STATUE OF KOSCIUSZKO TO BE
ERECTED IN WASHINGTON
Meniprlal lo Patriot Presented to
America by FellowCountrymen
Poplels Mode Accepted
by Committee
Washington Two jears ago Ilia
Polish National Alllanco of tho United
States conceived tho idea ot present
ing to the American people a monu
ment ot den Tadousz Koscluszko to
bo erected at Washington In Lafajetto
square where tho monuments ot
>
Lafayette and nochambeau aro stand
Irig and where a monument to Daron
von Stouben will be raised in tho near
future Tho plan was to have the
memory of al tho most prominent offl
cers who fought forith o Independence
of tho United Statdsjthus honored by
monuments in tlios capital of tho
nation
Tho government J having appropri
ated 0060 for a monument to Qen
Statue to Be Erected to Thaddeus
Koscluszko
Pulaski who fought for tho liberty of
this country and who fell ln tho battle
of Savannah in 1770 the Polish Na
tional alllanco felt it to be the duty of
PolishAmericans to reciprocate by
presenting a monument of tho other
Polish patriot who lent his sword to
the cause of liberty of America
Tho gift having been accepted by
congress and tho president and the
fund having been started by means of
a special assessment from every mem
ber of the alllanco a contest was an
uounccd ln tho Polish papers in Eu
lopo and America for a model which
would satisfy tho governments com
mission ln Washington In tho middle
of December 190G models began to
airlve and Anally there was opened in
tho Corcoran gallery in Washington
an impressive exhibition of 20 models
all works of Polish artists Tho Wash
Ington newspapers spoke of this oxhl
bttlon as of a ery Instructive ono as
to tho spirit of foreign art towaid
America
The government committee which
consisted of Secretary Taft Senator
Wetmoie of TUiodo Island and Rep
resentative McCleary of Minnesota
Invited a Jury of three prominent
American sculptors Messrs Lora o
Taft of Chicago and Daniel Chester
Trench and Henrj M Schrady of Now
York to choose the three best modols
there being three premiums of 1000
C00 and 400 respectively Tho first
premium was accorded bj tho commit
tee to tho model sent by Antonl Po
plel of Lwow Lemberg Austrian
Pqland
President Roosevelt at a special ln
Vltatlon from the Polish alllanco visit
ed tho exhibition and expressed his
opinion that tho model of Mr Poplel
Is tho most acceptable
The model represents Koscluszko as
a hero of both hemispheres as he is
usually called by the Poles At the
front of the pedestal is a hemisphero
showing tho map of America with tho
American eaglo guarding Its liberty
In tho tear the other hemispherebear
ing the outline of Europe and Asia IS
being strangled by a snako represent
ing despotism which the Polish eagle
Is trying to kill with his beak and
talons To the right a Polish regular
soldier wounded and falling Is pro
tected by a Polish farmer with his
scythe to the left an American sol
dier Is cutting the ties of the Ameri
can farmer thus liberating him from
tho foreign yoke Aboo stands Kos
cluszko with a map ln one hand the

Tho longest jjpltaph ln Arlington

that carved onjfthestrangely shaped
monument of Captain John Williams
of the marine corps who died of
wounds received ln an Indian fight ln
Tlorida in 1812 Tho Inscription fol
lows i
Here lies the remains of John Wil
liams Esq late a captain ln tho Corps
of U S Marines Was born ln Staf
ford county Virginia > tho 24th of Au
gust 17G5 and died on tho 29th of Sep
tember 1812 at Camp New Hope ln
East Tlorida Tho body of deceased
was removed to this spot over which
his brother officers ln the marine corps
have caused this pile to ho erected
in testimony of his worth and in their
mournful admiration of his gallant
end
On tho 11th of September 1812
Captain Williams on hla march with a
command of 20 men to Davis cieek
block house tn easf Florida was at
tacked towards evening by upwards of
B0 Indians and negroes who lay con
cealed in the woods He Instantly
gavo battle gallantly supported by his
men who inspired byjhls animated ex
ample fought as long as thoy had a
cartrldgo left At length bleeding un
der eight galling wounds and unablo
to stand he was carried off the battle
ground whilst his heroic little band
pressed by superior numbers was
forced to retreat
Eminently characterized by cool In
trepidity Captain Williams evinced
during hl short but severe contest
those military prerequisites which
qualify the officer for command and if
his sphere of action was too limited to
attract tho admiration ot tho world It
was sufficiently expanded to crown
him with the approbation of his coun
try and to afford his brethren in arms
an example as highly useful as hls exit
has sealed w 1th honor the life of a pa
trlot soldier
Captain Williams monument Is an
elongated pyramid with two long and
Monument with Long Epitaph

is In script lettering covers all four
sides of tho stone The itono though
it appears largo in tne picture is

SIX WEEKS OF ORATORY AND EV
IDENCE CLOSED
COCKE MAKES BIG PROTEST
Does Not Want Investigation to End
Without tho Testimony and Some
Other Members So Vote
Austin Tex After four wecks ot
taking lestimoni following two weeks
of fervid oratory first in tho houses
of tho Legislature and then ln tho
meetings of tho investigating commit
tees tho investigation of United States
Senator Joseph W Dalley camo to
an end at E oclock Trlday afternoon
Of tho house commltteo only Messrs
McGregor and Jenkins voted against
closing tho Investigation Thc > in
slstcd upon sending tho sub committee
abroad to get tho testimony ot II Clay
Pierce The senate commltteo tied
upon the proposition only six members
being present Senators Skinner Sen
ter and Green oted against closing
the Investigation without an effort to
got Pierces testimony Senator Green s
rlfeht to vote he being tho chairman ol
the Senate commltteo was contested
by Senators Loonei Brachfleld ano
Stone but Senator Green Insisted that
the fact of his being chairman did not
deprlvo him of his right to vote and
he held the committee tied There
fore a decision in tho mattei was
postponed until Saturday liilt ft seems
improbable that tho result will be oth
ei than tho determination leached by
tho house committee At Saturday s
session tho committee will also at
tempt to Investigate tho responsibility
foi having a requisition sent to tho
Governor of Mlswuil for H Clay
Pierce Mr Jenkins Insisted upon this
declailng that no member of tho com
mlttee would acknowledge that ho was
responsible for It The committee will
also decide what thoy will do about
letting Mr Cockos protest against
closing tho investigation go ln the rec
ord and then it will map out a pro
gram for making up tho lecord and re
port of the committee
The transcript of tho testimony Is
nearly completed It will mako not less
than 750000 words enough to fill noar
ly 2000 pages in tho legislative jour
nal It Is questionable whether this
recoid can bo printed in time for use
in connection with action upon tho re
port of the commltteo It Is under
stood that tho report will bo expurgat
ed of the specphes made during tho In
i estlgation and there may be some ex
cision of unimportant testimony by
agreement but some members of tho
committee as least will object to ma
terial reduction of tho record
Some of the members of tho commit
tee think at least a week will elapse be
fore thoy can piesent their report to
the two houses In Just what form
this report will bo can not bo foretold
It Is said that some of the members
of the commltteo are averse to mak
ing any recommendations but think
it will be sufficient for them to report
the testimony and their finding ot
facts
