MYSTERY IN BUST
FOUND At CAPITOL
ScuIptor's Excellent Work Is
Located Amid Cellar Dirt.
But Who Is It?

Elliott Woods, superintendent Of the
Capitol, and his office force are unable
TO agree on the identity of a splendid
bust found while cleaning up one OF
the old store rooms in the basement OF
the Capitol. Hailed as a new bust of
Columbus when 1t was first found, the
superintendent and his office force now
have practically decided that 1t is some
one else.
There is no one around the Senate
building right at present who processes
to qualify as an, art connaisseur, mem
beres of Congress, of course, not in
cluded. Charles e. Fairman, art cura-
tor Of the Capitol. is away on his va
cation. and his testimony cannot be OBJ
tanned. Some Of the members of the
local art colony probably will be call
ed in to determine the age and the
identity OF the bust.
The general impression is that the
bust was made by some of the artists
engaged years ago in the decoration of
the Capitol. The bust evidently was re-
jected when presented in some competi-
tion and never was taken from the
building. How many years It has been
gathering dust and dirt in the Capitol
cellar is not known, but when found the
other day. II was so dirty that IL re-
sembled nothing more than a big bust
modelled out Of mud in childish play.
Striking Work of Art.
Treated with a cleaning preparation
the bust was seen to be an exceptionally
striking work Of art. Mounted on a
pedestal in Superintendent Woods Of
fee It proved the dominating factor In
the office decorations.
The argument over the identity Of the
bust has been waging fiercer every
day. Some Of the office force insist It
Is Columbus, representing the explorer
probably in the days before the perils
and hardships of his voyage of dis
covery left their impress upon his coun-
tenance. Others declare the bust pre-
sents too much of a clerical appear
ance to represent the explorer. The
hair Is not the same, and the sugges-
ton of side whiskers weakens the re-
semblance to Columbus.
Want To Keep Bust.
But whoever 1t is. the work of a real
artist is clearly seen and it will be a
disappointment to the superintendent's
force il the newly found statue Is not
permitted to remain as part of the per-
manent decoration Of that office.
Senate employees also have found two
other statues, one supposed to repre-
sent cincinnatus and the other a young
Greek. They were found under a leak
