MILLEN. | NION SQUARE, in the lee of | the Capitol, is being perfected | by officials of the National | Capital Parks, with the aid of P. W. A. funds, at the head of the Mall, andgsoon the ques- | tion will arise over what naval hero | shall be honored there. President Roosevelt, student of naval history, 1s interested in the outcome. Officials of the Fine Arts Commis- sion and C. Marshall Finnan, superin- tendent of the National Capital Parks, deem it but proper that the space on the south side of the square should be set aside for a Civil War hero, who served in the Navy. Unicn Square, within & stone’s throw of the Capitol, heart of the Union, is being fashioned to commemorate the preservation of the Union, Accordingly in Union Square are found outstandmig memorials to two Civil War heroes—Grant and Meade. A space to the south has been set apart for a memorial to another hero of that period, so the trinity mav be complete. Many naval officers con- sider the outstanding naval hero of that time to be Admiral David Glasgow Farragut. But Washington already has Farragut Square, with its statue of the admiral done by Mrs. Virnie (Ream) Hoxie. at Seventeenth and K streets. This memorial was unveiled on April 25, 1881. The cost of the statue was $20.000 and this was appropriated by Congress in April, 1872 Now it is quite possible that another memorial to Farragut could be erected in Union Square, for there are those who do not go into ecstacies over the present Farragut statue in Farr | Square. Even though a statue | Farragut were to be placed in Union Square, this would not be out of keeping with other names honoring heroes. Although the Grant Memorial is now in Union Square. Grant Circle is far distant, up at Fifth and Var- num streets. The Sherman Memorial is south of the Treasury Department, but Sherman Circle is ai Seventh and Crittenden streets. So why not have Farragut Memorial in Union Square and still retain Farragut Square, they argue? Memorial to Grant. The imposing memorial to Gen. Ulvsses S. Grant is located at the Mall and First street, in the old Bo- tanic Garden grounds, at the east end of Union Square. Henry M. Shrady was its sculptor and Edward P. Casey memorial was un- 27, 1922. It was author ized by a f February 23, 1901, and its cost limited to $250,000. Congress appropriated $10.000 for plans and models for base, pedestal and statue. By act of June 28, 1902, Congress ap propriated $50,000 for commencing work. Subsequent acts appropriated funds totaling $190,000 for erection of the memorial. By act of August 1, 1914, $5,000 was appropriated for its dedication, but the World War came along and unveiling did not come until after the conflict. The statue honoring Gen. George Gordon Meade shows the Civil War commander standing. Charles A. Grafly was its sculptor, It was un- veiled October 19, 1927. The memo- rial was erected by the State of Penn- sylvania, without expense to the United States. It occupies the north side of Union Square. Across from the Meade Memorial to the southward will arise the memo- | rial being planned for the naval hero of the Civil War. Who will be chosen Will it be Farragut, Porter, Foote, Dahlgren, Worden, Dupont—or some one else? Probably President Roosevelt, him- self a great lover of the sea and a keen student of naval history. will person- ally make the selection, after consulta- tion with the Navy Department. Capt. Dudley W. Knox, U. S. Navy, re- tired, in charge of the Office of Naval Records and Library, is the depart- ment's expert on naval history. Washington already has memorials honoring Admiral Farragut; Commo- dore John Paul Jones, at the foot of Seventeenth street, on the shore of the Tidal Basin; Commodore John Barry, on the west side of Franklin Park. on Fourteenth street between I and K streets: Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Dupont, in Dupont Circle—all naval heroes. But the problem in Union Square is simplified, because it is confined to Civil War heroes True it is that Admiral Dupont is in that, category, but he already has his memorial here—as has Farragut—the Dupont family having paid the cost of the memorial-—$77,521. The Dupont memorial fountain, the work of the its architect veiled Ap Union Square Seeks a Hero | | Some Civil War Navy Leader Will Be Given Honor. THE EVENING noted sculptor Daniel Chester French was unveiled May 17, 1921, “Peace” Monument. The ironical part of Washington statuary is that although the person- nel of the Navy paid the bill, the memorial erected is not popularly | known as the Naval Monument. Not one person in a thousand knows that | the Peace Monument at Pennsyl- vania avenue and First street, is known officially as the Naval Monu- ment. This is the work of the sculp- | tor Franklin Simmons and was erect- | ed by the Navy Department in 1877 and transferred to the parks office in March, 1904. The sundry civil act of July 31, 1876, appropriated $20.000 for completing the statue of Peace. The memorial was paid for mainly by subscriptions from naval personnel. Admiral Farragut was born near Knoxville, Tenn, July 