Action Taken at a Meeting Held Yes- terday—What Has Been Done by the National Sculpture Society. A meeting of the Washington Society of Sculptors was held at 620 17th street yes- terday afternoon te attest their disapproval of the action of the monument committee in accepting the designs of Carl Rohl Smith of Chicago for the Sherman statue in this city, after those, designs had been rejected by a committee“of the National Sculpture Seciety of New,York, which had been in- vited to pass upon the various designs en- tered in the competition for the work. ‘There were present President Dunbar, E. C. Andrews, Robert Hinckley, Jules Dieu- donne, S. B. Nichols, Prof. L. Amateis, Edw. Siebert, G. F. Gibbs, W. H. Chandlee, L. Brumidi, W. M. Sawyer, Miss J. B. Curtis and W. B. Chilton, How to Secure a Reconsideration. President Dunbar sald he had inquired as tO the best method of securing a recon- sideration of the action of the monument committee, and that he had been informed by a Senator that Congress would prob- ably reverse the action of the committee if it could be shown that favoritism had been displayed by the committee or that any undue influence had been exerted to secure the selection of the Smith design. Prot. Amateis intimated that the Sec- retary of War and Major General Miles of the monument committee were opposed to the Smith design, but had been outvoted by the other five members of the commit- tee, all of whom were members of the So- ciety of the Army of the Teanessee. In case that were so, he thought they would not have much trouble in securing a re- consideration of the action of the commit- tee. Mr. Andrews said it would not be diffi- cuit to show that the selection of the Smith design was the result of favoritism. At any rate, he could see no good reason why the design of Carl Rohl Smith, which had been rated No. 10 by the art experts, should have been given the fourth position by the statue committee, and then finally selected as the design for the statue. A Protest to Congress. Mr. Sawyer favored immediate action in a line with that taken by the National Sculpture Society of New York. He sug- wested the preparation of a protest to Co gress against the erection of the Sherman monument, according to the design of Carl Rohl Smith. After further discussion as to the best form of procedure, Mr. Andrews made a motion, which was adopted. that a commit- tee of three, consisting of President Dun- bar, Prof. Amateis and Mr. G. F. Gibbs, be appointed to draw up resolutions of pro- test to Congress, to be submitted to an ad- jJourned meeting of the society, to be held this afternoon. National Sculpture Society's Protest. Gen. Dodge of the Sherman monument committee has received a vigorous protest from the National Sculpture Society again the erection of the Sherman monument un- der the designs of Carl Rohl Smith, which designs had been previously rejected by a committee of that soclety as of inferior merit. The question of what should be dene in the matier was considered at a meeting of the soclety held in New York Tuesday evening. Those present were J. Q. A. Ward, Russel Sturgis, R. W. Ruck: stuhl, Db. C. French, Bruce Price, George B. Post, Oliver L. Warner, Thomas Has‘ ings, Herbert Adams, C. R- Lamb, W. Brownell, W. T. Evans and S. C. Avery. The session lasted over three hours, and most of those present spoke in denuncia- tion of the monument committee's action. The sentiment was unanimous, and one of the members said that all present were fighting mad over what they considered a crime against American art. After the meeting Secretary Ruckstuhl said: ‘The executive council of the National Sculpture Society, having heard with sur- prise and chagrin of the decision of the committee in regard to the proposed Sher- man monument to be erected in Washing- ten, have sent letters of protest to the Secretary of War and to Gen. G. M. Dodge, the president of the committee, and in the meantime are using their best endeavors to secure a public exhibition of the models in New York in such a public. place as will permit an intelligent inspection of them and thus help to secure a competent re- vision of the decision.” Me. Ruckstuhl said that the society weculd keep up the fight, and, if possible, bring about a reconsideration of the ac- ceptance of Smith's plans. All of the com- petitors except Mr. Smith are willing an anxious to exhibit their plans in that city Mr. Smith has declined to do so at pr nt, on the ground that he is going to Eu- rope soon for the summer. He has expressed his willingness to ex- hibit his model in the autumn. This will hardly prove satisfactory to the members of the society, as they wish to have the exhibition take place walle public Interest in the matter is aroused, and fear that if it is left until fall an indetinite postponement may resuit. Another effort will, therefore, be made to induce Mr. Smith to exhibit shortly. What Members Say. According to the New York Sun, the members of the society are very much stirred up over the matter, which they con- sider a sort of test case. The purpose in organizing the society was to establish a competent jurisdiction in art matters, such as exists In European countries, They were greatly pleased when the com- mittee of the Army of the Tennessee, which, in conjunction with Seeretary La- mont and Gen. Miles, was authorized to award the commission for the Sherman Statue, invited them to appoint a commit- tee to pass upon the plans submitted. ‘The committee awarded prizes to the four best designs and discaried Mr. Smith's as among the inferior ones. They were sur- prised when Gea Dodge's committee or- dered a new competition vetween the prize winners and Carl Rotfl Smith without again requesting tielr co-operation. When it was announced that Mr. Smith's plans had been accepted ind their recom- mendations ignored, the members of the society were indignant at the discourtesy to its committee. It Is reported that Secretary Laraont and Gen, Miles voted against the Smith design, and were disgusted with the manne~ in which the matier had been handed by Gen. Dodge and his friends, and the sculpiors believe that if this ts so, ihey maye be in- duced to take action to’ reopen the whole question. foe ee What He Did Not Say. The Blaine Invincible Club met last night at Mount Carmel Church. The committee of arrangements on the Carson barbecue Monday reported. A resolution was adup:- ed denying that Mr. Carson made any statement at the barbecue about Mr. Me- Kinley’s attitude toward the colored race, Willlam C. Chese, T. T.

