sculptor and is the author Of many ar
tistic creations. He was born In Gallcla'
Austria, in 1865. and after completing a
grammar school course studied at the
art academies of Krakow. Vienna. Der
lin, Florence and Paris. On completing
his professional studies he was ap-
pointed professor of sculpture at the
Imperial and Royal Polytechnic SCHOOLS
at Lemberg. He made many decorations
in relief and several monuments at
Lemberg and other cities In Poland.
He won many prizes in artistic compe-
titions. including the first prize among
twenty competitors for the kosciuszko
monument. President Roosevelt TOOK
an active interest in the Kosciuszko
competition, and 1t was on his strong
personal recommendation that the
award was given to Mr.. Popiefs design.
The figure of Kosciuszko. which Is
the leading feature of the monumental
group, represents Kosciuszko In the uni
form of a general in the United States
army. He stands in an easy and natural
position, his left hand resting on his
sword and his right hand holding a
scroll representing plans of a fort1hca-
ton. The figure is eleven feet high and
will be cast in bronze.
In addition to the statue proper. there
will be two groups on opposite sides OF
the base. one representing Liberty and
the other Bravery. These will be f1anked
by two hemispheres surmounted by
eagles with outstretched wings. Mr..
Popiel now has a studio at Chicago,
where he is engaged in completing the
monument.

long been purchasing and Weighing horses
for the military service, and transferring
them from carriage or draft employment
to the various branches Of the cavalry
and artillery. The animals are ordinarily
assigned according to weight. The French
military authorities find that an ordinary
light carriage or riding horse, such as In
the United States would be called good

400 kilograms-say from 500 to 900 pounds.
Such horses as these are assigned to the

Statement by Lieut.. Domaine.

Lieut.. Domaine said this morning that
only yesterday he learned that the new
company had the chests of the old COM
pany packed and ready to be taken to
camp. He notified Capt. P. ]. Murphy,
he said and under instructions from
the captain he called Capt. Slaymaker
by telephone and instructed him not to
remove them, as they were not state
property. He said he thought nothing
further of the incident until he saw
them on the pavement in front Of his
house.
Capt. Murphy of the old company ex-
pressed surprise at the action of the
company. He said he would not have
objected had the chests been hauled to
his residence and placed in his yard.
ITO my mind Capt Slaymaker's conduct
is spectacular and inexcusable," he said
He added that he did not see why Lieut.
Demaine's family should have been en-
barrassed because of a controversy over
the property. He said he would have
loaned the company the chests had he
been requested to do SO. The chests
We're this morning turned over by Lieut.
