FINDS DEFECTS IN
CAPITOL PAINTINGS
Critic Says Five Of Eight Mas.
terpieces in Dome Have
Flaws or Errors.

Out of the eight great allegorical
paintings in the dome Of the Capitol.
Ave either are defective in technique
or In error as to natural or historical
facts. This charge is made by a writer
in the Youths Companion, who points
out just why the artists should be cut
down to Percentage of .625.
Take the painting which shows Wash
ington resigning his commission in the
Continental Congress. It's an inspiring
picture, but one of the two young girls
shown in the foreground has three
hands. One left hand rests on the
shoulder Of her companion. Another
left hand Is around her companion's
waist. The magazine writer gives the
artist, Trumbull. the benefit of the
doubt by explaining that he tried tho
girls hands both ways and then forgot
to paint out the one he didn't like.
Opecancanough. the Indian chief, ID
shown at the baptism of his niece,
Pocahontas. in bare feet and with six
toes on his left foot.
General Washington is conspicuous
on a white horse at the surrender Of
CORVALLIS, but, as a matter Of histori-
Cal IhCt, luc + oSAcT VI I1lb ~ub
not there, but sent q subordinate, be-
cause Cornwall did l ot appear in per-
son to surrender.
Inasmuch as the histories are written
and the painting is painted. the histori-
cal inaccuracy will have TO so uncor-
rected.
In the painting of the landing of
Christopher Columbus the artist paint
e6 three flags. They are very we'll
drawn, but one is blowing east, one
west. and one south. which, the critic
submits. indicates a very variable con-
dition OF the wind on that famous day.
The fifth error pointed out is not in
technique, but In the historical accuracy
of the title. 1t shows the Signing of
the Declaration Of Independence at
Philadelphia on July 1. Hts" The
was not signed until August q 1T7S.

CAPT. DALEY HITS
SNAG IN CANDIDACY
"CoIor Line Resolution Is Re-
pudiated by Army and
Navy Union.

Capt John c. Daley, commanding the
Ninth police precinct. in this city, and
department. commander of the Army
and Navy Union. may find his pathway
to the post Of national commander, for
which he IL now candidate, suddenly
blocked by reason Of his color line
resolution, which was repudiated by
the national encampment of the organi-
zation at Philadelphia yesterday.
Captain Daley tried to offer a resolu-
ton which. 1t Is said. would segregate
the white and colored members of the
Army and Navy Union. Before the
resolution could be introduced delegates
from all parts of the hall began shout
Ing, "Sit down." "Out OF order" and
National Commander George Russell
Downs declared Captain Daley out Of
order. -
1t IL believed that much of the sup
port that Captain Daley might have
gained for his candidacy has been for
feited by the Introduction Of his "color
line resolution. Many of the dele
gates said the colored man had won his
right to be in the ranks Of the army
and navy by standing shoulder to
shoulder with the white man in time
Of war.
Senator Bois Penrose. in his address
at the opening of the encampment,
said this country was always prepared
for war.
"Our resources are immeasurably great
er than those Of any nation or several
nations, and at the call to arms q mil
lion men would respond tomorrow
ready to jump to the defense Of the
Republic"

Col. Theodore Roosevelt Is still op-
posed TO amalgamation Of the Rep1bli-
can and Bull Moose parties. In a letter
to Secretary HOFFMAN, OF the Progress
sive party of Michigan, the colonel
says:

gressives of Michigan. trust they will

the Progressive party Is the only organ

can be put into effect, for both the old
parties are boss-ridden and privileged

.[ANSFORD Will HAVE
ELECTRIC LIGHTS
STOCK COMPANY WILL PUT IN
$6Ovv MODERN PLAN1-WHITE
WAY FOR ENERGETIC LITTLE
CITY.

That Lansford is one of the most
energetic little cities in Northwestern
North Dakota is shown by the fact
that company of business men Of
that town will finance a proposition to
install modern $4,000 electric 1ighting
system there. NJ. S. Hyland, the well
known Fargo electrician, spent last
week there talking the proposition over
with the business men. A 100 light
plant with 35-horse power engine
is to be installed, and the city has do
mated $1,000 towards the plant. A great
white way covering three blocks will
be installed The plant will have stor-
age batteries, giving the city "a hour
service. Mr.. Hyland has installed fif-
teen first class plants in valley towns.
