WILDE STATUE BARED

DESPITE AUTHORITIES.

Enthusiasts at Paris Hold Ceremony

but Cover Monument Again.

PARIS, Nov. 5.—In defiance of the city authorities the monument to Oscar Wilde in the Pere La Chaise Cemetery was unveiled to-day by Alastair [sic] Crowley in the presence of about twenty enthusiasts from the Latin Quarter. The monument was designed by Jacob Epstein and had been hidden from public view for many months by official order owing to alleged objectionable features. After the ceremonies the monument was again covered.
