minutes he waa
pronounced dead.
Lynch said Wiley 'mil seemed iucld
while he was talking to him. and noth
ing that the man said gave an indication
that he contemplated suicide.
The dead man was forty-two years
old. He had given his occupation as
messenger, and No. 14 Ist street as his
home address.

MISS ETHEL CLAKE LEKEYE
AUTO'S GEAR SAVES BABY
Half a Block Under Machine,
Swinging 1 by Her Dress.
As Annie Westenburg, two years old,
was crossing the street In front of her
home. No. 1184 Fox street The Bronx,
yesterday afternoon, she fell directly in
the path of an automobile, driven !>y
William Wendelken. a garage owner. As
the tonneau passed over her the child's
stiffly starched frock was caught in the
steering gear, which lifted her and
swung her free of tho roadway.
Onlookers cried out with horror,
thinking the child had been killed.
Wendelken put on his brakes and shut
off the power, but th" car had gone half
a block before it came to a standstill
Then Wendelken, his face white with
fear, jumped out of the car. Hia relief
at finding the baby apparently unhurt
was so great that he laughed hysteri
cally.
Patrolman Hunt summoned an ambu
lance from the Lebanon Hospital, but the
only injury that Dr. Lieberman could
find was a laceration of the baby's riyht
hand.

ASTOR'S LATEST INVENTION
Patents and Releases Device for
Steamer Chair.
The August number of '"The Interna
tional inventor" contains a description
„;• Colonel John Jacob Aster's reeest in
ventlon u<v a steamer chair. This, the
seventh device patented bj Colanel Astnc
and released to tree use. j s described ai
follows:
"His device combines, by use of ■
vacuum cup. the movable chair with the
fixed chair. Chairs in steamer saloons
and cardfobiha are now screwed fast to
the deck. Persons of different propor
tions are either cramped because then
is not room enough between table and
chair or are inconvenienced because the
chair is too far away from the table. By
means of the vacuum, or suction cup. the
chair is almost as fixed as If bolted down,
yet can be moved at will."