It provided for an amendment to article 3, to provide that any person twenty-one years of age or over, owning real estate, or the relative of the cwner of real estate in the bounds of the association, having authority to act for such owner, might become a member upon payment of the proper initiation fee and dues. The association also de ter it will not assume responsibility fer statements made to Congress or the Com- missioners, except when specially provided. ‘The constitution was further amended to provide that hereafter the meeting of the association shall be heid on the first Mon- day of each month. ‘The application recently made by the as- sociation for the assignment of additional policemen to Mount Pleasant was again brought up, this time by the reading of letters from the Commissioners and Major Moore, stating that it would be impossible to police Mount Pleasant with a larger force until Congress shail appropriate funds for that purpose.

There was | some trouble experienced in securing pairs for absent friends of the measure, because there were so few Senators to be found in favor of the veto. ‘The five votes against the passage of the bill were cast by Sen- ators Bate, Chilton, Hill, Smith and Vilas. Thirty-three republicans, nineteen demo- crats and four populists made up the affirmative side. This action by the Senate makes the bill a law without further formality beyond the filing of the official parchment copy with the Secretary of State, together with the certification of the votes of the two houses of Congress, ee Enjoyed Themselves. in the A “povertie partie” was enjoyed by the young people of the Memorial Lutheran Church last evening, and by this means a neat sum was realized for use in enter- taining the delegation assigned to that church during the Christian Endeavor con- vention next month.

A musical and literary program was en- joyed, and home-made refreshments were served, a The Competitor Case.

All those affected are try- ing to stem the ohslaught by bringing in- fivence to bear on Secretary Smith. Most of the clerks singled out for dismissal or reduction were of the class that owe thelr places largely to political influence. With scme exceptions, they were eMficient. One, Mr. Cameron, who was dismissed, stcod first on the st for promotion. The st of reduct’ons is as follow fhe List : From first assist- ant examiner to fourth asgistant examiner, with pay cut down from $1,800 to $1,200: H. C, Hunteman, F. A. Ward, D. G. Purman, T. C.

Dedication Services to Be Held To- morrow. Tomorrow will be a red-letter day in the history of Washington Methodism, but more particularly to those of the denomi- nation who are mempers of Fifteenth Street Church. The occasion is the dedi- cation of the new church home of the con- gregation of the church, at the northeast corner of 15th and R streets northwest. It Is expected that the dedication will bring together a large audience, for in addition to the interest natural to such an cccasion, a program has been prepared embracing sermons by several eminent divines in the Methodist Chutch. The ex- ercises of the day will commence with those of the Sabbath school in the morn- ing, of which Rev. Harry Farmer is leader, and then at 11 a.m. Rev. J. W. Hamilton, D.D., secretary of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Educational Scc:ety, will preach the sermon. The doctor was the pastor cf the present Fifteenth Street Church many years ago. ie a In the afternoon at o'clock the speaker will be Rev. Dr. duther Tracy Townsend, co-pastor of Metropolitan Church. At the evening service Hev. iC. H. Paine, D.D., will occupy the pulpit;;and the dedication exercises will be. conducted by Bishop Hurst.

