Wide latitude was given by the com?
mittee to competing architects, and
beyond a few general hints, and the
restrictions Imposed by the rules ol
the American Institute ?>f Architects,
competitors were left to work out tho
problem in the way that seemed to
them best.
The plot of ground on which the
Memorial Institute Is to lie erected has
u frontage of ST!' feet on the Boule?

The building will face approximately

While the work of the executive
committee of the Confederate Memo?

problems .vet to be met and conquered,
there is a feeling of relief that a long

] t has been a far cry from the incep?

morial, to perpetuate the deeds and
memories of the heroes of the s'xtles,

DIPLOMATS AFFECTED ALSO
Senate lias Opposed idea Be?
cause of Its Desire to Con?
trol Patronage.
Washington, D. C, January 23.?
With a humbi r of measures on the
President's legislative) program failing
by the wayside for lack of lime for
enactment at this session, the admin?
istration Is m iking an earnest effort I
to push through Congress immediately j
a bill looking to the application of the
rules of the civil service in both the
consular and diplomatic services. The
plans of the administration are embod?
ied in a hill introduced by Representa?
tive Lov.'flon. of Illinois, and in sup?
port of the measure. Secretary of State
Khox and Director of the Consular Ser?
vice iVilbnr J. Carr have written to
members of the llouso Committed on
Foreign Affairs, strongly commending
it.
An otU] feature pt the situation is
that, except for certain increases o!
salary for theodiplomatic secretaries,
the changes proposed in the hill are
already temporarily in force under an
executive order, in fact, the consular1
sorvice has been run practically on the
desired lines fur four years, while
since November 26, 1909, the same reg?
ulations nave applied to diplomatic ap?
pointments.
Several hills In recent years have
boon Introduced to give legal sanction
to the executive orders, but always
they have failed of passage through
the jealous watchfulness of the Senate.
Now Mr. I.owden has evolved a measure
which will practically insure the same
results, hut which does not legislate
away any of tin functions of the Sen?
ate, and the administration hopes that
it will pass. Only in this way does
th.' administration believe thai the
I.consular and diplomatic services .an
be kept permanently from dropping
back into the old political system.
Th. I...udeii measure varies from
other bills el' a similar sort In that it
does not say that appointments shall be
made only for merit or only after
?ilt ible civil service examinations. It
imply directs that examinations shall
? . held! that the President shall bo
:p formed of the-results, with a list of
persons shown to be eligible for ap?
pointment in the first place, or for pro
notion in the second, und that the Sec?
retary ?f State shall publish along with
such lists a table of the comparative
representation of Slates.
As the list of eligibles for promotion
or appointment would be made publjc
; it would be almost incumbent upon the
; President In bis appointments to be
' guided by It , and political appoint?
ments, il Is believed, would become
Impossible.
In addition to this regulation. IhO
Lowderi measure proposes an increased
salary list for secretaries p fembassici
! and legations. AI present it is recog?
nized that the under-membors of the
diplomatic corps are not expected to
. five en their salaries, any more than Is
in ambassador at it Kuropcnii court.
These salaries run down as low as
[*00 a year, and the petTillng Wfl raises
iVis limit in f l.'JOA, carrying the hlgh
st salary- that for a secretary of em?
bassy?up to $3,000. This increase In
-.alary is expected to widen the list ol
eligibles, as mine men of small means
would he able to enter the service.

REPLIES TO CHARGES

Senator Leaner Brands as False All Statements
That "Slush" Fund Was Raised?Declares
Political Enemies Responsible. ?
[.Special to The Times-Dispatch.] .
Norfolk, Va., January ?Scnatoi J
John A. Losner to-night, in a statement I
replying to the charges of his b rot hei I
that ;t "slush" fund was raised In Nor- j
folk county lor the registration pi }
voters, brands as unqualifiedly talsii j
all statements to this effect, and de?
clares that tho attack was fathered
and made through the conspiracy ot j
two of his political enemies, A. C. |
Cromwol?, sheriff of Norfolk county,,
and K. A. Blllsoly, leader of the recent
reform movement in Norfolk.
Senator Losner does not inlnco words
in his statement, but declares that It Is
?dirty" political work on the part ot
his enemies. Tho statement admits
that there was a meeting of political
leaders, opposed to prohibition, that a j
subscription list was started, and funds i
secured for the light. That a number
of men in the county and city, as well j
as breweries and saloon men eon tri

