upon Mr.. and Mrs. Charles P. Taft.
Tine attack is made in connection with
The TAFT plan for a lincoln monument
In Cincinnati, and Borglum takes oc-
casion to accuse the Tafts of grand
larceny of the sacred privileges of the
artist"
Borglum ridicules the plan of the
Tafts to build a monument to Lincoln
costing 500, 600. This monument is to
be designed by George Grey Bernard,
the American sculptor, who lives in
Paris.
BorgIum,s Charges.
Borglum starts o with this state
ment:
Grand larceny of one of he pref
test sentiments that ever inspired a
donation of money is what Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles P. Taft have committed
in making a contract to erect a Lin
coin memorial statue. This theft OF an
IDEA was p6TpetraIoQ upoh SIN
woman, whose Low of her departed
husband prompted her to make the
largest donation ever provided by a
single individual for the creation of a
single statue, establishing by this act
a new epoch in the history of Ameri-
can art. They stole the idea because
Mrs. Aims wished to have the statue
created by some one whom they did
not happen to favor, even though Mrs.
Aims felt that their choice was ex-
tremely unwise."
Failed to Get Commission.
He then details how he was called
20 Cincinnati, consulted with the
members of the Aims Commission and
left with the understanding that he
was to be given the contract. The
commission went to New York, where
he entertained them with trips to his
studio and the Metropolitan Museum,
and then left with the assurance still
of the same nature. Next, say Mr..
Borglum. the commission sent him "the
most unreasonable contract I have ever
seen"
He says he wrote them hat he would
accede to this. That was last spring.
He says that this was the last he ever
heard from them directly. q

When Mr.. Coe, who lives at SOS High