Pratt, who for fourteen ypars,past was a clerk in the pension office, and well known in this city, occurred Tugsday last shortly before midnight, at his residence, 1019 13th street northwest. At the outbreak of the civil War the deceased was adjutant of the thirty-first Missoufi régiment, and served in that capacity until 1864, when he was appointed aid-de-camp by Gen. John A. Logan. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and interment is to be at Arlington. Ss urge of False Pretenses. William R. Davis was arrested yester- day on a cgprge of false pretenses by De- tectives Helan, Lacy and Boyd, and held at the second pélice station. His arrest was made on complaint of A. M. Clapp, ex- public printer,who charges that he obtained $75 by representing that he needed the morey to pay off printers in his printing office. It is now alleged that Davis was not the proprietor of a printing office. Davis, who is a man of family, claims that he bor- rowed the money from Mr. Clapp, and that he made no false representations. The case will be tried tomorrow. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Citizens’ Association Waives Business for - Pleasure. Speeches and Music Tend to Pass a Pleasant Evening—Senator Sherman Speaks. The Columbia Heights Citizens’ Associa- tion last night glorified itself and the sec- tion that it represents. The occasion par- took of a love feast and an anniversary. Instead of discussing the laying of a side- walk here and the putting of a gas lamp there, the association, their wives, daugh- ters and a large number of invited guests gathered in the chapel of St. Stephen's Church, on ith street, Mstened to mus:c and speeches, and afterward enjoyed straw- berries and other eatables on the lewn outside. The hall was tastefully decorated with flowers and flags, and the members and guests as they arrived were greeted cordially by a reception committee, of which Judge Bundy was the chairman. On the stand were a number of members of the association and the invited guests, among whom were Senator Sherman, Jus- “tice Harlan and the Chinese minister. Mr. M. A. Ballinger, the president of the 4 sociation, presided and introduced the va- ricus speakers in an apt and clever man- ner. The proceedings were opened with an exeellently rendered violin solo by Miss Lucas. Mr. Ballinger, after expressing his regret that Judge Harlan did not feel equal to the occasion, delivered an address of welcome, in which he praised the States, the District of Columbia, the city of Waskington, but more especially Co- lumbia Heights, which he declared was the finest spot in the District, and therefore in the world. He gave an eloquent picture of the beauty of the surrounding country, with its diversitied iandscape and picturesque spots. During an eloquent period when the speaker was congratulating his hearers the fact that in the White House dwelt the only chief of a great nation who dared to move around unsurrounded by a guard of soldiers, Capt. O'Ferrall walked through the crowded room, escorting to the form the Chin minister. Mr. Ballinge drew attention to the fact that no lque Icons could exist within the sacred pr cincts of Columbia Heights, and that the parking in fri of the houses was o by the citizens themselves, and the reach of any Commissioners. tended a cordial welcome to thi and to the guests. Senator 8 man, A well-rendered piano solo by Miss Bestor was received with applause, after which the association transacted a litle business in the election to membership of Prof. Mon- tague, L. S.

Fifteen years be- fore, he said, the place was a simple farm owned by Mr: He told of its pur- chase by syndicate of business men, and of the methods decided on for its subdi- vision. He praised the original design of Washington, with its) w streets and avenues, circles and ndeavored to follow that plan as clos could be. He would have liked, he said, a to have seen lith street straightened, bat that had been found impossi He thought It best and right that owne: ould hal complete control of the property in front of thelr houses. The men who had beew Commissioners of the District of Colum! had been good men, but he was of the opin jon that an owner ‘could look after the in- terests of his own property better th could any District Commissioner. He spoke eloquently of the beautiful sit uation and the many advantages to he fou d on the heights, and the applause that greet- ed the close of his remarks spoke of the high est{mation in which the Senator is re- sarded in the place he has done so much to develop. Representative Tay to Mrs. T. C. Noyes sang two songs in hec usual effective manner. She was followed by Representative Taylor, who was intro- ed by Mr. Ballinger, as representing inley’s old cistrict. Mr. ‘f made a witty and pleakant speech, in which he said that it was an impossibility for an Ohio man to make a speech without touch- ing upon politics, and especially an Ghio j Man who had the next President for one of his constituents. He spoke of Mr. Hal- linger as having said that Columbia Heights was the work of divinity, and after | hearing how much Senator Sherman had had to do with the development of the Place he was willing to allow the claim. He himself had tried to find the most con fortable place in Washington to live. He had seen all of Washington except Colum- Ma Heights and had thought of resignins | The general Ohio instinct of never resign. | ing anything had been the only thing that had kept him from this step. Afterward he had seen Columbia Heigh:s and aad ; taken up his residence there and had never been sorry for it. He spoke of the beau. tiful view to be. ot 1, and said the only place he could not see from his house was the White House. At the close of Mr. Taylor's remarks one of the members of the association arose and. suggested that as Mr. Tayicr could not see the White House from Columbia Heights he shoul introduce a resolution to have the White Heuse moved up on the hill. Mr. Ed. Hay was introduced and made one of his inimitable speeches, ending up th the delivery of Joaquin Miller's pocn, ‘olumbus.” Rev. Dr. Dudley ended the Program in the hall with a song.
