A sensa tion was caused in ibis city today by the discoyery of what appeared to be a definite and serious attempt to blow rrp or deface the statue of Frederick the Great, given to the TJi ited States by Emperor William of Germany and erected in tbe Ar senal grounds, near the Army Col lege, on the Potomac River wat-r-front, in the Southern part of the city. It was believed at first that a crank had made a real effort at dtrbtruetion ot the statue, but after a careful investigation the police of ficials say the material used was in-. capable of producing damage. Ibe evidence so far secured, the police announced tonight, tends to show tbat the attempted effort to injure the etatut was amateurish to a de gree. - It is regarded as an attempt to work up sensation. .
