LOCK OF DICKENS
HAIR IS HELD FOR
$40 DUTY CHARGES.

New York, Dec. 11.-Charles
Dickens hair, just a little lock Of it
valued at 5000. is causing stir at
the customs house. The lock of
hair was sent here in consign-
nent Of $4,000 worth of rare books
for local dealer, who says ths
hair was included in the consign-
ment without his knowledge and
who refuses to pay the $40 duty for
the hair as demanded by the gov
crnment officials.
Articles Of antiquity must be 100
years old to enter this country free
of duty. Dickens was born in 1912,
more than 100 years ago. and it has
been argued that for this reason
the hair should be admitted duty
free, even though the lock was cut
in later life. The customs house Of
ficiais maintain however, that the
lock Is not yet an antiquity and
must pay the regular duty on hair,
35 per cent Of it's value.
The dealer involved has taken the
case to the secretary Of the treas
ury, asking to be permitted to take
the books out OF the customs house
and to, have the hair returned to
the -consignor.

n. Dakota Sculptor
May Be Chosen to
Make Lincoln Statue
Paul Felde Pupil of dorado Taft May Be Selected as th
Sculptor Of Lincoln Statue
Final Decision Will Be Made at Meeting on Dec 26 tc
Held at Home of Governor Hanna
ef Meeting of Lincoln Statue Commission Held at the
Governors Residence Last Night ....

That North Dakota's gift to the Nor
wegfan government in the form of the
statue of Abraham Lincoln may be en-
tirely a flickertail product, it is prob
able that North Dakota sculptor may
be selected to model the statue.
The North Dakota sculptor Is Paul
Fjelde, formerly of Fargo, who lived
here most all of his life until he went
out into the world to make a name
for himself, which he has succeeded
in doing in a comparatively brief
time, as those things go.
Paul Fjelde is the son Of a well
known Fargo man of the earlier days
who is still we'll remembered here. He
passed away at an untimely age, and
his family remained here for many
years later.
In recent years young Fjelde has
been one of the most promising pupils
of dorado Taft, the noted American
sculptor, and his work has been con-
spicuously noticed by Chicago and
eastern critics.
ShoTild Paul Fjelde be accepted by
the Lincoln state commission as the
sculptor for North Dakota's gift to
the Norwegian government, it is un-
derstood that it will doubtless be un-
der the direct supervision Of Mr.. Taft
himself, who has taken great interest
ain his pupil and his career.
N& dorado Taft's famous works, which
have given him a prominent place in
American sculpture and art, include
his statue of George Washington at
Seattle his statue OF Ulysses S. Grant
at Fort LeavenWorth, Kan, The Soli-
tude Of the Soul, and The Blind at
the Chicago Art institute, The Foun-
tain of the Great Lakes. and The Eter-
nal Silence at Chicago, and the great
statue of Hiawatha overlooking the
Black river at Savanna, Ill.
dorado Taft is also known to art
critics as the author of the History OF
American Sculpture. He was born in
Elmwood. Ill, in 1850, and graduated
at the University Of Illinois in 1879.
Later he studied at the Paris Ecoie
,des Beaux Arts. where. in his last year,

DESERTED SHIP

British ship Dalgonar, from Callao for.
Taltal, Chile. was sighted Oct. 2s about
1900 miles west Of the coast Of Chile
by the French bark Marie, Captain
Moricet, which arrived yesterday from
Liverpool #

6s5 tons and probably carried thirty
men. Two of her small boats were
missing but the others still swung
from the davits. The cargo had shift
ed and she was lying almost on her
b beam ends Her papers were missing,
having been taken by her captain
Captain Moricet thinks II unlikely
the crew Of the Dalgonar reached land
unless picked up. The wreck appear x
Cd to have been caught in a hurricane
which shifted her ballast.

! he Won the Atelier prize. In 1885 he
became an instructor in the Chicago
Art institute and later Joined the fac
ulty Of the University Of Chicago. He
was awarded a silver medal at the
Pan American exposition in Buffalo in
1901 and a gold medal at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition in 1904,
Surely young Mr.. Fjelde could have
no better schooling than in the studio
OF such an eminent master, where he
had the advantage of working under
Mr.. Tafts personal observation. The
North Dakota boys work has won fay-
orable notice and the Lincoln statue
commission could not probably secure
the services of a better sculptor than
In this states own product, who will
have the advantage of Mr.. Taft's per-
sonal criticism.
FieIeIe Will Be Here.
At the meeting of the Lincoln statue
commission to be held at the residence
Of Governor Hanna on Friday, Dec. 26,
the day after Christmas, Mr.. Fielde
will be present.
On that occasion he will present the
sculptor's plans and drawings for the
proposed Lincoln statue for the com
missions approval. The final decision
will be made on that date as to the
selection of the sculptor.
The members of the commission, be-
sides the governor, are Miss Dean Of
the Valley City. normal school, Profess
sor Ttnglestad of the University of
North Dakota, DR.. III. O. F'jelde of
Fargo, Judge G. f. Amidon of Fargo
and o. j. Sorlie of Buxton
Sister at Normal School.
Paul FJelde's sister, Miss Katherine
Fjelde, is we'll known as a member Of
the faculty in the music department
of the Valley City normal school. Her
talent is quite marked and has gained
her wide reputation throughout the
state.
\ Miss Fjelde was in the city last
evening to hear Ignace Paderewski in
his splendid concert at the North Da
kota Agricultural college armory.

PROTECTION FOR
FARMER URGED

Boston, Dec 11.--A protective tariff
which would give the American farm
cr undisputed control Of the home
market for at least ten years, was ad-
yocated by Senator McCumber& Of
North Dakota yesterday at the meet
ing OF the Massachusetts, state grange.
He suggested It was the only remedy
for the present low prices the farmer
gets for his products.
Give the American farmer the
American market for ten years as you
have given the same to the merchants
or manufacturers for fifty years" he
said. "and the problem will solve It
self. This Is not a partisan, but an
Industrial question"