order was pressed and sustained,
OuiulhiiN ClainiH Hill Killed.
Washington, January _'3.?The Demo?
cratic Sixty-second Congress will ho
charged up with an extra $3,000,000
appropriation for war claims as the
result of the action of the House Com?
mittee on Claims to-day in killing tho
omnibus claims hill for this Congress.
The bill, which already had passed the
Senate, is largely made tip of claims ?
troth the South on account of depredti- j
lions during the Civil War, and there
are many provisions in it for In- :
dlviduuls.
When the bill, which President Taft
had urged strongly, reached the House
the Claims Committee appointed a sub- !
committee to inquire into the whole!
question, and they delved into a mass j
of historical details. The full com- i
m it tee to-day decided to postpone In- ?
definitely any action on the measure,
the announced explanation being that ?
tin- calendar <>i the Mouse already
was full, and that there were many
more measures pending than possibly
could he put through at this session.
' Chairman Prince, of tho committee,
stated there was no antagonism to
the measure but that it was Imprac?
tical.1,- to loud the calendar further.
'The additi.-n of about $800,000 for
French spoliation claims by the sub?
committee caused a lively session in
the commit tec, and finally defeated
tho proposed legislation.
The Democratic members contended
that If the French spoliation claims
were to be taken care of that should
have been done long ago, instead of
saddling them onto this generation.
On an aA-e and no vole the entire bill
went down to defeat.
The Democrats say the bill will be
passed in the next Congress with the
French Spoliation amendment elimi?
nated.

sisted that Phillips ought to "do some?

Mrs. Caroline Fervert, Phlllips's sis?

David Graham Phillips was born in

Mr. Phillips did most of his writing

Harry Oelrichs Suspended for Six
Months by Exclusive
Organization.
New York, January 23,?Harry H
Oelrichs, nephew oC Mrs. Hermann Oel?
richs. lias been suspended by the Union
Club, one of the most exclusive social
organizations in ibis olty. for sl>
mouths for engaging in a fist tight
with Walter KIngsland, of Paris, who
is passing the winter here and who
is a member of the club. Kingslano
continues to enjoy the privileges of t.hu
club. That is construed to mean its
members regard young Oelrichs tho
aggressor.
The place of the encounter that was
attended by such disastrous conse?
quences for the fair-halted member ot
the Oelrichs family, was the coat-room
in tho clubhouse at Fifty-llrst Street
and Fifth Avenue. If information ob?
tained be true. It is the llrst time in
seventy-live years that members of the
club have so far forgotten the tradi?
tions of tin- organization as to resort
to blows within tin- club building, much
less to make it necessary for the ser?
vants to get busy with a mop and re?
move from the boots the crimson
traces of sucii an encounter.
The exact cause of tho light has not
been made public. Members of the
club gave assurance, however, it did
not arise from a dispute about a wo?
man or about cards. These members,
including J. Pierpont Morgan, wiio is
one of Its three trustees, were scan?
dalized by the list light and decided
Oelrichs must be disciplined. The in?
vestigation seemingly convinced the
?onservators of the dignity anil decency
of tho organization that Kingslano
fought merely in self-defense, and that
when he endeavored to get out of tin
clubhouse before any blows could bo
struck there, he was intercepted by
Oelrichs.
Those who know the details of the
.Ight say there have been few such in
clubs in New Vork City, not counting,
or course, those clubs given fiver to
athletic sports ami slugging matches.
To old members of the Union Club
one of the humiliating features of the
fight was that It occurred In the pres?
ence of several of the club's servants,
and, therefore, could not be hushed up.
The dispute started on one of the upper
floors, In the presence of several of the
older members; extended down the
stairs, with Oelrichs in pursuit ot
IClngsland, and found its culmination so
the coatroom, in full view of the ser?
vants. When the fight was at Its height
several millionaires were tugging at
Oelrichs and remonstrating, and others
were endeavoring :o get Klhgsland out
of the way of the lists of the then
thoroughly aroused and muscular son
ui Charles M. Oelrichs. That belliger?
ent individual refused to be pacified,
however, and It was not until he-saw
Klrigsland's blood How that he listened
to those pleading with him not to dis?
grace the club.
Kingslahd admitted there had heen
a tight. He declined, however, to dis?
cuss It, saying that to do so would be
gross violation of club ethics. Friends
of Klngsland also admitted that he had
been pumnielod by Oalrlchs.
