l
Arrangement for the erection of the
Art Gallery on the Parkwajr nt Twenty
fifth Ktreet. under the plans of .Tncqurs
Greber, will necessitate the removal to
8 new position yet to be selected of the
George Washington Monument nt the
entrance to Fairmount Tark. erected by
the Society of the Cincinnati, and dedi
cated by President McKinley, it was
announced today.
The city on Saturday acquired the
last mill property on the right of way
.iramOthe' Parkway, that the Flelsber Com
pany V iwenty-nun street.- mrector
Da team .Ti has ordered that wreckers be
gin demolishing the building today to
'prepare the site for the Art Gallery.
This spot in the future will bo the start
ing point for the work on the Schujlklll
embankment.
"The presence of the Kleishcr Timid
ing up to this time has held up construc
tion on what is to be the terminus of
' the Parkwny," said Director Datrsman.
"The delay which has taken place In
connection with the demolition of this
building was due primarily to the war
and later to the removal or the ma
chinery and certain material from the
building. Tn compliance with the wishes
of the federal government, Major Smith
made no effort to have the occupants
'vacate the building during the wnr for
the reason that the building nnd its
equipment were necessary to the manu
facture of many articles essential in the
conduct of the war.
"Preparations to complete the Park
way over the site of the Fleisher Build
ing have already begun nnd plans for
the work are being drawn by Chief
Dunlap, of the Burcnii of Ilighwa.is,
and Percy Proctor, engineer in
charge of boulevards and parkways.
Provision is made in the pending loan
for $350,000 necessary to carrj on the
construction.
"Aside from the construction of the
center and side drivewnjs nnd footways
of the Parkway, the plans for the devel
opment of the improvement at this point
provide for rather elaborate treatment.
The design for the development here is
to be elliptical in form and exceptionally
attractive. It w ill immedlntelj fnc c the
proposed $400,000 Art Museum, and in
the center of the design will be the
Washington Monument which now
stands at the entrance to Fairmount
Park at Green street, which is to be re
moved to .its new position ns soon as the
work at the terminus of the Parkway
is sufficiently developed."
Major General Charles II. Mulr has
yet to cast his first vote. Mlo made
this admission today lu declining to
discuss possibilities for a military can
didate for the presidency in 10"0.
It isn't that "Uncle Charier' Mulr
doesn't believe In voting. He sajs It
Is the fact that he has never been nble
to estnblish n voting tcsidencc since he
became of age.
"The only place that I might claim a
home," he said, '"is the illage in
Michigan where I was born, but 1 sup
pose some state regulation would re
quire more residence there than I could
establish. I hae never been nble to
establish n voting residence since I hae
been in the scniee."
Much of General Mulr's sen ice has
been out of the country. He served
with the Second Infantry in the war
with Spain and came from his duties'
on the Pnnamn cnnal to take command
of the Twcntj -eighth Division.
He wns nsked whether he thought the
boom of Major General Leonard Wood
for the Republican candidacy in 10-0
would win fnor with soldiers,
"1 hnve no opinion on a political
mntter." he snld. "and wouldn't ex
press them if I had ahy. I know Gen
eral Wood. Met him first on mv way
to Cubn in 180S when we were on the
same boat. I hnc seen him since, but
do not know him intimntelj But 1
don't know nnj thing about politics."

Delegates to St. Louis Conven
tion Deny Plan to Boom
Candidates
PATTERNED AFTER G. A. R.
Denial that the American l.rglon,
the new veterans' association. Is to be
used for political purposes, was made
here today by two of the delegates to
the first convention of the legion In St.
Louis.
Major Charles ,T. Riddle, the Amer
ican ace, who hends the delegation,
mnde an emphntic declaration that the
American Legion is not a political or-gazlnatinn.
lie was nsked whether the American
Legion would support the boom of Major
General Leonard Wood for the presi
dency. "The American Legion i not n po
litical niganimtlon." he said. "We nre
going to St Louis with no plans except
to oignnize the association nnd form a
program of activitv. But we have no
polltiral purposes."
Similnr views were expressed bj Col
onel Millard D. Brown, former com
mando of the lOOth Infantrj, nnotber
of the delegates from this city.
Colonel Brown said :
'I he soldier organization is designed
sun Ivors of the Civil War have pacd
on.
"It Is not our purpose to create a
political machine or to build up a league
for the purpose of supporting a soldier
candidate for the presidency.
"At the close of the Civil Wnr the
G. A. 11. was formed for the purpose
of protecting the interests of the vet
erans and to perpetuate the memories
of those who bad made the s'npremc
sacrifice for the country. Similar rea
sons actuate the men who are organ
izing the league of world war veterans."
The thirteen delegates to the conven
tion In St. Louis will leae the city
tomorrow night nt 7:nn. The conten
tion Is scheduled,' for May 0 nnd 10.