5, 1801, and | died at the navy yard, Portsmouth, | N. H, August 14, 1870. Under com- mand of Capt. David Porter, Far-| ragut was ordered to the U S. Essex and was with him in his mem- orable cruise in the Pacific. When only 12 years old, Farragut was given command of = prize ship and took her safely into Valparaiso. During the Civil War, in 1862, he was given command of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron. He opened up the Mississippi River on his flagship, the U. S. S. Hartford, by taking the forts below New Orleans, He re- ceived the surrender of the city, April 24 1862. He attacked and passed the defenses of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864, and, following a furious fight, received the surrender of the Conferedate , fleet in those waters. Congress officially thanked him for his exploits. President Lincoln creat- ed the grade of vice admiral for him and Congress made him an admiral. From lieutenant to admiral in two | vears was the meteoric carcer of | Admiral David Dixon Porter, son of | Commodore David Porter. The Civil | War hero was born in 1813 and| and served with honor in the Mex- ican War. In 1862, he commanded the mortar boat flotilla under Far- ragut, at the passage of Forts Jack- son and St. Philip. He bombarded forts at Vicksburg: commanded the Mississippi squadron as acting rear admiral. He co-operated with Sher- man in the capture of Arkansas Post, for which Congress thanked him. With Grant, he co-operated in cap- turing Vicksburg and again Congress thanked him, promoting him to a rear admi He was in command of the naval forces at Fort Fisher and for the third time Congress thanked him made vice admiral in 1866 and admiral of the Navy in 1870. Rear Admiral Andrew Hull Foote had distinguished himself in engage- ments on the Canton River in China, before the Civil War broke. Congress thanked him for his gallant service during the war between the States Rear Admiral John Lorimer Wor- | den, for whom one of the latest de- strovers is named, this craft having been seen here recently at the Wash- ington Navy Yard, is another out- standing Civil War hero. He is best known as being the commander of the Monitor, which on March 9, 1862, fought the famous battle in Hamp- ton Roads, Va., with the Merrimac, Confederate ironclad. BIBLE CLASS EXERCISES Rev.

Laws and More Concern for Efficient Administration. STAR, WASHINGTON Less lawmaking and more concern for improving the efficiency of those | administering the laws are held up as dual needs in combating crime by | a committee of the American Bar Association, in a report today. | “Substantial improvement in law enforcement is possible only through | improvement in the efficiency of agents by whom the law is enforced. * * So long as the public attempts to make crime suppression more effective | by changes in the criminal law, it will meet continued disappointment,” says the committee, which is headed John Parker Waite, professor of law, University of Michigan. Citizens’ Groups Urged. One paramount reform could be worked by removing judiciary and police from the influence of politics, the committee says. Along with this, it advocates that individual commu nities establish citizens' committees to center attention on the administra- tion of criminal justice and make pe- riodical reports to the public. “The committee is aware that there is danger inherent in such under- takings as this latter,” the report says. “An organization may so center | its interest and attention on one aspect of justice, such as prosecution or bail, s to lose sight of other phases, and the picture it paints in its report may, in consequence, be biased or mislead- ing. If by evil chance, partisanship creeps into the group, its reports may be falsely incomplete. Neverthele: vour committee believes that the po- tential good in the establishment of such organizations far outweighs the possibilities of evil. Should Be Members of Bar, “To avoid so far as possible the danger of partisanship or bias, such organizations should be absolutely independent of the Government, both financially and in their membership. They should be composed of persons having no possibility of profit through inaccurate or incomplete re- ports. On the other hand, they should mot be confined to members of the bar.” The committee will recommend that the Bar Association, which gets the! report at its convention in Los Angeles next mor vor the or- ganization of these groups “at least in dis s where the administration of justice is par : Whi a part lection. of on the public > of ju good behavior in der to free the judiciary from the harmful psychological effects of de- pendence on political favor.” Associated on the committee with Chairman Waite are Joseph B. Keenan, Assistant Attorney General; Judge Harry B. Keidan of Detroit; Harry Eugene Kelly, Chicago; | Samuel Seabury, who conducted the so-called Seabury investigation in New York, and Charles P. Taft, II, of Cin- cinnati, son of the late Chief Justice. LIBEL SUIT DISMISSED LOS ANGELES, June 7 (#.—A by Henry or Judge Frank C.
