B~orglums Were

How it Comes They Did Not Get Com
mission for the Lincoln
Statue.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Neb., July S.-(Special)-"In-
sofar as the Borglums are concerned in
the matter Of the Lincoln monument to
be erected on the state house grounds.
the committee in charge did not examine
our work, visit our studies or discuss the
monument with us. The committee was in
no position to consider us In connection
with the monument because It had not
conculsted us. Mr.. F. NJ. Hall consulted
Mr.. French, and so far as l know he was
the only sculptor Mr.. Hall visited while
in the east. At least three Nebraskans
have national or international regulations
as sculptors, and they at least should have
been considered when the commission was
given to build a monument for the state.
To say the least, the committee acted
very undignified."
This statement was made by Gutzon
Borglum, the sculptor, who with DR..
Frank Borglum of Lincoln, his brother,
was the guest of Governor Shallenberger
for lunch today. He was accompanied to
Lincoln by Mrs. Borglum and a niece.
Miss Darlow.
To the governor, Mr.. Borglum said the
talk that he nor his brother, Scion Borg
lum. desired to be considered in the mat
ter of the erection Of the monument vas
erroneous. 1t had been their custom al
ways not to compete financially with each
other for work, but the commission to
build the monument was not an affair
where there was competition of that ma
ture.
The statement was made at the commit
tee meeting, when Mr.. French was chosen
as the sculptor, that the Borglums had
sent word they were not to be considered.
Addison Wait qualified this statement by
saying that should either be given the
commission, he felt no doubt about him
accepting.
Il favored giving the commission to Mr..
Borglum," said the governor, and so did
General Henderson, but we were given to
understand at the meeting that neither
was to be considered. General Henderson
undoubtedly thought that, because he re-
marked thai with the Borglums were out
Of it, there was nothing to do but give
the commission to Mr.. French. 1 regret
that we did not more thoroughly under
stand the position of the Borglums."
Gutzon Borglum is now making a $25, OOJ
Lincoln monument for Newark, N. j., and
he will shortly begin the construction of
an $50, 900 Lincoln monument for the city
of Washington, though he said he would
rather have made the Lincoln monument
for Nebraska than to have had either OF
the two commissions. Mr.. Borglum is also
shortly to make a bust of President Taft
for Yale.
Before the $4,000 appropriated by the
late legislature is available for the use
Of the Monument association, the commit
tee must raise $40. 200. Joe johnson, former
deputy food commissioner has been hired
to assist in the collection of this money,
and yesterday he was paid 500, a 8 per
cent commission, for getting pledges for

he will be paid another 800, making 1C
