Dr, Albert Ceol Murs, the

Philadelphia.
The William Penn, statue uh City Iall,-
Philadelphia, is historically inaccurate,
he says, because it represents Penn wear-
ing clothes which he never wore. “Only
one modern pointer has depicted William
Penn with historical accuracy," he says.
Challenged to prove his staterdenta.
Dr. Myers maintains his position and
has presented evident which he declares
indisputable.
Dr. Myers has devoted his entire time
since 1910 Incoltectinm, clting and com-
piling the e • f William

The house in Arch street, oinied out on the re-
once er Retsy Ioss when sheris reputed to hal
desigueu the Flan, was never cecupled by the
young widow, asserts Dr. Myers,.
Dr. Albert Cook Myers, who has
, devoted his life to a study of
William Penn in particular and
the early history of the Koy-
atone State in general, asserts
that the stat co of Penn atop
City Hall is all wrong. In the
first place, it represents a man
much older than Penn at the •
• time he was in the Colony and
then, too, the costume is not that
of a Friend of that period
