Rathbone, of Illinois, in the House of Representa- tives, to create a national museum and veterans headquarters at old Ford's theater, Washington, D. C. This build- ing, where the assassination of Presi- dent Lincoln took place, is owned by the government and is now being used by the War department for the stor- age and shipment of blanks. Under the terms of the bill the Old- royd collection of Lincoln relics, con- sisting of over 3,000 pieces, will be placed on exhibition at Ford's theater. This collection was purchased by the Government last summer through a bill introduced by Congressman Rath- bone. The building will be remodeled, an appropriation being authorized for $100,000 in the bill for such purpose, and a meeting place furnished by the government to the Grand Army of the Republic and other organizations of veterans. The bill has been endorsed by the Grand Army of the Republic, Spanish War veterans, Allied War veterans and numerous civic and patriotic organiza- tions. It is understood that in the early fu- ture another bill will be introduced by Congressman Rathbone providing for the interior reconstruction of the house across the street from Ford's theater, where President Lincoln died, which is also the property of the United States. This building will be made to look as nearly as possible as it did in 1865. Mr. Rathbone's grandfather was Hon. Tra Harris, United States Senator from New York during the Civil war and one of President Lincoln's staunch- est supporters. His father and mother were also intimate friends of . Presi- dent and Mrs. Lincoln and, while engaged to be married, were in the box at Ford's theater at the time of Lincoln's assassination. His father, an army officer, was severely wounded by Booth when he endeavored to pro- tect the President. Mr. Rathbone's home is in Kenil- worth.
