the situation thus far. Several bets (

have been made that his independence 1League will rot poll more than 60,000 i;

votes. One bet was made last night lot $3,000 to $1,300 that thc Independ- c

Itoosevelt is the unknown qnantlty intlie campaign.

TO DESTROY THE ORIGINAL

Brys, Artist, Declares Hc Has It.Gpssipt Rccall That Barneysand M'Leans Are Not Friends.

Washington, D: C, Octobor II...Whatis the Barney statue? When was ltplaced on tho lawn of tho fashlonableresldence In Massachusctts Avenuo?Who placed It there, and why? Doeslt represent the beauty of Miss NatalioC. Barney, the younger daughter ofMrs. Albert Cllfford Barney, or is ltthe likeness of some mald of antlqulty?These are questlons that are belngasked ln dlplomatlc, soeial and oflleialclrcles, and no one can reply with cer-talnty.The Hlndu butler at tho Barney home,

who answers to the strange name ofOnlj*, to-day caused the statue to beplaced in a coflln-like box, and holdstho.key to the Ud. Tho lld may bo 11ft-ed if Onlj* is properlj* approached.Within thc last two days vanelala

have, with charcoal and colored cray-ons, wrltten various remarks on thestatue. It was to prevent a repetltionof thls sort of work, as much as to pro¬tect the llgure from the gaze of thocurlous and the attacks of tlie elements,that Only caused it to be placed in itsbox.Positive denial that Miss Natalio wasthe model tor the statuo camu to-dayin a cable from Mrs. Barne-y und both

her daughters. lt corroborated thestatement of Mme. All Kuil Kuhn, wlfeof the charge d'affaires of the Persianlegatlon, which appeared in this inorn-lng'a N'ew York Times. Mme. All Kuil,who had just returned from Parls,where siie vislted with Mrs. Barneyand her daughters, asserted that MlssLaura Barney ls now at work on abust of her slster, Natalle, and that,therefore, the statue on tho lawn mustbe "some sort of antique."To deepen the mystery, J. Brys, a

weli-known local sculptor, to-day as¬serted that Mlsa Natalle's figure wavshown in tiie statue, and that the orlg¬lnal was securely locked up in hlsstudio ln Farragut Square. He addedthat the figure on tho lawn was onlya copy. Mr. Brys refused to allowthe treasured original to bo seen, al¬though urgently requested to do so,and terminated the Intervlew by de¬claring that lie intended to "destroy"It at once.

"I de< not want any more notorietyabout the thlng," ho erclalmed, "andHO have cuncluded that the best thlngto e|e, Ih to destroy the statue.",,"Havo you received orders from

Mr*. Barneys to do thls?" he was ask¬ed.

"I do not care to make any furtherstatement," ho replied.

Aniong the gosslps to-day it was re-mai-k'-d -that attentlon was flrat calledto the presonco of the statuo on tlieBarney lawn by the Washington Post,Which .fUggOBtod tliat it should be cov-ered frotn publlc gaze by the police.Th'. f'OHl lu owned by John Xt.
