New York Recorder.
Has 1t ever occurred TO the people who
are so deeply interested III the proposed sill
yer statue of the Goddess of Justice
which is to adorn the Montana building at
the worlds fair that tho statue will n ever
has not it Is time it had. for no life size
much less q heOrlc size-statue of d Re-
han, or any OF the other ladies connected
with the discussion, can be cast on solid
silver.
The Recorder is in position TO speak au-
thoritatively on this subject. The Ames
Manufacturing Company. of Chicopee,
Mass, has been trying TO cast the statu-
cites of the sailor Riggin. who was muir
dered in Valparaiso. Chill. for nearly q
year. and has only succeeded in that time
in making one perfect statuette, twenty
eight inches high. of solid silver.
The Ames company Is one of the Oldest
and best equipped for such work in this
country. The company WAS selected to
cast the Riggln statuettes because it was
believed by competent authority to be bet
ter prepared to do snch difficult work than
any other establishment. The resources
and the embodiment of skill gained from
years of experience by the company were
concentrated upon the work.
Failure followed failure. and for q time
IL was doubtful if the twenty-eight-inch
statuettes could really be cast of solid sill
YER. Finally, as stated, one perfect figure
assured, but it is evident that the limit in
the present stage of the art has been
reached with the Riggin statuettes.
That solid silver statues eight feet high,
as the Montana Goddess is to be, can be
cast, is not even open TO argument. IL is
settled beyond q doubt by the work on the
Riggin statuettes. The model for the
Montana Goddess IL not vet completed, and
yet it Is expected that the statue will be
ready to mount on the building which it is
to edOrl IN three or fOur mOQths-
The controversy as to who was invited
to be the model should be suspended while
the fate of the enterprise ana the enterpris-
ing contractors Is discussed. In the light
of present experience. IL is evident that If
the Montana building 10 adorned with q
statue it must be of some baser metal than
silver. The statue can be only q silver
plated affair at best.

WILL 1T PROVE MURDER?
Harry Mccormick Held on the Charge of At
tempting to Hill William kimball.

About Z o'clock last night detective
Thornton arrested Harry Mccormick and
Thomas Force for assault and battery with
intent to kill William Kimball. q grocer
residing at No.. 378 West Second street.
About2 O'Clock Sunday morning McCor-
mick, Force and Kimbsll met in Haberern's
saloon. at the corner of West and First
streets, and were drinking together.
They left the saloon together, going
out the back door. and what took
place after that is only known by
the story told by Mccormick. which doesn't
coincide with the circumstances as devel-
oped by subsequent Investigation. Nc
Cormick says that when they left the place
and went into the yard in the rear of the
saloon. Kimball subjected him to an indig-
nifty which he resented and warned him
tKimbaID not to do SO again; that there-
upon the latter repeated the act and Nc
Cormick then struck him. He admits the
striking but says that he struck bin with
his fist while the wounds inflicted
show conclusively that the blow was
struck with some blunt instrument.
When the blow was struck Kimball fell
upon the ground and did not move. No
Cormick then called Force, who, it seems.
had no hand in the difficulty, and they
called Mike Haberern, the proprietor or
the saloon. and carried the insensiLie man
into the saloon and afterwards took him to
his home. They left the house immediate
ly and refused to give their names. Kim
ball has remained unconscious ever since
he was taken home. about 4 o'clock Sun
day morning. and recognizes no one,
not even his wife. In his dellrium
his mind seems to wander back to
the time when he received his injury and he
calls out at intervals go away" and For
Gods sake don't kill mel" He also makes
frequent allusion to the ak by the we'll"
HIS condition is very serious and but
slight hopes are entertained for his recov-
cry. His skull is fractured at the base of
the brain and he has an ugly wound on the
forehead. In addition to these wounds he
was out and bruised about the mouth as If
he had been kicked. A girl by the name of
Carrie Suder. who was employed as a do
nestle by Haberern's family, says that tho
saloon floor was covered with blood after
the affair and that she washed it
up because it made her sick. When IL was
reported that Kimball was dead the girl
said that from the appearance ofthe saloon
floor l.. must have bled TO death. Late
last night il was said that the girl had
quit working for Haberern and could not
be found.
