invited twenty Polish artists to submit de-
signs in competition for the statue with
the understanding that prizes would be
awarded TO those standing first, second or
third. respectively, in order of merit,
A Jury of Sculptors.
In accordance with the plans OF the COM
mission the models of the designs were
placed on exhibition in the Corcoran ual-
lery of Art and carefully inspected by a
Jury of artists selected by the commission
ers to aid them in determining the COM
parative artistic merits of the designs This
Jury was composed of Mr.. dorado Taft of
Chicago. Mr. Daniel C. French of New
York and Mr. Henry NJ. Shady of New
York. all sculptors of acknowledged skill
and ability.
The report of the jury was submitted a
few days ago and will be considered by the
commission at its meeting tomorrow. The

of thirteen figures representing the original
thirteen states of the Union.

to carry out this work, and in order that

body of Poles in the United States, from
the Polish press and from the National
Polish Alliance, which body alone numbers
over $4,000 members. small monthly as
sessment has been levied by this commit
tee upon each individual and in this way
the sum has been raised and every Pole in
the United States has been enabled to show
his loyalty to the ideals that are asso-
ciated with the names of Washington and
KosciusZko. The central committee, Of
which Mr.. J. M. Sienkiewicz is secretary,
last April invited Polish artists in all parts
of the world to take part in a competition
for the monument. Twenty sculptors re-
sponded, and the models they submitted
were set up for inspection in the basement
of the Corcoran Gallery in this city.
An Expert Jury.
An expert jury, composed of eminent
American sculptors, viewed them on Janu-
airy and selected three most merito-
rious and worthy of awards, besides des-
ignating a fourth for honorable mention.
They were the works of st. r. Lewandow-
ski of Vienna, of an anonymous sculptor
of Lemberg, Austria, who gave as his
motto Liberty on both sides of the globe, 7"
and of Prof. Jul. Beltowski also of Lem
berg. President Roosevelt examined these
models on January s. and selected as his
choice the model submitted by the name
less sculptor, declaring it in better accord
with the monuments to Lafayette and
Rochambeau. which are already on the
south corners of Lafayette Square, as well
as more fitting in design as the monument
to military hero
The final choice, however lies with the
government committee named by Congress,
which is composed of Secretary Taft, Sena-
tor Wetmore and Representative McCleary
which committee has not yet arrived at a
decision.

The third choice of the jury was another
model from Lemberg, the work OF Prof.

500 will be awarded the three successful
competitors, and the contract for the erec-
ton of the statue will be awarded the one
whose design is approved by the commas
sion.
The Presidents Choice.
Since the jury submitted it's report Presi-
dent Roosevelt has visited the art gallery
and made personal inspection of the Kos
ciuszko models. He did not agree with the
conclusion of the jury of artists, and ex-
pressed his opinion that the model rated
second by the jury, namely. the one in
scribed Liberty on Both Sides Of the Sea, )"
should be rated first instead of the model
of Lewandowski, which he declared was
not suitable for the purpose. In the judg-
ment of the President, the statue he Sc
lected as most meritorious, was in better
accord with the statues of Lafayette, Ro-
chambeau and Won Steuben Ghe last named
not yet erected) the other three corners
of Lafayette Square, and more appropriate
in design for military hero than the model
of Lewandowski chosen by the ar
lists. 1t is said that the jury of artists
changed its report to meet the views or
the President, and recommended the award
of the first prize to the unknown sculptor
from Lamberg and the award of the second
prize to Lewandowski Of Vienna. That
