Mae Gorham is the original of
the feminine figure in "Una and
the Lion" displayed in the New
York Academy of Fine Arts.
Among famous painting which
reproduce her face and figure are
una and the Lion" F. s. Church; /;
Harvest, Vincente 1. Adrente;
"The Awakening" Carl Beckwith; /;
"The Slave" Frank j. Beal, and
Mischief" by Carl Blenner.
Though not the original Gibson
girl, Miss Gorham has recently
posed for a number of heads on
the new building of the Univers-
ity of New York.
Miss Gorham, whose family
name is Gordon. and who was
christened plain Elizabeth, comes
from st. Paul, Mimi, where her
father was a riverman.
AT 13 she ran away to Chicago,
bound for the theater, but theat-
rical managers did not want a
child of such tender years and she
was persuaded to return to school,
and incidentally to help pay her
way by posing for artists.
At 16, however, the dramatic
bee returned with sharper sting,
and success finally crowned her
efforts when the Shuberts engag-
ed her.

Savage and Cornell
Show Commissioners
They're on the Square
STATEMENT CONTRACTOR SHOWN FAISE-WHY
THE

"The statement of the contrac-
tor quoted in The Times saying
there had been collusion between
Hans Peterson and us and that
his bid on the power rSant was
our bid, or any statement that we
had anything to do with it, is alb
solutely false" said George Milton
Savage before the city commission
this morning when he appeared
with A. r. Titlow and Dan Cor
nell, the latter another member
nf the Nisqually Contracting COM
pany, which has the job of digging
the tunnel for the municipal pow
er plant.
Mr.. Savage and Mr.. Cornell
both declared they had been gross
ly -misrepresented by the state
ment of the contractor.
81 do not know Mr.. Peterson
and never went to Seattle to see
him nor had any conference there
with him or other contractors
With reference to the matter" con-
linued Mr.. Savage.
Mr.. Cornell backed him up.
No COllusiOn
Commissioner Lawson said he
was satisfied there was nothing to
the statement and that Savage,
Nichols and the other members of
the Tacoma contracting firm had
nothing to do with Pederson's bid.
He declared Peterson had not
taken the obligation declaring
there was no collusion until after
the bids were open, but he had
then taken him before the city
attorney and he had then done so.
when this first contract was
let the original contractors had
trouble with the bonds and the
whole project was threatened and
SO I got together with Mr.. Mich
OILS, Mr.. Bonnell and Cornell broth
ers and we took the contract off
their hands because we want to
see it put through. We have our
interests here and we want to see
this project completed so the city
will be Independent on the matter
of light and power and we took
this first job solely with view
to making it go through. We
have said all the time that II we
knew any other reputable contrac-
tor would bid we would keep out
entirely, as we did not want the
: lob.
Why They Did Not Bid
"When we discovered that Mr..
Peterson was going to put in a
bid we were satisfied and did not
bid because we knew he was a
competent contractor and could
carry the work through"
Nothing has yet been reported
to the council by Commissioner
Lawson on the bid of Peterson.
He had conference with Peder-
son yesterday over the machinery
to be used. Peterson, it appears,
was bidding on one kind and Law
son wants another kind. Just
what Peterson does want or what
Lawson wants is not given out.
The statement of Savage, Cor
nell and Titlow before the COM
mission this morning seemed to
impress the commission with
their sincerity in the matter, and
IL Peterson can be brought to
terms he may get the job.
